I throw up my hands. “By a marriage that was finished years ago. A marriage that you barely even remember taking the vows for.”
“That’s not how the rest of society will see it.”
“What society, Reed? It’s just us out here. You’re killing all of us by denying us what feels right. Honestly, I’ve never known anything to feel more right than being here with all of you. It’s been killing me, holding myself back from touching you, holding you, and I know you feel the same way. Who are you doing this for? A bunch of nameless people we might never even see again?”
He lowers his head. “You, Laney. I’m doing it for you.”
“It’s not what I want. I’m eighteen years old. I should get to decide.”
“You’ll regret it later.”
The muscles in my jaw are clamped tight, and so much adrenaline is rushing through my body, I feel slightly sick. “First of all, we don’t even know that we have a later. We all might still die out here. Secondly, so what if I do? I can’t imagine how I possibly could, but if I do, don’t I get to make my own mistakes?”
“I’m worried that you’re going to grow up, and look back at all of this, and hate me.”
“I could never hate you.”
He put his head in his hands. “You say that now, but what happens when you’re thirty and I’m already past fifty? You’re going to think differently of me then.”
I take his hand. It’s so warm and rough and familiar. I love this hand. “I’ll still love you. I don’t see your age.”
“But you will.”
“Then we’ll deal with it then. There are always going to be bumps in the road in relationships. Even people who are the same age have them, and Reed, we don’t even know if we’re going to get to thirty and fifty. We don’t know if we’re going to live past winter. Don’t ruin what little time we might have with ‘what ifs.’”
He twists his body to look into my face, and for the first time, I see hope in his eyes.
“God, you’re so beautiful,” he says. “From the first second I saw you, it was like something changed in my life. No one has ever affected me the way you do.”
“Then stop fighting it. I’m yours, Reed. Take me. Take all of me.”
He slides his hand up the side of my face, cupping the back of my neck.
“I’m powerless around you, baby. When I’m around you, all I want is to touch and hold you, and when we’re not together, I can’t stop thinking about you. It’s like the only thing I exist for now is you, and keeping my distance from you is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”
I reach for him, touching his face, the bristle of his beard growth scratchy against my palm. “Then don’t keep your distance. None of us want that. I feel exactly the same way about you.”
He turns his head, planting a kiss to my palm.
I draw in a shaky breath. I don’t want to push him, in case he withdraws from me again, but just that simple kiss has stoked a fire inside me.
“I want you, Reed. I want you to consume every inch of me. I want—no,need—to feel you inside me.”
“Ah, fuck, baby.” He has a new kind of intensity in his eyes. “You have no idea how much I want that. Every part of your body should be mine.”
“It already is,” I tell him. “You just need to take it.”
He doesn’t wait another second longer. He covers my mouth with his and kisses me with a fierce hunger, which I return. He breaks the kiss, both of us panting with need.
“I want to take this hole,” he touches my lips. “And this hole.” He pushes his hand between my thighs. Then he reaches around to my ass and growls, “and this hole. I’m going to pin you down and fuck you so hard you’ll forget your own name.”
I whimper, partly in excitement, partly fear. It’s like I’ve unleashed a beast and I’m not sure I’ll be able to put him back in his cage again.
He strips me naked, and then removes his own clothes. I love being naked with him. His body is different than Cade’s and Darius’s, thicker, more solid, with a spattering of hair across his chest. It makes him even sexier.
“Suck my cock, baby-girl. Get on your knees and suck Daddy’s cock.”
He’s gotten over his stepfather issues, then...
