“What would you like to drink?” she asks.

“Just grab me a water, baby.” I say walking out to the deck, setting both the plates down on the table then pulling out her chair before she takes a seat.

“It’s so nice out,” she says, looking out at the water that the sun has just began to set over.

“Ben and Rhonda stopped by while you were sleeping. They said they would be by in a couple days,” I tell her, watching as she nods, fills her spoon, and takes a bite.

“Did you tell them what happened?” she whispers, sounding unsure and sad.

“Look at me, Lea,” I say, waiting for her gaze to meet mine. “I didn’t tell them, but you have no reason to feel embarrassed. They’re your friends and are worried about you. You scared them yesterday.”

She nods and lowers her gaze again. “I’m going to ask Rhonda if she knows anyone in town that I can talk to.”

“I think that would be good, baby,” I agree softly.

“My mom told you what she did, didn’t she?” she asks, while her eyes are glued on the view.

“She did.” I agree feeling my fist tighten around the spoon in my hand.

“When?” she prompts and I drop my spoon and place my hand on her thigh. “Is that why you changed your mind about me, about us?” She asks softly turning to look at me with fresh tears in her eyes.

“We were inevitable, Lea. Even if your mom would have kept her secret, I eventually would have gone after you.”

“But—” Her bottom lip trembles as I shake my head.

“There are no buts.” I run my thumb over her lips. “When I saw you out with Keith, I wanted to beat the shit out of him, then I wanted to follow you into the bathroom and fuck you until you told me that you were mine.”

“Oh,” she mumbles, looking adorable.

“It’s always been you Lea. There has never been anyone else for me but you.”

“I’m sorry I left you.” She whispers and I get up from my chair and crouch down in front of her holding her face gently in my palms.

“You have nothing to be sorry about. Sometimes bad shit happens so that you know when you have something good and don’t take it for granted. I wish we didn’t miss out on so much time baby but we cant change that now, now all we can do is work on building a future together and making every moment count.” I tell her wiping away her tears as they fall.

“I wont leave you again.”

“It wouldn’t mater if you tried because you wouldn’t get far.” I say and she shakes her head and I watch her lips tip up in the corners.

“We good?” I ask and she nods once. Tugging the underside of her chin forward I kiss her softly muttering. “Eat, baby,” against her lips before moving back to my chair.

By the time we’re finished eating, the sun has sunk below the horizon, casting a glow across the deck, so I lead her inside, putting our dishes in the sink on the way, then take her to the wall of windows in the living room and wrap my arms around her.

“This is where we were meant to end up.” I kiss the skin behind her ear. “You, with me.” I run my hands down her arms and intertwine her fingers with mine, lifting them up and placing them on the window in front of us, leaving them there as I run my hands down her sides then around to cup her breasts. “We fit perfectly together,” I murmur, licking along her neck, stopping at her ear, biting down on her earlobe while my fingers slide down then up and under her top, cupping her breast where I pull her nipples, causing her to moan and her ass to press back into me. “This is us.”

I lean back and look at us in the reflection of the glass as my hand slides down inside her panties, through her wet folds, and zeroes in on her clit, causing her eyes to go half-mast. “Do you feel that, baby?” I ask, tugging her nipple.

“Yes…” she hisses, wrapping her arm around the back of my neck and tilting her head farther to the side, giving me full access to her neck, where I lick and pull her skin. “Austin,” she whimpers as my fingers slide in, filling her while my thumb slides over her clit in fast circles.

The muscles of her pussy start to convulse as she screams my name. My cock throbs as her body goes limp against me, and I remove my fingers, bringing them to my mouth, sucking them clean. Turning in my arms she runs her tongue over my bottom lip, pulling it with her teeth. Then, drops to her knees in front of me. When her eyes meet mine, she licks her lips, pulling down on my sweats, then wraps her hand around me. Dropping her eyes to my length as she pumps up and down, her gaze then meets mine again as her small pink tongue comes out, licking the drop of precum from my tip.
