I'll Reach For You, page 26
"Well, thank you." She says and dries herself with her hand. I grab her sweater and drag myself to lay next to her.
"You're welcome." I grin and kiss her cheek. She turns around and puts her lips on my forehead.
"Hunt?"
"Yeah?" She whispers.
"I still haven't given you my gift," I tell her. Hunt wraps her arm around me making me bury my cheek in her chest.
"You are my gift." She yawns.
"Dammit Hunt, it's your birthday and I really want to give you something," I say and hit her in the shoulder.
"Fine." She chuckles and kisses me on the forehead. I reach down into my pocket and put both rings on two of my fingers. Then I move my hand up for Hunt's eyes. I look at her smile as she puts her hands up to the rings on my fingers. She studies them and then looks at me with the crooked smile.
"You’re still my favourite gift." She says and kisses my cheek; her soft lips make me chuckle.
"You like them?" Hunt nods with a huge smile and put the rings in her hand.
"Since you were so brave to ask me, I thought I could at least give you something for it," I tell her softly and lean in to kiss her on the cheek.
"Thank you, I guess this one is mine?" She says and holds it out for me to see. I look at the letters and it says, ‘Reach You’.
"Yes, of course, it is." I kiss her on the nose. She puts it on and it fits perfectly. I was a little unsure if it would, but I knew Hunt has smaller hands than I do.
"And this must be yours." She grins and puts it on my finger. I look at it where it says, ‘Follow You’. Hunt wraps her arm around me and rests her head on my shoulder. She leans in and put her lips on my neck, then I feel her nibble. I chuckle and drag her on me and she cups my cheeks and moves her lips down to mine. She starts to nibble on my lip as well and the shivers run down my spine. Hunt smiles against my lips.
"You always shake when I bite a little." She moves back with a grin. I lean to the side and breathe her amazing smell in and kiss her neck.
"Goddamn, you smell so good," I mumble while kissing her and then I bite.
"Sky!" She laughs and rolls off me.
"Sorry," I tell her and turn to look at her amazing smile, beautiful blue eyes, and her tasty lips.
"I really, really love you," I say so emotional the tears want to seep out of my eyes, but I keep them in. Hunt gives me the crooked smile and her blues are so focused on me it makes my heart tingle. She moves and cups my cheek with her hand.
"I really, really love you too." She tells me softly and kisses me on the forehead.
"And I will always love you." Hunt smiles and kisses me on the forehead again, sending more shivers down my back.
"Are you sure?" I tease while grinning. She rolls her eyes.
"How could I not, you’re the only one I’ve ever loved and wanted. You’re the only one that makes my heart and head turn upside down every time I see or hear you. I love you even more than I can describe." Her voice is so soft like her words. I grab her sweater and roll onto her. Then I close the distance with my lips on hers and kiss her desperately. How can I ever stop loving her? It’s like she can make me fall in love with her every day as if it’s the first time. Hunt cups my cheeks and moves me back.
"I love you through hell and back." She tells me, and I snort.
"Isn't it to the moon and back?" I chuckle. She smiles and shakes her head.
"That would be too easy."
…THE END…
