We’re both smiling from ear to ear. We have been all day.
I love holding her and looking into her blue eyes. Her naked flesh pressed to mine. This is undoubtedly the most intimate moment of my life. I wish we could stay stuck up here forever.
I run my thumb over her lips, loving that they’re red and raw from my countless kisses. “You’re a hot fuck, Gully Sulley.”
She bursts into laughter. “Your dick should have its own zip code, Vile Vance.”
I rub it against her as it begins to harden again. She lets out a groan. “Ahh. Oh my god. You’re a machine. I am well and truly McCaffed for the evening.”
“Wimp,” I joke.
She smiles as we stare at each other. “Is it always like this for you?”
“Like what?” I ask.
She lifts an eyebrow. “So good. Life-changing good. Body lifting into orbit good.”
I shake my head. “Today has undoubtedly been the best sex of my life. Anything else has not even been close.”
She rolls her eyes. “Yeah, right.”
“I’m serious, Sulley. It’s never been like this for me. I’ve never cared about a woman the way I care about you.”
She rubs her fingertips over my scruff. “Don’t you date?”
I shrug. “Now and then. I’m not like Daylen or some of the other guys. I don’t go home with random women all the time. When I have an itch, I scratch it. It’s about physical needs. Nothing else. No one has ever felt like home to me.”
Her face falls. “That’s kind of sad.”
I sigh. “I feel like I’ve been sad for six years.”
She nods in understanding. I can tell she wants to ask more, but we agreed to shelve the heavy. She traces my lips with her fingers. “I wish you smiled more. It lights up the room.”
I run my hands all over her soft, bare back. “I’ll smile more if you spend time with me.”
She turns her head away and exhales a long breath. “You know I can’t. There’s too much hurt. Too much history.” She rolls and snuggles her back into my front. “Let’s just enjoy our time up here before we have to go back to reality.”
She doesn’t need to say it out loud for me to know whatreality means. I betrayed her brother in the worst way possible. She’ll never be able to move on from that.
I peelmy eyes open to the morning sunlight and the familiar beeping sounds of a truck moving in reverse. My body is wrapped around Sulley’s. Yesterday really did happen.
The front door of the cabin opens in a rush, and I have to squint with the bright light shining through. I see my father’s imposing figure standing there. He breathes a sigh of relief. “Oh, thank god. The whole town has been worried about you two. Fuck, Vance, when I found your truck in the middle of the road, I nearly had a heart attack fearing the worst.”
I croak out, “We had no reception. We were stuck in here.”
He nods in understanding as he begins to assess the scene. His chin drops when he takes in the fact that Sulley and I are cuddled up together, obviously naked, under the blankets. Mercifully, she’s still sound asleep. My body and the blankets mostly cover hers.
He immediately averts his gaze and turns toward the door. “I…umm…I’m going to clear off Sulley’s car. I left Billy to work on yours, and Dutch is plowing. Why don’t you two get dressed and come outside whenever you’re ready?”
Billy and Dutch are young guys who work for my father on the ranch.
“Yes, sir. Give us a few minutes.”
He leaves and closes the door behind him. I kiss along Sulley’s neck. “Time to wake up, princess. We’ve been rescued. Sadly.”
With her eyes still closed, she says, “I’m up. I needed to spare myself further embarrassment by pretending to be asleep.” She covers her eyes with her hand. “Oh my god, everyone is going to know what we’ve been up to. I’ll be the town whore.”
I chuckle. “My dad would never in a million years say anything. The last thing anyone in this town thinks about you is that you’re a whore. You’re the town hero.”
