“Dove’s a part of me. I can’t just get rid of her, Riggs.”

“You’re not getting rid of her. She doesn’t just exist on your laptop screen, Valley.”

“How do you know?” I muttered, receiving a challenging look from him.

“I know because I see her every damn time I fuck you. Every time you suck my dick and every single damn time you stand in front of me looking like a goddess. You are Dove, Valley, and if you want this to work, you’ll delete that site.”

His words warmed my chest and I wondered if it was really him saying all those things.

It wasn’t in his nature to talk without making any growling sounds, but this time it was different.

He meant every word he said, and he showed me in that very moment that he was serious about us.

I stared at him, not able to speak or think straight.

This man had shown his true colors in the past few weeks, but even more of them right now.

He wasn’t always this rough, harsh man, but there was something soft deep inside of him that only showed when he truly wanted it to.

“Come here,” he ordered with his hands still in his pockets, but when I stepped closer, he pulled them out to wrap his arms around my waist, pulling me onto my tiptoes while I put my arms around his neck to hold him tight.

His embrace was something I’ve never felt before from him, but it was loving and warm, making me drop all those bad thoughts I had thanks to Cedric.

“Get rid of the site but not of Dove,” he said, his voice deeper and darker this time.

I closed my eyes to take in every single moment of this, not wanting to let go.

My heart was pounding in my chest, just like his was, showing me that we were feeling the same.

I was falling for this man, despite all the things standing against us.

I leaned back to look into his eyes with my hands cupping the back of his head and my body pressed against his.

“If I delete the site, you have to promise me this—whatever this is—will last.”

I needed to know, because if he would only want me for a short period of time, I didn’t care if the whole town found out about my website.

I’d continue camming, add some more customers and make a damn living from it.

He chuckled and moved his hands from my lower back to my ass, cupping it and squeezing it gently. “I’m getting old, darling. You’re it for me, and there’s no time left for me to find a girl who treats me like a king.”

I smiled at his words, feeling all the butterflies in my stomach go wild.

“And I know you’ll treat me like a queen,” I whispered back, biting my bottom lip to hold back a grin.

“A fucking naughty one at that.”

I laughed, feeling my happiness grow inside of me by the second.

Yeah, this man was it for me, and I wanted to scream it from the top of my lungs to show the world that no matter how old you were, you could be with whoever you chose to be with.

I decided to go home with her and watch her get rid of that website she spent so much time on in the past.

It sure was hard for her, but I was a jealous piece of shit and knowing she could someday get bored with me and turn to those men bothered the hell outta me.

We arrived at her house and found that Della wasn’t home either, probably out getting groceries or something while Andrew was at work.
