Talon groaned, “You’re making me feel like an insecure jerk here, baby.”
I gave him a small smile because I knew he was trying to lighten the heaviness of my emotions right now. “I’m sorry, Talon. That’s not what I’m trying to do. I’m just trying to explain what I want to do with the money.”
“What do you want to do with the money?” he whispered.
“I want to buy a car, pay off my uncle and aunt’s house, send Edie to college, p…pay your…uh, mom’s house off, pay for my college, and then…”
“And then,” he prompted, his voice a low, rough whisper, and I knew I was losing him.
“I was hoping…I wanted to set aside a little for, like a down payment on a house, or something for after we graduated college, and then…set the rest of it up in a trust for our kids. You know, like…they can, I don’t know, access it when they’re thirty…and…” I trailed off.
I felt like a goddamn fool.
“And, what?” he growled, and my chest panged with regret.
“And that way…we could keep the money, but you could still take care of me,” I finished lamely.
“Baby,” he whispered, and suddenly, his hips were pushing my thighs apart, and before I knew it, he was seated deep inside me again.
I threw my head back, and I couldn’t stop the moan that escaped from deep inside me. “Talon…”
“I love you, White,” he panted, his voice a deep rumble. “I love you, baby.”
I wanted to say the words back, but I couldn’t think past Talon’s thrusts into my body. He was robbing me of all thoughts, and besides, he knew I loved him. I didn’t need to tell him right this second. All I could get out was, “Oh, God…”
And then Talon really turned me into an emotional mess when he grunted, “Anything you want, Kenzlee,” his voice strained and husky. “We’ll do whatever you want.” I pushed at Talon’s chest, and he immediately stopped. “What’s wro-”
I sat up forcing him to pull back, and this time, it was my turned to show him how much I loved him. I rolled over until Talon had to fall onto his back, and I straddled his hips, making sure to slide over him until he was seated inside me again.
His hands latched onto my hips. “Fuck, Kenz,” he hissed.
I leaned over him and met his eyes as he fucked me from underneath, and I rode him from above. “I love you, Talon,” I moaned as he kept hitting that sweet secret spot over, and over again. “I love you.”
We didn’t need to say it anymore. We just both held on as we took each other to the edge of indescribable pleasure and satisfaction. We rode each other to ecstasy, and it was enough to make me take moving in with him seriously. It was enough to make me feel reckless and irresponsible. This feeling, right here, was why teenage kids run away together. It’s what they ruin their futures for. Nothing matched the high that being in love gave you.
Nothing.
I dropped on Talon’s chest weightlessly, and I could feel his heart play a tattooed beat in my ear, and it sounded comforting, and soothing.
It sounded like forever.

Talon~
Kenzlee laid on top of me, and I couldn’t have stopped the words even if I tried. “Marry me,” I whispered against the top of her head.
Her entire body stilled, but she didn’t cower away from the question. “Talon, we’re…we’re still in high school,” she reasoned. “We…you live with your mom. I live with my with uncle and aunt. We can’t…how can we be married and live apart?”
I ran my hand up and down her back. My dick was softening, but I stayed lodged inside her, not wanting to move from this spotever. I thought about everything she said, and even I couldn’t argue with her compromise.
Kenzlee wanted to take care of the people she loved, and I was just lucky enough that she counted my family in that small circle of hers. And she didn’t want to throw bills around like she was at a strip club. No. She just wanted to make everyone’s lives a little easier. I couldn’t hold that against her any longer. I couldn’t taint the good she wanted to do with the baggage my father saddled me with.
“How about a comprise?” I suggested, because while she was too noble to blackmail me into accepting her money, I didn’t have a noble bone in my body.
Kenzlee plopped her chin on my chest and looked up at me. “What kind of compromise?”
I smirked. “The kind where I let you do whatever you want as long as you marry me,” I told her honestly, laying it all on the line.
