Chapter 40
Chapter Forty
Noah
The sunrise peeks through the mountains and creates a warm glow in my bedroom.
One thing that had me sold on this house was the view and how much peace it brought me, but now the view of Tori asleep, wrapped in my sheets beside me, is better than anything I could have imagined.
She looks so peaceful—like an angel, with her golden brown hair splayed across the white pillowcase.
I nuzzle my nose with hers, and she stirs.
She blinks and stares up at me through tired eyes.
but when recognition dawns, a smile lights up her whole face and has my heart beating unsteadily.
This woman really does take my breath away.
“Good morning,” she says with the sweetest morning voice.
“Good morning, darlin’.” I press a chaste kiss to her lips, and my gaze trails over every feature on her face.
Her big midnight blue eyes, the dusting of freckles around her nose that only appear in the summer months, and her plump pink lips, and I wonder how I got so lucky to get a second chance with her.
Maybe it’s true what they say: if you love something, set it free, and if it’s meant to be, it will come back to you.
“I think I could get used to this,” I confess, and she bites down on her lip.
“Me too.”
I roll over, taking her with me. She squeals as I pin her beneath me, my morning wood pressing against her entrance.
She quirks an eyebrow. “Someone’s excited.” She smirks.
“Damn right. Maybe you should do something about it,” I say with a wink
“Yes, sir.”
We spend the morning in bed, connecting in new ways and discovering levels of pleasure I didn’t know existed until her.
When we eventually drag ourselves away from the bedroom, we fuck under my rainfall shower.
If every day starts like this, I’ll spend the rest of my life a happy man.
Waking up to her, spending my days, coming home to her is all I want, all I need.
She’s like the perfect Sunday morning: peaceful, calm, comforting, and the best part of my week.
Tori makes waffles and fruit as I made the coffee before we sat out on my porch swing.
“So, what’s the plan for today?” she asks, crossing her legs and placing them over my lap.
“I think there’s a few more places in my cabin we could fuck.” I grin, and I let out a fake whine when she flicks my chest and rolls her eyes playfully. “Don’t tell me you wouldn’t be up for that, darlin’. The way you were screaming this morning. Why would you deny yourself that level of pleasure?”
She shakes her head and laughs. “You know, I forgot about this version of you.”
I lean over and capture her mouth with mine. “You love it,” I say without thinking.
“I do.”
“So honestly, what do you fancy doing today? We can do anything you want,” I say.
She chews on the inside of her cheek nervously, which is something I haven’t seen her do in a very long time. I take her hand in mine and give it a reassuring squeeze.
“Whatever it is, Tor, you can tell me. No secrets, remember?”
“I’d really like to go and visit Trent’s mom while I’m here, maybe not today, but sometime this week. I feel I owe her a very overdue visit.” I nod. “And there’s one thing left to do on his life list, and I thought we could finish it together.”
I link our fingers and wrap my arm around her.
“Whatever you need darlin’, I’ll do it with you.”
