“Why?”

“I’ll want you to touch me again.”

“Good. Come on. To the sofa.” I wrapped her arms around my neck. Her legs hugged my torso.

“Collin, you don’t find it a little crazy I was obsessed with you in my dreams? I could be a psycho.”

“Let’s see, you’ve lied to me every chance you had, telling me you didn’t want me. Which was a total lie.” I lowered her onto the sofa. “You don’t find it weird I said you belonged to me?”

She raised her finger between us. “Yes. Because you’re not the girlfriend type, Collin. And it’s ok. I’ll be as strong as I can to play up until the time you leave.”

“Action speaks louder than words, my rugged little princess. I’ll just have to show you.”

Kara swept her hair over her shoulder and buried her head in the red pillow.

“Collin, I’d like scrambled eggs with cheese, French toast, and turkey bacon. I have orange juice in the fridge. The number to the diner is under a magnet on the refrigerator.”

“All right, I’ll wake you when the food arrives.”

Her eyelids lowered. I draped a blanket over her slender frame.

After I placed our order, I channel surfed until I landed on an Alaska Ice Fishing reality show. A smile curled my lips as I pondered on our time together yesterday. Ice fishing with Kara was perfect. Her tourist skills were fascinating. I also enjoyed watching her interact with her friends. She was just her. Didn’t try to be anyone else. I love that about Kara. The perfect ending to my day was having her all to myself. My cock was hard just thinking about how good her pretty lips felt wrapped around the head of my dick.

Every moment she never experienced with another man; I wanted all those moments. After last night, I realized I wasn’t willing to leave here without her. Sounded insane.

A man like me who didn’t believe in relationships. A man who enjoyed his freedom. Every time we were in close proximities, I wanted her time. All of it. I clenched my eyes shut. The thought sounded crazy the more it came to mind. Knowing she had a crush on me before I arrived, shit, that was the icing on the cake. I had a shoe in the door to seduce her, fuck her, fuck with her mental faculties, and show her she was all I ever needed after our first encounter.

That snarky attitude was challenging, and I fucking loved it.

Almost an hour later, I awoke Kara to eat breakfast.

She peeked at me, and a warm smile struck her beautiful features. That smile was electrifying.

“Sit up and eat.”

Kara stretched her arms and yawned. “I’m exhausted.”

“Eat a little and go back to sleep. Your job is very physical and demanding. How often do you rest?”

She tapped her cheek. “Not often. If I’m not on a tour, I work in the office and help my dad with the books.”

Smoke rose from the piping hot food as she opened the Styrofoam container.

“This smells so good. My favorite breakfast.”

Noted.

“What did you order?”

I bit into a sausage link. “Pancakes, a spinach and cheese omelet, and eggs sunny side up.”

“Sounds good. I haven’t eaten a spinach omelet in a while.”

“You want to taste?”

“Yeah.”

I picked up my tray and sat on the sofa beside her. Sliding my fork through the omelet, I scooped it up and slipped a sliver between her lips.
