Secrets Worth Keeping (Finding my Home #2)- Nikita Parmenter Page 0,87

know in no uncertain terms that he can be as rough as he’d like with me. I run my hands up his chest and circle them behind his neck, gently running my nails against the back of his neck, he groans and pulls me closer his erection digging into my stomach, holy fuck.

He pulls back, giving me one last kiss before he steps back and grins.

“What was that for?” I ask breathlessly, glad that the truck is against my back as my legs have turned to jelly from his kiss alone.

“Do I need a reason?” He smirks, tucking a piece of loose hair behind my ear.

“No, I guess not” I admit.

He steps back and starts to walk around to his side of the car before turning back to me when I don’t move.

“Are you going to get into the truck?” He asks looking slightly confused.

“Yeah in a second” I mumble and he smirks, damn it.

“Did I make your knees weak, gorgeous?” He smirks, looking incredibly pleased with himself.

I stand up straight and open the truck door.

“Nope and what happened to Firecracker?” I ask in a bid to change the subject.

“Gorgeous seemed to fit better in the moment” he shrugs as he gets in his own side and grins over at me.

“Just drive, you smug bastard” I grumble and he chuckles, pulling me over and tucking me into his side before I can settle on the opposite side of the cab, I smile as I strap myself in.

Seeing Luc hold the twins earlier pretty much made my ovaries explode. I don’t care who the fuck you are seeing a giant of man being so damn gentle and holding a tiny baby is going to make you feel things, add in that I care about him so damn much and yeah I saw a similar future to the one that I saw yesterday. It made me finally admit to myself that these feelings aren’t going anywhere. I knew that before but I’m finally ready to admit that now. I was right that sex would make things more complicated but so far it’s only been in a way I hadn’t expected. After sleeping with Trick and Cash I was so close to blurting out that I loved them and if I’m going to be honest with myself, watching Luc this morning I realised that of course I love him too.

When I talk to them about how I feel, if they reject the idea, even if they still want to be friends with me it’s going to hurt like a mother fucker and I’m not sure how I’m going to deal with that.

“Are you ok, Ever?” Luc asks, “we’re nearly home and you’ve been quiet the whole time.”

“Yeah I’m fine. I just got stuck in my head” I reassure him.

“Good, I’ve just got to stop and get gas.”

We pull into the gas station and I hop out to stretch my legs as he puts gas in the truck. When we get back into the truck Luc’s phone goes off and he grabs it, types back a quick reply and then turns to me.

“Want to get some coffee?”

“Yeah sure” I reply slightly suspicious.

“There’s this really great place in town, they make amazing coffee” he says as he starts the truck and we pull out of the gas station driving towards the town.

It’s not long until he pulls up to a cute little coffee shop that has a vintage vibe to it, it’s adorable and even from here I can smell the delicious aroma of coffee.

“Well, if it tastes as good as it smells I’m hooked” I grin and Luc chuckles as he takes my hand and leads me into the shop.

There aren’t many people in here and the place is fairly small with only a handful of tables set out around the edges. In the corner at the back there’s a huge fireplace with a set of comfy looking armchairs set in front of it. It looks so inviting that I’m half tempted to ask Luc if we can stay for bit and sit there. We wait in the que as I take in my surroundings and my eyes fall on the tables that are occupied. On one is sat an elderly couple, she’s reading what looks to be a well loved book and keeps smiling every now and then. It’s super cute, her husbands eyes never leave he face as he smiles when she does, the love between them is beautiful.

The next table has
