Chapter 7

Lucas

I love you, Lucas. Coco’s sleepy words drifted in and out of my mind while she slept. I’d drawn the covers over her precious body to make sure she was nice and toasty before I slipped out of the master bedroom.

I walked around the cabin and checked everything was okay then locked up. The snow hadn’t stopped. It might have created a beautiful winter wonderland for us to enjoy, but I wanted to make sure we were safe and sound while we hid from the world and I did my best convincing her to give me a chance. To make her mine.

I’d never been happier to have talked Shep into stocking the cabin for me. I owed him big for coming and setting it up. Not only were the kitchen and wet bar fully stocked, but he’d had someone decorate the cabin with Christmas trees strung up with lights as well, making the entire space look even more magical. Not to mention a couple of floral bouquets I spotted in the master bedroom and living spaces.

I shot him a text thanking him before I hurried to prepare lunch. I took the things we brought from the diner, smiling at the surprise our waitress had added for us, to the den on the second story.

As I scanned the space, an idea popped into my head, and for a split second, I hesitated.

What if she thought I was being cheesy?

Who the fuck cares? You need to show her you care! That you’re in love with her!

Her sleepy words floated through my head again, and my chest burned with longing. I love you, Lucas. She was only a couple of steps away, yet I missed her. I had a feeling she wouldn’t remember her sweet confession, and I was okay with that.

I’d more than happily share how I felt about her, and soon. I was done keeping my feelings bottled up.

Fuck it! I set up an indoor picnic close to the floor-to-ceiling windows that happened to be right next to one of the fresh Christmas trees. The warm white twinkling lights sparkled and shined next to the fireplace I turned on.

I got to work hoping my girl wouldn’t wake up before I was done. Just as I finished tossing the last pillow onto the ground, I felt her enter the room. When I turned, the smile on my face died quickly.

“Hi.” Coco waved shyly as she tightened the belt of the emerald-green satin robe she was wearing. An emerald-green robe and nightie I had chosen just for her. The moment I saw it, I’d known it would look amazing against her olive complexion.

“Hey.” My voice sounded like gravel. Sweat started to form at the back of my neck. Jesus, Coco was beautiful. Inside and out.

And I didn’t deserve her.

I was a cold motherfucker, but I would make it my life’s mission to become a better man. My beautiful woman walked toward me in the set of lingerie I’d hoped yet didn’t think I’d see her wear this trip.
