Page 49 of Whatever Will Be

I adapt in a hurry and move my hips with a low moan. He feels so fucking fantastic and I want him so badly. I love that we’re doing this crazy thing right here and now. I arch my back as I ride him, relishing the tingling sensation of my nipples brushing over his hard chest.

We fit together like we were always meant to do this and we’re good, so good, so exciting and wild and electric.

He’s been on my mind so much lately that I don’t need long to come once I have him. I feel the wave cresting and I ride him harder.

I’m not quiet about taking my pleasure.

No, I throw my head back and make all the noise I want as the orgasm wrecks my senses, retreating with one delicious spasm at a time as I clutch this ridiculously sexy prince and beg for more.

Trent winds my long hair around one fist and lightly pulls until he can see my face.

He’s grinning. “Can’t believe my luck that you’re this dirty.”

“We’re both dirty.” I run my tongue over his stubbled jaw. “That’s why this feels so good.”

“Gretch,” he groans and demands my mouth, kissing me hard as the second wave claims me.

His muscles tighten and he’s so massively hard my thighs quake. Trent stiffens and our mouths remain fastened together as he takes his turn. He continues to hold me close after he releases and I kiss him one final time before climbing off and searching for my clothes.

Trent peels the condom away and I hand him a tissue so he can get rid of it. I know he’s watching me as I dress and I don’t mind. I like to know he’s looking.

Once we’re fully clothed and have found our way back to the main road, I bring something up that might be kind of early to address but will bother me if I don’t.

“Trent, I’m not seeing anyone else. I haven’t really dated at all since last summer. I’ve been too busy with school and with my internship. I just wanted you to know that.”

His sunglasses are back on and he nods. “Good. Because I don’t like to share.”

“Neither do I,” I tell him, very pointedly.

He looks at me quickly and reaches for my hand. “It’s been over six months for me. And now I’m not looking at anyone but you, Gretchen. I swear.”

We spend the rest of the drive smiling at each other like idiots until I warn him that we’d better cool it or Danny will figure out something is up.

Trent shrugs this off. “He’s got to find out sooner or later.”

“I choose later.” I exhale noisily. “When we get home, I’m going to tell him he should go to spring training. It’s what he wants and he might not have many chances left. Jules would never have intended to take that opportunity away from him. He’ll be worried about how I’ll manage with the girls but we’ll be fine. If he asks you, please reassure him.”

“Will do. And you really will be fine, Gretchen. Besides, I’m sticking around. My attitude needs some work and I can never seem to remember the lyrics to cartoon princess musicals but I do have my good points. What I’m trying to say is that if you need anything, I’m here.”

He melts my heart. But I want to make sure I’m being fair to him. “The twins are with me for good, Trent. We’re a package deal.”

“I get it.”

“And you’re okay with that?”

He doesn’t miss a beat. “Of course.”

If he wasn’t driving then nothing would stop me from throwing myself into his arms. “Will you stay for dinner later? I’m not a fantastic cook but spaghetti is something I can’t screw up. And the girls love seeing you. I want us all to have a nice meal together before Danny leaves.”

Trent grabs my hand and kisses it. “I’ll stay as long as you want me.”

This boy.

He’s the biggest surprise of my life in the best way.
