Nothing.
I pulled away, pressing my head to hers. “God, I love you. Do you know how much I love you?”
A burst of red crept up her neck and into her cheeks as she cast her eyes downward. “I love you too.” Her voice was low and filled with vulnerability.
Sliding a finger under her jaw, I angled her face to mine.“Hey, what’s wrong?”
“I just miss you. I love CSU, and I even made some new friends, but it’s not the same without you.”
“It’s only until Mom gets back on her feet. And now that you’re settled, I’ll come and see you on the weekends.”
She didn’t know I intended on seeing a lot more of her.
Becca smiled, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
“Come here.” I pulled her over to the bed and pushed her down gently.“Stop. Worrying. It’s only a couple hundred miles. It’s nothing. Not when I’m in here.” My lips connected with the skin above her heart. “Or here.” I moved to her forehead and kissed her gently. “Or here.” My hips rolled into her, and she moaned softly. “I’m not going anywhere, Becca. I’m in this for the long haul. All in.”

“I can’t believe it’s already Sunday night. I have to leave in an hour, Evan. It’s so unfair.”
“Stay,” I said, hooking my arm around her neck and drawing her face to mine. “Stay. You can drive back early tomorrow.”
She sighed, pressing a lingering kiss to my lips. “I can’t. I have an early class. It’s important. I need to make a good impression.”
“I know. I’m so proud of you.” I captured Becca’s mouth, tangling my tongue with hers. Her hands ran up my chest and rested on my shoulder as her body curved into me.
“An hour, Evan. Don’t start something you can’t finish,” she whispered, smiling against my lips.
A throaty chuckle tumbled out, and I rolled us so I was hovering over her. “An hour is plenty of time.” I glanced at the clock on the nightstand. It was more like fifty minutes, but still… plenty of time. My fingers smoothed over the column of Becca’s neck, my lips tracing a path down her collarbone to the curve of her chest.
We didn’t get enough time alone. Everyone wanted to see her: her parents, Eli, even my mom, and then, as if I hadn’t waited long enough, Lilly and Scarlett had turned up to surprise her.
“God, I’ve missed this.” Becca’s hand dipped underneath my t-shirt. “Be quick. I need you, Evan. Please,” she moaned when my mouth closed around her pebbled skin.
“Let me take my ti—”
“Becca, Evan, we’re home.”
“Motherfucker,” I grumbled, shifting off her and giving myself a second to calm my racing pulse. Eli and Mom had impeccable timing.
“Becca, Becca!” His little voice rose louder.
“I think someone wants you.” I shot her an amused look, and she laughed.
“Guess, I’d better go see him then.”
“Come on. He’ll only get louder.”
We left my room to find an eager Eli bouncing up and down on his feet. “We’re baaaack!”
“We heard.” I ruffled his hair as I made my way into the living area. “Hey, Mom.”
“I’m sorry.” She gave me a weak smile. “He wanted to say bye.”
“It’s okay.” Becca didn’t know yet, but I had no intentions of saying bye to her tonight. “I should probably tell her anyway.”
“Tell me what?”
