Forever You by Lynn, Sandi (e novels to read txt) 📕

that it wasn’t worth it, and then led her outside to cool off.

“I must say, you can put on quite a show,” I smiled as I hugged her to lighten her mood.

“I’m sorry, I just couldn’t take anymore; I knew this was going to happen if I came back here,” she

said as she buried her face in my chest.

“It's ok, you’ve said your goodbyes to your aunt and uncle, you told off a few people, and now we

can go; unless you want to stay?” Ellery shook her head and said she wanted to leave.

We hopped into the Range Rover, and I had my GPS search for a luxury hotel nearby. Ellery

laughed and told me to reserve a room at the Athenuem Suite Hotel. I smiled because that’s the first

hotel that came up on my GPS, so I reserved the Presidential Suite. I asked her where she wanted to

go. I knew she wanted to visit her mom and dad’s grave, but I wasn’t sure if she needed to go

somewhere else first. Our fingers were interlaced as she brought my hand up to her mouth and lightly

kissed it. She was an amazing woman, and she made me feel so good.

We stopped at the flower shop, and I bought the flowers for her parents’ graves. She became angry

at me when I wouldn’t let her pay; that’s the one thing that I loved most about her. She doesn’t love

me for my money; it never did matter to her. She would rather buy something herself. I don’t care; I

plan on spending every last dime that I have on her. She’s more than worth it, and I want to give her

the world.

Ellery led me to where her parents were buried, and I stepped away to give her some privacy with

them. I overheard her talk about me to them and how she believes that I would do anything for her. I

smiled because she was right; I would do anything and everything for her, and I believe she would do

the same for me as well. I know she loves me. Even though neither of us has spoken those three words

yet, I can feel her love every time she looks at me, holds me, kisses me, and makes love to me. She’s

completely taken over my heart and soul like I knew she would when I first laid eyes on her. I walked

over to her, helped her up from the grass, and took her in my arms.

“You’re far too young to have experienced so much death, Ellery; it hurts me to know what you’ve

been through,” I whispered as I kissed her head. “I can’t even imagine losing my parents, especially

at such a young age. You amaze me with your strength, Ellery, because I don’t know if I could have

made it through if I was in your place.” She let go of me and bent down to pull some weeds that were

surrounding the grave area.

“That’s something you decide whether or not you’re going to do. You can move on and try to live

your life as normal as possible, or you can make the decision to let go of life and let sorrow consume

you. I’m a big believer of fate, and I believe God took my dad so his pain and suffering could end,

and he could be with my mother again.”

This woman amazed me. Her strength and hope was incredible. I was in complete awe of her, and I

planned on spending the rest of my life showing her. “You’re amazing; I don’t know what I did to

deserve to have you in my life,” I said to her as I stroked her long blonde hair. She stood up, wrapped

her arms around my neck, and kissed me. I picked her up and carried her to the Range Rover.

“What are you doing?” she asked with a smile.

“I’m taking you for ice cream,” I smiled back as she buried her head into my neck.

We stopped at a local ice cream parlor and got two cones. We sat across from each other at a

wrought iron table inside the shop. She was turning me on the way she was licking her ice cream, and

she knew it because she was smiling as she was doing it. Damn that smile. I’ve found myself being in

a constant state of arousal when I’m with Ellery. Even when I’m not with her, I still am because I’m

constantly thinking about her.

“You better hurry up and eat that because we need to get to the hotel immediately,” I said.

“Why the hurry, Mr. Black? Are you anticipating something?” She grinned.

“You have no idea what I’m anticipating, Ellery, but I will say it involves some panty ripping,” I

whispered so no one would hear.

She quickly got up from the table, grabbed the ice cream cone from my hand, and threw both of

them in the trash. She grabbed my hand and led me out of the ice cream parlor.

“You better make good on your promise, Connor,” she whispered in my ear before getting into the

SUV.

Chapter 13

We arrived at the hotel and took the elevator up to the Presidential Suite. The expression on

Ellery’s face was exquisite as I opened the door, and she walked in. I walked over to the fireplace

and turned it on. Ellery walked over to me and wrapped her arms around my waist.
