Fighting for Love (Boston Love 2)

With a quick kiss on her lips, I jumped off the bed and handed her the small bag I had packed and given to Wes to bring.

She climbed off the bed, the whole time smiling the most beautiful smile I’d ever seen. It looked like her skin was glowing.

I pulled a T-shirt over my head and looked for the pump to fill up the mattress.

When I glanced over my shoulder, my dick jumped as I watched Rory slip into her jeans—no panties at all—and pull them over that perfect ass of hers. “I hope we’re not planning on doing any hiking.”

“Why’s that?” I asked while I finished off filling up the mattress. Turning to face her, I saw her attempting to hide a grin.

“You didn’t pack me any shoes.”

I was puzzled. “Shoes?”

Rory busted out laughing as she reached down and held up the heels she had worn last night. “This is all I have! I don’t have any other shoes.”

My heart dropped. “Fuck me.”

Her teeth sunk into her lip. “I’m up for that again!”

She covered her mouth to stifle a laugh, but lost the battle. I let out a string of curse words. “I can’t believe I forgot fucking shoes!”

“Well, at least you remembered my toothbrush!”

“What size do you wear?”

With a shrug, she replied, “Seven, seven and a half. Depends on the shoe.”

“Perfect! Angie wears a seven and a half.”

She let out a small scream and clapped her hands. I felt my chest squeeze a little. Damn, I love this girl.

Walking up to her, I turned and glanced back over my shoulder. “Hop on.”

Her brows lifted. “Come again?”

“Jump on. I’ll give you a piggyback ride.”

“Where to?” she asked with a chuckle.

“The house.”

A look of horror spread over her face. “How close are we to your parents’ house?” Her hands slammed against her mouth. “Oh. My. God. They’re going to know we had sex!”

I stared at her with a look of disbelief. “Um, I’m pretty sure my parents know we’re doing the deed.”

She slapped my chest, then quickly wrapped her hair around and twisted a piece of something in some magical way that kept it up in a ponytail. “I haven’t even brushed my teeth! Or washed my face! You want me to just wander up to your parents’ house on your back…with no shoes?”

With a shrug, I answered, “Yeah. What’s the problem?”

She glared at me for a good minute before she burst out in a laughing fit. I had no idea what was so damn funny. All I knew was I loved the sound of Rory’s laughter and the way it rushed over my body and settled right in the middle of my heart.

It didn’t take long for me to start laughing right along with her, until I finally asked, “Why are we laughing?”

Wiping her tears away, she shook her head slightly. She placed her hands on my chest and grabbed my T-shirt. “Finn Ward, I need you to know I’ve never loved like this before. And it’s not just me loving you. It’s the way you’ve made me love life. The stolen moments that only the two of us will ever know about. The memories I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.”

I lifted my hand and tucked a strand of her brown hair behind her ear. “We’re going to make so many more memories, Éan.”

Her eyes searched my face, and she swallowed hard. “I love you, Finn. Thank you for bringing me to life.”
