Game Changing Rules: The Elites Of Weis-Jameson Prep Academy Book 3
Page 27
My hand slips into his as if it never left. I don’t know what I’m doing. I just start walking, urging him to follow by my side. As we walk, I look back and forth between him and the city around me, unsure of which one I want to look at more. The sight of him and the feeling of his flesh…I didn’t know if I’d ever know the feeling of it again. I’m afraid that if I blink or look away for too long, he’ll vanish like a puff of smoke.
But as I look at everything around us, it feels like I’m seeing it for the first time. As if I never really arrived here until this moment, with him taking it all in by my side. We walk down to the beach with the waves dancing around our feet. I’ve looked across this ocean a hundred times by now, but with him next to me, it feels bigger than it has before. And scary almost, like it could burst at any moment and wash me away.
Each time I glance back up at him, towering over me and seeming even taller than before, his eyes stare back. I steady myself in them and wonder if what I was really afraid of the whole time was losing him. All those moments of doubt and mistrust that crept over me relentlessly, constantly demanding to know if I could really count on him, were really just my fears of losing something so great.
When my legs feel like they could give out and the sun starts to hang lower in the sky, I stop and know that it’s time to finally just let myself accept that he’s real. He’s really here and he’s not going anywhere if I don’t want him to.
I lay my head against his chest as his hand raises, pressing his palm against mine. Our fingers mirror against each other, like two halves of flesh becoming whole again. There are a million things to say and do, and even after all this time of just walking and adjusting to him being here, I still don’t know where to start.
“I know,” he smirks, like he can read my mind. “It’s okay. We have the rest of our lives.”
“If we’re lucky,” I smile back.
Finally, he lowers his head and presses his lips to mine. I lose myself in his kiss as his tongue rolls across mine with the same rhythm of the crashing waves behind us. Against all odds, we broke all the rules and found some way to be together.
I take him back to my apartment where he lays me down and makes love to me for hours. It’s pure and gentle and everything I always knew it could be once we finally got away from Jameson. Everything I always thought I saw in him was right there the whole time.
