Chapter Thirty

Beck

“You can’t tell me to leave. If Maisie wants me gone, she’ll say so,” Hank said, a hint of belligerence in his tone.

I’d encountered him on the short walk from the café to the cutesy B&B Janet owned beside it. As such, we were standing on the sidewalk on Main Street for this little conversation. I was fighting the urge to haul off and punch him when I heard someone call my name.

I glanced around and saw Maisie walking toward us from the direction of the station. I briefly wondered why she hadn’t driven, but that mild curiosity was wiped away in the tidal wave of relief that washed through me when I saw her. Hell, it was so fucking good to see her. I completely forgot I’d been in the middle of confronting her dad and jogged to meet her. I forced myself to stop in front of her, holding back the urge to tug her to me and pour everything I felt into a kiss. It was still drizzling out, the sky slate gray and the air chilly.

Maisie’s wild curls were damp and had fallen loose from her ponytail. Her thick lashes curled against her cheeks, which were flushed pink. She’d forgotten a jacket. I could see she was chilled with her nipples pressing against her t-shirt. She wrapped her arms around her waist. She hadn’t said a word and just looked at me, her wide brown eyes coasting over my face. My heart set to thudding, and need lashed at me. It was pathetic really, how much of a hold she had on me.

I opened my mouth to say something, anything.

“I miss you,” was the only thing that came out. My mouth was miles ahead of my brain and seemed stuck in the gear of blunt truth when it came to Maisie.

Her eyes widened and then suddenly she flung herself at me. I stumbled slightly as I caught her against me. I wrapped my arms around her and held on tight, tucking my head into the curve of her neck and breathing her in. She smelled of rain hinted with vanilla and the sweet scent that was only her. I dropped kisses along her neck, savoring the feel of her skin pebbling under my lips. My cock was rock hard, pressing against my zipper with raw, insistent need. I lost track of where we were until she wiggled against me, a little laugh escaping. I lifted my head to find her face inches away.

Her cheeks were cherry red now, her eyes glistening, and a lopsided smile unfurling across her face. She bit her lip, and I almost came undone.

This woman could bring me to my knees, and I didn’t give a damn.

“Um, we’re kind of…” she paused, gesturing with her hand.

I glanced around to see a few tourists walking by, their eyes curiously glancing to us and away. Her father had disappeared, and I found I couldn’t seem to care about that right now.

“I suppose you’d rather I didn’t tackle you right here in front of anyone who walks by,” I said with a grin.
