“You sure?”

“It’s all a lot to deal with. Losin’ him the way we did. Seein’ him like that. It’s changed somethin’ in me.”

“I’d like to think it changed you for the better.”

“It hasn’t. It’s worse, Feather. It dragged me into a hole I thought I’d never get out of.”

“Yet you’re here.”

“Because of you. What if you weren’t here?” I ask her.

“I haven’t done much, Pike.”

“You’ve done more than you think. You stayed, Feather. When anyone else would have run or let me push them away, you stayed.”

“Trust me, it wasn’t that easy,” she says, breathing against me.

“I know it wasn’t, but here you are. You fought your own battles and still took on mine. That says somethin’ about you, baby.”

“What’s it say about me?”

“That you’re loyal and you’re not goin’ anywhere. You’re here to stay. I’m keepin’ you, Feather. Now and forever.”

“I like the sound of that,” she says softly as I turn my head and capture her lips with mine. I kiss her gently at first before kissing her harder. I drag her around so she’s straddling my lap as I kiss her more. I don’t stop either. I don’t stop even as the room bursts into laughter. I don’t stop as they cry. I don’t stop as I listen to words about Rooster. I keep my focus on her. I keep kissing her, knowing this could be the last day of my life, and I’d gladly take it with her.

“Everyone is out here,” she whispers. I smirk against her lips.

“You think I was gonna fuck you right here?” I ask her. She wiggles her hips, causing my cock to stir and press against her.

“I thought that’s why you were kissing me like that?”

“Is that what you think?” Her cheeks turn pink as I look at her and slip my hand between us. I pull my cock free and slide her panties to the side before shoving her down my length. No one is paying attention to us. No one cares what we’re doing in the back of the room. My cock sinks inside her, and I know this is the best place to be.

“Pike,” she whispers.

“Feather.”

“You can’t do this here,” she whines as a moan falls from her lips. I raise my hips slightly as she rolls hers, and I can feel her pussy clench around me.

“Fuck,” I groan as she keeps doing it.

“You like this?” she asks.

“I more than like it. Thought you said we couldn’t do this right here?”

“You started it,” she taunts, clenching and pulling once more. The more she moves, the more I can’t take it. I grab her face in my hands and kiss the hell out of her.

“I love you, Feather.”
