“Thanks for saying that, but I screwed up when I left you behind in Verona. I’ll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.”
She shakes her head. “Stop beating yourself up. You didn’t do anything wrong.” Her eyes shine like emeralds up at me. “I made my own choices. I could’ve followed you here, but instead, I stayed in Verona.” A soft smile tugs at her lips. “But I’m here now, and it’s all that matters.”
“Right.” Lifting my hand to her face, I tuck some strands behind her ear. “And I’m never letting you go.”
She pulls free from my hold. “Want some coffee?”
“Sure.”
I follow Nova out of the room, and when we reach the kitchen, she begins to prepare the beverages while asking, “When do you want to tell Lainey?”
“When she gets home. I think the news will be good for her.”
Noticing Nova’s much more relaxed, I feel a sense of relief. She brings the mugs to the island and sits down beside me.
I take a sip before I mention, “I’ll have to make an announcement about our relationship.”
“Crap,” she mutters. “Do we have to?”
“The press has a way of finding out things. Once the world finds out about us, there will be a lot of shit printed. Don’t believe everything you read.”
“Okay.”
Christ, she’s finally mine. Nova is my girlfriend.
We stare at each other for a few seconds, then I chuckle as I admit, “You have no idea how relieved I am right now.”
“I do.” Her mouth curves up in a happy smile. “Trust me, I do.”
“Will you come visit me on set?”
Her eyes dart to mine. “Sure. When?”
“I’m starting next week. You can bring me smoothies.”
“Just show me how to make them.”
I can’t stop smiling as I stare at her. “Thank you for giving us a chance.”
Her lips curve up. “Thank you for being patient with me.”
“I would’ve waited forever for you if I had to,” I admit.
Emotion washes over her face, and her eyebrows draw together. “Really?”
“Or at least fourteen years,” I chuckle before getting serious. “You’re the one for me, Nova. It will only ever be you.”
She lifts her hand to my face and cups my jaw. “That’s the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard.”
Winking at her, my tone is playful. “Yeah?”
“Yeah.” She leans over and presses a soft kiss to my mouth.
Once we’re done with our coffee, I stand up, and taking hold of Nova’s hand, I pull her toward the couch. Sitting down, I grip hold of her hips and tug her onto my lap so she’s straddling me.
“That’s better,” I grin while I rub my hands up and down her sides.
Her tone is light and happy as she replies, “It is.”
Bringing my hand to her neck, I pull her in for a kiss, which quickly gets out of control. Hard and desperate for my woman, I let out a disgruntled groan. “Condoms are upstairs.”
“I have an IUD.”
My eyebrow lifts as I tease her, “You could’ve mentioned that earlier.”
She gives me a playful smile. “It was hot watching you rip the foil open with your teeth and roll the condom on.”
“Yeah?” I push her backward, and as I tug her leggings down her legs, I ask, “You liked that?”
With desire darkening her eyes, she admits, “I like everything you do.”
As soon as we’re both naked, I pull her back onto my lap so she can straddle me before I proceed to kiss the ever-loving shit out of her.
She tastes as sweet as she is, with a hint of innocence that’s downright addictive.
“Fuck, Nova,” I groan as I massage her breast, which fits perfectly in my palm. “You feel so good.” My tongue darts out, and I lick my way up her throat. “And you taste incredible.”
“Easton.” My name sounds like a prayer on her lips, and I fucking love it.
“I want to get to know every inch of your sexy body,” I say, my voice deep with desire for her. “I want to find out what makes you cry for more and what makes you beg for mercy.”
“You,” she gasps, her fingers tugging at my hair as she grinds down on my cock. “Your mouth. Your hands. Your body.”
I drop a kiss between her breasts before I move up again. Biting her jaw lightly while my hands feast on the feel of her soft skin, I say, “You’re fucking beautiful.”
I reach down and adjust my cock at her entrance, and as Nova takes me deep inside her, she looks fucking sexy.
Once I’m buried to the hilt, her lips part to let out a gasp.
Feeling how hot and wet she is, I groan, “You’re soaked for me, baby.”
Nova starts to move, her hips swiveling every time she takes me deep, and I fall irrevocably in love with the breathtaking expression of ecstasy on her face.
