Chapter Thirteen

Liz

I roll over and stare at the most handsome man in the world. These last few months have been surreal and I can't help wondering if it's all been a dream.

"Good morning, beautiful." Dean's voice is gravelly, and still filled with sleep.

I trail my fingers down the side of his face, all the while staring intently into his eyes. "I love you, baby."

Lifting my arm above his head, Dean slides his body into mine and presses his lips against my own. "I'm going to miss having you around here," he manages to say between kisses.

A tear forms in the corner of my eye and he quickly brushes it away. I've never felt this way about anyone and it's tearing me apart knowing today is the day I'm leaving. Though we've both agreed this isn't goodbye, I know with the distance and Dean's schedule, we'll eventually grow apart. Distance has never been my friend.

"I'm going to miss you, too."

I roll onto my back while Dean crawls on top of me. I spread my legs, allowing him to easily slide inside of me. Not only am I going to miss him, but I'm going to miss these magical moments together. The way we fit so fluidly, so flawlessly…

I grab hold of his hips, forcing him to go deeper My breathing intensifies and before I know it, I'm shouting his name.

"Dean. Ohhh… Dean!"

"That's it, baby. Right there," he pants.

Dean rests his head against my chest while he waits for his breathing to return to normal. I sweep my hand across his back as beads of sweat form underneath my fingertips.

I never knew what it was like to make love to a man until he came along. And it's something I'll never forget.

"Liz," he whispers my name, taking me away from the lust-filled thoughts that had clouded my head just moments ago.

"Yes?"

"I've been thinking. Thinking about me. You. Us."

Damn it, don't' do this to me.

My body begins to tremble.

"Stay. Stay here with me. Don't leave. Please," he begs.

"But I thought—"

"Never mind what I thought. I was scared, okay? But I'm more scared of losing you."

I bury my face in his shoulder and he wraps his arms around me. "I love you so much."

"I love you, too."

I reach over and grab the set of keys off of the nightstand and dangle it from my finger. "I think we have a U-Haul to unpack."

The End
