“I love us like this,” I whisper. “Always have.”
“You feel divine,” she tells me. “And so, so right. Everything else felt wrong…” She shakes her head.
I glance at her as I hear the emotion in her voice.
I know, I feel it too. The way we are together, it could make a grown man cry.
I still fucking love her. I want to tell her, but the words won’t come out.
I’m still guarded. I need to know the score. Is there a chance we can rekindle things?
Do I want that? And more importantly, what does she want?
All good questions with her luscious body wrapped around me.
The answers will come soon enough. I know it.
For now, I just want to enjoy her in this space, right here, right now.
No interruptions, and no talking about the past.
“We’re good together,” I tell her, breathing her in. “Always were, Em.”
I can’t help but think that this is all too fucking perfect. I don’t even want to think about what happens when she has to go again…
I push that out of my head and kiss her on the side of her head.
“Let’s lay here just a little bit,” I say, knowing I still have a little bit of time before I need to get to dinner tonight. It isn’t cold, but I pull up the throw blanket at the bottom of the couch over us. “If you want to.”
I feel her nod against me. “Right here is exactly the only place I want to be right now,” she says.
And so, it is.
CHAPTER21
Taylor
When we finally get up off the couch, and get cleaned up, she has to go to the hospital, and I have to get home so I can shower before I head out again to meet dad.
As we head out of the pool house, I take her hand, and we walk around to the front, where we say goodbye.
“I’ll talk to you later,” I say, kissing her on the forehead.
“All right.” She nods.
“Send my best to your Dad as well.” I know she’ll be seeing him again before visiting hours are over.
She smiles. “He was pretty happy you brought it home for the Hawks.”
“I aim to please.” I shrug.
“You definitely do that, and exceed.” She sighs.
I pull her into my arms and give her a squeeze. “Still no regrets?” I ask her, pulling back to look at her.
“About this?”
I nod.
