Lifting my head, I rest my chin on my hand to meet his gaze.
“We’re really doing this. You’re sure?”
“I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life, sweetheart.”
“Why now?” I ask the question that’s been niggling in the back of my mind.
“Truthfully?”
I don’t like that word, but I need the answer. The honest one.
“Yes.”
“I wanted to talk to you the moment I got back to town. I always saw the two of us together in the end.”
“But you didn’t talk to me for months. Until the reunion…”
One side of his mouth quirks up.
“I’m not going to lie. Seeing you with Brian? That slapped me in the face. If I didn’t get off my ass, I was going to lose you. Permanently.”
“Is that why you kissed me back that night?”
“I wanted to do more. But I’m not that guy, Jade. I wasn’t going to take what wasn’t mine.”
I nod.
“I did need to break up with him. I knew before that night that there wasn’t a future with him.”
“Your future is with me.”
The certainty in his eyes soothes some of the doubts that swirl in my stomach. But I must not have them masked as well as I thought I did. He lifts his hand to my cheek.
“I’m going to prove it to you, Jade. I’m not going anywhere again. You’re it for me. I’ll be here so much, you’ll wish I was somewhere else.”
“Not likely,” I tell him and lean down to brush his lips with mine.
In one quick move, he rolls us so that he’s cradled between my thighs. He pulses his hips, and I cry out until his lips capture mine and his tongue licks into my mouth. Withdrawing until only his tip remains, he holds my hips from reconnecting us while his lips trace my jaw to my ear.
“Ready for round two?” he breathes in my ear.
I dig my nails into his biceps and try to lift my hips again, but it’s no use. He’s in control.
“Please,” I say.
He moves forward an inch and stops again.
“Tell me.”
“Yes.”
I expect him to drive back into me but he still doesn’t move.
“Yes what?”
“I’m ready for round two,” I tell him and mewl when he slides all the way back in.
“For forever,” he corrects.
