Chapter Eight

Scott

I love you, I love you, I love you.

Ava’s words ring in my ears as I push her back on the blanket, hovering over her as she mutters again, “I love you, Scott. You’re the only one for me.”

“You’re mine. Forever,” I say, before meeting her lips in a fiery kiss. Before I know it, we’re peeling off each other’s clothes, ready to prove our love to each other—like we’ve been doing since the very beginning.

Once our layers are off, I don’t waste a second before I sink into Ava, desperate to feel her wet warmth around me. She takes my length easily, meeting me thrust for thrust as I tenderly push into her.

“It feels so good, Scott. Better than ever,” she says, reaching up and lightly biting my earlobe. The sting of pain makes me wild and I absolutely unleash on her.

“Ohhhhh my god,” she says as I pound into her, lowering my mouth to her breast and sucking a pert pink nipple in my mouth, swirling my tongue in a way that I know makes her crazy. I move a thumb to her clit, pressing the sensitive bud and finally pushing her over the edge. She screams as she comes apart around my cock and the sound seems to echo for miles. Good. Iwant this whole town, this whole world, really, to know that this beautiful, perfect woman is mine.

“Good job, honey. But I think you can give me one more,” I say.

She shakes her head, “I can’t, I can’t,” she gasps out.

“You can. You will.” I pull out of her. “Get on all fours,” I demand, pulling her up. She does as she’s told, going on her hands a knees before me. I fist my cock at the sight of her plump, perfect ass lifted for me, pussy dripping with her release.

She wiggles back towards me. “Pretty eager for someone who told me she couldn’t give me another,” I say. She looks back at me with nothing but heat in her eyes, eyeing my dick in a way that somehow makes me even harder.

“Get back inside me, Scott,” she says, no patience left in her voice.

Without another word, I seat myself fully inside of her with one long thrust. She gasps at the pressure and I look around, thinking I must be in heaven. The love of my life wrapped around me in the mountains, what more could I ever want?

I instantly pick up my pace, not sure how long I’ll be able to hold back. Ava is close, I can feel her wetness pooling around my length and I’m desperate to fill her once again. We fall into a rhythm so intense, Ava nearly collapses with pleasure as she comes apart. I pull her forward, shifting to my lap and gripping her hips as I pound into her. I feel myself explode inside of her and we both fall to the side, overcome with pleasure.

I slip out of Ava, instantly craving her warmth once again. She puts an arm over her eyes and laughs.

“Good god, do you think it’ll be like that forever?” she asks.

“I sure hope so, honey,” I say, pressing a kiss to her arm before moving it off her face. “I love you,” I say again, staring into the depths of her eyes. They sparkle in return. “I love you too,” she says.This is definitely heaven.

After we’ve dressed again, we begin exploring the meadow, wandering around for hours, searching for potential signs of the fern Ava has been looking for. We’re in different plant patches and I look to Ava, struck again by how beautiful she looks out in nature, chestnut hair pulled into a high ponytail, notebook and pencil in hand as she studies the plants around her. There’s nothing like seeing her in her element.

Just as I’m about to shout to her that we should head out soon since we want to get back before sunset, I spot something that looks suspiciously like the fern she showed me back at her cabin. It’s on the exterior of the area I’m standing in, guarded by the shadow of dozens of wildflowers. I don’t want to get her hopes up, but I also don’t want her to miss her chance.

“Hey, Ave!” I shout, she quickly turns to me, face piqued with interest. “I think I found something!” She drops the leaf she was holding and runs over to me. I point to the wall of wildflowers, “See what’s behind there?” I ask.

She hunches down, peering into the patch. She looks up at me, eyes wide. “Scott, I think that’s it!”

“Well, walk over there and find out,” I pull her up and send her off with a light slap on her butt before following after her.

“Oh my god,” she says when she gets to it, pulling apart a section of the flowers and fingering one of the leaves of the fern. “It’s the one I was looking for!” She jumps up and squeals, turning to kiss me before running off to grab her notebook and camera.

“I can’t believe you found it before me,” she says with a laugh. “This is going to massively accelerate my research, I’ll be Dr. Winters in no time.”

I grin back at her. “Anything for you, baby. Maybe you can be Dr. Thomas instead,” I say with a wink. She just waves me off before turning back to her fern.

Little does she know, I’m dead serious.
