“Would you, Luce?”

“No. I wouldn’t. But Springdale isn’t unknown to me anymore. You’re here, too.”

“I live in California, babe.”

“But you come here often?”

“I will more now that you’re here.” I glanced at my watch wishing I could slow time. “I need to ride back to the camp soon. The MC is heading home to Oakland tomorrow.”

She bit her lip. “Stay the night then? You could leave early in the morning?”

“I can’t. I’ve had a hard-on for the last hour, at least. I wanna do this right with you, babe. If I stay—we both know what will happen. And I want you to trust that I want more than that.”

“Don’t go. I still haven’t finished asking my questions.”

I brushed a finger down the side of her cheek. “Someday. Someday I’ll stay forever.” I kissed her in the fading sun. When I opened my eyes, fireflies danced in the air. The end of summer is still full of blooming romance. I just never bothered to notice before now. Before her.

I grabbed her cell from the table next to us and handed it to her. “Unlock it so I can put in all my numbers.” She did, and I hid a grin as I entered my info under my first name. Everyone calls me by my last name of Smith. Hell, no one even wonders what my first is.

“Lucas.”

“Yes, love?”

“Nothing. I just wanted to say it.”

My cock hardened even more. I knew there would come a day very soon, when she’d say it just like that as I thrust into her.
