Page 79 of Always Red (Chasing Red 2)

I watched as she took what she needed, as she let herself get lost in the incredible sensation of our bodies sliding and rubbing against each other.

I would have given her anything she asked of me. She was so fucking beautiful I couldn’t help but watch as she took and took and took.

I kissed her hungrily before she shattered in my arms.

It was a moment before I could finally speak. She was draped on me, her lips on my neck as her breathing finally slowed down.

“You just dry humped me in the parking lot,” I murmured.

And then her shoulders started to shake before her loud peals of laughter filled the car.

“I love it,” I added.

“Oh my God, Caleb. You drive me crazy.”

I pulled her to me, kissing her again. I couldn’t get enough. “I can drive you crazier. Just wait until I—”

She growled and covered my mouth with her hand. When she was sure I wouldn’t say anything, she rested her chin on my shoulder and I stroked her hair gently.

“I’ll come home to you as soon as I can,” I promised.

“I’ll be waiting.”

“I miss you already.”

“I know,” she whispered. “I miss you already too.”

Chapter Twenty-two

Caleb

“Red, wait.”

I should have let her go. I was parked in front of Kara’s home to drop her off. I needed to rush to the airport before my plane left, but I grabbed her hand before she could slide out of the car.

“I want to walk you to the door.”

When her eyes softened, I drew her in to me and just held her close.

Would I ever get used to this?

Would I ever get used to the way my heart pounded every time she let me wrap my arms around her, the way she let her walls down for me, the way she let herself trust and allowed herself to…just love me?

“I don’t want to go,” I said.

Her arms came around my back. “I know,” she said quietly. “But you’ll be back soon.”

“Think of me.”

“I think it’s impossible not to.”

I. Couldn’t. Stop. Grinning.

I pulled away and looked at her. Taking my fill, memorizing her face. “Hold on.”

I pulled out my phone and quickly took a picture of her.

“Caleb!”
