“I like you, too,” he says softly, his eyes staring into mine. “Like a lot.” My mouth goes dry as my heart speeds up. “I’ve never been in love before.” His voice is almost a whisper as he pushes my hair away from my face. “I don’t even know what it feels like to be in love.” The tears start to sting in my eyes. “Even when I was a kid, no one ever said I love you.” My hand comes up to cup his cheek. “So when I started feeling these things for you, I wasn’t sure what it was.” I smile, but the tears fall over my eyelids anyway. “But then the video came out, and I swear to God my whole body felt like it was going to shatter thinking about you being hurt.”
“I’m fine.” My thumb rubs his cheek.
“I love you,” he says, and my breath hitches. “I’ve never said that to anyone in my whole life,” he admits, and my chest aches for him. “I know I don’t deserve you, but now that I have you.” He smiles and blinks away his own tears. “I’m not letting you go.”
“Well, that’s a good thing.” I smile, tasting my own tears. “Because I love you, too.”
Chapter 36
Wilson
My eyes flip open, and I look over and see the spot beside me empty. I close my eyes again and turn to stretch. I get up on my elbow. “Baby?” I call out, and when I don’t hear a peep, I turn my head to check the clock beside my bed, and I see it’s just after eight. Looking over toward the bedroom door, I find it closed a bit. “Frances.” I call her name and nothing. I get out of bed and walk over to the door, opening it and checking to see if I can smell coffee. “Frances.” I call her name, but the whole house is eerily quiet. We’ve been together over two months, and it’s been like a dream. The worst part is when I have to travel, and I now understand why the guys bitch about leaving home. Because our last road trip was ten days, and after three days, I had to beg her to come out and see me. I almost cried when I saw her.
Walking over to the chair in the corner of the room where she tossed my shorts last night, I slip them on. I see the clothes she wore last night folded on the other chair with her pink robe draped over the side and two pairs of her shoes tucked under it. Seeing her stuff mixed with mine makes me smile as I turn to walk downstairs. I can hear a pot bang, and I walk into the kitchen and watch her move to the fridge. She’s wearing an oversized white T-shirt that falls off her shoulder. I can see her bare ass in it as she grabs the milk and then walks back to the counter, pouring the milk into our coffees. I approach her, standing at her back. “Morning,” I say, moving her hair away from her neck, then bending down and kissing her.
“Good morning.” She smiles at me, moving her ass in front of me. My hand comes up to cup her tit while my cock wants to come out and bury itself in her.
I move her hair to the other side, baring her neck and shoulder for me to kiss. “I called out for you three times.” She turns her face to me, and I kiss her forehead, then she tilts her head back as I kiss her lips. My hands go to her hips to stop her from torturing my dick. I leave her lips and kiss her shoulder, my hand moving up to slide in the front of her shirt. I cup her tit in my hand, tweaking her nipple as she lays her head on my chest. “I thought you left.” I move my head to the other side of her head, my other hand going to her hip, bunching up her shirt.
“Why would you think I left?” She wraps one hand behind my neck. My hand pushes the shirt under her breast as she turns in my arms to face me.
She puts her hand on my chest. “I don’t know. I just couldn’t find you.” She gets on her tippy-toes and kisses me. My hand pulls her other breast out as I lean down and take her nipple in my mouth. “It was so strange,” I tell her as she puts her hand on the back of my neck. I stand and pull her to me. My hands go under her shirt to her bare ass, and she kisses my lips as I move us to the other side of the counter. “My heart was going nuts.” I kiss her lips for a second and then cup one breast while I lean down and take the other nipple in my mouth. “I just thought you were gone.” I get on my knees in front of her, attacking one nipple and then the other.
