.I wanted ittoo, so badly.Maddison was the final decision-maker, though.I would do what she wanted.It wastime she was given some stability, so the future now lay in her hands. Where will we live? Does Nana still have my room? Maddison asked as she looked at Colt witha concerned look on her face. Nana still has your room and your momma s. They smiled at one another, and I loved how shewas so comfortable with him. I m hoping that uh& his gaze wandered up to meet mine. Well, Iwas thinking that maybe your mom and you would let me find the three of us a house. My heart raced at his words.He wants us to live together? It was like he could read my thoughts,and he reached out and ran his hand up my arm. Not right away, Alex, but soon.Even if you andMaddison live in it while I stay at the apartment.Until we feel we re ready for that step.I just wantMaddison to have a home, a place the two of you can start creating happy memories. My throat ached with the impending emotion.All I could do was nod my head.I still wasn t surehow he had found me, but I was so damn glad I stopped in that small town that night. Chapter Twenty-OneColt I m gonna try to sell it? I know I won t get much, but anything would be better than nothing.I llget another car after I get settled and find a job, a more reliable one. I listened to Alex makearrangements with her dad to sell her old beater.He was worried about her driving it, because itreally was on its last leg.It still sat in my mom s driveway, and I had even thought about junking itmyself.She really did need something safer.Tomorrow morning we had an early flight back to Georgia.We had spent the last few days settingthings up.Kori s mom, Gemma, had set up a couple of interviews for Alex.She has a few friendswho work in the medical field, and with Alex s nursing degree, her prospects were looking good.Alex sat down on the couch next to me, curling her body in to mine.Her hand rested on mystomach, and I placed mine over hers.We had developed a sense of comfort with one another that was now second nature.I had continued to stay at the hotel, out of respect for her parents.They had offered to allow me tostay in their home, but the temptation was too great.With our flight tomorrow so early, I caved and decided to stay in the guest room.I felt like a kidall over again, under the watchful eye of her father.Alex, on the other hand, thought the entire thingwas funny.She continued to touch me and tease me every chance she got.I was beginning to see a new side to Alex, fun and relaxed, a side without fear.It was refreshing.After dinner I took a quick shower and was about to crawl into bed, only to stop in the doorwayabruptly.I was sure my mouth was hanging open in shock and in awe.Alex was lying in the bed, atop the covers.She was wearing a tank top and the tiniest pair ofshorts I had ever seen.One knee was propped up, and her legs were slightly parted.A sly smilespread out over her lips as she twisted her long blonde hair around her finger.My body temperature felt like it had just gone up about twenty degrees. What are you doing? Iasked her, my voice cracking from the intense arousal coursing through me. Thought I would come tuck you in, she whispered.Pulling her body up into a sitting position, shebit her lower lip.She had my blood boiling, and I had images of a surprise attack flooding my mind.Her eyes wereraking over my body, pure lust filling her golden eyes.I stood in the doorway of the joint bathroom,with a towel wrapped around my waist.Alex slowly and very seductively crawled from the bed and began closing the distance between us. You need to go to bed, I sighed.My heart raced with anticipation the closer she came.Her fingertip trailing along my waist just along the edge of the towel caused all rational thought todisappear. You re making it real hard for me to remember we re in your parents house, Alex. They re heavy sleepers, I promise, she whispered while placing kisses along my chest and uptoward my neck.My head was falling backwards as I took in a deep breath. I can t sleep upstairsknowing that you are down here; it s too tempting. The exact reason I had chosen to stay at the hotel.I gripped her hips and pulled her in tightlyagainst me.Sliding my hands around to grip her ass, I lifted her from the floor.She instantly wrappedher legs around my waist and hooked them behind my back.The look in her eyes surely matched mine.Pure desire and uncontrollable need.In three short steps, I had Alex pinned to the bed, pressing my arousal firmly against her.Herneedy moan fueled my drive for more.I covered her mouth with mine in a hungry kiss.Pinning herhands above her head with one fist, I lifted her tank top with the other.Her hips lifted off the mattress, grinding against my erection.A turned-on Alexis was a completesurprise.She was a little feisty and aggressive.I allowed her to flip me over and take her place above me.Straddling my hips, she began rotatingher hips suggestively. Are you sure about this, baby? I asked in between our kisses. Yes, she sighed.Running my tongue over hers, I sucked on the tip gently. I ve never wantedanything more than the way I want you, she assured me. I need you. Our eyes locked in a heated stare.There was no fear, no hesitation.Alex was confident and sexy.I was lost in the sweet torture of her lips on my body.I had never been so turned on, never moreready to share the blissful joy of desire.She was surely mine, from this moment forward.She was giving herself to me without fear.Iwould treasure this gift, and she would never again question her importance to me.I made sure to pace myself, enjoying every dip and curve of her perfection.She was my future.I had not planned for this; I had not expected it
