“It’s a good idea. I promise,” he assures me.
“Uh-huh.”
I roll over onto my side, propping my head up on my hand, and Remington does the same. The sheet pools down at his waist, and my eyes stray to his chest, my mouth watering at the sight of all of his bare skin on display. His muscles shift, bunching and retracting as he moves closer to me.
I reach out, running my hands over his pecs, and I can feel his heart racing underneath my palm. I glance up at him, wondering why he seems so nervous all of a sudden.
“Lucy, I love you,” Remington says, and my stomach drops like I’m on a rollercoaster.
“I…” I open my mouth and freeze.
I love him too,I realize.
“I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. I never wanted a girlfriend or anything, but then I saw you.”
“Isn’t this happening a little fast?” I blurt out.
That’s the only thought in my head. Sure, I’ve never felt this way about anyone before either, but… isn’t this happening too quickly?
“Aren’t we moving too fast?” I ask again, pulling my hand away from his chest.
“No,” he says simply, and I roll my eyes.
“You would say that. You’re crazy.”
“Crazy about you,” he retorts, and I laugh.
“You’re smooth; I’ll give you that.”
“I know what I want,” Remi says more seriously. “And I want you. I have since I saw you. I don’t have anything else in my life figured out. I don’t know where I’m going to live after I sell my mom’s house. I don’t know what I want to do as a career. I don’t know anything, but I do know that I want you. Ineedyou,” he corrects.
My heart is beating out of control, and my tongue is all tied up. This is a pretty big leap of faith. This is me putting my heart into his hands and praying that he doesn’t break it.
Do I trust him enough to do that?
“I want you to move in with me,” Remington says, and my mouth drops open.
“We’ve been together for like a week! We can’t move in together. That’s way too soon!” I argue, and he just smiles.
“Let’s try this again,” he starts, and I’m reminded of the first time he asked me out. “We’re going to be moving in together.”
“Remi,” I start, and he shakes his head.
“I can’t imagine my life without you, and I don’t want to. I want to spend every moment I can with the woman I love, and I know that deep down, she wants that too.”
I shake my head, but I’m smiling like a loon at him.
“What if we break up?”
“We won’t. Ever,” he promises me.
“You can’t know that.”
“I do. I’m psychic.”
I laugh and relax against his side.
“I love you, Lucy,” he murmurs, his deep, gravelly voice blanketing me in warmth and safety. “I’m sure about our future. Just trust me, and I promise that everything is going to work out. I’m never going to hurt you or let you down. I promise.”
