But I shake my head again, still crying and hiccuping at once.
“No, it’s not that,” I protest again. “It’s just … I mean, is this even going to exist after the weekend ends?”
Curt looks confused for a moment.
“Well, it was Travis who bought the estate, but if you want to come back, I’m sure they’ll let us. I mean, Halsey’s going to be moving here full-time, so I’m sure she’ll let us use the forest on occasion.”
I hiccup again, tears still streaming down my face.
“No, not that!” I babble. “I mean, are we still going to see each other after the weekend’s over? Now that you’ve gotten what you want, are you really going to come to the dorms and we’ll date like we’re a couple? Or is it just going to be occasional hook-ups and hot times, like this chase thing?”
A look of understanding crosses my handsome lover’s features then. He reaches one big hand to brush back my curly hair before reaching down to cup a big breast in his palm.
“So that’s what’s got you worried, hmm?” he rumbles. “I get it now.”
“Yes!” I cry out. “I mean, I’ve basically given myself body and soul to you these past few days, and I can’t help but wonder if it’s just a roll in the hay. I mean, that would be convenient, wouldn’t it? A young woman who’s willing to let you use her body, whenever and wherever you want? Who begs you for it, even?”
Curtis nods, but then shakes his head, those blue eyes fierce.
“It would be convenient, but that’s not what I had in mind, Annie. In fact, as crazy as it sounds, I was hoping that we’d continue to see each other. That is, if you don’t mind an old geezer like me showing up at your dorm to take you out. You’ll be the talk of campus,” he adds in a rueful tone. “People will be asking you, who’s that ancient dude you’re with?”
I jerk my chin up to stare into his eyes.
“Really?” I whisper. “You mean that? So we’re going to see each other like normal people? You’re going to take me out to meals, and we’ll spend time together watching movies and doing boring stuff?”
Curtis throws his dark head back and laughs a little, flashing bright white teeth.
“Well, you know I’m not in school, so I won’t be hitting the books or anything like that. But yeah, I’ll come to the library with you sometimes. I’ll just be watching movies on my phone, but I’m here for you, sweet girl. We’ll try it out and see where this relationship takes us.”
“Really?” I ask in a faltering whisper. “You mean it?”
Curt winks at me.
“Hey, there are no rules about watching movies on your phone in the library, right? They can’t throw me out if I decide to binge all ten seasons of Game of Thrones with my earbuds in.”
I giggle through my blurred vision.
“I think there are only eight seasons of that show,” I manage in a semi-teary voice. “But no, you can do whatever you like in the library so long as you’re quiet.”
Curtis gets a devilish look on his blue eyes then.
“Really? Whatever I like? Tell me, sweetheart: are there deserted areas in the library?” he asks, waggling his black brows at me. “Somewhere where I could give you a pussy kiss, at least? Mmm, imagine that. You, totally nude, with one leg propped up on a stack of books while I suck that bulging clit. Hell yeah,” he jokes.
I giggle then, swatting his massive chest.
“Oh, you’re so terrible,” I say through my hiccups once more. “You’re such a bad man!”
The handsome cop merely pulls me close before pressing another kiss to my forehead.
“Yes, but you love it,” he growls. “And I’m only bad for you, Annie. You know I’ve enjoyed our time together, and yes, I want to see where this goes. So if it means library pussy kisses, and ravishing you in your tiny dorm room bed, then so be it. I’m game.”
With that, I dissolve into happy laughter even as Curt growls and kisses me again because this is exactly what I was hoping for. I’ve had a crush on my friend’s father for months now, and not only did we make love, but he also wants to see if we can build something together long-term. What could be better? I run my hands through his dark hair while sighing with contentment.
“Happy?” he growls, those blue eyes flashing.
“Very much so,” I whisper with a smile.
Then we kiss again, right there on the forest floor, and I know that my future has only just begun.
EPILOGUE
Annie
We’re at the Loyola cafeteria, and Curtis was right. There are definitely people looking at us as we carry our trays to an empty table.
“See?” my boyfriend mutters, handsome in a blue polo shirt and casual denim. “They’re all wondering who that pretty young woman is with the ancient geezer following behind her.”
