The rest of dinner is uneventful, but still a welcome night with the Chapmans. It reminds me so much of the nights where Collin, Tanner, and I would be with all of our grandparents and his younger siblings.

I miss those days.

After dinner, the four of us head back to our condo and say goodbye to Collin and Lizzy before heading back to Tanner’s for the night.

“So, your grandparents look like they’re doing great.” It’s more of a statement than a question but he still answers.

“Yeah, not much has changed with them. Glad they’re here in town as much as they are. I usually park in their lot when I ski and stop by after hitting the slopes most days.”

“It’s nice you get to spend so much time with them,” I say, watching the snow falling on the road in front of us. I know the falling snow means Tanner has to be up early as well, meaning we’ll probably go get coffees together. The thought makes me smile. I love getting to enjoy these smallnormalmoments together, a glimpse into his every day life.

“It is, but they’re not here as much as you’d think. With Grace, Clay, and my dad down in Salt Lake, they go stay with them half of the time.” He pauses, something clearly eating at him. “I’ve actually thought of moving down there to be closer to the family all year.”

“Really? I can’t picture you anywhere but here, but I can imagine that’d be nice to be closer to them. It definitely wouldn't feel as lonely as it does here sometimes. Why haven’t you done it?” I look at him, but his eyes stay focused on the road ahead. I can see the tension in his face though, his jaw tight.

“I think… part of me has always known that if I left, the odds of seeing you again would be so low. It’s not like you would ever have a reason to visit methere. In a way, leaving here would be like I was giving up on you, saying goodbye to you.”

I reach for his hand, trying to give him some level of comfort while I fight back the tears welling in my eyes. The idea that I’ve been so much a part of his life for all these years just keeps eating at me. I wish I had known years ago.

“Well I’m glad you stayed, Tanner. I can’t imagine this place without you. I’m glad you didn’t give up on me. I’ll never give up on you. I love you.”

“Love you too, Ronni.” I can see the expression on his face relax as we pull into the driveway, my words seeming to put him at ease. If I could go back in time, I would do anything to have more of him in my life, knowing how deeply he loves me.

As we get out of the truck and walk towards the cabin, I rush in front of him, blocking his way to the door.

“Tanner.” I rest my hands on his hips, looking up at him. “I mean it. I’m glad you stayed. I’m glad I’m here with you. I’m so happy you finally made your move and showed me how you felt. I don’t think I can ever imagine this place without you anymore. I love you so fucking much.”

I lean forward, standing on my toes to reach his face, desperate to kiss him. He slants his head, reaching down to me. Our lips meet, his mouth open and I can feel a low moan escape him. He pulls away from me, his hands holding my ribs. I watch his chest heave with each breath. He looks down at me, his eyes heavy. His lustful voice sends shivers through me.

“You know, you’re fucking cute when you get all serious and in your power pose like this.” He leans back down, planting another gentle kiss on my lips. “Cute and bossy.”

When he stands there, looking down at me like this, with my back against the door, it’s impossible to not feel just how imposing he is. He towers over me and when he’s this close to me, his broad shoulders completely cage me into the doorway. I’m overwhelmed by his scent, the sound of his heart pounding,his raw masculine presence making my whole body buzz, sending electricity between my legs.

I rest my hands on his chest and start to stand back on my toes, wanting to kiss him. Sensing it, his rugged hands cup my ass and lift me up to him. My legs instinctually wrap around him and his body now pins me against the door. I wrap my arms around him, holding his shoulders as he kisses my neck, his breath heavy and steamy just under my ear.

“Why don’t we take this inside?” His low voice escapes between muffled breaths and kisses.

“Please. Now.” The words come out almost frantic between my panting breaths. The way Tanner has unlocked the craving for touch, the need for pleasure, and a physical connection with someone that was buried deep inside me is so liberating. I still can’t get over how right, how perfect, our physical bond feels.

He opens the door with one hand, carrying me into the cabin with my legs and arms still wrapped around him tightly.

“What does my good girl want tonight?” he whispers into my ear as he carries me over to the bedroom. My pulse is racing, knowing that whatever I choose is going to be out of this world with him.

“I want your tongue. I want to feel it again.” I kiss his neck, feeling my whole body tense when he growls in approval.

“Good choice, Ronni.” He puts me down on the bed. His eyes run up and down me. He leans forward, his hands stopping at my waist, unbuttoning my jeans. He slides my shirt up, just under my breasts and runs a trail of kisses down my stomach, stopping just at the lacy blue fabric of my thong. His strong hands pull my panties and jeans down and he throws them to the other side of the bed.

The anticipation is pure torment. I can already feel my need pooling at my opening and pulsing through my clit.

He takes his shirt and jeans off, standing at the edge of the bed eyeing me. I can already see how hard his thick cock is, straining his black boxers. As much as I want his tongue on me, I need more.

“Tanner. I want to feel you. Let me touch… let me hold your cock while you eat me out.”

He eyes me lustfully, his green eyes practically smoldering.

“Now that sounds fucking good, you needy little thing.” He slides off his boxers and walks around the bed to my side. He climbs on to the bed, kneeling beside my head. His cock is only inches from my face when he leans down and takes off my shirt. He looks at my breasts, still covered by my bra, licking his lips before kissing just above the neckline. He works down my stomach to my aching clit, his chest now pressed against my hips.

He wraps his arms under my legs and cups my ass in his big hands, his strong fingers resting on my wet aching pussy, gently spreading me open. He plants a soft kiss on my clit before opening his mouth, sucking and licking it slowly. I feel my whole body clench and flex against the bed, except for my lower body pinned down by his broad chest.
