By the time I park the car, and we look out over the ocean, the apprehension I felt is gone.
“Thanks, Dad,” I murmur.
“You’re welcome.” He grins at me. “So, do you love her?”
“Oh yeah, thanks for the car as well.”
Dad shakes his head. “I meant Fallon.”
I let out a chuckle. “With all my heart.” I turn slightly in the seat so I can look at Dad as I say, “I’m going to ask her to marry me.”
Dad’s eyebrows pop up. “Wow, aren’t you full of surprises?”
“I’ve already spoken to Mr. Reyes.”
His eyebrows lift even higher. “How did that go?”
I let out a heavy sigh and shake my head, and when Dad begins to frown, I say, “I got his blessing.”
“Fucker,” Dad mumbles. “You had me worried there for a second.”
Knowing we have to have this conversation at some point, I say, “Noah and I have been talking. I don’t have the patience to work with numbers.”
“Do you want to take over from your Uncle Jax?”
I nod. “Do you mind?”
“Not at all.” Dad gives me a reassuring smile. “Will Noah then stay on an extra year at Trinity to complete his masters in accounting?”
“Yeah, he’s already enrolled.”
“Then it’s all good.”
“Also,” I clear my throat, “seeing as I’m graduating, I’ll have to look for a place of my own.”
“Whaaat?” Dad pretends to be shocked. “You’re not coming back home?”
I let out a burst of laughter. “Not a chance.”
“Ungrateful little shit,” he teases, but then he grows serious again. “Your mom and I will give you and Fallon a house as an engagement present.”
“Thanks, Dad.” I reach over the space between us and hug him tightly, then I grin. “So, what’s our limit?”
Dad begins to laugh. “There’s no limit when it comes to my son’s first house. Just let me know the price, and I’ll transfer the funds to your bank account.” Dad thinks for a moment, then he says, “Actually, seeing as you’re graduating, I’ll transfer an amount that has to last you until your first paycheck.”
“If you send me a hundred dollars, I’m telling Mom.”
Dad lets out a burst of laughter. “Come on, let’s get out of here. I have a date with your mother.”
Starting the car, I pull out of the parking area, and I steer us back in the direction of my parents' house.When I get back to the suite, I go check Fallon’s room, but finding it empty, I walk to mine, where I find her curled up on my bed.
I shut the door behind me and lock it before I kick off my shoes. I strip down to my boxers and then crawl onto the bed.
I press a kiss to her healed cheek, and it has her stirring.
“Hey, beautiful,” I murmur.
Fallon turns onto her back and stretches out. “Hey, how did it go with your Dad?”
“Good.” I push up her shirt and press a kiss to her toned stomach. “We drove around.”
“Hmm…” she moans as I push her shirt over her breasts.
“No bra. I like this,” I tease before I suck her nipple between my teeth. Pulling back, I take hold of her sweatpants and panties and drag them down her legs. I kiss my way up her body until I reach her shirt and pause to pull it over her head.
When I have Fallon naked, I quickly get rid of my boxers. I part her legs with my lower body, and then I rest my arms on either side of her head. I stare at her beautiful face for a moment before I press my lips to hers, and then I kiss her with all the happiness I feel.
Fallon’s arms wrap around me, and her palms brush over my skin until she grabs hold of my ass.
I begin to rub my cock against her clit, and it has Fallon lifting her hips to get closer to me.
I deepen the kiss, my tongue brushing hard strokes against her as I reach down, and positioning myself at her entrance, I push inside with one thrust.
Fallon throws her head back, a gasp rushing over her lips, and then she moans, “God, so good.”
My mouth latches onto her throat as I pull out before I drive back into her. Unable to keep the pace slow, my hips speed up, and when Fallon’s body begins to tense up beneath mine, I quickly claim her moan with my mouth so the others won’t hear us.
I keep thrusting fast and hard, and when I feel Fallon shudder against me, my own orgasm shoots through my body.
We capture each other's moans with a heated kiss, and once our releases fade, I slowly keep pumping into her, not wanting to pull out yet.
Fuck, I wish I could just bury myself permanently inside her. Knowing that’s not an option, I reluctantly pull out, and we go clean ourselves up before crawling under the covers. I pull Fallon against me and drop a kiss on her hair as she rests her cheek on my chest.
