“Cowgirls” by Morgan Wallen comes on and I blast it feeling like it’s talking about my cowgirl in particular.
I head to the corner of West and Main and smile when I see Natalie hop out of Ashley’s car and open the door to my truck.
I guess my thoughts were off. Seeing her makes me happier than the music does.
I lean over to kiss her. She stiffens instantly as she looks around to check if anyone can see us.
I pull back and put the truck in drive. “Are you that afraid of being seen with me?” I ask out of frustration with my family more than her, but really, it’s this entire situation.
Her expression says it all—she is.
I drive to the lake by Mason Creek and park facing the water away from where everyone is setting up for a day in the water.
“Is this private enough?” I don’t hide my disdain.
She reaches for my hand. “You have to understand how upset my dad would be.”
In the moment, I can’t hold back, so I turn to her and say, “Then, why are we doing this? We can’t hide forever.”
She looks forward, closes her eyes, and takes a deep breath. “I know. I’ll figure it out.” She takes off her seat belt and slides across the seat so she’s right next to me. “I want to be with you though.”
She kisses my lips, and I’m a sucker for her touch, so I kiss her back. My frustration softens, but not enough to make me fully content. I just hate that she puts so much emphasis on her family.
“Please,” she whispers when she sees I’m holding back some. “Please just be with me right now.”
I look into her eyes, loving what I’m seeing, then realize, “Is this what you’re feeling?” She looks at me confused so I continue, “I want to be with you, out in the open, for everyone to know, and it makes me so mad we can’t.”
Her mouth turns slightly down in a frown as she closes her eyes and drops her head to her chest. I place my finger under her chin and bring her line of sight back to me.
“But I can’t stop this. I don’t want to be anywhere but with you.”
Her eyes don’t lie. The way she looks at me with so much love, hurt, desire and her true soul pouring out all of her emotions directly into my heart is all I need to know.
I place my palm on her cheek. “We’ll figure this out.”
She grabs my hand, holding it to her face, and nods.
I lean in to kiss her feeling like we just brought our relationship to an even higher level and wanting to solidify it with a kiss so deep and true it makes me want to rip my heart out and give it to only her.
I nudge her ever so slightly back and she goeswillingly. We scoot as one until she’s on her back with me towering over her across the bench seat of my truck.
Running my hand down the side of her neck, along her arms and then at the bottom of her shirt sends visible chills throughout her body. I know she wants this as bad as I do, and I can hardly contain myself for what she does to me.
I slide my hand up her shirt, feeling her soft skin against my rough hands. Moving around to her back, I grip her firmly, bringing her even closer to me, but I still can’t get enough. I hope she can tell what she’s doing to me because, fuck, I’ve never been so turned on and it’s only for her.
“Dalton,” she says my name in a plea and it damn near kills me just by the sound because I’ve never heard something so beautiful in my entire life.
“I’m here, baby. I’m not going anywhere,” I whisper never meaning my words more than I do right now.
Just as I grip her breast, feeling like I might lose myself all together, a kid screams out, “Mom, can we play over here?”
We both freeze, reality washing over us like a cold bucket of ice water thrown on us when we realize just how public of a place we are in and it’s not even eleven in the morning.
I drop my head on her shoulder as she laughs.
“Maybe we should,” I grit out with my head buried in her hair, not wanting to finish that statement.
She laughs as she places her hands on my back. “Yeah, maybe we should.”
