Page 59 of All I Want Is Love
Leo lies sprawled out on his back, his hand on my chest. I make sure to take it into mine and kiss his palm.
“I have never been fucked so thoroughly before,” Leo says.
I grin. “You really know how to boost a guy’s ego.”
“Man, and to imagine I wanted to ride your dick,” he mutters. “I wish I wasn’t as tired.”
Leo on top of me, riding my dick? That’s definitely something I want to see. “Well, there is always a second time.”
Leo smiles, entwining our fingers. “Yes,” he says. “I wish it could be right now, but after hiking for hours and then having a mental breakdown, I think my batteries are pretty empty.”
His stomach growls slightly. I turn to my side to look at him. “Let’s clean up and then finally eat something. Obviously, someone is hungry.”
“Don’t act like you aren’t hungry either!”
I kiss his forehead. “I am. I will swiftly take a bath and then prepare dinner. Take your time, babe.”

The walk down the mountain is so much faster than up. After dinner last night, Soren and I both dropped into bed and slept through the night. I can’t quite grasp all the things that happened. I told him my whole story, and he so easily accepted everything about me.
And the sex was awesome. I hope he is going to fuck me like that every night.
“We need to repeat this,” Soren says.
“Absolutely.” I toss a snowball for Barkley to chase. “Are you staying the night?”
He grins. “There is no way I am going to stay a night away from you from now on. Oh! And you haven’t seen my place yet. How about I pick you up tomorrow after work and we head there?”
“I’d love that!” I smile, feeling happy through and through. I can’t believe I came here all broken, just to find the man of my dreams. Also, I can’t believe how cheesy I sound, but I can’t help it. I have never felt so much at home as I do in this small town.
Thinking about the town reminds me of something. “Next weekend is the whole snowball fight competition and the fair, right?”
“Yes,” Soren grins. “Be prepared for the craziness. Each year it’s hilarious. Sometimes Robin even brings his ostrich. When he does, that bird usually randomly picks a fight with some buff guy yearly. Maybe it’s Robin’s flirting tactic?”
“Maybe,” I say warily, remembering my talk with Robin. I hope he is doing okay. I will make sure to give him a call today once I am back home. “Are you going to the fair?”
He smiles at me. “Well, I was hoping my hot boyfriend would be my date for it. So, will he?”
“Yes, he will.”
Obviously. It’s a no-brainer for me. There is no way I would want to miss this event, even more so when I can go with Soren. “Do you have work to do for the event?” Soren asks me. “You mentioned that the mayor contacted you.”
“Yes, I will meet with the man later today and discuss some ideas. I need to make some drafts soon.” I swallow slightly. I don’t need to use my graphic program; I can do it by hand.
“Will it be okay?” Soren asks quietly.
“I think it will,” I say. “After finally talking to you about everything, I feel a bit lighter. I… I am not hiding it anymore, and it makes it a bit easier, you know? Lessens the guilt.”
Soren looks thoughtful. “I think I get what you mean.”
The tone in his voice makes me curious. I can’t quite put my finger on it yet, but there is something. Soren talked about his ex last night, and Robin mentioned him too. I know there is more to it than I know.
I don’t want to pry too much, though, and decide to focus on something else. So I ask Soren to tell me about the silly snowball fight event, and the ridiculous dramas they have surrounding it every year. “How did that conflict even start? I mean, between East and West Sunhaven.”
“I have no idea,” he grins. “There are myths around it like some sort of Romeo and Juliet-ish story or two families that hated each other and then built a town each to show each other who is the best. But it’s been like that ever since I can remember.”
