I can’t help but smile as I listen to Creed’s words.“So what’s your new dream?”
“You mean other than you?”He winks.
“Yes.Other than me.”
He pushes out a long sigh.“Right now, I’m just focused on getting through these next few weeks with as little difficulty as possible.After that, I’m not quite sure, apart from keeping my girlfriend satisfied.”He flashes a mischievous smile as he curves toward me.“I’m not quite sure if you heard, but she’s a complete minx in the bedroom.”
“Say that again,” I exhale.
“You’re a minx in the bedroom.”
I shake my head, pulling back to meet his gaze.“Not that.”
“Then what—”
“You called me your girlfriend.”
He straightens, blinking repeatedly.“I guess I did.”
“Is that what I am?Your girlfriend?”I tease.
He cups my cheek.“You’re so much more than that.But for now, I guess that’s the best title for you.”
I lean into him.“I like the idea of being your girlfriend.Of you being my boyfriend.”
He groans, his grip on me tightening.“Say it again.”
“You’re my boyfriend.”
In one swift motion, he yanks me off my chair, forcing me onto his lap, my legs straddling him.“Again.”
I drag my tongue along his jawline.“Boyfriend.”
“I didn’t think anything would turn me on more than the sound you make when you come, but hearing you call me your boyfriend is a damn close second.”
He covers my mouth, his tongue swiping against mine as he stands, easily lifting me with him.I wrap my legs around his waist, both of us kissing and laughing as he carries me to the couch.
As he makes love to me, I can’t help but be filled with hope for my future with Creed.It’s something I never dreamed of, but it’s now somehow within reach.
Maybe some of my other dreams are within reach, too.
ChapterTwenty-Two
Creed
The moonlight shinesthrough the windows of the opulent bedroom, casting shadows along Esme’s face as I watch her sleep.I should get some rest myself, considering in a few hours I need to say goodbye to her.
As much as I’ve enjoyed our time together, I fear it’s only going to make the next few weeks all that more difficult, especially now that I’ve had a taste of what our future will be like.
Regardless, I wouldn’t trade these past few days for anything.Even if it all implodes tomorrow, I’ll carry the memories we made for the rest of my life.From waking up with her in my arms.To spending our afternoons by the pool.To strolling along the beach and collecting seashells.It’s been nothing short of perfect.
Which is why I don’t want to fall asleep.Don’t want to waste a second of what little time I have left with her before we have to go back to the way things were.I remind myself it’s not forever.That in a few weeks, it will all be over.
That we’ll finally be able to be together.
It doesn’t make this any less difficult, though.
As I admire how peaceful Esme looks, especially since her nightmares haven’t plagued her this week, my phone buzzes on the nightstand.I’m about to silence it, figuring whatever it is can wait until the morning.
