I am full when we’re done with dinner, but I wouldn’t want to spend time with anyone else. It feels like we just arrived at the restaurant, but it’s been an hour and a half by the time he’s leading me out the door. I should probably feel badly about staying at our table so long, but with Lincoln as my company, I can’t bring myself to.
I think he’s going to lead me to his truck, but instead he laces his fingers with mine and nods towards the street where I can see a small park in the distance, the trees lining the sidewalk still wrapped in twinkle lights. It looks like a special place, making my heart skip a beat.
I don’t care where we go, I’ll always follow him.
I wrap my body around his arm, our hands still holding onto each other. I look up at Lincoln and wink, “Wherever you want to go, Big Daddy.”
The way his eyes light up tells me he understands I mean more than simply where he wants to lead me tonight. He knows I’m in this with him. My life can only be richer because of it.
The winter wind whips around us, but I hardly notice it. It does nothing to penetrate the warm cocoon being with my man wraps me in. His body is so big and warm, I’m pretty sure he could shelter me from anything Mother Nature wanted to throw our way.
When we get to the small park, the lights dance around us as if putting on a show only we can see. It feels like I’m not standing in Denver anymore; instead, we are in our own little world, where nothing bad can penetrate. We exist in the good, in the moments in between where you can breathe deeply and find a sense of peace.
Lincoln stops suddenly and turns toward me, and I find myself looking up at him. I search his face, but he’s not giving anything away. My voice is soft, not wanting to break the magic surrounding us, “What’s up, Lincoln?” Panic races through me for a moment. What if this is where he breaks my heart? He wouldn’t do that surrounded by such beauty, would he? “Is everything okay?”
Lincoln’s lips, the ones I love to kiss so much, break out into a wide smile before he kisses my forehead. The act puts me at ease instantly. His voice against my skin makes me shiver, “Everything is fine, Little Bit.” He pulls back and looks down at me. When we’re like this, I’m always reminded at how big he is and how he makes me feel delicate. He takes a deep breath, “I wanted to talk to you about something really important?”
I swallow hard and pull my thoughts back from the naughty ones which always try and take over when we’re together. It’s not my fault I want him to have his way with me all the time. He’s too sexy to not have such thoughts about. The only thing keeping me from spiraling into how wet he makes me is a note of vulnerability in his voice, which is totally at odds with everything Lincoln.
“I’m all ears,” I keep my voice light, hoping it works.
Lincoln smiles at me and pulls me in close. I expect him to kiss my forehead, but he doesn’t. Instead, he stares into my eyes. “I love you, Willow.”
I gasp at his words, and I feel my eyes well up with tears. “I love you too, Big Daddy,” I blurt and then almost face palm myself. I swallow hard and my voice comes out as a whisper, “I mean, I love you, Lincoln.”
His blue eyes widen and the lights on the trees around us seem to catch there, making it look like they sparkle. I didn’t think there was any distance between us, but he manages to pull me even closer. His voice is gruff, “I like it when you call me ‘Big Daddy’.”
I giggle and stretch onto my tip toes, making it so I can wrap my arms around his neck. Barely. I can’t help but stare at his lips, they’re so damn kissable. “I think you’re supposed to seal a declaration like this one with a kiss,” I tease him.
He doesn’t make me wait, his lips find mine, pulled to me like a magnet. It’s been there from the moment I first saw him. I was drawn to him then and I find the feeling has only grown with every moment we’ve spent with each other.
This kiss isn’t sweet. It’s deep and long, built on passion. I cling to his shoulders as the feeling of being swept up in it threatens to pull me out in the riptide. I know he won’t let me drown in it. Or, if he does, he’ll be right there next to me.
When he pulls back from me, we’re both panting and staring at each other with goofy grins on our faces.
“I have one more question for you, Willow,” the weight of his voice settles around me and I can’t do anything other than swallow hard and nod. “Will you move in with me?”
I let out a squeal and then I’m pulling him down to me, kissing him hard. I don’t think he needs me to say yes. He can feel it. Shocking me, he dips me before our laughter fills the space around us.
He’s big and tough and all mine. All mine.
CHAPTER 6
LINCOLN
I didn’t waste time two months ago when I asked Willow to move in with me. The following morning, I woke her up with my mouth on her pussy, excited to get her apartment all packed up and to have her in our home. I figured it was the best way to her wake up.
She certainly seemed to enjoy it.
Willow didn’t have much stuff and her large furniture wasn’t something we needed to move right away. I couldn’t wait to get her clothes and all her girlie things in the house, though. Not for another day.
It had almost killed me waiting as long as I did. I knew I wanted Willow from the first moment her leg extended out of her ride the night she came to Aces. I think I showed tremendous restraint in not moving her in the next day when she woke up.
I’m glad I waited. Hearing her tell me she loves me was worth waiting for. It had almost slipped out so many times, but I held it back in fear of scaring her off. Then there was the fear she’d try and brush it off and chalk it up to some sort of life crisis and I was clinging to her because of my age.
I wouldn’t of had the thought, but the small grain of rice sized piece of doubt was lodged into my brain by Lawson not long after he met Willow for the first time. He called me the next day and had his super serious older by three minutes big brother voice on. “Are you sure about this woman?”
My hackles immediately raised because it doesn’t matter who is saying it, I’m never going to lay down when someone is questioning me, my woman or what exists between us. No fucking way. I may have shared a womb with Lawson, but she was the other half of me, and nothing is ever going to stand in the way of us.
