My heart thunders in my chest. The words are on the tip of my tongue. But I am too much of a goddamned coward to say them.
For a moment, I genuinely loathe myself.
Pearl eventually quiets against me and we stand for a long moment, soaking each other up. I know that I will have to tell her how I feel before I reveal that I’m taking her land…
But I don’t have to do it at this exact moment. There will be time.
Thirty-Four
Pearl
Isit in the passenger seat of River's truck and absentmindedly watch the scenery as it flies by. My stomach is fluttery and nervous. Not because of the GCUFOs meet-up that River is taking me to, no. But because I decided A Big Thing last night when I was falling asleep next to his big, warm body.
I decided that I have to tell River how I feel, today. More explicitly, that I have to say those three little words that I've never said to a man that wasn't my dad or my brother.
I love you.
Just thinking about it makes my whole body clench. It shouldn't leave me feeling petrified. But it does.
What if he doesn't feel the same way?
I sneak a glance at River out of the corner of my eye. He catches me looking and smirks. "What?"
I snicker. "Nothing."
River snakes his hand out and puts it on my thigh with a wink.
"Thinking dirty thoughts about me?"
I flush. "No..."
"Yes, you were. I can tell. You were just wondering when the next time that I can bind your wrists, cover your eyes, and spend hours bringing you close to the edge with my fingers and tongue deep in your pussy. Admit it. You're getting wet for me right now."
His deep voice washes over me and heat flashes through my veins. I bite my lip and try not to grin. "God damn it, River. You know I love it when you talk dirty to me."
"I could pull over somewhere private and we could recreate our quickie in the car." He wiggles his eyebrows.
"Quickie? We spent an hour in here, if I remember correctly."
"You know that whenever I fuck, I like to make an event of it. An hour is nothing."
I grin. "I do know that about you. And on behalf of women everywhere, I thank you. We need more than a little drunk groping and then sticking it in."
River's eyes sparkle. "I've never heard any complaints."
I laugh at that. "No, not from me anyway."
He squeezes my thigh and bites his lip in a way that makes me flush all over. "I'm going to make you scream my name later. You know that, right?"
I shift in my seat, my pussy damp. Maybe we should pull over and...
But before I can say anything, River turns off into the dirt parking lot beside the bluff. "This is where you want to be, isn't it?"
I huff. "Yes. If you think for a second that I'm not going to remind you of what we just talked about when we're on the way home though, you're crazy."
"Oh, it's going to happen. I'm going to enjoy making you wait for a little while."
He turns off the truck and slips out of his seat. I roll my eyes and follow him.
