#PreOrderNow
Teddy walks up behind me, wrapping me in his arms, and rests his chin on the top of my head. “What are you thinking about, sweet girl?”
“Just how beautiful it is outside.” I melt into his embrace as he gently sways us back and forth. It’s not what I’m really thinking about, but I don’t want to bring him down.
He nuzzles my shoulder before placing a series of chaste kisses up my neck. “I thought the same thing when I looked outside and saw you glowing on my balcony. Now, tell me what you were really thinking, baby.”
I turn in his arms and look up to meet his gaze. The truth is written in my eyes just as it is in his. We’re both dreading this goodbye. Even though it’s not forever, the thought of not being able to have this man’s embrace routinely hurts.
“I’m thinking that this weekend went by entirely too fast.” Laying my head on his chest, I wrap my arms around his waist and squeeze. “And I’m thinking that I’m going to miss the hell out of you.”
Teddy returns my hug and kisses the top of my head. “I know, baby. I’m going to miss you so bad, but I promise I’ll call you every chance I get, okay?”
“Okay,” I mumble into his chest.
He pauses to lift my chin, then searches my eyes. “I’ll tell your brothers today. I swear I will. You can come to all my games wearing my name on your back. I can hold and kiss you before and after every one. I’ll move you into my condo to get every stolen moment with you in the evenings.”
In a moment of weakness, I almost agree, but I can’t. We can’t do this right now. Shaking my head, I smile lazily at my boyfriend. “We’ve already talked about that. We will tell them after the season. This is your dream.”
“You are my dream,” he says, kissing my brow.
“I’m yours, and I’ll be yours as long as you’ll have me—
“Forever.”
