Five days later

“It will keep us safe from the storm,” Tulip said.

Landon gritted his teeth.

The paint peeled away from the walls and the bed was a mess. Housekeeping hadn’t even bothered to make it, and clearly the last couple to stay here were busy.

He opened up his case and threw down one of the spare blankets, covering up the mess. For the last five days, they’d been traveling. Rick had warned him men would be following him to keep him safe. They still had no way of taking the bounty from his head and having Tulip with him, well, he’d never known fear quite like this.

“I’m sorry.”

Tulip spun to face him. “Why are you sorry?”

“You deserve better than this. I should be giving you jewels, fancy hotels, a life worthy of being by my side.”

“Hey, hey, don’t get pissed about this.” She cupped his face. “I chose this life with you. Rick told me it wasn’t going to be easy. That we couldn’t afford luxury. I hate to break this to you, but this is a beautiful place.”

“You’re joking.”

“I’ve lived in some shitty places, Landon. Believe me, this is in the top five of better places to be.”

“That has to be a lie.”

“No lie.” She kissed him. “What will determine how good this place is is a hot shower.” They’d been traveling for two days, only having toilet breaks as they got as far from the Denton family home as possible. Rick had returned his cell phone. He hadn’t put a call to Tamsin. He wouldn’t put it past his uncle to be monitoring his calls.

Tamsin also hadn’t called him. It didn’t worry him too much. She didn’t call every single day either to check in or otherwise.

“See, this place is a dream,” Tulip said, coming back to grab his hand. “We have a shower. It’s only warm water but it’s not dirty water.” She started to strip out of her clothes and even as he wanted to sob, watching her get naked was one of his favorite things to witness.

She stepped up close to him and started to remove his clothes. “I see you’re going to need a little taking care of,” she said.

“I don’t mind you putting those hands on me, Tulip.”

“Everything out of your mouth sounds dirty.”

“That’s because you inspire me and I like it. A whole lot of it.” Landon ran his hands down the curves of her ass, pulling her tight against him. He could get used to this, really fucking used to it. Pressing his face against her neck, he breathed her in, relishing every single scent of her, the touch, the taste.

After stepping into the shower, he moved between her thighs, stroking her clit and feeling how wet she already was for him. Kneeling down in the shower, he lifted up her leg and tasted her once again. He’d never get enough of her. She was the best thing he’d ever had in his mouth. Licking up and down her slit, he plunged into her. Her screams came as he continued to tease her with his tongue.

The torture was clearly getting to be too much for her, but he didn’t care as he got her off quickly, swiftly. He needed to be inside her before he took his next breath. Sliding into her pulsing pussy, he closed his eyes once he was seated at the hilt deep within her. There was no greater pleasure in the world than feeling her wrapped around him, her pussy, her arms, everything. She was fucking beautiful.

In and out of her, he thrust, wanting to feel her come again. Sliding his fingers back between her thighs, he stroked her clit, feeling her tighten around his length, letting him know she was close to a second orgasm.

“Landon, please,” he said.

“I know, baby, I know.”

He got her off and as her screams echoed in the room, he found his release. Holding her tight against him, he pressed his lips against hers and smiled. “You’re really something, you know that? I love you more than anything in the world.” Every chance he got, he told her how much he loved her. Not once did she tell him, but that was okay. He didn’t imagine it was easy for her to admit her feelings.

He could wait. He had time.
