Page 70 of Something Borrowed

After a moment of silence, just us sitting together and looking out over the nothingness, he leans close and whispers against my ear.

“It won’t be like this forever, my love. We will have our lives back to normal soon. This is only temporary.”

“I’m just worried about where it all ends.” I shrug, my head resting on his shoulder and the warmth of his hand against my side.

“It ends with us together. No matter what.” He says.

He wraps his hand around the back of my neck and digs his fingers into my skin. His expression becomes serious.

“I am never letting you go, Verity. You and I belong together. Nothing in this universe can change that. If I can’t be with you I don’t want to exist.”

My heart races at his words.

His love for me is an obsession.

It makes me feel desired and dangerously romantic.

I turn on his lap so that I’m facing him. Wrapping my legs around his waist I lean forward to kiss him.

He grabs my ass and pushes his cock up against me. It’s hard and pressing against the fabric of his pants, teasing me.

A soft moan escapes my lips and I kiss deeper, pushing my tongue into his mouth.

Never in my life have I been so loved before. No one has ever wanted me before. So needed.

His love for me drives me crazy in passionate ways. Pushes me to do things that evenImight not do alone. He is the one person in this world who might be a little crazier than I am.

He stands up, lifting me in his arms.

“I think we should go somewhere a little more private.” He grins.

“More private than the middle of nowhere?”

“I’m sure old man Tucker at reception would love to come back early and get an eye full of your gorgeous ass. I’d bet he’s neverseen something so beautiful in his entire life.” He says slapping my butt to prove his point.

I giggle and press my mouth over his to kiss him while he carries me towards our motel room. He kicks the bottom of the door open with his foot and then closed again behind us before he drops me onto the bed.

Red pulling his shirt off, so I do the same. I tug my t-shirt over my head and throw it at him with a mischievous smile on my face.

He stands next to the bed looking down at me with intense focus.

“You try are the most beautiful thing in the world, Verity. I could obsess over you for all eternity. You are my reason to live - my everything.”

My heart beats faster, pushing the boundaries of my love for him further than ever before. His pale green eyes are my drug, and his words are a poison of dangerous proportions. I want him.

Standing up on the bed I jump over to him and into his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.

“I love you to the end of the universe, Viking.” I kiss his cheek, then nuzzle my face into his neck. “And then all the way back again. A hundred times.”

He falls us both onto the bed, his arms pinned on either side of my head, pressing his hands into the mattress, caging me into his field of vision.

“Believe me when I tell you I will never leave you or stop loving you.” He whispers, looking down at me with a hungry fierceness in his eyes.

I reach up to touch his face.

“Why me? How did I get so lucky?”

“It was always going to be you, Verity. It wasn’t luck. It was destiny.”
