We get in and I pull her close to me. “Can I ask you a question?”

She nods. “Anything.”

“What ended up happening with the farm? I mean with your dad’s court case,” I mutter. “I know it’s not my business but. . .”

“It’s fine Cade. Daddy settled out of court. We have three hundred thousand to pay in penalties to the state and another two hundred thousand to pay for upgrades to our wastemanagement system. Daddy doesn’t have the money. We’re thinking of selling most of the animals and closing the dairy to pay the penalty.”

“Seriously? But you love the farm so much. What will your dad do?” I ask.

“At Daddy’s age there aren’t a whole lot of options, but I’m sure he can find a job working on one of the farms in the area. At least Mom has agreed to keep the house because, at first, she wanted it sold.”

My stomach is twisting. Annie and her dad love the farm and the animals. “I wish there was something I could do to help.”

“Cade, you’re very sweet. Daddy has been looking into getting a second mortgage. He just hasn’t found a bank that’ll approve him. But we have until the end of May, so we’re hoping for some sort of miracle or the animals will have to go.”

“Does that mean Sally too?” I ask. “I have a love-fear relationship with her, but I wouldn’t want to see her go.”

“Not Sally, she’d be a keeper and Norman too,” Annie states.

“I don’t know why but that doesn’t seem like enough,” I say, blowing out a breath. I was suddenly distracted from the reason I was out here because Annie’s family could lose everything.

“Cade.” She places her palm on my cheek and guides me to look at her. “We are sitting in this amazing hot tub, with a great view, and we’re all alone. I thought you had other plans for me.”

She straddles my hips underwater. “Yes, I wanted to show you how you took my breath away,” I say, refocusing.

She wraps her hand around my cock and pumps a few times as I lean up and seal our lips together. “I’ll never get sick of kissing you.” I know it is something she needs to hear because of her comment back at the farm that her parents were once in love and grew apart.

“I love kissing you too. But how do we know if we can weather the storm that’s coming for us? Both of our lives aregoing to change drastically. You don’t know which team is going to sign you, and I don’t know which veterinary school I’ll be accepted to. We could be on opposite ends of the country.”

“There is no place that will keep me away from you, Annie.” I reach down and rub her clit with my fingers. I move in a slow circular motion that has her building fast. At this point, I know what my girl likes. I know how to get her there.

She moans, “I need you inside me, Cade.”

She reaches down and guides my cock inside her. I hold her hips, helping her thrust inside the water. We are both hungry for each other. I know that isn’t going to change. She rides me hard and fast.

We grunt and groan together. There are no neighbors close enough to worry about. It is just Annie and me under a starlit sky. She comes apart on my cock. I follow her over the edge, taking in her bouncing tits that look so sexy. I grab hold of them and tweak her nipples. Her head falls back, lost to the sensation, as she humps my cock like it is nobody’s business.

“I love you, Annie.”

“I love you too, Cade.”

But I know this isn’t enough. We are headed back to real life tomorrow at school. Our schedules will be busy until the end of the semester. I’m hoping to sign a contract before the draft and Annie won’t find out which graduate program she is accepted to until May. I somehow need to prove to her our love is the kind that lasts. We aren’t our parents; we are Cade and Annie. A love like ours is once in a lifetime.

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

Annie

Returning back to campus after break is always a busy time. With Cade and I both graduating, it feels like a clock is ticking. The team made it into the Frozen Four competition. They are gearing up, which means more practices and time in the media room studying game play, or whatever it is that Cade calls it. We haven’t seen each other since he left for a weekend game on Friday afternoon. It is now Thursday. I came over to the hockey house because Cade got pizza. We are going to hang out before he has to leave again tomorrow afternoon.

“I think you should move in here until the end of the semester, and before you protest, it really does make sense. I will have you in my bed every night. When I’m out of town, you still have Ruby and Charlie staying here with you, and that’s so much better than your shitty roommates.”

Everything he said is true and sleeping in the same bed every night is a huge bonus.

“Okay,” I reply. It is an easy decision.

“Okay?” he cheers, clearly surprised I conceded so easily.

“Yes, you’re right. It makes sense,” I agree.
