“Okay, okay,” he says, raising his hands in the air.
His laughter follows him back to the tent.
I finish my business, clean up, and then we start cooking breakfast on the portable stove we brought with us.
We then take a swim in the river, playfully splashing about and kissing in the water.
All good things must come to an end and soon we’re driving back into Perth from down south.
“Did you have fun?” Tee asks me, tilting her head to the side. “I particularly liked the skinny dipping in the river.”
I liked that too.
“Do you even have to ask?” I say with an easy grin. “You looked f**king beautiful in that water.”
Like a mermaid. Or a siren.
Or just the most beautiful woman in the world.
She laughs. “I did show you a good time, didn’t I?”
“Always,” I reply, my lip twitching at her remark. She really is a joy to be around—she’s always laughing or joking. Even when she gets mad, it’s cute as hell. She’s smart, witty with her comebacks, and always has something interesting to say. You never know what will come out of her mouth next.
“Have you ever been to a sex club?”
Just like that.
“No, I haven’t. Why do you ask?” I shift on my seat, my c**k getting hard as those words leave her lips.
Fucking control yourself Saxon.
“Just curious,” she replies casually, shrugging her shoulders. “I like to try everything once.”
This woman…
“I’m not going anywhere where other men get to see you naked or even partially naked,” I tell her in a low tone. “That’s for my eyes only.”
She turns her head to me, blinks a few times then starts laughing.
“What the hell is so funny?”
“Nothing,” she replies. “You. You’re a big cutie.”
I don’t think I’ve ever been called a big cutie in my entire life, and I could have gone without it.
“A big cutie? Seriously?”
She smirks. “I love when you get all possessive, even though you know this isn’t my first rodeo.”
I snap my head to her. “I don’t want to hear about any other man you’ve been with.”
I may end up in prison for killing them.
Wouldn’t that put a damper on our relationship?
“Why? You should thank them because that’s why I’m so good in bed.”
She did not just say that.
My fingers clench on the steering wheel. “You need to stop before I stop this car and show you just who you belong to. It doesn’t matter who had you before, all that matters is that from now on no one else will have you except me. It sucks I wasn’t your first, but it’s even better to know that I’ll be your last.”
She looks at me and raises an eyebrow. “Calm down caveman.”
With her comment, my mood changes and the air lightens around us.
I exhale and flash her a shaky smile. “You make me crazy.”
A soft giggle. “You were already crazy. I think I just intensify it.”
I couldn’t argue with that.
“You intensify everything,” I admit quietly.
Every emotion, every feeling.
Fuck I’m whipped and I don’t even care, I just need her.
*****
“I don’t want to leave,” I murmur into her hair. The last few weeks have passed in a blur, and now it’s time for me to go on tour. Tee will be joining me in a month’s time.
It’s going to be the longest month of my life.
She sits up and the sheet falls down, exposing her bare body. “It’s just a few weeks.”
I groan. “Yeah, I guess.”
The last few weeks have been the best of my life. Tee has given herself to me entirely, without holding back. All her walls are down. I earned her trust and now our relationship is better than I could have envisioned.
There is just one thing running through my mind.
Does absence really make the heart grow fonder? Or is out of sight out of mind more realistic? I know on my end that I don’t want anyone but her, and no other woman can tempt me.
Nothing would be worth losing her.
Nothing.
I can’t get enough of her.
I’m addicted.
That’s not me being pu**y whipped or anything, it’s just me stating a fact.
She’s the one for me.
I don’t know how long distance is going to work for us, and I’m almost scared to find out.
If anything goes wrong…
I sigh and bury my face into her pillow.
“Are you going to feel sorry for yourself or are you going to make love to me before you leave?” she asks in a dry tone. Her hands run up my naked back, her fingers digging into the muscles there.
“That feels so good.”
“You’re so tense,” she mutters, massaging my shoulders. “You’re going on tour with your band, not prison.”
I grin at that. “I know, and I’m excited to go—don’t get me wrong. I’m just gonna miss the hell out of you.”
“Time will go fast, don’t worry,” she says in a soothing tone.
I lift my head up and watch her. “I won’t let anything come between us. Or anyone.”
She raises a dark brow. “Saxon, we will be fine. Just keep your dick in your pants and enjoy the tour.”
After all this she still doesn’t trust me?
“I do trust you,” she says, and I wonder if I spoke out loud. “But it’s just realistic for me, as a woman, to think that you might be tempted. I’m not going to be there, and you will be surrounded by beautiful women.”
