looked back since, never cared about anyone except them. I used the women to fill the void the drugs left and I gave no apologies, never questioned what I was doing.”

He was silent for a moment, “Until you came along that is. Everything changed the minute I laid eyes on you. I thought I was going crazy at first, how could one girl come into my life and make me question every single one of my beliefs?”

Tears continued to slide down my cheeks as I leaned forward and kissed him gently. “You’ve been through so much and then when you started to open up, I just tossed you aside. I’m so sorry Drake. I never meant to hurt you.”

My lips brushed his as I spoke. I felt him smile as he pulled away. “I think we both hurt each other. But I want a chance with you Chloe. I want to put everything behind us and start over. Do you think we can do that?”

I smiled as I wrapped my arms around him, “I’d like that. I’m just afraid we’ll hurt each other again.”

“We will, I have no doubt. We’ll fight and slam doors and then we’ll make up. Every couple in the world does it Chloe. I’m willing to take all that hurt to be with you if you are too.”

“I am,” I whispered as he pulled me close and kissed me gently.

“Glad to hear it. Now let’s get out of here, I’m freezing. We can talk more in my car.”

He stood and held his hand out to help me up. The moon was shining brightly as I made my way slowly up the trail with him following close behind me. I slid and nearly fell several times on the way up, but Drake was always there to catch me. We were giggling and covered in mud by the time we reached the top of the hill.

“I don’t think I’ve ever met someone as clumsy as you. Although, seeing as how I got an awesome view that first night, I guess I should be thankful.”

I lifted my hand to slap his chest, but he caught it and used it as leverage to push me onto the hood of his car. The engine was still warm and it helped to thaw out my legs and ass as he pushed me further up onto the hood.

Before I could ask what he was doing, he was on top of me kissing me roughly. I let myself melt into the hood as he continued to kiss me. He finally pulled back slightly and we were both gasping.

“Wha.. What was that for?”

He gave me that devilish smile of his as he leaned down to attack my mouth again. “I’ve waited long enough to do this guilt free and I’m not waiting another minute.”

I pushed him back as his words sunk in, “Wait! Wait a minute! You aren’t serious are you? We can’t do that on the hood of your car!” I felt myself blushing at the thought alone.

“Of course we can, no one is around us for miles. The hood of my car is a perfect spot.”

I started to argue but stopped when he cupped my sex through my jeans. I let my head fall back against the glass as he slid my workpants off and threw them to the ground. Next went my underwear, then my shirt and bra. I propped myself up on my elbows and grinned at him. “How is this fair? I’m completely naked, on top of your car just so we’re clear on that little fact, and you’re still completely dressed.”

He grinned wickedly as he pulled his jeans and boxers off, but seemed to hesitate at his T-Shirt.

“What is it? You’re not shy all of the sudden are you?”

He smirked at me, “No, definitely not shy. I’m just not sure how you’re going to take this once you see it.”

I gave him a confused look, “What are you talking about? And hurry up already, I’m freezing here!”

He hesitated a second longer before pulling his shirt off and tossing it with the rest of our clothes. My breath caught as I saw what he was talking about. Directly over his heart was the exact same tattoo that adorned my wrist.

I sat up and pulled him closer, “Drake this is beautiful.”

He gave a weak smile as I traced the outline of the tattoo. “I wanted something to remind me of you, of us, and I figured there wasn’t anything better than
