“I think she knew.” Easton casts me a look. “I can’t be sure, but...” He shrugs. “She’s just an amazing person, you know? Finding ways to take care of you, without making you feel like a charity case.”
I look away, not wanting him to see the way my eyes start to water. I feel like there's more going on between my mom and Easton. I want to ask, but it’s none of my business. She always saw him as one of her own and welcomed him with open arms. I know she was hurt, too, when he was no longer in my life.
I’m going to have to thank her and give her a big fucking hug the next time I see her.
Part of me wants to bring him to family supper tonight, but this is the only free night we have this next week, and I’d rather spend it just him and me.
“Let’s go get something to eat, I’m starving.”
The rest of the morning goes great. We eat, finish the clothes, and then change before heading out.
“You were right,” Easton says, looking down at his outfit. “They look great together. I thought your shoes weren't going to fit, but they do.”
“You look good enough to eat.” I slowly and shamelessly eat him up with my eyes.
“Stop looking at me like that, or we’re never going to leave this house.” He growls, low and husky, making me shiver with delight.
“I mean, I don’t have an issue with that.” I give him a playful grin.
“Get going.” He laughs, pushing me out the bedroom door.
“Hey, don’t rush me. You don’t even know where we’re going,” I point out.
We head downstairs and out of the house to my car. As soon as we're inside the car, he turns to me. “Did I tell you how fucking sexy you look in navy?” he asks, eyes darkening with desire.
“Now I think it’s you who has to stop looking at me like that, or I’m gonna drive us some place into the middle of nowhere and fuck you in the backseat of the car.”
“Fucking hell,” he groans, shifting in his seat, adjusting his dick. “Can we?”
“For your first time, no.” I chuckle, pulling away from the house. “But next time.” I grin.
The drive is nice. The windows are down, music playing. I keep catching Easton looking at me, unable to stop smiling every time we lock eyes.
I’ve never felt like this before with anyone else.
We’ve only just gotten together, and I can say with complete sincerity that this relationship will be the best one I’ve been in. And I’m hoping it will be the last.
Forever is too soon, but I know I could see it with Easton.
We still have some things to work through, it’s new, and we’ve been gone from one another's lives for years now. But even so, it still feels so right, so natural.
I’m looking forward to every little thing with Easton, getting back the time we lost.
“So, what's the plan?” Easton asks. “If you say some fancy place for dinner and some kind of play, I’m gonna open this car door and roll out.”
I snort a laugh. “Fuck no.” I laugh. “I’m thinking of a greasy burger and a movie. Then I have a surprise.”
“Is it a sexy surprise?" he asks.
“No. That's for later.” I wiggle my brows.
“Not much of a surprise then, is it?” He laughs.
“I mean, it will be with all the things I plan on doing to you tonight.” I bite my lower lip.
“Fucking hell.” He growls, making me laugh.
We pull up to a burger joint I found online. It had great reviews. As soon as we walk in, the smell has us both groaning. “I pray the food is good, because fuck, this smells amazing.”
