“Okay,” I rasp.
“Okay.”
And he devours me. His thick fingers slip past the strip of fabric between my legs, and his fingers and mouth do all the talking while I meet the stars.
Chapter 25
Cooper
Idon’tknowwhenor how, but she’s going to be my wife one day.
My mind has been filled with nothing but Mae. A little part of me feels extremely guilty for it because my focus should be on Naomi, and the situation with Rebekah.
I can’t help it that my brain keeps bringing her up.
What is a man supposed to do when he’s weak for his woman?
I puff out a breath and go back to the text I started to Rebekah. I decided they need to have another interaction when I’m present. It’s not because I think Rebekah will hurt Naomi physically. That has never been the case. But I want to make sure Naomi is comfortable. Though I have to admit, Rebekah seemed more nervous than Naomi.
I text Rebekah that I’d like her to come over again, and she agrees immediately.
We set up a date and time, and then my mind slides right back to Mae and last night.
Cooper: What are you doing?
Bubbles pop up and then disappear. It’s difficult for me to understand why any man would have turned a woman like her down. It makes no sense. I’m already on my knees and we only got past third base.
The way we left things last night was nothing short of incredible.
Mae: Working in excel …. the bane of my existence
Cooper: Sounds sexy
Mae: HUGELY
Cooper: lol, you’re funny
Mae: So I’ve been told
Cooper: Is it too soon to say I missed you?
Mae: I mean, it’s been less than 24 hrs since you’ve seen me so arguably yes, but …
Cooper: But
Mae: I miss you too, but I wasn’t going to be the first one to admit it
I smile so hard my cheeks hurt staring at my phone. I like that she wants to be around me. It will probably help me on my mission to get her to stay.
Last night while I lay in bed, dazed and drunk on the scent of Mae, I came up with a plan. It is crazy. I admit that, but getting her to agree to stay in Paxton will also prove that there is something so real between us, it’s tangible.
Cooper: I’m happy to be the first to admit it
She types again, then it disappears, then bubbles pop up again. Her indecision is clear on the screen, and I have no idea what to expect.
Mae: I can’t stop thinking about last night
Cooper: Which part …
