Before I could respond, Beau closed the distance between us, pressing his lips to mine in a kiss that was both tender and desperate. I melted into him, my arms wrapping around his broad shoulders as I returned the kiss with equal fervor. He tasted of cheap fast food, but I didn’t care. All that mattered was that it was him kissing me and him standing there in my apartment.

“I love you, cowboy,” I said, pulling away from him at last. “So much.”

“I love you too,” he grinned back, blush filling his cheeks. “More than I can say.”

His words sent a wave of warmth through me, and I couldn't help but smile back, my heart soaring. Beau's strong arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer. I reveled in the feeling of his solid chest against mine, the scent of him enveloping me.

“So,” I murmured, my fingers tracing patterns on the back of his neck, “what now?”

Beau's eyes darkened slightly, a mischievous glint appearing. “Well,” he drawled, his voice low and husky, “I reckon we've got some lost time to make up for.”

His lips found mine again, this time with more urgency. I gasped as he backed me up against the wall, his body pressing into mine. My hands tangled in his hair as the kiss deepened, passion igniting between us like a wildfire. I stopped for only a momentto grab my phone and text Lucas, telling him I was busy for the next hour or so and not to come knocking. I didn’t bother to wait for his reply before I tossed the phone aside and fell back into Beau’s arms.

As Beau's lips trailed down my neck, leaving a trail of fire in their wake, I could hardly believe this was happening. His strong hands gripped my hips, pulling me flush against him as he nipped at my collarbone. I let out a soft moan, my fingers tangling in his hair as our cocks ground together, nothing separating them but a thin layer of denim.

“Bedroom?” I managed to gasp out between kisses.

Beau pulled back slightly, his blue eyes dark with desire. “Lead the way, darlin',” he growled.

I took his hand, guiding him through my small apartment to the bedroom. As soon as we crossed the threshold, Beau spun me around, pressing me against the door as it closed behind us. His lips claimed mine in a searing kiss that left me breathless. I felt his hands go to my hips, his engorged cock grinding against my ass.

“God, I've missed you,” he murmured against my skin as he kissed his way down my back. “I never wanna be without you again.”

I moaned against the wall, pushing back against him teasingly. “Then don’t let me go, cowboy. I’m all yours. Whenever you want. Night or day.”

He leaned close, his lips against my ear. “Forever?”

I swallowed hard, shuddering with delight. “Forever.”

Beau's lips trailed down my neck, his stubble scratching deliciously against my skin. His strong hands roamed my body, leaving trails of tingles in their wake. I arched into his touch, desperate for more.

“Beau,” I gasped as he nipped at my earlobe. “Please...”

He chuckled low in his throat, the sound sending shivers down my spine. “Patience, darlin',” he drawled, his accent thicker with arousal. “I wanna take my time with you.”

His fingers deftly lifted my shirt, pulling it off my body and tossing it to the floor. I turned in his arms, my handsgoing to the buttons of his plaid shirt. My fingers trembled slightly as I worked them open, revealing more of his sun-kissed skin with each one.

Beau's eyes never left mine as I pushed his shirt off his broad shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. My hands roamed over his muscular chest, tracing the lines of his abs and feeling the warmth of his skin. He shivered under my touch, his breath hitching.

“You're so beautiful,” I murmured, leaning in to press soft kisses along his collarbone.

Beau's hands tangled in my hair, pulling me closer. “Look who's talkin',” he growled, his voice full of lust.

In one swift movement, he lifted me up, my legs wrapping around his waist as he carried me to the bed like I was made of nothing. He laid me down gently, his body covering mine as he captured my lips in another searing kiss. I arched up against him, desperate for more contact. The friction between us wasn’t enough and my cock was already aching with need.

His hands trailed down my sides, fingers hooking into the waistband of my jeans. He slowly unbuttoned them, his eyes locked on mine as he slid the zipper down. I lifted my hips, allowing him to pull them off along with my underwear, setting my cock free at last. Beau's gaze raked over my naked form, hunger blazing in those blue depths.

“Damn,” he breathed, his voice husky. “You're even more gorgeous than I remember.”

I felt a blush creep up my cheeks at his words. “You're not so bad yourself, cowboy,” I murmured, reaching for his belt buckle. “But you're a little overdressed, don't you think?”

Beau grinned, a mischievous glint in his eye. “Well, we can't have that, can we?”

He stood, slowly unbuckling his belt, the metal clinking softly. I propped myself up on my elbows to watch, my head level with the crotch of his jeans. I sat there, mesmerized, as Beau's strong hands worked open his pants. He shimmied them down his muscular thighs, revealing a pair of tight boxer briefs that left little to theimagination. My mouth went dry at the sight of his impressive bulge straining against the fabric.

“Like what you see?” Beau drawled, a teasing smirk playing on his lips.

“God, yes,” I breathed, reaching out to trace the outline of his cock through his underwear. Beau gasped, his hips jerking forward slightly at my touch.
