Chapter Twelve

Drew

Bright morning sun broke over the water, waking Drew from his best night’s sleep in almost eleven years. The bed of his truck wasn’t as comfortable as it had been at sixteen, but waking up with Anna in his arms was pretty damn close to Heaven. She loved him. She’d said she loved him last night, and he loved her more than he had words to tell her.

The proposal wasn’t a joke. At least not to him. It was too soon for her. He knew that, but he wanted her to be his wife, to wear his ring on that tiny finger and watch her walk down the aisle toward him and not someone else.

This partnership between she and Luke could be great. She wouldn’t have to give up her dreams to be at home with Drew, but he never would have let a job keep them apart. If she wanted, he’d follow her anywhere.

Watching the peaceful expression on her face as she slept, Drew couldn’t help drifting to their conversation the night before. Waiting hadn’t really crossed his mind this time. He’d been fantasizing about getting his hands on every inch of her body since the minute she appeared at his sister’s wedding, but if she needed to wait, they would. Their first time together would be special for her, perfect, even if it damn near killed him.

He could convince her to have sex. Just like he could have a decade ago. He’d touch her the way he knew she liked to be touched, the way that made the barely there hitch in her breath that drove him insane. It would be incredible, every single minute of being with her, but that terrified broken look she’d had in her eyes at his sister’s wedding, the one he’d slowly taken away over the last several weeks, would return as her mind fixated on all the worst-case scenarios. She’d already lived some of them, so it wouldn’t be hard for her to get there. As much as he wanted her now, craved the taste of every inch of her, Drew loved her too much to let that happen. So he pushed away the fantasy with a deep inhale, reciting the periodic table to calm the already excited part of his manhood.

Anna stirred in his arms, eyes fluttering. He kissed her forehead, scooped her up, and drove them to his home. She immediately snuggled back into the couch, and he joined her, drifting back to sleep holding her.

The sound of the garage door opening woke him sometime later, and he peeked an eye open to see Luke standing over them with a smirk.

“Well, look at you two all cozy and stuff.” Luke ruffled Anna’s hair, and she smacked his hand away.

“Why are you here?” Drew mumbled into Anna’s neck. “Go away.”

“The barbeque at your parents’ house, genius. It starts in twenty minutes.” Luke plopped down in the recliner beside them. “I needed an oil change, and it’s draining in your shop, so I thought I’d catch a ride with you.
