Hooking Up
Page 71
“For now?”
Her uncertainty and worries aren’t unexpected tonight, so I don’t take them personally. “For as long as it needs to be enough. I don’t ever want you to feel tethered in this life again. I just want to keep your heart safe, baby.”
“When you say things like that you make me believe forever is possible,” she whispers.
“Good.” I brush my lips over hers. “That’s all I want, just you until the end of time.”
She twines her fingers in my hair, her legs wrapping around my waist with a soft laugh. “So totally just a hook-up.”
“Exactly. Just a permanent hook-up.” I break the kiss as I shift between her thighs. “Now I’m gonna love you, and you’re gonna like it.”
Her nose wrinkles, but she’s grinning. “Oh, you think so?”
“Oh, I know so.”
“How are you planning on loving me?”
“Like you’re my forever.”
And she is. No matter what that forever looks like, Amie’s mine, and I’m hers.
