Anywhere With You (19 page)

“I’m close baby,” Liam cries.

I moan and take him as deep as I can, knowing that the vibration in my throat will send him over the edge. I feel his release warm and salty in my throat and I swallow. I don’t release him from my mouth until I feel him relax against the bed. He hauls me up to him and kisses me hard.

“You. Are. The. Most. Amazing. Girlfriend. Ever.” he says between kisses

I pull away from him and smile. “You’re not so bad yourself, MacCoy,” I say with a wink.

Liam is in a hurry to get to the beach house, so we shower quickly and are on the road before six am. We leave Hales and Aiden a note that we wanted to get a head start and we would see them late tomorrow night. The drive to Wilmington only takes a little over three hours. We stop along the way to eat breakfast at Cracker Barrel. We don’t talk a lot during the drive, but the silence is pleasant. I think that we are both just trying to grasp that we are about to be alone, completely alone for more than just an hour or two. For me, I’m thinking of how I’m going to seduce him. I want to know what it feels like for him to be a part of me. He owns me heart and soul, but physically I want to be connected to him in every way possible.

We make it to the beach house just after ten in the morning. The house is breathtaking. There is really nothing outlandish that stands out, except for the view. I stand at the double glass doors and stare out at the ocean. I feel Liam as he drapes his arms around me his front to my back. He kisses my temple.

“This view is spectacular,” I tell him.

I feel him nod. “It really is. This place belonged to my grandparents. They gave it to my parents for their tenth wedding anniversary. We have spent so much time here that it really is our second home.”

I lean back against his chest just enjoying being here with him. He is all mine for the next twenty-four hours and I’m ecstatic. “So, the water is too cold to really swim, what did you have planned for us?” I ask him.

Liam turns me so that I’m facing him, still locked tight in his arms. “Honestly, I just want to spend time with you, no interruptions. Anything else that you decide you want to do is just a bonus,” he says as he leans in for a kiss.

I smile against his lips, “I don’t want to leave this house until we have to.”

Liam smiles in return, “Well then, I’m glad we stopped at the store on our way in.” He hugs me tight. I love Liam’s hugs.

We decide to unpack our supplies and then prepare lunch. We decide on spaghetti and meatballs, that way there will be plenty of left overs for tonight as well. Liam turns on the radio and we begin cooking together. We don’t talk a lot and we don’t need to. Just being with one another sharing the simple task of preparing a meal, we are both smiling from ear to ear. Liam continues to find little ways to always be touching me. His hand on my back while he reaches above me in the cabinet. A kiss on the temple while offering vegetables from the salad he’s making. He even swats me on the ass when I am bent over in the refrigerator. I can’t help but think about how it would be if we lived together. Sharing duties, making dinner, beginning and ending our days together indefinitely. In my mind, I can see the life that we would build together and I want that, I want him. I just wish that I had the nerve to tell him, my fears of pushing him away prevent me from pouring my heart out to him.

We eat lunch on the deck, enjoying the view of the ocean. Liam suggests that we take a walk on the beach. As soon as we have our mess in the kitchen cleaned up and the left overs packed away, Liam grabs me by the hand and leads me down to the water’s edge. The sun is starting to set by the time we start our journey back to the beach house. We walk hand and hand talking about anything and everything for hours. Liam expresses his fear of the NFL and I open up to him about my fear of being truly and utterly alone in the world.

Liam stops and pulls me close to him, gently cupping my face in his strong hands “Allie, you are not alone. There are so many people in this world who love you.” He pauses gauging my reaction. “I love you,” he whispers right before he merges his lips with mine in the most passionate kiss of my life. I can feel his emotions in every touch of his lips, every swipe of his tongue.
Holy Shit! He loves me!
I throw my arms around his neck and deepen our kiss. I need to taste his lips. This amazing man loves me and has told me for the first time when he knows that I need to hear it the most. The moment is perfect and I want to embed every single detail to my memory. I never want to forget this feeling.

Liam slowly ends our kiss as he rests his forehead to mine. We are both breathing heavy. After taking a minute to catch my breath, I place one hand over his heart and the other gently caresses his cheek “I love you, too, Liam. So much.” I’m looking at his beautiful blue eyes and watch as they grew wet with emotion.

A huge smile breaks out on his face as he picks me up and spins me in circles. We are both smiling and laughing when he finally places me back on my feet. I shiver from the cold night air that is setting in. Liam rubs his hands up and down my arms “Let’s get you back to the house, beautiful girl.”

Back at the house I heat up the left overs while Liam builds us a fire. We settle on the floor at the coffee table and eat our dinner. I watch Liam eat and hell, even that is sexy. I know that I want to be with him, but now that I know he loves me, that want has increased tenfold. Liam has one hand on my thigh while he eats with the other and the sensations of him rubbing circles there is driving me INSANE. He doesn’t know it yet, but he is only increasing my need to seduce him.

After dinner we sit by the fire I’m sitting in between Liam’s legs, my back to his front. We are enjoying a glass of wine and just being in the moment. Liam hugs me tight in his arms. “I meant what I said, Allison.” I turn my head to look at him. He runs his finger down the side of my face. “I love you with everything in me. I never thought I could feel this way. You make life better, you make me better. I can’t imagine my life now, without you in it.” He kisses my temple.

Oh my!
I can’t form words. There is a huge lump in my throat and I’m fighting back tears, tears of joy. I wish there was a way that I could show him how much he means to me. How much happiness, he brings to my life. I was lost before Liam, and now I know exactly where I am. Anywhere he is, my heart and soul are there as well. I get up on my knees still between his legs and brace my hands to his cheeks. “Liam, you are my heart. I have been so afraid to tell you because I thought it would push you away.” I lean in close to his lips never breaking eye contact. “I love you,” then I kiss him. I try to show him how much he means to me through touch, with the battle of our tongues.

