Page 29 of How We Loved

I run my fingers up his face as he slides us both toward the passenger side. Before I know it, I’m on my back, and he’s on top of me.

The feeling of his hard body on mine is causing sensations throughout my body that I’ve only dreamed of. I’ve kissed boys, but never made out with them like this.

His hand runs down my arm, across my side, and down to my ass, where he firmly grips me, pulling me closer to him.

I feel the bulge in his pants, and instantly, my heart starts to race as flashes of excitement rush through my veins. It’s better than any roller coaster I’ve ever been on or cheerleading stunt where I’m thrown into the sky.

Those experiences are so singular. Being able to experience this because of another person is mind-blowing to me. I had no idea someone else could make my body feel this way.

His lips never leave from mine as our tongues dance and our breathing turns erratic. When he moves his hand up and under my sweater, my entire body flushes from his fingers being on my bare skin.

He parts my thighs with his and slides in between them, grinding against me as I wrap my legs around him.

I’m panting in ways I never knew was possible when his phone sounds off, taking me out of my lust-filled fog, and I realize what was really going on.

That got super intense really fast …

He drops his head to my chest with a sigh.

“I’m kicking myself for setting that damn alarm,” he bites out, then raises himself to stare into my eyes. “I knew I’d get so lost in you that I would lose track of time. I have to get to work.”

With a huff, he lifts himself off of me completely and reaches for his phone to turn off the annoying sound.

I lie there for a few seconds, still in shock of going from zero to one hundred, then back to zero in a blink of an eye.

He moves my legs to the side so he can get readjusted in his seat. I sit up suddenly, very self-conscious and not sure what to say now.

Grabbing for my hand, he pulls me close to him, whispering before he kisses me again, “This is your seat, remember?”

I slide next to him with a grin, feeling secure with him as he starts the truck and backs out.

“I’ll have to drop you off and race back to Springstown.”

He squeals the tires as he speeds back to the road, and I guide him back to my home.

As he drives up the driveway, he says, “Sorry I had to cut things short. I can’t be late.”

I grin. “No worries. I don’t want you to be late either.”

He pulls up to my house and instantly puts the truck in reverse, making me feel like I’d better hurry to get out. I unbuckle my seat belt and slide over while grabbing my bag.

Before I can open the door, he reaches for my arm and pulls me back to him, kissing me with an intense kiss.

“We’ll definitely finish what we started very soon.”

I smile and give him a shy, “Okay,” then turn back to the door.

“Hey,” he says to stop me. “This is official. You’re mine from here on out.”

Hearing him say that fills me with so much happiness, and I can’t hide it. I was hoping we’d make it official, and he just did in the sexiest fashion ever.

The idea of officially having a boyfriend reminds me, so I ask, “Can you get the night of Halloween off? We can go to a party together.”

“I’ll see what I can do.”

I lean back over and kiss him again before sliding out of the truck and watching him fly down my driveway to get to work on time.
