Page 9 of Text You Up

It was apparently a million-dollar question that wasn’t going to get answered because it had been ten days since I last spoke with Dagger, and I hadn’t heard from him since.

“Pull around back, down this road and D33 is on the left.” I fake smiled at the mother of four obnoxious boys who were trying to pour their water into one of my little plants.

“Thank you so much. Sorry about your plant.”

I glanced at the plant that had water running out of the bottom, sloshing onto the floor. I reached for a towel and herded the woman and her kids out the door and attended to the mess. At least they hadn’t knocked it over.

But still irritating.

Nothing new there.

I hated the way I was in a perpetual state of irritation. It wasn’t anyone’s fault but my own. I had even held out from completely believing that Dagger would contact me. I mean, I was still a skeptical human, not fully believing that our instant connection could be full blown love at first sight.

Even though I had felt it.

A firm grip of someone’s hand landed on my shoulder. I jumped at the forceful contact, my first thought being it was my biological father. I turned to face the bastard.

And was greeted by the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen.

Dagger Daniels stood there with one hand in his pocket with his other one up in a sign of peace. He had a large grin on his face. “You look stunning.”

I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. His perfect beauty hit me hard. I wanted to jump in his arms. I wanted to yell at him for not returning the one text message I sent. I wanted to cry to him and tell him about Eliza and my father.

His hand came out and he drew a line across the bridge of my nose to my cheek and down the side of my neck. “Tell me you aren’t upset with me for ignoring you for ten days.”

“Depends on how you answer this question. Are you leaving tomorrow?”

Dagger laughed. “No, Fionna. I’m not leaving again. In fact, I got Rodrigo to get me a job here with his uncle. Turns out his uncle needs a heavy equipment driver and I’m the guy with all the skills.”

I slow blinked. What was he saying exactly? “So, when do you go back to Pine Springs?”

He cupped my cheeks. “Never, Fionna. Never.”

Relief coursed through me, and I flung myself into his arms. “I’m so mad at you. But I’m so in love with you its ridiculous. You promise you’re here for good?”

He glanced behind him, walked over to the office entrance, and locked it. “I promise I’m here for good. For you. Forever. And you know the only thing I continued to think about over and over? Was that very first day we met, and you were bent over your counter here. Thoughts of fucking you and making you squirm is what kept me waking up every day.”

“So, you’re saying you don’t want to waste another minute fantasizing? You want the memory of the real deal.”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

“What if someone walks up?”

“Then it’s a good thing we’re behind the counter and you’re wearing a skirt.”

“Faster,” Fionna moaned.

“No. I’m watching myself slide inside of you. I’ve been waiting for this moment for like twelve days.” A lifetime really, but I wasn’t going to get all sappy on her when her pussy was wrapped snug around my cock and all I wanted from her in this moment was to shatter against me.

“Please. I’m so close.”

It was the please that got me. I rammed myself into her, hard and quick. Her moans bounced off the walls inside the lobby driving me closer to my own release. I wanted to transfer everything I was feeling about her to this moment.

To the fact that we were finally together.
