“Darling, you’re tempting me beyond reason. You’re in a time of your life when all is changing. You moved thousands of miles to a new place that is so different from New York. You left your job, your friends, your support system…” he told her.
“That’s partly true. I didn’t have friends. The only one I had cheated with my fiancé,” she said.
God! She had gone through so much shit. She was heartbroken and probably saw him as a life jacket in the middle of the stormy sea.
“That info only added to my point. Your mind is clouded with pain, and you could be mistaken your want of stability with…”
“I’m wide aware of what I’m feeling and what I want right now, Ted. Don’t worry. I know I want you, badly. We probably won’t last. I’m not looking for my true love, or my charming prince, Ted. I want to live my life, that’s all. Is that clear enough for you?”
Her words were firm, and she stared at him in defiance. She was breathtaking, and she wanted to be his. Things were sound and clear.
He wasn’t swearing eternal love, but she wasn’t, either. The truth hit him then.
Being with Dakota was a challenge for him, too. All this time, he had been thinking he would be the one who could fail and retreat.
But what if she was the one who changed her mind and left him? She was a city girl. She never said she would stay.
So, both of them had things to lose and gain. He stared at her, smiled, and then his arm enveloped the back of her neck and pulled her to him.
“Sexy lady, I’m going to kiss you now.”
“Waiting,” she said, waving her brows, and he didn’t think more.
She barely got the words out before his mouth came crashing against hers. He kissed her hungrily, devouring her soft, sweet lips.
She parted them for him and then he ravished her inner mouth with powerful strokes of his tongue. Her mouth tasted like cream and coffee, and he couldn’t get enough.
He bit her bottom lip and growled with it between his teeth. Dakota hummed in return.
The sound of catcalls forced them to separate, and he glared at the two assholes who were staring at them.
“Back of, idiots. Buy yourself a life,” he yelled, and both retreated when they saw he wasn’t bluffing, and Dakota was red and stared at the ground.
“Sorry, Ted. We just…” one said.
“You’re lucky I cannot punch your sorry asses!” he added, and took Dakota’s hand and stood. “Let’s go, sweet. I don’t want any other jerk giving us shit.”
“Ted…” She helped him with the crutches. “I liked it. I loved it. I want more,” she whispered, still blushed.
“I loved it, too, sweetie. We will do it again, promised. Now, let’s find your grandma.”
“Marge told me she will drive Peggy Sue back home when she is tired. My grandma is having the time of her life, chatting with everyone who gets to the food truck.”
He narrowed his eyes and stared at her.
“I feel like going home, Dakota. Now.”
She giggled and nodded.
“That’s okay, boss. I will drive you. I don’t want you to force your leg too much.”
“Oh, I won’t.” He put his hand on her lower back and pushed her to the exit path.
He couldn’t wait to kiss her again and again.