Liam pulls away and smiles softly. “Why don’t you head up to shower and call Gran while I clean up, then we can curl up in bed and watch a movie?” I nod in agreement, kiss him quickly and head off towards the shower.

I watch Allison skip off to the shower and take a deep breath.
She loves me!
I was waiting for the right moment this weekend to tell her how much I love her, but when she started talking about being afraid of always being alone, I could no longer hold it in. As long as I breathe she will never be alone. That girl means everything to me, and I will spend each day of forever showing her just how much.

I make quick work of loading the dish washer and cleaning up the kitchen. I race off to the bedroom to find my girl sitting on the bed with a towel around her body and one twisted around her head with the phone to her ear. She is smiling as she listens to whatever it is Gran is telling her. I have yet to meet her Gran but I can tell she is an awesome lady. I kiss her on the cheek and tell her to tell Gran hello as I head for the shower as well, giving them time to finish their conversation.

I hurry through my shower, only taking the time to slide into a pair of boxer briefs. Not wanting to waste one minute of time being away from her. She is still talking to Gran. I don’t want to interrupt her; I know how much she misses her. I slide in behind her on the bed and remove the towel from her head. I grab the brush that is lying beside her and gently begin brushing her hair. I see her shoulders relax at my touch.

She finishes her call with the promise to Gran that we will both be there next weekend for Thanksgiving. I tell Allison to pick out a DVD as I slip my t-shirt over her head and make my way to the kitchen to make us some popcorn. I hop up on the bed and pat the spot next to me for her to climb in.

“So what movie did you pick?”

Allison smile sweetly up at me, “The Notebook.”

I groan in protest but in all honesty we could watch the fucking weather channel for all I care. As long as she’s in my arms, I am a happy man. Six months ago if you would have told me that I would be madly in love and passing up going out with the guys just to be around her, I would have told you that you were an idiot. Things change and I have learned to expect the unexpected in all things love and Allison.

I can feel her laughing beside me at my mock annoyance. I put my arm around her and bring her close.
God, I love this girl!

I think we are about halfway through the movie, honestly I can’t be sure. I have spent the entire time watching Allison. She truly is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and she loves me. I have been touching her and kissing her since the movie started. I can tell that I’m distracting her, but honestly I don’t care. Just being in her presence is distracting to me. I try to be good and keep my hands to myself so that she can watch the movie, but then I remind myself that she’s seen it before.
In that case, game on!

I snuggle closer and place soft kisses on her neck. She tilts her head to the side to give me better access. I smile. I continue kissing and licking while running my hands up and down her thighs. She pushes me on my back and straddles my hips. I reach for the remote and turned the TV off. I don’t want to hear anything but her. I sit up with her in my lap and she binds her legs around my waist. I take her face in my hands, “I love you, beautiful girl.” I kiss her slowly at first, nipping at her bottom lip, running my tongue across it. Then I slowly push my tongue between her lips, exploring her mouth, savoring her taste. I pull back and wait for her to open her eyes and look at me. “Allison, you mean everything to me. I can’t imagine life without you.
I miss you when I’m not with you
…
all I do is think about you
…
” I pause to get my emotions in check. I was on the verge of losing my shit and I need to get this off my chest first. She needs to know what she means to me. “Look into my ey
es and you will find me, look into my heart and you will find you, my heart beats your name. You have permanent residence inside me, eternally. I’m never going to let you go.”

Allison is looking into my eyes, with soft tears running down her cheeks. I kiss them away before finding her lips with mine. I flip us over on the bed so that I am lying on top of her, my weight balanced on my forearms.

Allison runs her hands through my hair. “I don’t want you to ever let me go. I wish …” she pauses collecting her thoughts as I stroke the tears from her cheeks. “I wish that I could find the words to express to you how much you mean to me.” She brings my lips to hers and kisses me like her last breath depends on it. “Let me show you,” she whispers against my lips as her hands trail down my back stopping at my boxer briefs. She begins to tugging to pull them off. I sit up and discard them, when I turn back to the bed her arms are in the air. I lift my shirt over her head and threw it across the room.

I climb back on the bed and position myself on top of her. I can feel her heat against my erection. I need to calm the fuck down before I push her into something she’s not ready for. I try to pull away and Allison grabs my arms.

“Make love to me, Liam. I want to feel you inside me. I want to know what it’s like to be one with you. I love you,” she breathes against my lips.

I stare into her emerald eyes and I can see love, and passion. I don’t see any signs of hesitation, she wants this. This amazing girl is giving me something that she will never be able to give another. I feel hot tears prick the back of my eyes. I’m losing my shit again and this time, I don’t want to hide it. I want her to see how this gift is affecting me, how she affects me.

Allison wipes the lone tear that escapes my eyes. “Liam, you are my soul, I belong to you. I want to share this with you, and only you.”

“Your mine,” I whisper against her lips. I slowly move my way down to her breast taking my time with each one of them. I move my hand to her center and can feel that she’s ready for me. It’s then that it hits me. “Shit,” I say against her neck.

“What?” she croaks out.

“I don’t have a condom. I didn’t bring you here for this. I just wanted to be with you, alone,” I tell her.

Allison embraces my cheek and lifts up so that I’m looking at her. “Liam, I’m on the pill,” she tells me.

I look at her in question so she continues on. “The week after we became official, Hailey went with me to the clinic. We’re protected.”
