Because I knew that was what I had to do.

But Tanner stepped into my room and closed the door behind him. “So, you’re going to your sister’s?”

I shrugged as I tossed one of my shirts into my luggage. “Better than staying here with this craziness. I’m surprised you can hear threats coming with how much everyone fights around here.”

He chuckled as he came up behind me. “What if I told you that I never stopped loving you either?”

I froze. “Don’t you dare repeat those words just because—oh!”

He gripped my hips and whipped me around before cloaking my back with his arms. “I’m not just repeating them, Summer. I mean them. And you can ask anyone else around here if you don’t believe me.”

My eyebrows rose. “You’re being serious.”

His face came closer to my own. “As a heart attack.”

“Oh, Tanner,” I whispered.

“Please, don’t go,” he murmured.

The second his lips connected with mine, I was transported to another realm. I slid my arms around his neck as he guided me to the bed, pressing his body between my legs. I pushed his jacket off his shoulders. I locked my legs around him and felt his girth growing against his jeans. And as our tongues dusted off the dance from our youth, our teeth clattered with the force of our kisses.

Before our clothes came off in a flurry.

“Holy shit,” I whispered.

He nibbled at my neck. “Not the scrawny kid you remember, huh?”

My hands rumbled down the muscles of his back. “Jesus Christ, take me any way you wish.”

He growled as he pinned my hands above my head, our bodies clad in nothing but its skin. His lips crashed against mine while the tip of his cock caught against my entrance, and when he pushed inside, my back arched with pleasure. Electricity shot through my veins, sizzling my muscles to their very core. And as my body molded to him—as my hips bucked against his ravenously—I lost myself in the warmth of his muscles as he fell on top of me.

Pounding against me like a wild animal.

“I love you so much,” he growled.

I raked my fingernails down his back. “Don’t stop. Holy shit, please, Tanner. Don’t ever stop.”

My toes curled and my mind fell blank as his lips wrapped around my pert nipples. I slid my fingers through his disheveled hair as his tongue lapped and pressed against my puckered peaks. He sucked them between his teeth as if he were about to have a little snack, and the second my walls caved around him, his cock pulsed within me.

“I’m coming! I’m coming! I’m coming!” I choked out.

Then, he pulled back and slammed into me before his body unleashed.

“Jesus fuck, Summer. So tight for me. Oh, yeah.”

I collapsed against the bed. “I love you so much.”

He collapsed against me, his cock filling me to the brim. “I love you too, Summer.”

As his body cloaked my own, I stared up at the ceiling. His soft kisses dotted my bare shoulder and I closed my eyes, committing every single second of it to memory. I moaned softly as he kissed down the valley of my breasts. He traced my stretch marks with his tongue while his hands danced along the peaks and dips of my curves.

I never wanted the moment to end. I didn’t want us to part only to have to get on the road and put all of this behind us. I wanted more moments like this one. I wanted the life with him that we had promised one another back when we were children.

I still dreamed about that life.

And if he was willing to have me, I was willing to put in the work in order to build it.

Feeling him panting against me was the highlight of the entire moment. Not because we were finished, but because it was a moment of weakness that Tanner always allowed me to be privy to. He worked hard for my pleasure, always, and to feel him collapse against me made me feel as if he trusted me with his vulnerability.

But when his cock stiffened inside of me again, he slowly pushed himself back up.

“Ready for round two?” he asked with a grin.

I giggled breathlessly. “I don’t know if I can even move after something like that.”

He gripped my ankles and tossed them over his shoulders. “That’s okay. You can just lay there.”

“Tanner, just give me a—oh, holy fuck.”

He sank deeply into me. “I see some things never change.”

I panted softly for air. “Like the fact that you push my limits?”

He folded me in half as his lips danced along the shell of my ear. “Like the fact that you still like it when I do.”

I groaned. “Don’t stop.”

He pulled back and slammed into me, causing my eyes to widen. His lips captured my own, swallowing my groans and moans as my juices dripped down his balls. He pinned my wrists back above my head once more, but instead of holding them down he threaded our fingers together.
