Someday. Someday, Arabella would be my wife.
But not today.
“I’m not teaching classes for the next few semesters. At least, not in-person classes. I signed up to take charge of the online portion classes and will be shaping that program over the next year.”
“Uhhh…what?”
If anything, she looked more confused, and I leaned down to kiss the lines between her brows. “I also booked a one-way ticket to go with you on your travels…if you’ll have me.”
“What?” she practically screeched.
Her eyes stretched wide, and I held my breath, waiting for a reaction beyond shock. The point-two seconds of waiting could have been an eternity of standing on the edge of a cliff, unsure if I’d fall to the side with a net or free-fall into nothing.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” She did screech that time.
“Umm…no?”
Tears filled her eyes, and I imagined all the possibilities but one, pessimism at its best.
“Yes!” she finally shouted. “A thousand times, yes.”
“Oh, thank fuck,” I sighed, almost collapsing in relief.
“Did you really think I’d say no?”
“I just know how you like your independence, and we’ve only done short trips together. I honestly wasn’t sure. College is over, and your life stretches like an open canvas ready for you to paint it. Anything can happen—anything can change.”
“Willem…” She studied me and dropped my hands only to wrap them around my neck and burrow them in my hair to pull my mouth to hers. I relished in the reassurance her lips offered, fed from her confidence when mine somehow vanished. “I love you.”
God, I’d never tire of hearing her say it. “I love you, too.”
“If life is a canvas to be painted, then I want you to paint it with me. Who knows what it will turn out to be, but as long as you’re with me, then it will be perfect.”
“Yeah?”
“Hell, yes,” she shouted.
Her mouth crashed to mine, only to jerk back so she could jump in excitement. If there was one thing I learned around Arabella, it was to always be prepared, so I was ready when she jumped in my arms—but I still let her topple us to the couch.
Her dress rode up, and I drug my hands up her toned thighs, groaning at finally feeling her under my touch.
“Oh, thank god. I was so worried,” she muttered between kisses.
“About what?”
“How the hell I was going to survive without your cock. I was going to put to the test if someone could die from sexual starvation.”
I barked a laugh that quickly morphed to a moan when she bit her way down my neck. “We couldn’t have that.”
“No. In fact, I’m pretty hungry right now, Dr. Deander.”
I drove my hand in her hair, fisting it tight to tug her back—taking control. “What are you hungry for?”
“You.”
With a growl, I stood and laid her out on the floor, roughly shoving her dress up only to find her pussy bare.
“Yes,” I hissed, ripping my pants open and wasting no time to bury myself between her thighs with a simple promise. “Just for a little while. I have to pack.”
“Just for a little while,” she agreed.
But we both knew it was a lie because it was a long while before we got up from that floor and even longer before we put any clothes on.
Exactly how I liked it.
