Holding You (Love Wanted in Texas #3) - Page 44/108

It was hard trying to walk, carry Lauren, and climb the stairs all at once. Her sweet little whimpers and moans had my pants feeling too small. Stopping outside her bedroom, I slowly slid her down my body until her feet hit the ground. Cupping the sides of her face, I looked into her beautiful baby-blue eyes. “Lauren, you have and will always be, my forever love.”

Closing her eyes, I watched a tear roll down her cheek. Slowly opening her eyes she smiled. “Colt, you have and will always be my forever love.” My heart slammed against my chest. I knew Lauren knew how special those words were to me and for her to repeat them back to me meant more than anything.

“I’m going to make love to you all night, Lauren.”

Nodding her head, she sucked in her lower lip. “Um . . . I do want to try out some things I learned tonight though.”

Letting out a moan, I reached behind her and placed my hand on the doorknob. “Give me two minutes, baby.”

Looking at me with a confused expression, Lauren furrowed her eyebrows. “What?”

Holding up my fingers and making the sign for two, I repeated, “Two minutes.”

Scooting around her, I slipped into the room. Grabbing the lighter, I quickly began lighting all the candles. Walking over to the small ice chest, I pulled out the container full of chocolate-covered strawberries. Reaching down, I felt the pouch in my pocket. Taking a look around I smiled. It was perfect.

There was a knock on the door and I quickly walked over to the door. “Turn around and close your eyes, Lauren.”

“O-okay.”

Slowly opening the door, I smiled when I saw Lauren standing with her back to the door. Walking around to the front of her, I brought her to me and kissed her. Her arms immediately went around my neck as I walked her into her room. I wasn’t sure how long we stood in the middle of her room, completely lost in our kiss.

Pulling back some, I smiled at her. Lauren smiled and looked around. Her hands dropped from around my neck and went to her mouth. “Oh . . . my . . . Colt.” Spinning around, she took everything in. She wasn’t expecting this and by the look on her face, she was beyond happy.

“When did you do this?” Lauren asked as she walked up and ran her hands over the baby-blue lingerie I had laid out on the bed. Picking it up, she looked over her shoulder at me. “Did you buy this?”

Nodding, I smiled. “While you were at your . . . study group. I came over and set everything up. And yes, I bought that for you.”

Clutching it to her chest, she walked up to me. “It’s beautiful.”

“Do I get to see it on you?” I asked as I pushed a long curl from her face.

The air in the room instantly changed as Lauren gazed up at me with nothing but desire in her eyes. “Do I get to see you naked?”

Letting out a soft chuckle, I said, “I bet you will as soon as I see you dressed in this.”

Narrowing her eye at me she said, “Mmm . . . playing hardball, huh? Okay, give me a second to change.”

Spinning on her heels, Lauren walked into her bathroom. Glancing back, she gave me a wink and a sexy smile then closed the door.

Placing my hands on my face, I ran them up and down and tried to calm my beating heart. What in the hell is wrong with me? I feel like it’s our first time.

Looking around the room, everything looked perfect. Was it perfect though? Was it romantic enough? Shit.

Sitting down on the end of the bed, I let out a frustrated moan. What if I was moving to fast? We’d only been dating for one month exactly. Maybe I should I wait? The last thing I wanted to do was scare Lauren away. My heart was pounding against my chest as my head and heart duked it out. My heart eventually won.

The door to the bathroom opened and I jumped up. Lauren was standing there with her hand up high on the doorjamb as she gave me the sexiest smile I’d ever seen.

Barely being able to even speak a word, I whispered, “Wow.”

Lauren licked her lips and looked down at the one-piece teddy. The blue brought out her eyes so much they looked as if they were lighting up the whole room. I could see her hard nipples through the lace material and my dick throbbed in my pants.

“How does it look?”

“Better on you than the girl at the store.”

Lauren’s face dropped and I started laughing. Holding up my hands I said, “Sorry! Shit! I’m nervous as hell and I was trying to make a joke.”

Giving me a dirty look, Lauren walked closer to me but stopped just short of my reach. “That was a very bad joke, Mr. Mathews.”

Lacing her arms around my neck, my eyes traveled all over her body. “Very bad,” I mumbled.
