Untamed

Turning over onto her stomach, Anna leaned over the edge and wriggled her fingers at him. “Hey, Kellan.”
I pointed to my pants on the ground. “Wanna toss those up here?”
Kellan got a devilish look on his face. “What if I say no?”
Balancing myself on the slanted roof, I shrugged and stood up. “Then I’ll just hop down and get them myself.”
Kellan shielded his eyes with both hands. He needed both of them too…I was an impressive fucker. “Goddammit, Griff. Okay, hold on.” He chucked my pants at me, and leaning out, I caught them.
As I laughed at Kellan turning away from me in disgust, I picked up a foot to put my pants on; knowing I might get lucky later, I’d decided to go commando tonight. Before I could slip them on though, Anna grabbed them away from me. “Not so fast. First you need to kiss me and tell me you’ll love me forever.”
Smiling, I knelt down on the blanket she was lying on. “Mrs. Anna Hancock…you are my best friend, my partner in crime, my reason for living, and the only thing that really matters to me. Forever only scratches the surface of how long I’ll love you.”
I wanted to stab myself in the throat for how sappy I sounded, but I meant every word, and I wanted Anna to hear them. She teared up as she whispered, “I love you too. So much…I never thought I could love anyone this much.”
I leaned down to kiss her. Our lips moved together softly, but the intensity quickly began to build and my body instantly sprang to life. Grabbing my pants out of Anna’s hands, I tossed them over the side of the roof again. We didn’t need them.
I heard about three people cursing my name, but I ignored them all. Anna was the only thing that mattered to me. She was always the only thing that really mattered, and I was never letting her go again.
