My cock’s as hard as this ancient oak, and this time, I’m going to sink it so deep inside her, I’ll plant a seed in her belly.
My hands tear at her clothes until the only scrap of clothing left is her open blouse, protecting her back against the bark of the tree.
I pause for a moment to admire my woman. “You’re so fucking perfect.”
She smiles and reaches for me, pulling my briefs over my aching cock. It sticks out straight at her, finding its target.
“So are you.”
She draws me to her, and my dick slots into the gap between her legs. Her pussy juice coats my cock, and she’s wet and hot, and I need to be in her right now.
I hook my hand over her thigh and lift it up while tilting her hips upward. My cock rests at the entrance to her pussy, and she moans, pushing her hips forward until the tip slips in.
Heat and pressure threaten to overwhelm me, and I groan out her name.
My gaze finds hers, and her eyes are wide with desire and emotion that matches my own. She’s fucking perfect. My calm place, my strength, my hope. She’s my future.
“I love you, firefly.”
“I love you, too.”
My chest aches with all the feelings inside, and I thrust hard into her. Lexi cries out my name, and I pull her toward me, impaling her on my cock.
We make love under the tree in the shadow of the mountain before exploding together.
As we hold each other close, whispering about our future, peace as I’ve never felt before descends over me.
Fate drew me to Lexi’s bonfire, but her flame ignited my love for her. And it’s a flame that will never go out.
EPILOGUE
AIDEN
One week later …
Apickup pulls up in front of Lexi’s property, and Sam jumps down from the passenger seat while Dean gets out of the driver’s side. He throws back the cover and pulls out a weed whacker, a chainsaw, and various other tools from the bed.
Lexi comes out of the house carrying a wooden chair in her gloved hands and dumps it in the large dumpster that’s out front.
Sam grins at her and holds out his hand. “You must be Lexi. I’m Sam, and this is Dean.”
I hurry over to them and slide my arm around Lexi’s waist as she shakes their hands, staking my claim to my buddies.
Dean raises an eyebrow at me and shakes his head before asking, “Where do you want us to start?”
Lexi’s eyes go wide, and she turns to me. “Did you organize this?”
“Sure did. There’s more help arriving, so tell the men what you need them to do.”
Lexi stares at me for a moment, then snaps into action. “I need this yard cleared, and I need help inside chucking out the furniture.”
They both don pairs of thick gloves, and Sam grabs the weed whacker while Dean follows her inside.
Lexi turned down Victor’s offer from his mystery client, but he came back the next day with a higher offer.
Still, she doesn’t want to sell to them. She wants to sell to Joel so he can extend Jake’s Retreat, only he needs time to get the funds together. So in the meantime, we’re clearing the land as much as we can and going through her father’s things. There’s not much to save, hence the dumpster.
Today I’ve organized a working bee. We’ll tackle the undergrowth, clear the forest paths, and try to find the original boundary markers. Mark’s been sifting through old land registry notices for us to see if there’s any information there that might help determine why and who moved them, although I’ve got a pretty good idea.
