New York, Austin, Los Angeles. Wherever she goes, I go.
A dog on a leash.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way. “I love you too.” I seize her lips in another kiss, pressing her back against the nearest float.
She groans and tunnels her fingers through my hair.
My hands trail over her sides, down to her hips. I went a single night without her, and that was too damn much.
Trinity breaks away from the kiss, her lips red and her eyes glittering. “Brody…I need you.”
I know she doesn’t just mean physically, though I’m more than happy to oblige in that capacity.
No, the heat of her gaze is less sexual and more primal. Possessive.
I’m hers, and she’s mine.
Our noses brush as I rest our foreheads together. “Not as much as I need you.” My hand slides up the back of her shirt, triggering her shiver and gasp.
Now if only?—
“Would you two hurry the fuck up?” Connor’s voice bounces through the open doorway. “I’m starving.”
Trinity pulls back with a laugh, biting her bottom lip in the cutest way.
I’m tempted to tell Connor to piss off, but…
Trinity grabs my hand. “Let’s go.”
Where? Who knows? Or cares?
As long as we’re together, that’s all that matters.
Chapter 42
Trinity
I’ve had so many firsts since I met Brody, I don’t know where to begin.
Running for my life, getting kidnapped, getting shot at.
Forced to hide in a safe house.
My first time having an orgasm from sex with a partner.
First time having sex in public, and my second time, if the car and the train both count.
First time in love.
My first time trusting another person with my whole heart. I’ve been opening up like a pop-up book for this guy.
My first real road trip too. We’re taking our time, visiting places that I’ve never been like Memphis, St. Louis, and now Chicago. It’s lovely. I almost don’t want to get to New York.
For now, I’m paying rent for my place in Austin because breaking the lease would be expensive. I haven’t made any other concrete plans, but I do know one thing. Brodyismy future.
In many ways, the future is already happening.
I see that in the way that he and Connor are truly getting to know each other for the first time since, as Brody put it, they were “climbing trees and catching frogs.”
