“Yep. I wentfull send.Channeled my inner Tanner Chapman.” Her tears are slowing to a trickle, a smile now trying to take root on her face. Fuck me, that smile. I missed it. I needed it. I drove twenty-four hours straight just hoping to see it again.
“Damn. I mean that’s awesome. You’re a badass. I guess I must have rubbed off on you more than I thought,” I say,winking at her before kissing her. I exhale deeply. I can’t believe how much I already missed her touch.
“You know, I was ready to live outside in your driveway, in the van, just to be close to you,” I say, my voice low, holding my forehead to hers.
She pulls away, looking back up at me.
“Oh yeah? Not sure my neighbors would like that arrangement,” she teases before wiping the last remaining tears out of her eyes.
I look back at the van. “Fair enough. But you’re right, driving back to Wyoming with you sounds way better.” The thought of being next to her, driving across the country for twenty-four hours sounds perfect right now. We have so much to talk about and I’ll have to keep my hands on the wheel, off of her, which will be hard to do. But it will be worth it.
“So we’re really doing this? Going back to Wyoming, together?”
I look into her hazel eyes, the little gold flecks sparkling back at me. I already know the answer but still can’t believe this is really happening.
“Yes, please. I’m never leaving your side again. I’m along for the ride, wherever it takes us, as long as it’s with you,” she says, resting her head back on my chest. “So when can we leave?” She looks down at Rex then back to me. “I just want to go home, with you. So the sooner, the better.”
Those words brand themselves on my heart.
Home, with you.
Home hasn’t always feltlike homefor me in the past. But now, I don’t know what’s next. I just know for once in my life, whatever comes our way, I’ll be happy having her by my side.
“Hey, wait,” I say, a thought popping in my head. “Weren’t you just on the phone?”
“Oh fuck! Collin!” We look back towards her car together, the driver door open only a few steps away from where we’re standing.
“Collin, you’re on speaker, if you’re still there,” Ronni says.
“Oh yeah, we’re both still here. Didn’t miss a word ofthat,” Lizzy cackles. “So, are you guys going to hit the road? If you get your butts moving I’ll get my flight changed and we can have a couple more days in Jackson together.”
“Yes, that sounds perfect. See you soon. Love you guys. I’m hanging up now,” Ronni says, grabbing her phone and making sure to finally hang up this time.
We go inside so she can finish packing, this time a little less hurried. It’s the first time I’ve ever actually been to Ohio, much less her house. I’m guessing we’ll come back again some other time to grab her car and other stuff, but for now she just wants to grab what she can fit in the van to take back to Wyoming. Who knows, maybe we can convince Collin and Lizzy to drive her car out with the rest of her stuff sometime and fly them back.
I can’t stop laughing at her and shaking my head though. She just quit her job, in the middle of ski season and is going to have the foreseeable future off to enjoy the mountains in Wyoming. I’m almost jealous, actually.
I notice she’s standing at her nightstand, looking down at some black silk bags in the drawer.
“What are those?” I wrap my arm around her, planting a kiss on her neck.
“Just my boyfriends before you.” She turns to me, biting her finger tip. She runs her other hand across the front of my jeans. “I don’t think I’ll be needing them any more.”
I crane my neck, bringing my mouth to hers, feeling it open as her tongue finds mine. I pull back, already feeling myself breathing heavy.
“Hey. Let’s not be too crazy now. I’m not ashamed to say we could have some fun with those. And I think we have room to bring them along,” I say with a wink.
She smirks back at me, raising one eyebrow.
“Ok. If you say so.” Her voice is low and sultry and her fingers are still lingering on the front of my jeans. “Do we have time for a quickie? I’ve missed you and it would be a shame for you to finally make it to Ohio and not be able to say you got to fuck your girlfriend here.”
Yep. I’m definitely hard now. I can already feel my cock straining against my my fly. Definitely wasn’t part of today’s plan but there’s zero chance I’m saying no to her,ever.
“Take your pants off,” I growl, already unzipping my fly and pulling my jeans off. “Now.”
She eagerly obliges, pulling her pants down and kicking them to the side. She stands back on her toes, planting a kiss on my neck before looking into my eyes, a taunting smirk on her face. She reaches up to spin my black flat bill hat around. “Keep the hat on. I like it.”
“Anything you want, Ronni.” I grin before I turn her around and pull her into me, her ass now against my boxer briefs, teasing myself so bad. I get her on the bed and on her knees, facing the headboard. She pants as I kiss the back of her neck, running my hands up her thighs before I run my fingers along the fabric of her thong.
