“When you say shit like that, it’s gonna make me want to kiss you, so expect me to do just that, no matter where we are.” His tone was rough and caused me to shiver.
“Okay.”
“Good.” With a peck to my lips, he moved back to his seat and sat. “Now, we’re gonna talk.”
I nodded. It was all I could manage, still a little lost from that kiss.
“Maya, I fucked up when it came to you in the past.”
I stilled and pressed a hand over my belly.
“I want you to know it won’t ever happen again. I should have seen you back then. I didn’t, and that was the biggest mistake I made. But I see you now, babe. I’ve seen you for a fuckin’ long time.”
My insides turned buttery as he continued, “You give me your heart and I’ll take care of it in a way where you won’t ever have to worry about me or my intentions because you’ll know what I want. And, Maya, what I want is you in my life as mine. My woman. My old lady.”
Oh.
My.
God.
Tears formed in my eyes, and I bit my bottom lip to stop it from trembling.
“I know we’ve got a lot of time to lead up to the final point where I put a ring on your finger, but you gotta know, babe, that I see no one else but you in my future. Are you willing to hop on this ride with me and see where this can take us?”
“Texas,” I uttered, and slammed my lips into a tight line, afraid I was about to cry. I slid my gaze to the side and sucked in some deep breaths through my nose.
“Did I fuck up? Did I say this at the wrong time? Do you not want long term with me?”
Standing up, I wiped at my eyes as I walked to his side and pushed at his shoulder until he skidded his seat back so I could sit on his lap and curl into him.
My arms were so tight around him, I worried I’d strangle him. When I lifted my head from his shoulder and he cupped my cheeks, I drew in a shuddering breath. “I’m ready to hop on that ride with you, Texas.”
“Christ,” he clipped before he kissed me once again.
Something was placed on the table. I pulled back from Texas with a bright smile before I glanced to the side and found our waitress putting our food down.
I went to get up from Texas’s lap, but his arm tightened around my waist.
As I turned back to him, he kissed the corner of my mouth, my nose, and cheek. “Made me a fuckin’ happy man, babe.”
“The feeling is mutual,” I told him softly.
“Let’s get some food into you. Heard women can get testy if they’re not fed regularly.”
Snorting, I shoved his shoulder as I stood and went back to my seat. “I can’t deny it, but shouldn’t this be something you already know?”
“The only women I’ve been around in any long-term situation are Low and Rommy. Low’s already testy about everythin’, and Rommy’s too sweet to get testy.”
The only women he’d been around for a long period of time were his family.
Hadn’t he had other long-lasting girlfriends?
“But—”
“None of those girls I was with mattered, Maya.”
“But—”
