“They’re hardly pointless.”
He grunted. “It doesn’t seem like a good balance somehow.”
“Hmm.”
He tipped his head to glance down at her, intrigued by her tone. “What?”
She kissed the underside of his chin once, twice, three times. As though she wanted to do that all day. “I think you already know what kind of important and significant thing you want to do.”
He liked the way she curled around him and nestled in, his girlfriend. It gave him…ideas. “This meaningful and important thing, might it involve your tongue and a gallon of peanut butter?”
She smacked him, but gently. “Quit retreating.”
“I’m not.”
“You are. You know what it is, this other thing you want to do. If you’ve dreamed of it, you know what it is.”
Heat rose in his cheeks. “I do. But…”
“But what?”
“I’m embarrassed to say.”
“So it does involve peanut butter…”
He couldn’t help but laugh. “No. It’s writing. But…” He dipped his head, unable to look her in the eye. “I think I would like to try writing a novel.”
When she didn’t laugh, he peeped at her.
She wasn’t staring at him bug-eyed, which was encouraging, so he looked her full on.
And when she smiled and said, in a very serious tone, “Devlin, I think that would be wonderful,” he knew—simply knew—she was the one for him.
And he was the one for her.
Forever.
He pulled her close for a kiss. When it ended, they were both breathless.
“God, Devlin,” she sighed, nuzzling deeper into his embrace.
He stroked her back. “I know.”
“It just feels so…right.”
“I know.”
She peeped up at him, her adorable face wreathed in worry. “I’m scared.”
He pressed his lips to her forehead. “I know. But I’m here. We’ll work through all of it together. Okay?”
Even though she nodded, she nibbled her lower lip, the tell for her hidden doubt. She fixated on his chin, riffling his scruff with her fingers. She pressed a little kiss on the underside. “I don’t know what I would do if…”
Yeah. He knew what she was thinking. If they didn’t work out. “That’s not going to happen.” Not if he had a damn thing to say about it. “We’re gonna be great, Tara. We’re gonna be awesome. Forever.”
He didn’t intend for that last little word to escape, but it did. He stilled, studied her, gauging her response.
That it was a smile, a rapturous smile, filled his heart with joy.
“Forever?” An awestruck whisper, as though she’d never dared contemplate such a thing.
“Yup. As long as you want me, I’ll be here. You’re stuck with me.”
Her tentative demeanor became certain. And mischievous. “Oh, I’ll probably want you for a while.”
“I’m gratified.”
“At least twenty years or so.” She shifted, deliberately. His cock stirred.
“O-only twenty?”
She shrugged. “Maybe more.”
“Hmm. That many years… Seems like a challenge.”
The glint in her eye set his blood aflame. “Do you think you can handle it?”
“Maybe.”
She wiggled on his lap.
Or…maybe not. At least, not without tipping her, ass over elbows, and sinking deep.
“Well, Devlin Fox,” she quipped, slipping off his lap and onto her knees before him. “I dare you to try.”
