He turns over, placing me flat on the bed beneath him. “But I’m your man. The secret privilege doesn’t count with me.”

“Is that so?”

“Yup. Official rule. I just made it up.”

“Well, I’ll have to check the by-laws.”

“Better get on that.”

Laughing, I stare up at him. “You know, before you, I sang about love but I didn’t fully understand it.”

“I never understood it until you, El.”

“But now that I do, I feel an endless supply of inspiration is coming.”

He reaches down and tests the wetness between my legs. “Oh, I can give you plenty of that, baby. In fact, I’d better get to work on that right now.”

“Henley!”

“Shut up and let me love you, Elodie.”

And so I do as I’m told, letting him love me the best way he knows how.

Chapter 25

Henley

Finally Making Plans

“Now I understand why you picked this for our first date.” Elodie is halfway up the wall when she glances down at me and shouts loud enough for me to hear her.

“And why is that?” I can’t hide my smirk because the view from down here definitely doesn’t suck.

“So you could stare at my ass the entire time.”

“Who, me? No way.” I lift my phone from my pocket and snap a picture of her scaling the rock wall, wearing that teal spandex outfit from yoga all those weeks ago. Reaching down, I adjust my dick in my shorts, grateful that the room is empty except for the two of us.

When I originally planned this date, I knew that I wanted to do something with Elodie besides just dinner or a movie. I wanted something unique, something interactive and fun for us to do together, and since the adventure park side of Sky’s the Limit is shut down forthe winter, it gave me the perfect opportunity to give us privacy while having fun together—because if there is one thing this woman has reminded me of, it’s that I can still be a parent and have fun.

The past three weeks have been a blur. Between Elodie traveling back and forth to Nashville and booking recording time with artists lined up to work with her, and the peak of snow season hitting Blossom Peak, we haven’t had much time just the two of us. But now that she’s home for the holidays, I’m going to take full advantage of our days together.

I check the time on my phone and realize it’s later than I thought.

“You’d better hurry up so I can still feed you before the night is over.”

“And what are you gonna feed me?”

“That’s a surprise.”

Elodie reaches the top of the wall and rings the bell. “I did it!”

“Yeah, you did, baby. Now get back down here.”

She pushes away from the wall and slowly slides down the rope that she is attached to in case she falls. Her feet plant on the ground and then she walks over to me, jumping into my arms. “I really loved that.”

I capture her lips with mine. “And I loved watching it.”

“Pervert.”
