She nodded and did as I asked.
Finding the perfect spot would be key. We were at one of the highest points on the ranch. It over looked the Frio river below and the vast hill country. It was one of my favorite spots on the ranch. Paxton and I used to come here often. I couldn’t count on my hands how many times I made love to her in the back of my truck at this location. Under the stars, under the sun, in the rain. The memories coursed through my mind, making my body heat.
After laying out the blanket, I motioned for her to sit. When her hand touched mine I felt her love zip through my body.
“This is all so wonderful. I’ve had such an amazing day today.”
A warmth filled my chest. “So have I.”
Pulling her over to me, she sat between my legs, her head resting on my chest as we looked out over the hill country. A warm contentment settled in my chest. This woman was my life. Everything I ever wanted or needed was in my arms, and I had no intentions of ever letting her go.
“This has always been one of my favorite spots,” she said while her hands moved lazily over my legs, and she melted into my body.
“Mine too.”
She tilted her head and looked up at me. Her eyes danced with joy. “I haven’t been this happy in a long time. Thank you.”
Heat raced through my veins as my body ached to be closer to her. “I’m going to spend the rest of my life showing you how happy you make me, Pax.”
Her skin flushed, and her smile left me dizzy and breathless.
I guided her gently down on the blanket, our gaze never breaking. Slowly moving my hands down her jeans, I pulled her boots off one at a time. The way she was staring had my heart racing.
“When we were apart, Pax, I felt so lost. Every little thing I saw reminded me of you. Not a day went by when I didn’t think about you. The only thing that kept me going was Chloe.”
Paxton’s hand came up to the side of my face. Her eyes were a window into my own soul. I knew she had felt the same way.
“I will never be lost again because when I’m with you…” I paused as I pulled her jeans and panties down and off her legs. I licked my lips as I ran my fingers along her soft beautiful skin. Her body trembled, and I couldn’t help my smile. I spoke again after getting my emotions in check. “When I’m with you, I feel whole. And so utterly happy I want to shout it from the highest place I can find.”
She smiled as she reached for my T-shirt and pulled it over my head. I followed her lead, pulling her up and removing her shirt. My fingers traced along her bra and her body erupted in goosebumps. I slid my hand behind her and unclasped her bra in one quick movement.
“You’re a little too good at that Mr. Parker,” she said with a stern look.
“Well you see, I had this hot girlfriend in high school, and I used to take her bra off all the time. She had the most perfect set of tits that I needed them in my hands all the time. Practice made perfect, I guess.”
She playfully pushed me away with a totally fake stern look. I stood and kicked off my boots and took off my own jeans. Her brows lifted and her lips pressed tightly together as I stood before her naked.
“You better hope your daddy doesn’t come driving up.”
Lowering my body, I pulled her to me, causing her to let out a small scream. “I paid Trevor hefty to not let anyone near until the sun dips below those hills.”
“Is that so? What were you planning on doing up here with me?” she asked. Her nose scrunching up in the most adorable way.
“Isn’t it obvious, Paxton? I’m going to make love to my girl as the sun sets.”
Her smile faded and her eyes glistened. “That’s the same thing you said to me the first time we were up here.”
Running my nose over her jaw line, I lifted my head and kissed her forehead. “I know. I remember.”
Her arms wrapped around my neck, pulling me closer to her body. I could feel the heat between her legs as she drew me close.
“Baby, I need to get a condom,” I spoke against her lips.
She nodded, letting go of me. Turning, I grabbed my jeans and fished one out my wallet—only one left, but that was all I needed.
I tore it open, quickly covered my dick, and moved back over her. I teased her entrance with my tip while pressing my lips to hers.
