“Don’t worry. I’ve heard some of the guys snore. The little noises you make wouldn’t even register compared to them.”
“For some reason, that doesn’t make me feel better.” I shrugged my coat onto my shoulders. I’d left my phone in the pocket and it buzzed against my hip. I pulled it out to check the time and realized I had several texts and a couple of missed voice mails from my boss back in London.
“Everything okay?” Nate asked.
“Yeah.” I rose to my tiptoes and planted a kiss on his full lips. “Let’s go.”
CHAPTER15
NATE
I knewsomething was bothering Ainsely the moment we got in the truck, though she denied it. After everything we’d been through over the course of the evening, I figured I’d let it go until morning. She was exhausted, and all I wanted to do was wrap my big body around hers and hold her close. I’d done my best to convince her Sheriff Cade would get to the bottom of what was happening, but I’d been putting up a front.
The truth was, I had more confidence in my fellow Mustang Mountain Riders than I did local law enforcement. But I was heartsick at the idea of leaving, especially when they needed me most.
I tossed and turned all night long. Sleep completely evaded me, and by the time the hazy rays of the sun started to peek over the mountain, I still hadn’t found peace. The only thing I knew with any certainty was that I couldn’t let Ainsley go.
She’d found her way back to me once. There was no guarantee that if I stayed back in Montana, we’d ever get another chance at a future together. I’d done what I thought was the right thing before, and it had almost killed me. As much as I needed to stay in Mustang Mountain to protect the people and land I loved, I had to follow my heart. Ainsley was my life now.
“How are you feeling this morning?” I asked. She’d just opened her eyes.
“I’m okay. How are you?”
I pulled her close, my cock already going hard as her soft skin brushed against me. We’d slept in the buff together the past few nights, and I seemed to wake up every morning eager to get lost inside her.
“You feel more than okay to me.” Her shy smile warmed my heart. Then she reached between us and wrapped her hand around my cock. “Is it always going to be like this between us? I feel like I can never get enough of you.”
“We’ve got a lot of time to make up for.” I rolled her onto her back and slipped a finger between her legs. “Damn girl. You’re already soaking wet.”
The most adorable shade of pink flushed her cheeks. “I dreamed about you last night. It was a really good dream.”
“Feels like it. Show me.”
She spread her legs and angled her hips to take me. We didn’t have anywhere to be, so I took my time making love to her as slowly as I could handle. Life was so bittersweet. Being with Ainsley felt like finally coming home, but staying with her meant leaving the home I’d made for myself over the past eight years.
I could feel her climax gathering by the way the walls of her pussy clenched around me. “Come for me, Firefly.”
Her nails dug into my shoulders as she lost control. I let myself go the second she started to come down. After, I held her, slowly tracing the faint pattern of freckles across her chest. “I love you, Ainsley.”
“I love you, too.” The honesty in her eyes shone through bright and clear. I’d be the dumbest man alive to let her walk away again.
“I’m so sorry for letting you go before. I was just doing what I thought was best for you.”
“You’re what’s best for me.” She cupped my cheeks in her hands. “You believe that now, don’t you?”
Nodding, I leaned forward to kiss her. That’s when her phone rang. It had been chiming all morning, but she’d ignored it.
“Do you need to get that?” I asked.
She groaned and reached for it on the nightstand. “It’s my boss again. I’m on vacation.”
“If you want to take it, it’s okay with me.” As long as she didn’t plan on leaving my arms, I didn’t care what she did.
A low groan rumbled from her lips. “I’m sorry. This will only take a minute.”
I pulled her close as she answered. The man on the other end of the call started talking immediately. I could hear his clipped British accent through the phone, and was able to make out every other word.
Ainsley didn’t say much, just punctuated the conversation with a “yes” or “I see” every so often. Her expression didn’t change as her boss said something about needing her back as soon as possible. Something about new stores opening soon. I swear I heard him mention Egypt, but I could have been mistaken. By the time she hung up, every muscle in her body had gone taut.
