Saving You (Love Wanted In Texas Book 2) (19 page)

Yep. There went my heart again. Dropping down to my stomach.

Reaching into the basket he took out two brownies and set them on the plates. “Where in the world did you get those?” I asked. Luke looked up at me and gave me the same smile I had been talking to Lauren and Taylor about early.

“Colt made them earlier and I stole them!” Luke said with a laugh.

I picked up the chicken salad sandwich and asked, “The sandwich?”

“I made them. My mom showed me a few years back when I found out they were your favorite.”

Oh wow.
Butterflies galore in my stomach.

“That is the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard, Luke,” I whispered as I leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

The moment the chicken salad hit my taste buds I moaned. “Oh God. It’s your mom’s secret recipe!”

Luke nodded his head as he chuckled. “Mom said her recipe was your favorite.” Nodding my head, I agreed.

Luke’s smile dropped as he looked out over the water. “Lib, I wanted to talk to you about something.”

My heart began beating faster.
What if he regretted what happened? What if he wanted to take a step back?

“O—okay,” my voice sounded weak and that made me angry.

He glanced back at me and said, “I want to tell you what happened after I left to go to A&M.”

Oh shit.

I had laid in bed and thought about why Luke had brushed me off for hours those first few months. Now I was going to get the answers I had longed for. I wasn’t sure it really mattered anymore.

LIBBY BEGAN CHEWING
on her index nail. Her eyes searched my face. It was as if she was debating whether she wanted to hear my reason for hurting her after that kiss. I cleared my throat and smiled weakly.

“Our friendship, Libby, has always meant so much to me. You were my best friend. You still are.”

Libby gave me the sweetest grin.

“Will had said something to me not long after we shared that kiss under the bleachers. I was so confused about my feelings. I knew for a while my feelings for you ran much deeper than our friendship. That kiss brought it all up to the surface.”

Nodding her head, Libby whispered, “Yes, it did.”

“My head started playing games. I started questioning if the kiss was a mistake. I wondered if you had thought the same thing. What if we started dating and it didn’t work—we would lose our friendship and that was the last thing I’d ever want.”

Libby took my hand in hers.

“Once I got to A&M, things were so different. Will’s words kept repeating in my mind. I couldn’t stop thinking of what an ass I was for kissing you and then leaving. That’s when I met Karen. It was only a few days after I got to school.”

Libby sucked in a small breath. I looked away. “I thought I could push the kiss from my heart—with Karen.”

“The girl from the Italian place?” Libby asked.

I nodded my head. “Yeah, but we were only together for a bit and then broke up.”

Libby’s eyes looked sad. “Was she—your first?”

Nodding my head I whispered, “Yeah. I went pretty far with Claire Montgomery once in high school, but not all the way. I kept thinking about—”

“Thinking about what?”

Looking into Libby’s eyes, I attempted a smile. “You. It’s always been about you, Lib. Even that night with Karen, you filled my mind and I tried so fucking hard not to think about you.”

Swallowing, Libby looked away. “Abigail?”

“My poor attempt to push you out of my heart. I swear to you I haven’t seen or talked to Abigail in I don’t know how long. She was lying to you when she said we were together again, Lib. I swear to God.”

Her eyes snapped back to mine as I searched them. I saw nothing but trust. Trust
and
love. “I believe you. I hate that she played a part in pushing me to Zach.” Shutting her eyes she shook her head. “Luke, we’ve both wasted so much time and have done such stupid things. I don’t want to waste any more time on the past. I want to focus on the future.”

Pulling my head back, I looked at Libby with a surprised expression on my face. “Lib, you don’t hate me? I mean I hurt you so many times.”

Libby frowned. “I want to be honest with you too, Luke. Two nights ago Zach sent me a text. I was confused and not sure where things were going with us, so I sent him a text back. I told him I’d call him yesterday, but I knew Zach wasn’t who I wanted. He was never who I wanted. It’s always been you.” She glanced down. “That day you showed up at my dorm.” Shaking her head, she wiped a tear away. She slowly looked back up and our eyes met. “I’d give anything to take that back, Luke. Anything.”

I lifted her hand to my lips. The sounds of the ocean rolling onto the shore made my heart take flight. Libby’s eyes danced with regret. I never wanted to see that in her eyes again. “I’m going to love you so much, Libby, that you will forget that day with Zach. I’m going to make your body feel so incredible that you’ll only know and remember my touch.”

Wiping a tear away, Libby smiled. “You already made me forget him the moment you told me you loved me.”

My heart dropped as I gazed into Libby’s eyes.

Grinning bigger, Libby said, “As much as I love your mom’s chicken salad, I’d much rather have you.”

I glanced around. The beach was fairly empty, but it was still the middle of the afternoon. Looking over Libby’s shoulder, I noticed the house. There was a deck and under the deck it appeared to be storage. The shutters were shut and locked, indicating that no one was occupying the house.

Standing up quickly, I reached for Libby’s hands and pulled her up. I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder as she let out a scream. “Where in the world are you taking me?” She asked as she pushed herself up with her hands on my back.

“I want you, Lib. Now.”

Giggling she said, “What? Now? Where, Luke? People are walking down the beach!”

I walked to the house and set Libby down. “Oh my God. We’re trespassing, Luke.”

I pulled her behind the wood trellis that separated us from the ocean and quickly pulled her shirt up and over her head. Her black bikini top was pushing up her perfect tits. “Fuck,” I hissed through my teeth as I pushed her top up and began sucking on a nipple.

