I’ve never seen a queue this big in Trout Creek. It snakes all the way from the entrance of the local bookstore to the end of Main Street, spilling out into one of the secondary roads. I can’t help but grin as I make my way to the VIP entrance. All these people are waiting for her. For my girl. I couldn’t be prouder.
After meeting Maxine and spending two sex-crazed weeks with her, she returned to the city with a finished book. Soon after, she gave her notice on the studio she was renting to come live with me in Trout Creek. That month without her was the longest one of my life.
Her book sales exploded, and she soon snagged a publishing deal. Now, readers from all over the country line up to get their books signed by her, talking about the scorching sex scenes and the incredible love stories of the main characters.
I head straight to the table where Max is preparing for another signing. “How’s my favorite girl doing?” I ask, pulling her close for a passionate kiss.
“Nervous. Five more minutes until the doors open.”
“There’s no need to be nervous, Max. You’ve got this.”
“Do I look okay?” she asks, smoothing her long hair.
“Are you kidding me? You look gorgeous.”
She takes a deep breath, steadying herself against the table.
“Is everything okay? Are you sure you’re still up for this?”
She gives me a playful slap on the arm. “I’m eight months pregnant, not suffering from a terrible disease. Besides, this will be the last signing of the year before I give birth. I want to make it as memorable as possible.”
I wiggle my eyebrows at her. “And afterward, I’ll give you a memorable night if you’re not too tired.”
She grins. “I’ll never be too tired to have sex with you, Sawyer.”
“Oh yeah?”
Her gaze flicks to the entrance, where a bookstore employee is unlocking the doors. She quickly sits down, pen in hand. “I’m going to be signing books now, but after that, I’m all yours. I’ve been dreaming of your naked body underneath me since I woke up this morning.”
My dick twitches at the thought of me and her alone again. “I can’t wait,” I say, taking a seat beside her at the signing table and planting a kiss on her forehead.
People run through the now opened doors, and I watch as they request selfies and photographs, talking about how much they love Maxine’s books and squealing when they realize I’m the mountain man she gets her inspiration from.
I sit back and take it all in, enjoying every second. I still can’t believe I met my girl two years ago and made her mine. She’s made me the happiest man alive, and now I’m going to be a father. I can’t wait to raise our son together and spend every night next to Max.
With her, every second feels like heaven. I’m never letting her go.
