Chapter 106

Easton

As soon as, "I love you, Easton.

And I promise, 'leaves her mouth, I kiss her.

I kiss her in a way that she'll never forget.

That, in twenty years from now, she'll look back on and remember the power and strength behind it.

The emotion.

The love that I have for this girl.

Goddamn it, she blows my mind.

The moment I pull away, I hear another crack of thunder outside and I know I need to get a fire going in the living room in case we end up losing power.

"Are you hungry? '

I ask, giving her one last kiss.

She shrugs.

"We had a big breakfast. '

She then rolls her eyes.

"Not that I could really enjoy it, deep down I worried she was poisoning us. '

I laugh.

The thought had crossed my mind, too.

I get up from the bed and find her leggings and sweatshirt, tossing both onto the mattress, so she can get dressed.

I put on a pair of grey sweats and a hoodie.

As I turn toward her, I say, "There's stuff for s'mores in the pantry.

Any interest? '

“Ohhh, 'she groans.

"I love those. '

Fuck, she's gorgeous.

She has no makeup on, her hair is a little wild, she's covered in a sweatshirt that's hiding most of her sexy body, yet she couldn't look hotter in this moment.

“I'm going to load the fireplace with wood and get it roaring.

Why don't you go find Sadie and Ryan and see if they're hungry.

There's frozen patties and hot dogs in the freezer, I can always slap some on the grill and we can eat them for dinner—or even breakfast tomorrow. '

She looks at one of the windows, then back at me.
