“Spectacular, you say,” he murmurs. “You’re good for a man’s ego, Ace.”
“Just being honest. This has been a really great two weeks, baby.” I tilt my head back giving him a sign of what I want without asking. Slater understands because he bends down and kisses me. I let my tongue run along his bottom lip, sucking inside my mouth, and tasting him. I nibble on it, letting my teeth torture the soft flesh, before regretfully letting go.
“It sure has. Don’t go back to Mason, Marigold. I want you here with me.”
“My job is in Mason, though.”
“So don’t go back to work. You don’t really need to. I saw the check you got from your writing last week. With what you make and what I make, we can do it. You can concentrate on your writing because I’ve seen how much you love it.”
“You have, huh?”
“Baby, you get excited and make the silliest faces while you’re writing. It’s like the stuff you type into the computer comes alive for you. I see the joy in you because it’s the same thing I feel when I’m out there on the field. Everyone should get a chance to concentrate on their dreams. You need to do it. If you don’t, you’ll always regret it.”
“You better be careful, Bat-Boy. The way you’re talking sounds kind of permanent.”
“That’s because it is. You may not be ready for marriage and I’m okay with that, but I’m ready to keep going on this ride with you, wherever that takes us. I don’t worry about it. I know when it’s all said and done, we’ll be on the ride together.
“I feel. like we will be, too,” I admit.
“Then, what’s the point of waiting? The holidays are coming soon. I’d rather have your whole family know that this is serious between us and not just a…”
“Fuck buddy arrangement.”
He rolls his eyes. “I only agreed to that so I could hypnotize you with my gigantic, world-record-holding, dick, Ace.”
“Lord, my mother has made your ego worse. What am I supposed to do with you now, Slater?”
“Love me, Marigold. You’re supposed to love me.”
I look at him, my heart beating erratically in my chest. “What happens if I say I already do?”
His beautiful dark eyes sparkle down at me. “I’d tell you that I’m going to keep your heart safe, baby.”
“That’s not exactly what a girl wants to hear—at least not completely,” I grouse, watching as his lips spread into a smile.
“How about the fact that I love you, too, Marigold? Would that work?”
“Maybe,” I answer with a grin.
“I do. I love you and I love you in a way that I know it’s going to last,” he says his hand holding mine and bringing it to his heart. “You’re deep inside of me, baby. You’ve settled in and taken root and I’m not willing to ever let you go.”
“Now that’s exactly what I wanted to hear,” I breathe, rocking against to him because the heat of him is slowly invading my body and awakening me again to just how much I need him.
He moves my leg on his hip adjusting my body exactly where he wants it. I feel his cock moving against the lips of my pussy.
“We’re going to make this work, Marigold, and it’ll be so good you won’t be able to believe it.”
“You sound positive about that, Bat-Boy.”
“I am. You’re exactly what I’ve been waiting for my entire life. I thought baseball was my reward after all the crap in my past, but I was wrong. It was you.”
He reaches down and positions his cock and slowly slides into me. I’m a little tender, but he feels so good sliding into me. I’m wet and more than ready, it’s just that we keep going at one another constantly.
“Honey,” I gasp the word a hissing sound that draws out as he slides in deeper and deeper inside me.
“Give me that sweetness, baby. Give it all to me.”
We move together and we do it while staring into each other’s eyes. It builds slowly and with an intensity we’ve never reached before. As my orgasm slowly rolls through me and my head goes back in pleasure, I force myself to look at Slater the entire time.
This is our beginning, and our story will last a lifetime.
Epilogue
SLATER
One Month Later
“Go! Hamburger! Whoop! Whoop!” Marigold screams pumping her fists in support of her mother’s pet cow.
“Hey, Ace. You’re cheering for that damn cow more than you ever do me.”
“Oh, come on, Bat-Boy that’s not true. Besides, I cheer. You just can’t hear me because of all the women yelling and trying to get your attention.”
“You’re the only one that counts, Ace. You’re the only one that counts.”
She rolls her eyes, but she grins.
“Look at my boy out there,” Ida Sue brags. “Have you ever seen anything so magnificent?”
