“It’s real, wildcat. You’re not ever losing me because I’m never letting you go.” He walks us to the hood of my car and sets me down gently on the front of the vehicle. His hands peel down my leggings and thong, leaving me bare for him. He stands back and looks at me with hooded eyes as they wander over my body. I see him hard and straining in his grey sweats, and my body hums with approval at how good he looks.

“You’re beautiful, Travis,” I softly tell him as he closes the distance between us, stepping between my legs.

“You stole the words right out of my mouth.” He leans down and kisses my neck.

“You were going to tell me how beautiful you are?” I fight a grin that is threatening to escape.

“Very funny, wildcat. I was going to tell you how beautiful you are.” When he starts to suck my neck, I moan and wrap my legs around him. My hands frantically lift his shirt over his head to feel the combination of hard muscles and soft skin. He pushes my tank top down and bares my breasts to him as he tastes and teases me until I’m begging for release.

He reaches between us and frees himself before plunging deep. He groans against my neck as I stretch around him. “Tell me again, wildcat. I need to hear it.”

“I love you, Travis. I’m yours,” I say, knowing exactly what he needs to hear because it’s what I need.

He moans at my words and goes deeper. “I’m yours, wildcat. I love you doesn’t even begin to cover what I feel for you, but I’m going to do my damnedest to show you every single day.”

He grabs my ass and pulls me deeper onto him. I feel the smoothness of the car underneath me as I arch my back andmeet his thrusts. It doesn’t take long before my body goes over the edge, taking him with me as he empties inside of me, our sounds echoing in the night.

He continues to go deep until we both have nothing left to give. His body towers over mine, shielding me from the night air as our breathing becomes normal again. Leaning down, he runs his tongue over my bottom lip before kissing me gently and standing up, pulling me with him. He adjusts his sweats before examining my car.

“What are you doing?” I laugh, reaching for my clothes and getting dressed.

“I was just making sure I didn’t need to get a dent fixed for you,” he laughs. “I think we’re good, though.”

“Even if there were a dent, it would have been worth it. I think I love my car even more now, and I didn’t think that was possible.”

“Same with my bike. You left me with a very good memory.” He grins and wraps me in his arms again. “We better get back. I need to text your brother before he comes looking for me. He wasn’t too happy with me when I left. You’re following me home, right? We can get your phone tomorrow. I want you with me tonight, and I still need to explain everything that went down this evening.”

I nod at him. “I want to be with you, too.”

“Good. Because my other plan was tying you to the back of my bike and kidnapping you.”

“No kidnapping necessary. Although the thought of being tied up to your bike does sound interesting.” I look up at him and try not to grin when his eyes flash with smoldering heat as he thinks about what I just said. He brings me flush against him, and I gasp when I notice he’s rock-hard again.

“Don’t tempt me. Picturing you on my bike, naked and tied up, is making my dick instantly hard. We’re going to have torevisit that later when we have more time.” His devilish grin turns me on all over again, knowing I would gladly do anything this man wanted. My heart and body are his for the taking.

By the timeMaverick and Bella leave, I’m emotionally exhausted from the past few hours. Travis didn’t explain the whole conversation with Addy to them, but they were both satisfied that everything was good and they had nothing to worry about. He did, however, tell them that I’m his girlfriend now and he won’t be going anywhere.

I expected my brother to be a little more hesitant, but he grabbed Travis in a hug and told him it was about time he realized he was in love. Bella didn’t seem shocked at all as she grinned at me before squeezing the life out of me. She told us how happy she was for both of us and how it was about damn time we admitted it. Obviously, our feelings have been showing for a while now, and everyone knew it was just a matter of time before we faced them.

I feel Travis come up behind me, and I’m immediately scooped up in his arms. He walks us to his bedroom as I bury my face in his neck and breathe deeply. I expect him to throw me on the bed, but instead, he sets me down gently and goes to his closet before bringing back a t-shirt. He undresses me like I’m fragile, and he’s afraid he’ll break me.

When he slides the soft t-shirt on, I’m immediately wrapped up in the comfort of him as I breathe him in, a scent I’ve come to crave. “I’m going to get us some water. I emptied a drawer in my bathroom for you and filled it with things you might need, so feel free to use whatever you want.” He kisses me softly on the lips before going to the kitchen.

I walk to the bathroom to freshen up and open the drawer, curious to see what’s in there. My jaw drops when I see all myfavorite products. I pull out my favorite lotion and see my face wash in there, too. He even has feminine products and some very expensive-looking bubble bath. I open the lid and groan as the scent of vanilla and plumeria hits me. Grinning, I quickly wash my face and brush my teeth before slathering on the lotions.

When I walk back out, he’s sitting up in bed, leaning against the headboard. He smiles when he sees me and opens his arms. I practically run to him before climbing up on the bed. Curling up next to him, I lay my head on his bare chest. “Thank you,” I whisper. “You didn’t have to buy all that for me.”

“I know I didn’t have to. I wanted to. I’ve been spying on what you bring over each time you stay, and when we planned this day together with just the three of us, I wanted you to feel like you have a place here, too.”

He runs his hand down my back and lets my hair flow through his fingers. “I want to tell you about Max’s mom. It’s important that you understand and know everything. I don’t ever want there to be secrets between us. I want you to be able to tell me anything.”

“I want that too.” I softly say against his chest.

He takes a deep breath before continuing. “Addy and I met in college our freshman year. I was taking art classes, and she was one of the models they brought in. We instantly had a connection and were inseparable for the next four years. She was full of life and funny, and I had every intention of marrying her one day, but I wanted to make something of myself first. It wasn’t until our last year together that I started to notice a change in her.

“She started to travel a lot more for her work getting modeling gigs in the bigger cities. I completely supported her from the beginning, but then it started to become apparent thatI wasn’t enough for her.” I lay my hand on his heart, and he covers it with his.

“She would be gone weeks at a time and when I would talk to her on the phone, I could tell she was partying too much and would be out of it every night we talked. We would always end up arguing because I would get worried about her, and she would tell me that’s just how it is in LA. This went on for months, and I could feel myself backing away because the girl I loved wasn’t the one I recognized anymore. She was very good at convincing me that everything would go back to how it was once she got her career going.” I squeeze his hand but remain silent as he gets lost in his memories.
