My Favorite Mistake ( Tahoe Nights 2)

“I want this. The two of us together. A long distance relationship will be hard, but I believe we can do it.” She smiled at him.

“I know we can do it.” He kissed her again, unable to stop himself. “You know, I’ve always wanted to open another store. I wonder if I could find a location somewhere in the Sacramento area.”

Her mouth dropped open, and she gave a little slap to his chest. “You’re joking.”

“I’m dead serious. I need to do some marketing research first but…yeah.” And he was serous. This was perfect. He could eventually open another store, be closer to Julie.

It was everything he wanted.

Her smile grew, and she slowly shook her head. “I think that sounds wonderful. I think all of this is too good to true.”

“Believe it, baby.” He nuzzled the side of her face, dropped a kiss at the top of her cheek. “It’s happening.”

“Tyler…” She breathed deep, as if she could breathe him in. “You’re too good for me.”

“You’re perfect for me. We’re perfect for each other.”

Withdrawing from him, she stared deep into his eyes, as if she could look into his very soul. “Are you sure we’re not being stupid? Moving too fast? I mean, this was just one weekend together. It might not all be…”

“Real? This, what we share, is definitely real.” He pulled her close, not wanting to lose contact with her. She was starting to be too rational, and there was no room for rational in this situation. For once, rather than think it through like he usually did, he wanted to just go with his gut. “We’re not moving too fast. When things feel right, then they’re going to be right. I know this won’t be perfect, but I have a feeling it’s going to be pretty damn good.”

“You know what, Tyler?” Hope lit within him at the sound of her voice, and he kissed her temple, his lips lingering upon her soft skin. The fragrance of her hair enticed him beyond reason, and he closed his eyes, overwhelmed with emotion for this woman. “I have a feeling it’s going to be pretty damn good too.”

He never had a doubt.
