Chapter 12

Iris

“Where are we going,” I ask with anticipation. I know what we’re on our way to do, but I don’t know where we’re going to do it. Surely, not my parents’ house, but maybe he’s got something else in mind.

“Home,” he says, his eyes focused on the road.

It isn’t long before we hit the long driveway that heads up to his family’s land. I haven’t been up here since there was just the one house. I’m anxious to see what it all looks like now but not as anxious as I am to see where this night is going to take us.

It’s mostly dark but I can see the five homes coming into view and they’re all a lot bigger than I thought they’d be. He pulls into the driveway of the house closest to his parents’ and shuts the Jeep off.

He gets out and rushes around to my door, opening it for me and offering his hand. I take it and get out, trying hard to ignore the way my body still aches from the crash. I’m going to be sore tomorrow for sure, but I’ll just have to be careful because I’ve been dreaming of this moment for almost twenty years. A few cuts and bruises and aches and pains aren’t going to stop me now.

We hurry inside and as soon as the door is closed, his big, strong arms are around me pulling me close. His lips are on mine. We make our way up the stairs and down the hall before finally managing to find his bedroom. I’m not sure how we made it because we haven’t untangled from each other since we walked through the door.

We crash onto the bed and his hands are all over me, teasing, caressing... He pushes the hem of my shirt up and I sit up for a second so he can guide it off of me before lying back again. He pulls away and looks down at my body, his brows furrow as he studies me.

“Baby,” he says, concern lacing the word.

“What’s wrong,” I ask, suddenly conscious that maybe my body isn’t good enough for him. I’ve always prided myself on loving myself no matter what, and that won’t change, but I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t a pang of defensiveness at his reaction.

“Your body⁠—”

“What about it?” I ask, sitting up and scooting away from him.

“We can’t do this right now.”

I grab my shirt and pull it back on. “Yeah, I think maybe we shouldn’t do this at all.”

“You’re still hurting,” he says.

“What?” I ask, completely confused.

“The bruises,” he says and puts his hand on my thigh. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

I let out a laugh.

“What’s funny?”

“I thought...” I say pursing my lips together.

“Thought what?”

“I thought you changed your mind when you got a good eye full of all this,” I say, gesturing over myself.

“Why in the fuck would I do that?” I shrug, not wanting to admit that I felt inadequate for those few moments of weakness.
