Rocked by Love

I can only spend a few days here in Loveland. I want to spend them with you. They can be in bed, they can be in this bar, they can be on top of a sand dune. I don’t really care so long as the hours are with you. Will you be with me?” I lay my hand on the bar, palm up, and wait.

The kiss takes me by surprise, but I don’t hesitate. When opportunity knocks at your door, you throw it the fuck open and welcome that bastard inside.

“I don’t know how to say this in a way that’s not totally threatening, but Irish, I’m not letting you go.”

It’s hard to say what the future is going to hold, but I know for a fact I’m only gonna be happy if you’re part of that.”

I maneuver my wife into a corner. I slap a hand on the wall and lean close, blocking everyone’s view of her beautiful body. “They’re going to try to steal you away, so promise me again you’ll never leave me.”
