"Cole? Where are you going?"

I don't reply, but when I'm close to my car, she grabs and yanks on my arm. Her touch makes me halt my movement for a moment, and she takes this opportunity to pass me. With her back against the driver’s door, she shouts, "Wait!"

"Move, Alex."

"No! Not until you talk to me."

I scratch the back of my neck. "What is there to say? You asked for space, and I'm clearly invading it." A soft breeze brings her unique but delicious fruity scent into my nose, and my body reacts fiercely. I grind my teeth, trying to focus on anything except Alex blocking my car door. Wanting her to move, I blurt out my other thoughts. "It's clear you don't need me anymore, since you were having the time of your life with that asshat."

"Cole, that guy is my old neighbor, who I haven't seen for seven years. He came over and asked me to go on a walk. That's all. Nothing is going on between him and me."

"Yeah, right. He touched you and asked you out."

"Yes, he did," she responds without showing any emotions.

"Did you kiss him?" My chest burns as if it's soaking in acid, and my jaw muscles cramp by the pressure I place on them while I await her answer.

"Of course I didn't kiss Steven. Why the hell would I want to do that when all I want and have thought about these past days is you? You stupid fool."

She missed me too?

"You know what? Forget it," she says when I haven't reacted to her confession. "I'm going to catch up to Steven and tell him to book a restaurant," she rants on. "He's a doctor in the emergency room, so if that lunatic of a stalker beats me up again, he will be able to put my body back together."

She swings the car door open and yells, "Get in the goddamn car and leave me alone. I don't need you." Her words pull me out of my trance, and I slam the car door shut and press her against it.

"Oh, no you don't. You're—"

I grab her chin, and in one movement, my lips are on hers. The softness of her mouth is like a balm to my aching soul, but when she doesn't react, I lift my head and spill my truth.

"I missed you too, Alex."

She blinks. "What did you miss about me?" she whispers, now gazing at my shirt.

The vulnerable tone in her voice tells me this is the time to open up. I grab a strand of her blonde hair that found its way out of her ponytail and play with it. Slowly her jade depths come up, and when they meet mine, I answer, "I missed everything about you. I missed seeing your beautiful face, your laugh, and your witty, sassy remarks. But mostly, I've missed having you near me and being able to touch and hold you in my arms."

She wets her lips, and I touch them with my thumb. "I've ripped up our contract."

Her pupils dilate. "Why did you do that?"

"Because I don't want you for only six months. I want you indefinitely, Alex."

Her breath halts, and I enjoy the moment of confusion washing over her beautiful features as her brain is processing the information. For a moment, every muscle of her body freezes. But then, a grin transforms her static facial features, and it soon stretches from one side to the other, showing every single tooth.

"These last six days I've dreamt about you saying goodbye and walking off with another man. And it's driving me up the wall because I want to be the only one touching and kissing you. What I feel for you, I’ve never felt for any woman… You’re the first person I told about my past." I cup her face between my palms. "I never meant to hurt you, Alex. But my demons got triggered and rose to the surface after our amazing shower moment. I tried to control them, but then you mentioned the room, and it became too much, and I snapped. I'm sorry, I—"

She presses a finger on my lips.

"I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have pushed you into talking. You’ve opened up so much already. So, apology accepted. Now fucking kiss the hell out of me, Walker."

Our mouths crash together, and our tongues start their hungry but perfect duet. Her lips are delicate and warm, and when she moans in my mouth, I let go of her face and take hold of her delicious ass. The fingers of one of her hands dives into my hair while her other brushes over my beard. My mouth leaves hers for a moment to attack that sweet spot below her ear. She lets out a sultry moan that makes my pants tight in a second, and as if she knows what is going down south, she cups my dick through my pants and massages it. I press my crotch harder against her palm but pull away before shooting my load.

"Jesus. If we don't stop now, I will remove your jumpsuit and take you here on the public road."

"I don't mind a bit of kinkiness."

I growl and cup her sweetness through her clothing. "Okay, take me to where you're staying, because I can't wait to pound this naughty pussy of yours." I bend my head and whisper in her ear, "I'm going to fuck you until you scream my name so loud that your dickhead of a neighbor will know that you are mine. Hell, this whole town will know you're getting laid."

Like a sexy kitten, she scratches her nails on the nape of my neck before placing her forehead against mine.
