“Don’t get cocky,” I tell him, scratching the nape of his neck.
“Me? Never,” he says mockingly. “You know what all of this means now, though, don’t you?”
“What?”
“I get free dessert whenever I want.”
“Tyler.” I laugh, and he kisses the side of my neck playfully. “You have to earn it.”
“You know I’m good for it, sugar. I could earn a few free cookies right now if you want?”
“I know you could. But you have a yard full of people at your house, and someone is bound to either show up or leave and see us.”
“And that’s a problem?”
“Yes,” I say through a short laugh. “I don’t want any woman to see what’s mine.”
“It’s yours,” he assures me, cupping my cheek. “And now that you put it that way, I don’t need the guys here getting a peek at what’s mine.”
“I like the way that sounds. Being yours.”
“Good. I like the way it sounds, too. You know, I’ve never said that to, or about, a woman before,” he confesses.
“Really?”
“Yeah.” He nods. “And knowing I get to have you in my arms every night, and wake up every morning to your beautiful face…I’m the luckiest man in the world.”
Smiling, I pull him back down to my lips, kissing him hard.
“I think it’s safe to say we’re both experiencing a lot of firsts with each other. And you know another one I want with you right now?”
“What’s that?” He kisses my left cheek, then my right.
“I can’t wait a few hours. I need you now. So, where’s your truck?” I look to the left and right, and he barks out a laugh, kissing me below my ear.
“I parked my truck on the other side of my house to leave room for other people. Plenty of privacy over there.”
“Lead the way, handsome.”
Smiling wickedly, he presses me back with a hard, bruising kiss, and then takes my hand. With everyone around the bonfire, we’re able to easily sneak across his front lawn without anyone seeing us.
Tyler pulls down the tailgate of his truck and lifts me up onto it. “I forgot to tell you that I love your hair,” he says, tucking it behind my ears and tugging on the ends. “It’s sexy.”
“Thank you. I see you grew your beard back.” I rub his jaw lovingly. “I like you both ways.”
“Do you, now?” he taunts, slipping his hands under my sweater. They span my back, and I sigh, his hands on my bare skin again feels like coming home.
“Mhmm.”
“Good to know my woman likes all of me.”
“Loves,” I correct, and he growls, capturing my lips with his.
“Say it again for me.”
My heart flutters, and I slide my hands under his t-shirt, helping him lift it up and over his head.
“I love you, Tyler.”
