“I love you,” I breathed. “We should probably get back out there before people start to wonder where we are.”

“Okay, but I have a surprise for you tomorrow.”

“A surprise?” My brows furrowed. “But the show—”

“Stop worrying.” He dropped a kiss on my head. “Everything’s going to be okay, Sofe,” he added with a smile.

My heart fluttered at his words.

His promise.

Because this time, I knew he was right.

Cole

“God, Cole… that’s… ah,” Sofia cried out as I circled my hips, lifting her thigh to change the angle and go deeper.

“You feel so fucking good, Sofe.” My lips dropped to her neck, licking and sucking. Branding and taking her.

It was a rare occasion when the Bennet house was empty, but whenever it was, we liked to make the most of it. If Sofia felt too tired for sex, we got naked and cuddled in bed and watched a movie while my hands mapped every inch of her skin. But when she was having a good day—and they were happening more and more lately—we used the time to love each other.

Sometimes it was quick and hard and fast, both of us desperate for the connection, the release. But other times, like right now, it was unhurried and intense. Until we were a breathless, sated heap.

“More,” she cried, lifting her hips to meet my slow, lazy thrusts.

I kissed the base of her throat, licking up her jaw and plunging my tongue into her mouth. She was close. I’d learned her body, what she liked and the little signs she was about to come. Like the flush to her skin, the way her voice became stilted and choppy. How her pussy gripped me so tightly I had no choice but to follow her over the edge.

“Cole, God…God.” She yanked me down, kissing me back harder as her body began to ripple beneath me.

“Fuck, Sofe, you’re so tight.” I buried my face in her neck as I came.

She clung to me, riding out the intense waves of pleasure. “That was amazing.” Sofia smiled up at me, love glittering in her eyes.

“You’re amazing.” I kissed the end of her nose. “Are you ready for your surprise?”

Her eyes flared. “You promise it doesn’t involve you bailing on the show? I really want you to go.”

“Don’t worry, I’m going.”

“Good.” She smiled. “You can video call me.”

“You know it.”

Little did she know I had something much better planned.

I tucked a piece of her hair behind one ear and kissed her again. “I love you, Sofia Bennet.”

“I love you too.”

I would never tire of hearing those words, not even for a second. The guys gave me shit about it all the time, but I didn’t give a fuck. I knew what it was like to almost lose the girl you loved. I intended on making sure she knew every second how much she was loved.

If I didn’t think Asher and Mya would disapprove, I’d put a ring on her finger and make her mine as soon as possible. But we were still young. We had a whole life ahead of us for the big stuff. I wanted Sofia to enjoy life first, to experience things. To make up for lost time. I wanted to give her the world and then some, and when I’d seen Vera advertised on a local online marketplace, I knew she was the inspiration I’d been looking for.

And I couldn’t wait to go on an adventure with my girl.

Sofia

“Sweetheart, your surprise is here,” Dad called, and I went hurrying downstairs.
