much he means to me. How much happiness he brings to my life. I was lost before Liam, and now I know exactly where I am. Anywhere he is, my heart and soul are there as well. I get up on my knees, still between his legs, and brace my hands on his cheeks. “Liam, you are my heart. I’ve been so afraid to tell you, because I thought it would push you away.” I lean in close to his lips, never breaking eye contact. “I love you.” Then I kiss him. I try to show him how much he means to me through touch, with the caress of our tongues.
Liam pulls away and smiles softly. “Why don’t you head up to shower and call Gran while I clean up, then we can curl up in bed and watch a movie?” I nod in agreement, kiss him quickly, and head off toward the shower.
Chapter 26
Liam
I watch Allison skip off to the shower and take a deep breath. She loves me. I was waiting for the right moment this weekend to tell her how much I love her, but when she started talking about being afraid of always being alone, I couldn’t hold it in. As long as I breathe, she’ll never be alone. This girl means everything to me, and I’ll spend each day of forever showing her just how much.
I make quick work of loading the dishwasher and cleaning up the kitchen. I race off to the bedroom to find my girl sitting on the bed with a towel around her body and one twisted around her head with the phone to her ear. She’s smiling as she listens to whatever it is her gran’s telling her. I have yet to meet her gran, but I can tell she’s an awesome lady. I kiss her on the cheek and tell her to tell Gran hello as I head for the shower, giving them time to finish their conversation.
I hurry through my shower, only taking the time to slide into a pair of boxer briefs when I’m done, not wanting to waste one minute of time being away from her. She’s still talking to Gran. I don’t want to interrupt her; I know how much Allison misses her. I slide in behind her on the bed and remove the towel from her head. I grab the brush that’s lying beside her and gently begin brushing her hair. I see her shoulders relax at my touch.
She finishes her call with the promise to Gran that we’ll both be there next weekend for a visit. I tell Allison to pick out a DVD as I slip my t-shirt over her head, and then make my way to the kitchen to make us some popcorn.
I hop up on the bed and pat the spot next to me for her to climb in. “So what movie did you pick?”
Allison smiles sweetly up at me. “The Notebook.”
I groan in protest, but in all honesty, we could watch the fucking Weather Channel for all I care. As long as she’s in my arms, I’m a happy man. Six months ago, if you would’ve told me I would be madly in love and passing up going out with the guys just to be around her, I would’ve said you were an idiot. Things change, and I’ve learned to expect the unexpected in all things love and Allison.
I can feel her laughing beside me at my mock annoyance. I put my arm around her and bring her close. God, I love this girl.
I think we’re about halfway through the movie, honestly, I can’t be sure. I’ve spent the entire time watching Allison. She truly is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, and she loves me. I’ve been touching and kissing her since the movie started. I can tell I’m distracting her, but, honestly, I don’t care. Just being in her presence is distracting to me. I try to be good and keep my hands to myself, so she can watch the movie, but then I remind myself she’s seen it before. In that case, game on.
I snuggle closer and place soft kisses on her neck. She tilts her head to the side to give me better access. I smile. I continue kissing and licking while running my hands up and down her thighs. She turns around, pushes me on my back, and straddles my hips. I reach for the remote and turn the TV off. I don’t
