The Havoc We Wreak - Becca Steele Page 0,22
meteor shower was starting, and he turned me around and I stopped crying, watching the meteors with him.” A laugh escaped her lips as she continued. “I wouldn’t have even been able to see them, probably. Can’t babies only see things that are close to them? Still, it stopped me crying, and we sat and watched the whole thing.”
“How did you get out of there?”
“Another car came along, a Land Rover or something, driven by a local farmer, and he got us out and back home.”
“And you got the tattoo to remember that?” I reached for her hand, kissing the tattoo that was there on her wrist, following the meteor trail with my lips all the way up to her inner elbow.
“I got it to remember my dad. He’d always try and watch the meteor shower with me, every year, if he could.” She shivered slightly. “Anyway, that’s my story. It’s getting colder, now, isn’t it?”
Yeah, it was. My nose had gone numb. “Thanks for sharing that with me.” I stared at her for a moment, and she shivered again. “Come on. Let’s get back to the house so I can fuck you senseless.”
“You’re so romantic.”
“I know.”
I got her to wait in the warmth of the car while I gathered up the stuff I’d brought, shoving it back in the duffel bag, before carefully taking the telescope apart and packing it back into its box. I’d bribed Dave, a guy at uni who was a massive astronomy geek, to let me borrow it for the evening. It had taken a monetary bribe, plus a party invite to Winter’s party, and the assurance I’d be seen speaking to him at said party so he could increase his “cool points.” His words, not mine. He was more protective of the bloody thing than I was about my car.
I mentally shook my head, clearing thoughts of Dave from it, then sent Weston a quick text to say we were on our way back. I had champagne chilling in the fridge for my girl, and I wanted it in our bedroom ready for her when we got back. Neither of us were going to be leaving that room tonight if I had anything to do with it.
“Why did you bring me all the way up here, anyway?” Winter turned to look at me as I started up the car.
“Uh…reasons. I knew we could be alone. I knew the view of the stars would be great from up here.” I cleared my throat, trying to get rid of the lump that had suddenly appeared. “And it was my mum’s favourite place. She used to make us hike up here in the summer, and we’d always have a picnic at the top. Me and West would play tag, and she’d sit making daisy chains and watching us. Dad would come, too, sometimes.” I frowned. “If he wasn’t busy.”
Her voice was soft. “We’ll come back when it’s warmer, then. Thank you for sharing it with me, Cade.”
“I’ve never brought anyone up here. I wanted to share it with you. To make it a place where we could both have good memories.”
She sighed. “And you say you’re not romantic. You’re giving me all the feels, right here.” She pointed at her stomach. “And here.” She put her hand on her heart. We paused at the end of the track, waiting to turn the car back onto the road, and I placed my hand over hers.
Then I squeezed her delicious tit, and she squealed, batting me away. “Way to ruin the moment, asshole.”
I smirked, sliding my hand up under her hoodie to caress her tits properly. “I think you like it, really.”
She bit back a smile. “Sometimes.”
I lightly pinched her nipple through her bra, and she moaned softly.
“Something you wanna say, baby?” I drawled.
“Take me home and fuck me senseless.”

He pushed me up against the front door, attacking my mouth, grinding his hardness into me. The time for romance was over. Now, all I wanted was for him to be buried inside me, and it was clear he was thinking the same thing.
“We need to get inside,” I moaned, as he dragged his mouth down my neck, biting, licking, and sucking, sending waves of pleasure straight to my core.
“I want you so fucking much,” he growled against my neck, as he somehow managed to open the door, holding me against him as he moved us inside.
We broke apart, breathing heavily, and I kicked my boots off. He followed suit,
