Page 11 of Falling for my Mountain Man

I threw my head back with laughter. “Who knew the grump could be so funny.”

“Not me.” Hutch smiled wolfishly before pulling me in for a kiss. “I might have dessert waiting for you, too.”

“Ooh, really? Like chocolate cake?”

“No. Me silly.” Hutch made a face and I couldn’t help but giggle. He was so adorable and endearing.

“Aww, yes, I want you as dessert. Every night.”

“Every night? I was that good?”

“Oh yes, baby, you were that good. Like call my best friend good.”

“Then why haven’t you called her?”

“Maybe I’m not done with you yet.” I traced a heart outline on his chest with my free hand.

“Good. We have all night. And plenty of pizza.” Hutch winked.

We cuddled for a few minutes when Hutch’s hands started roaming. It took little for us to be making out again, his cock hard once more.

This time, I got on all fours, and Hutch fucked me from behind, not stopping until we both found our release together. We eventually came up for air and had more pizza before having sex on the kitchen table.

Then the couch.

And finally, back in his bed.

Least to say, we got little sleep that night.

The next morning, Hutch took me into town for a hearty breakfast at the local diner. Afterwards, I needed to check out of my cabin, as I was unable to stay any longer since they booked the place out the rest of the week.

“I could stay at the town inn. Or find another cabin available?” I mused over my stack of chocolate chip pancakes.

“No way. You’ll stay with me.”

“Hutch…that’s too much to ask.”

“No, it’s not. There’s no question. You’re staying in town longer for me, and the least I could do is give you a place to stay. Besides, you belong in my bed. With me. Next to me.”

Inside, I cheered. I wanted to stay with him. I was hoping he would say that.

As the week continued, he got back to working on his cars and I caught up on a few business to-dos, with a vacation away message now set on my store. No point in letting the orders pile up when I couldn’t get to them yet. We spent the nights in each other’s arms and when the weekend rolled around, I knew without a doubt I was in love with him.

So how could I leave?

“We might as well talk about the elephant in the room.” Hutch said over dinner, his face etched with sadness. “I don’t think I can watch you leave and be okay, Rogue. I…I…I love you.” He came around the table and gathered me in his arms. “But I understand if you need to get back to your life.”

I shook my head as the tears fell. “You’re my life now, Hutch. I can’t imagine it any other way. I love you, too.”

Hutch leaned back and took my face in his hands. “So you’ll stay? Move in with me?”

“Yes,” I smiled through my tears. “Of course. If you’ll have me.”

“Always.”
