Page 31 of Make You Love Me

“God, I fucking love this ass and these shorts… but this shirt has me about ready to take you on this counter.” I blush as his hands travel up to my boobs and he squeezes. I'm wearing a simple tank top that hugs my body, not something I would have ever worn in the past.

“I’ve never felt comfortable wearing something like this outside of my own house.” I spin around to face him. Peering into his eyes, I continue, “Being with you has helped me embrace my body. The way you look at me, the way you make me feel about myself… No one has ever made me feel the way you do. I—“

Just then, the loud kitchen timer goes off and I scurry away from the stove, but not before Greyson pulls me in for a deep kiss.

“There’s nothing I want more than to see you smile every day, and to know I'm the one that’s putting it there.”

He turns to take care of whatever needs his attention. Jumping up onto the counter across from him so I’m not in his way, I can’t help but admire Greyson’s ass in his jeans as he moves around the kitchen. So plump and firm, it must look even better in his football pants.

Mmm, the thought of him all sweaty on the field… I’ll have to make it to one of his games in the fall.If he wants me there.

“You’re awfully quiet. What are you thinking about?” he says over his shoulder.

“How nice your ass probably looks in your football uniform,” I say with no shame. That earns me a deep laugh from Greyson.

“You’ll have to see me in action.” He winks and delivers a devilish smirk.

“That’s what I was thinking.”

“Okay, food’s just about ready. Want to grab us drinks? I set the table out on the patio already,” Greyson says while pulling a dish out of the oven.

I grab a soda for him from the fridge and refill my water, then head out through the French doors that lead to the back patio.

A big smile spreads across my face as I set our drinks down. He’s so fricken cute, I can’t even.

Greyson has a vase of the most gorgeous shade of purple hydrangeas in the middle of the table.He remembered.I mentioned them being my favorite in passing one day and he actually remembered.

What did I do to deserve someone so thoughtful and attentive? I look up to the sky and send a silent thank you to my mom. She must have sent him to me, knowing exactly what I needed.

I head back inside to help bring out whatever else we need. But instead, I stop to throw my arms around him and take his lips in mine. I kiss him deeply and passionately. He’s too damn perfect.

When we break away for air, I can’t stop the words that fly out. “I love you Greyson—so much it scares me.”

His eyes widen at first, but moments later his lips are crashing into mine once again. “You make my heart beat out of my chest every time I even think of you babe. You’re everything I could have ever wanted. I love you too, Lottie, so fucking much.”

Greyson’s thumb wipes away the stray tear that has fallen on my cheek. “You’re so fucking beautiful, I love everything about you.” He leans down and kisses my nose. “I’m so lucky to call you mine.”

We kiss some more, savoring the moment. With my arms around his neck and his lips all over me, I feel like I could stay like this forever.

“Babygirl, if we don’t stop, I'm going to drag you to my room and all this cooking will be for nothing.”

I respond with a childish whine and pout my lips.

“But don’t you worry, I have something special planned for dessert,” he says with that sly smile of his.

My body, already brimming with lust, is ready to say screw dinner and let’s skip to the good stuff, but I know how hard he worked on this meal.

“Okay, handsome, I look forward to it,” I say suggestively while grazing my hand over the semi tenting his pants.

“Fuck, I love you,” he says as he swats my ass. “Now grab a dish and let’s eat so I can devour you.”

Dinner was absolutely delicious. My man can cook!

Sitting on the patio was so romantic, he timed dinner perfectly with sunset and it was breathtaking to watch. There’s something to be said about a Carolina sunset. The way the vast open sky takes on the vibrant colors of the rainbow and the way those colors deepen as the sun sets over the distant tree line, really makes you stop and just admire its beauty.

I sit there twirling my bracelet as I watch the last of the sun dip below the horizon, thinking about how happy I am at this very moment and how long it’s been since I’ve felt this way.
