CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

Samantha

My face pales. “What are we doing?” I ask, climbing off the bed. I close my eyes when I feel cum rush out of me. It drips down my thighs, and the feel of him leaving me as my body cools is a slap in the face.

“Us.” He smooths my hair back. “We’re just being us.”

My tears win, spilling over my lashes.

“Are we really going to rip our family apart for something we can’t even say aloud?”

Kaleb rears back as if I slapped him.

“I’m not ashamed of us, Sam. I told you before that I was done fighting this, and now so are you.

This is happening, Samantha. If you need me to make that decision for you, if your morals won’t allow you to accept us, then fine, I’ll do that.

I’ll be that force for you,” he tells me with a small nod.

His hands reach up and cradle my face. “You and I are happening.” His thumb wipes away a tear on my cheek.

“I’m going to fuck you.” His nose nudges mine.

“I’m going to provide for you.” He kisses my right cheek.

“I’m going to punish you.” He kisses my left cheek.

“I’m going to love you,” he whispers, his lips brushing mine.

“And when you’re ready, I’m going to marry you. ”

“We shouldn’t.” I shake my head. “We can’t.”

We stand there together in the middle of our parents’ bedroom, our lips barely touching, the smell of sex pungent.

“I love you, Samantha Cromwell,” Kaleb declares. Gray eyes pierce into mine. “And you,” he breathes, “you’re going to let me. I’m not asking if that’s what you need, but I’d rather you choose.”

I cry as he pulls me closer.

“You own me, Samantha. I’m yours.”

Our lips clash, his teeth nip before his tongue soothes the pain. Together, we fight for dominance until finally I relent. My arms wind around his shoulders, and my hand cradles the back of his head.

He and I are wrong. Everything about this is wrong, yet at this moment, my life has never felt more right.

I love Kaleb Cromwell, and anyone who has a problem with that can take it up with him.

“I love you, too.”

A devilish smile takes over his face. “That’s my girl.”
