She nods and looks from the tattoo to my eyes. I hope she sees I'm sincere.
Apparently she does because she reaches up on her tiptoes to suck my Adam's apple. She has to know we're not going to the store after that.
In seconds, I have her in my arms and we're back in the bed, reconnecting again.
Chapter 26 Knox

Coming here was definitely the right choice. Making love with Foster all morning has been the best day of my life, and we're only getting started. There's still some bitter tension in the air between us, but each orgasm seems to break down barriers and bring us together.
"You have lights?" Last night, I didn't fully get a chance to check out the depth of the junk in this cabin, but this morning, in the middle of it all, sits strings of fairy lights in a huge mess on the floor. Another strand is draped over the kitchen chair.
His head raises up to glance around but falls back down to the bed. "It was dark."
"Are they for me?"
"Everything is for you."
I kiss the tattoo on his chest, but his hands by my ears pull me away. "Let's go get fresh milk and better coffee."
"I really don't need food." Although my stomach is starting to grumble.
"You do." His hand skims over my hip and waist. I've lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw him. "Let's go."
"All right." He slaps my hips and we both force ourselves to get out of the bed.

Cruising under the winding, tree-lined roads of the state park reminds me of the Hamptons but in a uniquely sunny California way. Foster looks different in a black Dodge Ram truck instead of a motorcycle. Still gorgeous, eyes still that stunning shade of green that in this light looks more blue, but his jaw is relaxed and his limbs hang loose. Now that could be a hangover or post-coital bliss, but something in him has been altered by his time in the mountains. It's like the stress of the city has been drained from him and he's lighter. I wonder if the mountains will do that for me too? I can smell it in the air. This place is peaceful.
We pass through a two-lane town. "You don't want to stop here?"
"No. I want you to have more choices, and I need supplies."
"Like food?"
"Yes. And some wood."
"To burn?"
"To build."
I'm not asking what he plans to build because I don't know if I'm part of his future plans or not and I'm not ready to talkabout it yet. If this is temporary, I want to enjoy the bliss as long as possible.
We finally park in a shopping center in a quaint beach town called Santa Cruz.
"It's gorgeous here," I say as he gets out of the truck and walks around to my side.
"Yeah." He grins at me as he opens my door. Oh yes, he's still giddy from our phenomenal makeup sex this morning. "Let's get you some lunch."
"Okay."
We sit down on the patio of a cute beach shack and nibble on tortilla chips as we wait for his fish tacos and my veggie burrito. The California sun is shining down on us, and the weather is so mild, you could wear shorts even though it's early May.
The freedom of anonymity and the lack of sideways glances strikes me as a rare treat. It feels like a vacation.
He's still smiling and plants a kiss on my ear. "Your skin is shining in the sun. You look like an angel."
