“Of course I’m not,” he says as he brings his free hand up to cup my cheek. “How could I be mad that the girl of my dreams has been going out of her way to keep me company without my knowing? The only thing I’m even a little upset about is that you didn’t come to me sooner.”

“I was afraid you’d reject me,” I say, feeling tears spring to my eyes. “I was so scared, Dax. I didn’t want you to know about me because that could mean you’d get rid of me.”

“I couldneverreject you, Chloe,” Dax says before he dives in and captures my lips in a searing kiss.

It takes my breath away, and my toes curl in my shoes at the sensation. He swipes his tongue along my bottom lip before he pulls away so he can nip at the swell of it. I grab onto his shoulders to steady myself, and he grips my hips hard. It feels like he’s afraid that I’ll disappear if he doesn’t keep his hands on me.

“I always want you,” he says, his voice deep with lust as he rests our foreheads together. “And I don’t ever want you thinking otherwise. I love you. Chloe, I love you more than I’ve ever loved anyone else. Actually, now that I know what loving you feels like, I don’t think I’ve loved anyone before I met you.”

“I love you, too,” I say, feeling the tears that have been blurring my vision starting to fall. “I’ve only ever loved you, and I’m never going to love anyone else.”

“Good,” he says, his fingers threading through the hair at the nape of my neck. “Because you’re mine. I don’t ever want you even thinking about anyone else. I’m going to take such good care of you, Chloe.”

I don’t get a chance to respond. His mouth is against mine again, something desperate and promising in the way that he moves his lips. I’m sure that my kiss feels the exact same. This is our promise to each other, a promise that now that we’ve been united, we won’t stray – not that either of us would ever dream of doing so.

“Let me take care of you,” he says when the two of us part for air.

“Okay,” I agree, waiting for him to kiss me again.

Only, he doesn’t. Instead, his hands find the waistband of my pants as he says, “You’d let me take you right here, wouldn’t you?”

“Yes,” I agree, a sharp thrill running through my body at the implication. “Yes, Dax. Please.”

With that, he chuckles darkly and leans back in. I groan into the kiss, feeling myself get wet. Anticipation thrums through me as Dax slowly slides his thumbs against my hip bones. He’s driving me crazy, and I know he’s only going to drive me crazier.

Chapter Eight

Dax

With Chloe’s permission explicit, I pull her onto my lap, the angle allowing me easier entry to her mouth. I explore the warm wetness with my tongue, shocks of pleasure zipping through me each time she makes a satisfied noise. She’s so sexy, so desirable, that I’m already hard in my pants. I need her so badly.

She pulls back, sucking down breaths of air. She’s beautiful like this, her face flushed with lust. With the view of Blackwood Falls behind her, I find myself longing to take a picture so I can remember this moment forever.

I’ve finally found the woman that I’ll be spending the rest of my life with, and I’m so full of affection that it threatens to spill over. I don’t consider myself a sappy guy, but I’m teetering on the edge of becoming one for Chloe. I want to give her everything she deserves, to take good care of, to provide her with everything she needs or wants.

“I love you,” I say again, grinding up against her ass. “And I need you so bad.”

“I need you, too,” she replies, resuming the motion of her hips. ”I love you, Dax. I’m so glad you came looking for me.”

“I’ll always come looking for you,” I promise her, kissing her neck, leaving a trail all the way down the column of it. WhenI get to her collarbone I start to suck a hickey onto her neck. “Just don’t make me do it again. You don’t have to be scared of me, Chloe.”

“I thought–” she begins, her voice getting cut off by a soft moan. “I thought you’d be scared of me. I was just… I was just some weird teenager who saw you once and let her curiosity get the better of her. All of my friends thought I was weird. I was sure that you’d think I was too. I thought if you knew, I’d scare you off and never get to see you again.”

“Never, Chloe,” I assure her as I reach for the button of her jeans. “I’ll never be scared of you. In fact, I like that you were watching me. Looking back on it, if I were to have caught you, I would have taken you right there.”

“Dax–”

“I’m going to take you right now,” I continue, standing up and settling her feet on the ground. Then, after giving her a quick kiss, I say, “And you’re going to enjoy the view while I do.”

“Please,” she sighs, giggling as I lead her to the other side of the bench we were sitting on.

Before turning her around, I open the front of her pants and start pushing them down. Then, with a firm grip on her bicep, I spin her so she’s looking out over the town. I shift my grip to her jeans, pulling them and her underwear down, exposing her ass.

“Fuck, you’re so perfect, Chloe,” I say, swiping my fingers through her wetness. “And you’re so wet for me already.”

“Please, Dax,” she says, arching her back as though she’s trying to entice me in.

And god, it works.
