“Well,there will be some, but it won’t be like before. I do want you to tell whoever the hell that was you went out on a date with that you have a very serious boyfriend who doesn’t mind coming out there to kick his ass if he keeps on asking youout.”

“How did you know about that?” I ask as I furrow myeyebrows.

“Our friends talk, baby. Don’t ever think they don’t. So let that English dude know I mean business. We may be taking this thing slow, but you are definitely mine. Okay?” He runs his finger along my jawline as he looks atme.

“Then you do the same. Let all those Lubbock hussies know that you belong to me.” I run my hand over his stubblycheek.

“Will do,” he says then kisses me lightly. “Now just one more time then we need to get up and get ourselves cleaned up. I can’t wait to go to Peyton’s and ride somehorses.”

I smile at him and have to wonder if I can really do this. Right now with him all up on me like this I feel as if I could do anything. But when he goes back to Lubbock and I go back to Los Angeles. I can’t besure.

Blake gives me a strength I don’t have when I’m all alone. All I know is that for right now, I want this. I want this man and all that comes withhim.

But do I have it in me to keep thisup?

Darkness settled in a long time ago as I finished up my shift at the restaurant. Getting home, taking a long, hot bath and climbing into my bed is foremost on mymind.

Blake and I have settled into something nice. We talk on the phone and text some, but he’s giving me the space I need. He’s really taking thingsslow.

I have to say I didn’t think he could do it, but it’s been nearly a month since we got back together. We stayed three days together then I came home. Have I missedhim?

Hell yes Ihave!

But finals are comingup soon and I’ve had to come up with new recipes for many of my classes and that’s kept me and my mind pretty busy. Kip and Peyton are my Guinea pigs and they’re loving every bite ofit.

They nearly have what they want. Which is me cooking for them all the time. But I’ve managed to get Peyton to learn some things in the kitchen and even Kip has learned to cook a thing ortwo.

He wants a permanent chef before their second child gets here though. I’m helping them do interviews later this week to get that accomplished for them. It’s the least I can do since I won’t take them up on theiroffer.

My phone has been off since I was at work and having your phone on while there can get you fired. As I pull up in front of my apartment I tap the button and turn it backon.

Once inside and on my way to take these clothes off I see Blake has texted me. I turn on the water and pour a tiny amount of Pax’s bubble bath in the steamywater.

I like to save Blake’s nightly texts to read while I soak the day’s work and worries away. All settled in, I take my phone and read what he’s sentme.

-Hi baby. Hope your day was good. Mine was full of things like taking my pilots test and passing it! Yeah, that’s right, your man is officially a helicopter pilot! Max taught me well, and I passed with flying colors. My elbow is getting a little tired as I’ve patted myself on the back allday.

Once that paper was in my hand all I could think about was taking you on trips all over the place. I know, I know, we’re taking itslow!

I’m going to take a chopper on a test drive tomorrow. Wish you could be here to help me pick one out. I’ll send you pictures and you can tell me which one you like. By the way, I saw an article about this car I think would be perfect for you and I’d like to buy one for you for your birthday or Christmas, or any day,really.

Don’t answer me about that yet. I know you need time for it to sink into your brain that I love you and want to give you things. It makes me happy and I seem to think nearly constantly about you and what you mightlike.

So, as you requested me to do each night, here is one thing about my life: I flunked third grade and had to go to summer school to catch back up to my grade level. There, now you have one of my deep, dark secrets. Your turn to tell meone.

I love you and look forward to your nightly text. P.S. I know you’re reading this while you soak in the bath so promise me you’ll picture me when you clean your nether regions. And remember more than three passes over that area is considered playing with yourself. I love you,XOXO-

Igiggleand lean back to think about what I want to say to him. After putting the phone on the counter I lie back and pour a little body wash on a puff and run it over my neck, then down my arm and finally over mybreasts.

My eyes close as I think about how gently Blake can run his large hands over my body. So muscled yet he can be the most tender man in the world. He and I took a shower the last night we were together at Peyton’s parents’ house and he ran his hands all overme.

I run the soapy puff over my arms, remembering how he made long strokes over both my arms with his firm hands. His hands slipped off them and over my breasts as I held my palms against the wall and he stood behind me. His cock pressed against myback.

Just the thought sends heat through me, just like it did then. His lips touched my shoulder and I recall shivering as chills ran through me, fighting the heat that resided in my body. It was an odd yet exhilaratingsensation.
