I love you now and forever.
Trev and Lynn
Forever.
I look up into his eyes as tears fill my own. I don’t know what to say.
“I’m in love with you, Lynn. I’ve always loved you, but I stand here sure as the day is long, knowing that I’m completely in love with you,” he says.
I run a hand under my nose and nod my head. “Yeah, I know without question, I’m in love with you too.”
He cups my face and kisses me passionately. I hold the lock against my chest as he pulls me into him. The wind seems to swirl around us then pushes out over the water.
“Want to do the honors?” he asks when he breaks the kiss and kisses the top of my head.
I nod and take the key he hands me to unlock the padlock. He moves behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. I find the perfect spot next to Pook’s lock and click ours into place among all the others.
Trevor then takes the key and holds it before my lips. I kiss the key before he lifts it to his lips to do the same and then tosses it into the River Seine.
“This was perfect. I hope she’s happy.”
“I’m sure she is. If she can see how much I love you, I know she is.”
I turn in his embrace to look up at him. I smile and reach to cup his face. My heart fills with so much love for him.
“Want to show me how much love that is, handsome?”
He sways me in his arms before dipping his head to take my lips. It’s a soft, tender kiss. At first, I don’t think he’s going to lean into it any further.
However, I smile into the kiss as he groans and glides his hands down to grasp my butt and pull me into him. I lock my arms tighter around his neck and allow him to devour my lips.
I’m breathless when he pulls away and looks me in the eyes. “Wow,” I breathe.
“Come on, let’s get back to the room. We can cuddle and talk. Maybe you can play me one of your new songs.”
Disappointment settles in my gut. I thought maybe… never mind. Trevor is a gentleman. It will happen.
“Yeah, I’m not sure about some of the songs. I’d love some feedback. I wish I had someplace to try them out.”
“I’ll listen all night if you want.”
“That’s no help. You have to love everything I write.”
“Who told you that?” he teases.
“You did. You said you love me, so you have to love my music.”
“Hold on now. I’m not going to lie to you because I love you. Love and truth come hand in hand, baby girl.”
My stomach drops. There’s something sexy in the way he says baby girl. It’s new, but I like it.
“Good, because I never want you to lie to me.”
“Never gonna happen in this life or the next.”
My heart soars. What I would give to love this man for a lifetime and then another. I’m already completely head over heels for him in this life.
CHAPTER 18
Undeniable
Lynn
I step out of the shower and wrap myself in a towel. I had to call back home so Trevor took his shower first. My mouth dropped to the floor when he stepped out with nothing more than a towel wrapped around his waist.
Lord, the man is beautiful. I needed to shower just to cool off. As I step out of the shower, I go to grab my lotion to rub some on, but have a thought and change my mind.
Instead, I take the lotion into the bedroom with me. I find Trevor still in his towel while sitting on the edge of the bed on the phone. He glances at me and gives me a weak smile.
I sigh. This might not be the best time for my idea. However, I muster up some courage and push forward anyway.
I saunter over to the accent chair across from him. I take a seat and pour some lotion into my hands before crossing my legs and rubbing the cream into my skin. Trevor looks over to me and raises a brow.
I pretend not to notice and begin to sing to myself softly. Uncrossing and recrossing my legs, I switch to the other leg, moisturizing it.
“Cliff, I need to call you back. Keep your head up; it will all get better.”
A smile comes to my lips as he ends his call. However, I still don’t give him my full attention. I begin to rub lotion into my arms instead.
“What are you up to, darlin’?” Trev says with a smile in his voice.
I look up through my lashes as I rub my hands together. He’s leaning back on his palms as he looks at me. As I thought, there’s a smirk on his lips.