“Oh God,” Libby gasped as her hands went to my hair and began pulling.

I reached down and pulled out a condom from my pocket. I pulled my lips from Libby’s nipple and handed her the condom. “Take it, Lib.”

Her hands were shaking as she reached out and took the condom. I wasn’t sure if she was excited or nervous. Dropping down, I slowly began to pull Libby’s shorts down. Her matching black bikini bottoms quickly followed her shorts. She lifted her legs out of her shorts and bikini bottoms and stood there as I moved my hands up and down her perfect legs. They were muscular from running and sexy as fuck. I pushed her legs apart and lifted a leg.

“Ahh …” Libby called out as I swept my tongue over her hardened nub. I pushed two fingers inside of her and moaned with how wet she was. I moved my fingers in and out a few times and then stood up as I placed the fingers in my mouth and sucked on them. Libby’s mouth parted open slightly as her eyes widened.

“You taste so good, Lib.”

She bit down on her lip and closed her eyes quickly before opening them again.

“Lib, I always want you to know how much I love and adore your body.” She nodded her head. “I never want to hurt you, so you have to promise me you’ll always tell me if I do. Do you promise me, Lib?”

Nodding again, she held up the condom and smiled. “I promise you, Luke.”

I quickly pushed my shorts down and kicked them off to the side, releasing my throbbing dick. I took the condom and rolled it over my shaft. I glanced up and saw Libby watching me as she ran her tongue along her bottom lip.

“What do you want, Libby?”

Snapping her eyes to mine, they danced with excitement. She chewed on her lip for a few seconds before her eyes changed. Excitement was replaced with lust. “I want you to fuck me, Luke. I want to feel what being with you in nothing but raw passion is like.”

Swallowing hard and trying to keep my dick from exploding with Libby talking to me like that, I lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around me. I slowly sank her onto my dick. Inch by painfully slow inch.

She pressed her lips to mine as she panted out. “More. I want more.”

When I was all the way in, we stood there for a few seconds. I wanted to be buried inside her always. Our bodies felt connected. Each time with Libby it was more emotional than the last.

“Luke, you feel like heaven,” Libby whispered against my lips.

“God, Lib. So do you, baby. I wish we could be like this forever.” I pushed her against the house and pulled out of her a bit before moving back into her.

She let out a gasp and I looked into her eyes. “Promise me, Lib.”

She frantically nodded her head. “I will! I will! More, Luke. I want it harder—faster. I want to feel that you were in my body with every step I take.”

I gave her exactly what she wanted. With each pull out, I slammed back into her. Libby’s moans of pleasure were hot as hell. Libby looked down and bit her lower lip. “Oh God … Oh God … that’s so hot.” I knew she could see my dick moving in and out of her body and I was so turned on I wanted to let go. “Libby, baby I need you to come.”

Her eyes looked into mine. “I love you, Luke.”

Pulling out almost all the way, I pushed back into her hard. She threw her head back and began calling out my name as I felt my own release explode. I lifted her and gently pulled out as I set her back down onto the sand.

Our breathing was out of control as Libby leaned against the wall with my arms on either side of her head as I attempted to catch my breath.

Libby finally smiled the most beautiful smile I’d ever seen. “That. Was. Amazing.”

I laughed and nodded my head. “Sure as hell was.”

“I want more.”

My smiled faded as I stared at her. “W—what?”

She nodded her head and wrapped her arms around my neck. “Last night and this morning was more than I could have ever dreamed of. This though—this was beyond amazing. This was sexy as hell and I want to do this as much as we possibly can.”

I let out the breath I was holding and smiled. Thank God she wasn’t meaning she wanted to be fucked again, because my guy was exhausted from last night, this morning and our little fuck fest just now.

“I’m pretty damn sure I can arrange for a lot more fucking time in between the lovemaking.”

Libby kissed my lips and quickly pulled them away. “I’m starving now!”

Libby and I quickly got dressed. Reaching down, I picked her up and carried her back out to our picnic. We spent the next hour eating, talking, laughing, and discussing the future—our future. Together.

THE COLD WATER
ran over my head, causing me to let out a moan with the relief it provided from the heat. “Damn it’s so hot out,” I said as I wiped the sweat from my forehead.

“Welcome back home, son. One week at the beach and you turned into a pussy.”

I turned and looked at my father and shook my head. “Pussy? I’m out here, aren’t I? Where the hell are Colt and Will?”

My father shrugged his shoulders as he laughed. “I told them to take the day off.”

My mouth dropped open. “What? Why in the hell would you do that?”

Looking over at me, my father winked. “I wanted to talk to you.”

Hell. This wasn’t going to be good.

Walking over toward him, I picked up the fence pullers. “About what?”

He grabbed the wire cutters. “Libby.”

I stopped moving. I watched as my father went about his work as if nothing he just said should cause me to worry. He told Colt and Will to take the day off. He had me out here working in the damn heat of the day. He wants to talk about Libby. I began spinning around, looking for Josh.
Was Josh here?

“What in the hell are you doing? What are you looking for?”

I spun around and looked at my father. “Is Josh here?”

My father lifted his eyebrow. “Should he be here, Son?”

I stared at my father. “Um, is that a trick question, Dad?” I looked around again before looking back at my father. Rolling his eyes, my father mumbled something under his breath. He threw down his wire cutters and walked over to the back of his truck. He opened the cooler and pulled out two beers. Tossing one to me, he motioned for me to sit down.
