He kisses my neck and rolls us, so hisbody is blanketing mine. He’s still inside me.
“Kate, I want more.” He breathes into myskin. “Every time we make love, it only gets better. I always want more.”
“Then Stay.” I run my heels up his legs,wrapping them around his hips, pulling him deeper inside me.
He rocks lazily into me. I let my handsroam, gliding them down his chiseled back, squeezing his toned ass, scratchingmy nails along his muscled arms and shoulders. “You’re so perfect.” I utter,kissing his cheek. I’m in awe. Out of so many beautiful women in this world,Coulter Holt chose me. Cole’s thrusts become fevered, and I fall again. Beautifulsensations shooting through my body as another orgasm rocks through me. Colefalling with me.
Cole wakes me up just after seven whenhe’s dressed and ready to leave for work. I walk him up to the elevator to saygoodbye.
“Bye baby. Luke will be here just beforenoon with the SUVs.” He gives me a wet kiss on the mouth.
“I love you.” I wrap my arms around himpulling him to me in a fierce hug. His arms come around me and he lifts me offthe ground crushing me to him.
“And I love you.”
Tears streak down my cheeks, I don’t wantto let go. I want him to stay with me to be the buffer between me and my mom. Hehas thingsheneeds to get done, and I think he’s had enough of my mother for the time being.
“Don’t cry baby. It will be okay. Focuson all the good things.”
Cole sits me down, wrapping his handsaround my face wiping my tears away with his thumbs.
“Focus on the good.” I nod.
“If you need anything I’m only a phonecall away.”
“Okay, have a good day,” I say trying tosmile.
Cole gives me a couple more kisses thenbacks up, getting on the elevator. He gives me his tooth-paste-ad smile. Oh,that smile. I want to put my hand out to stop the elevator from closing anddemand that he stays here with me, but I don’t. Instead, I smile back and winkat him. After the doors close, I let my shoulders slump. I really hope watchinghim leave for work will get easier. It’s heart wrenching, but that could bebecause my mother, aunt, cousin, and grandmother are here.
My stomach grumbles in severe protest,helping me to momentarily forget my woes and concentrate on the fact I needfood. In the kitchen, I pour a large glass of milk and grab the Oreos off thecounter. I crawl into bed with them, eating the entire bag. The entire third ofa bag. I finish the milk and with my stomach full, I manage to roll over andfall asleep.
I wake up to my phone chiming. It’sLaura:Are you awake?
Yes, my bedroom door is unlocked. Comecuddle with me.
On my way, sweet cheeks.
A couple of minutes later, the doorcreaks open. Laura locks it behind her and then jumps into bed, pulling thecovers over her. “Just for the record, I love this villa.”
“Me, too. But it will be nice to settledown and have a permanent place with our own things to call home.”
“What’s in your bed? I feel like I’mlying in gravel.”
“That’d be Oreo crumbs.”
“Oh, nice. Other than the crumbs, thisbed is cozy—I could go back to sleep.”
“I like it. I lost my virginity in thisbed.”
“Ewe, Kate.” Laura laughs.
“At least the sheets are Cole free, sincehe didn’t stay here last night.”
I slowly arch my eyebrows at her.
“Oh, gross.” She pulls the covers off andlies on top of the bed. “No wonder you’re in a better mood this morning.”
“Yeah.”
