“Strange,” I murmured. “Because it doesn’t feel weird tosay. It just feels…natural. I love you.” I even felt a smile bloom when I said it. Glancing around her face, I added, “I love your eyes, and your nose and your mouth and your cheekbones. I love your hair. Your collarbone. And this little freckle on your shoulder, right here.”
When I leaned down to kiss it, I lingered by her neck and breathed her in. When she shuddered in appreciation, I dragged my nose from her shoulder back to her neck. “I love your smell. And how responsive you are to me.”
I dotted light kisses down her throat and toward her chest, shedding her tank top as I went. “Ireallylove how responsive you are to me.” Licking my lips as I watched her nipples harden, I felt the need to lean in and lick them, one at a time.
She sucked in a breath and arched, gripping my hair as I feasted.
When I paused to peel off her shorts and panties, I grinned up at her. “I love that you seem to love sex with me as much as I love it with you.”
She reached out and caught the waistline of my underwear to tug them down.
Once they were out of our way, I pressed back between her thighs and looked up into her face. “I love the look on your face when I first enter you.” And as I started to do just that, I grinned at her expression. “Like you can’t get enough of me.” Then I leaned down and lightly kissed her lips. “And I love feeling connected to you. When you finally confessed your crush to me…” I shivered and began to move, slow and languidly. “I don’t think I’ve ever felt closer to anyone before. Never felt so…honored.”
“Luke,” she said, shaking her head. “You don’t have to—”
But I cut her off and kept talking. “I love how you’re tough and stubborn and make me work for it sometimes. Just as much as I love it when you let me take care of you too. I love your sass and your edges and all the soft, squishy parts in between. I just love you, Chloe Ryan, as you are now and whatever way you become later. Because you’re you.”
Tears glittered in her eyes as she looked up at me.
“And one of these days,” I finished. “I’m going to love you hard enough that you won’t be able tohelpbut finally love me back.”
As I pushed a little deeper and moved a little faster, she sucked in a breath and looked pulled into the sensations before shaking her head and blinking up at me. “Damn you, Luke Hamilton. But I neverstoppedloving you. Not since I was fourteen, not even when I wanted to hate you.”
I kissed her and kissed her and kissed her. Our lips didn’t stop locking until we were both right there on the edge of coming, and only then did I break away to press my forehead to hers so I could say, “Thank you. Thank you for not giving up on me completely. I swear to God, I’m going to make it worth your wait. I’ll love you just the way you need.”
And then we both tumbled over the edge, into passion together.

“So what happens now?”
Chloe stretched against me as she asked the question, and her naked breasts stole my attention when they flattened against my chest. Glancing down at them, I reached for one and molded my fingers around it.
“I guess, whatever the hell we want to happen,” I said, lifting and squeezing slightly, thoroughly entertained by the warm malleable flesh. “I need to head to work at noon, and you probably still want to try to talk to your boss, since you got a little distracted from that task yesterday.”
Grinning as I remembered justhowshe’d been distracted, I waggled my brows and kept massaging that one boob with fixed determination.
“I meant relationship-wise,” she gritted out before nudging my shoulder and raising an eyebrow when I finally lifted my attention from her breast. “Do you really have to do that?”
“Play with your boobs? Yes, I really do,” I said and went back to watching my palm cup her. “And relationship-wise, we can be whatever you want us to be. Girlfriend, boyfriend, fiancé and fiancée, hell… We can run down to the courthouse right now and get married if you’d prefer. I just know what we have is exclusive and permanent. After that, you can call it whatever you’d like. But seriously, why would any chick bother with a stress ball when you have the ultimate anxiety reliever right here, sitting on the front of your chest? I can literally feel all my worries just drain away by doing this.”
“Uh, because groping yourself in public is considered inappropriate,” she said in a dry voice.
I snorted. “Fuck inappropriate. These things are the bomb. They’re just so damn soothing.” With a dreamy sigh, I laid my head on the pillow and smiled at her beautiful breasts as I continued to play with them. “I’d massage them all day long if I had my own.”
Chloe finally laughed and batted my hand away. “Oh my God. You’re too much. These stress balls are taking a shower now. So excuse us.”
“A shower?” I perked to attention and sat up when she did. “What a coincidence. I need to take a shower too. Maybe I should join you and supervise, make sure you clean my beautiful, bubbly stress ballsproperly.”
With a laugh, Chloe merely glanced over her shoulder at me as she slid off the mattress and started across the room. “You are so weird.”
Tumbling off the bed to hurry after her gorgeous, swaying backside, I shot back, “Well, you’re the one who’s been in love with me since you were fourteen. So apparently, youlikemy weird.”
She sent me a secretive smile, letting me know I wasn’t wrong, and then she stepped into the tub, where I hurried in after her and spent the majority of the shower paying attention to nothing but her breasts.
“That was kind of fun,” I announced as we were toweling off. “I think I’m going to focus solely on one body part every time we shower together. I wonder how long that would take me. I think your neck should be next. Or your pussy. Mmm, yeah… The pussy will have to be a repeat customer, maybe taking a turn every five showers or so…”
I was still talking about what order I wanted to go in as we dressed and moved to the kitchen to make some brunch together. I was so invested in my new project that I dug up a notepad and pen from one of her drawers and got to work.
