She blushed, and I loved it.
I shifted my weight so I could run my tongue over her tattoo, sucking the skin right at the part where the flowers started. “Why did you get blue flowers?”
“Because they’re the color of your eyes.”
My gaze snapped to hers, my entire body paralyzed. She gotmyeye color on her body? Even when we weren’t friends. My heart thudded so hard it hurt my throat. I loved this woman. I loved her with my entire soul, and I wanted to keep her for the rest of my life. The urge to blurt everything was right there, but I didn’t want to freak her out.
I’d never said those words to anyone and meant them this deeply. Ivy stared at me with her wide green eyes and parted lips, pink and tender, and an animalistic thought intruded.I want her having my babies.
I wanted a million little Ivys everywhere, and I’d dedicate my life to her.
It made me breathless, and instead of freaking me out, my life suddenly made sense. The piece I’d been missing the last three years? Ivy.
“You are my favorite person,” I whispered, kissing up her stomach to her mouth. I slid my cock back inside her, going slow and shuddering at how good she felt.
She kissed me back and wrapped her legs around me. I sucked her neck, wanting to taste her sweat and skin, and my body vibrated with need.I love her. I love her. I love her.
“I love…this,” I whispered, biting her ear before quickening my pace. She arched her hips and released a sexy-as-hell groan. “I want to feel your pussy clench around me, Ivy. You feel so good. So sexy.”
“Callum,” she moaned, running her hands frantically over my back, shoulders, and head. “I’m gonna…”
“Come for me.”
She shook, thrashing on the sheets as she screamed my name over and over. Each clench of her pussy drew me near the edge, and when she gripped my hair and tugged me closer toward her, I lost it.
“Ivy, baby,” I groaned, resting my forehead on hers as the orgasm hit me like a damn tornado. Thoughts didn’t matter. Breathing wasn’t important. I held onto her as pleasure unlike anything I had ever felt gripped me. I floated between realms, the scent of my girl grounding me.
“Wow.”
I opened my eyes and found my favorite color green staring back at me. Happiness radiated from her, and I kissed her nose. “Unreal. Thank you for trusting me.”
“That’s the thing, Callum.” She played with my hair with a cute little smile on her lips. “I do trust you. Implicitly now. I know you’ll take care of me, which sometimes means pushing me out of my comfort zone.”
“I’ll always make sure you’re okay.” I kissed her forehead, the weight of her words settling over my soul.She trusts me.“That means so much to me, you saying that.”
“I know. That’s why I wanted to say it out loud. I’m… in this, all in. No lingering doubts or uncertainties.”
“Good.” I slid out of her and lifted her up, taking my time running my hands over her body. “If you feel a second of doubt, you tell me, okay? I’ll drop whatever I’m doing to rectify it.”
“How are you even real?” She snorted and chewed the side of her mouth. “Every time I even have a second of hesitation, you know exactly what to say.”
“Because I know what it feels like to not have you in my life, and I won’t do that again.”And because I love you.
“Mm.” The sides of her eyes crinkled, and two small dimples appeared on her cheeks.
I was obsessed with those dimples. I poked one, making her giggle. “Promise me.”
“I promise.”
I wrapped my arms around her, feeling like I could freaking fly. I knew I needed to leave, to go grab my shit in the assigned room. I should head down to eat breakfast with Dean or something. But I couldn’t leave. I didn’t want to stop touching her. Obsessed. That was what I was. “Do you need help packing? Or loading the bus?”
“No. You should go.” She grabbed my chin and pulled me in for a quick kiss. “Go pretend you slept in your room.”
“I don’t wanna.”
She shoved me away, rolling her eyes. “Remember, no one can find out about this. So there’s no helping me when it comes to football. You wave at me, and that’s it.”
“Alright, but do you have plans tonight? Can we hang?”
