“I’ve been thinking,” he began, “about where we go from here with us.”
“Ah, the infamous discussion that either ends in marriage or defeat,” I said.
“What?” he asked.
“I’m just kidding, but in the movies, that’s what this conversation is.”
“I’ll take your word for it. Anyway, I figure since you already have some things here, you might as well continue to bring things over.”
“But then I wouldn’t have any things at my apartment,” I said.
“Exactly.”
The grin that spread across his face lit a fire in my chest. My eyes widened, and my lips parted in shock, and I still didn’t allow myself to believe he was asking what he was.
“Do you need it spelled out for you?” he asked.
And all I could do was nod my head.
“Hailey,” he said as he took my hand within his, “would you move in with me?”
I threw my arms around him and crashed my lips down onto his. I rolled him back over onto his back, straddling his hips with my legs while our tongues battled against one another’s. His hands were all over me while his hips undulated into me, and I felt him pop and slide right in as a whimper left my lips.
“Move in with me,” he said breathlessly.
“I would love nothing more.”
He stayed there, seated within me while we lost ourselves in each other’s eyes. His dark brown eyes were overflowing with lust, and I could feel my entire body trembling. I wanted this man more than I could stand, and the mere idea of moving in with him strummed the very fabric of my body. I cupped my hand over his cheek, pulling his face lovingly to mine as I matched my lips with his, but then a small giggle started at the back of my throat.
And that giggle turned into laughter, and that laughter put a stop to everything that was currently going on.
“What’s so funny?” Bryan asked.
“Your parents are going to lose their shit when they find out I’ve moved in with you,” I said, laughing.
“It’ll be downright scandalous to them,” he said.
“They’ll probably try to have me arrested for it.”
“All the more reason to do it,” he said.
“What, so I can get thrown in jail and earn some sort of street cred or something?”
“No, because it’s what I want with my life, and damn them if they don’t see how happy it makes me.”
His statement stopped my laughter in its tracks. I felt him throbbing inside me, his entire body screaming out to move while my warmth encompassed him. Then, I knew I could never love another man the way I loved Bryan, and I dipped my face to his neck while I moved my hips.
He groaned, his hands running down my sides to grasp the globe of my ass, but before we could kick things up, a debilitating headache rushed through the front of my head.
And I had to swallow deeply to keep from throwing up stomach bile onto his pillow.
“All right. Enough’s enough. I’ve been worried about these headaches you keep brushing off, so
now, we’re going to the doctor.”
“Bryan, I have an appointment this afternoon. Don’t worry, okay? I’ll get some medicine for it, and it’ll be all right.”
“Then, I’m coming with you,” he said.
