He held my hips. “That’s your dream?”
My nose curled. “Is it small?”
He laughed. “No, it’s cute, and I remember wishing for that as a kid too.”
Good. I kissed his cheek. I was happy he had more than I could even dream. “Have you gone before?”
He tugged me to him. “Yes, the last time was when my father rented out the entire park for us to enjoy on our own for a few hours every day so we never had to stand in line.”
I batted my eyelashes. “Oh, I just want to see it, but others around is good too.”
His lips were so close to mine. “Then we will, together.”
His kiss made me hot, fast. I held on to his neck and continued. However, my phone buzzed, loud and clear. I jumped off him though I had half a mind to stay where I was. I continued to the bathroom and grabbed the phone.
He followed me, naked and ready for me, but I saw Cobi Mayson’s number, so I answered. My heart pounded. If I didn’t give my statement, my father might be let out on a technicality on the lack of witness statements. I swore to him I would show up first thing in the morning. As I hung up, I lowered my head and said to Joel, “It’s going to have to wait.”
He took my hands, and tears formed in my eyes as he asked, “Why?”
Most of my life, I’d wished I’d been born in another life or family where I wasn’t always afraid. My cheeks were wet as I said, “The police need me to give an official statement at the local office.”
He wiped my face, and I stopped misting up as he said, “We can go together.”
He was wonderful as always, but I patted his cheek and said, “No. I need to clean up my own life, so I’ll head back on my own.”
He led me back toward the bedroom. "Tomorrow.”
He opened the door, and I laughed. “I’m sure they don’t open till nine a.m. anyhow.”
We returned to the bed. “And you can take the plane.”
“And my mom?”
“The sitter and my family will ensure she’s fine.”
I tensed. I wasn’t expecting that to stop me, but I swallowed. “I love you, without all that trapping. Your money still scares me, though I’m getting better at accepting.”
Then he kissed me, and I climbed back on him as we fell onto the bed. I needed him, now, and as I brushed against his cock, I knew I needed more.
We continued and made out, but I took control and found his condom stash. He tried to help, but I let him nibble on my nipple as I rolled it on. This time, he would know I wanted him because I loved him. Once he was inside me, I rode him it was like I was powerful and special. Being his was like an amazing high that was way better than drugs or alcohol might provide. Joel was real.
I deepened so we were one. Then my body shattered, and I lost control fast, but he took over the pace and found his orgasm with me.
Sure, we’d gone too fast again. However, everything about us together was magical, and I never wanted us to end, ever.
ChapterForty-Four
Kendal
New clothes magically appeared in the main room when I woke up, so I changed quickly. The limo was waiting outside. When I came out of the bathroom, Joel was dressed in jeans and a gray T-shirt.
We headed to the limo, which took us to the airport, where we had breakfast on the plane. No matter what happened in town, I would return to his world, where I would live in a fantasy and feel safe. The limo took us to the garage, where Joel picked up his car.
I held his hand, and I had a spring in my step. Soon, we were pulling in front of the Murfreesboro Sheriff’s office, and my hair stood on end. I lifted my chin, refusing to be intimidated. “Wait here.”
He gave me a huge grin. “Of course.”
So I marched toward the door. The air inside smelled the same as it had before.
