Story: Jaxon
Harper’s eyes filled with tears, but this time, they were tears of joy.“Yes,” she whispered, her voice trembling.“I want that too.I want to build a life with you.”
A smile broke across Jaxon’s face, one that lit up his entire being and made Harper’s heart flutter.He pulled her into his arms, holding her close as the swing rocked gently beneath them, the soft creak of the chains a soothing backdrop to the stillness of the night.Harper clung to him, her heart full to bursting.
“I love you,” she whispered
“Love you back, baby,” he answered without hesitation, making her pulse quicken.
Harper tilted her head, her gaze meeting his in the dim light.His eyes, dark and intense, held a promise that made her breath hitch.
Jaxon leaned in, brushing his lips softly against hers, a tender caress that sent a shiver down her spine.He quickly deepened the kiss.
She tangled her fingers into his hair, pulling him closer as her body molded against his.The air around them seemed to hum with electricity, the world falling away until there was nothing but the two of them, wrapped in each other.Jaxon moved his hands to her waist, his touch firm yet gentle.
When they finally broke apart, both breathing heavily, Jaxon rested his forehead against hers, a small smile tugging at his lips.
“You make everything worth it,” he murmured, his voice a husky whisper.“Every fight, every scar, every damn moment.”
Harper cupped his face, her thumb tracing the rough line of his jaw.“And you make me feel safe,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.“Like I can face anything, as long as you’re with me.”
They sat there a moment longer, wrapped in the quiet of the night, the cool breeze playing with the edges of her hair.But the fire between them had been kindled, a smoldering heat that neither could ignore.
Jaxon stood, pulling her to her feet, his hands lingering on her hips as he guided her toward the door.“Come on,” he said, his voice laced with a promise that sent a thrill through her.“Let’s go inside.”
Harper’s heart raced as she followed him, her hand in his, their steps slow and deliberate.The anticipation built with every movement, every glance exchanged.As they crossed the threshold into the house, the door clicking shut behind them, the warmth of his presence enveloped her.
Jaxon turned to her, his eyes burning with desire, a mischievous glint playing at the corners of his mouth.“I’ve been waiting to have you all to myself,” he admitted, his voice a low murmur that sent a ripple of heat through her.
Harper smiled, a mixture of nervousness and excitement bubbling within her.“I guess we better not keep you waiting then,” she teased.Harper traced the line of his shirt, tugging him closer.
He chuckled, the sound rich and warm, before sweeping her into his arms, carrying her toward the stairs.Their laughter mingled as they ascended.As they reached their bedroom, the tension between them palpable, Harper knew this was the start of something beautiful.
