“Touch me Gunner…please keep touching me.” I begged. God I didn’t want him to stop.
Gunner leaned in and started to kiss me again. I felt him move my bra and it released my breasts to him. His hand moved and started to caress each one. Then he started to play with my nipple. I let out a moan against his mouth and I felt him press his hips harder into me.
There was a strange intense feeling building in my body. What the hell was going on? I pressed my hips harder into Gunner and started to rock against him. He kept playing with my nipples, twisting them and pulling them. He pushed me harder into the jeep and took his other hand and grabbed the back of my head and deepened our kiss as he pressed harder into me.
Oh. My. Fucking. Hell…..
Something was happening to me….I pulled away from Gunner as it hit me full force. I started to scream out his name as the feeling got so intense I thought I was going to die. Gunner captured my screams with his mouth.
I thought for a brief moment I had left my body. As I started to come down from the overwhelming pulsating sensations Gunner slowed down his kissing and stopped playing with my nipple. He moved his hand around to my back. I felt so weak I think if he were to put me down right now I would collapse onto the ground.
Gunner ever so slowly pulled away from my mouth as I opened my eyes. I was breathing like I just ran a fucking marathon and so was he. He leaned his forehead against mine and we didn’t move until we both caught our breath.
“Baby, please tell me that was your first orgasm.”
Fuck me….I just had an orgasm. I was going to fucking KILL Ari for not telling me how fucking amazing they were. Were all of them this wonderful? Maybe it is because it was with Gunner? I didn’t even know you could have one without having sex…..Okay well, I did, but not just by kissing and a little hip grinding.
“Gunner…..” It was all I could manage to get out of my mouth. I watched as a smile came across that beautiful face of his.
“Another first baby?”
I started to laugh. “YES! Another first!”
Gunner grabbed me by the back of the head and kissed the shit out of me again. He pulled away and kissed the tip of my nose.
“My God Ellie the things you do to me baby. I want to make you feel that good every day.”
“I would be okay with that!”
Gunner threw his head back and laughed.
“Ellie thank you for allowing me to do that for you. You’ve had a very busy day of firsts haven’t you?”
I let out a giggle as he slowly started to lower me to the ground and I adjusted my bra.
“Yes but I think that last one was my favorite out of all of them!” I said as I looked up at him. My god he was so handsome and his eyes were filled with…….love.
Gunner pushed me back up against the jeep and started to kiss me again. It was the most magical moment of my life and nothing would ever top it.
Gunner slowly moved his lips from mine but kept them just barley touching mine.
“Ellie…..I love you…….”
Nope, I was so wrong…….that was the most magical moment of my life.
“I love you too Drew.”
Gunner pulled back his head and stared at me in shock. I was pretty damn shocked myself that I just said that out loud. It was true though and it felt like the exact right moment to say it.
Then he smiled. I felt my body slowly start sliding down the jeep……my knees would not hold me up. Gunner reached around my hips and pulled me and pressed me into the jeep again.
“You just made me the happiest man on earth Ellie Johnson. I will love you for the rest of my life baby.”
Then he kissed me so slow and so sweet. My heart was squeezing in my chest. I did it; I gave my heart away to someone when I swore I would never do it again. I prayed to God that Gunner was right….will he love me the rest of his life? Will he always want me?
You will never be wanted by anyone……..
I felt a tear roll down my face. Gunner must have felt it too. He pulled back and wiped it away with his thumb.
“Please tell me that is a happy tear sweetheart.”
“Yes, yes it is. Promise me that you will not break my heart Drew. Promise me that will you?”
He looked at me and his eyes started to fill with tears. Oh my…..
“Ellie, I would rather die than ever break your heart. I have never in my life felt like this. I would lay down my life for you if I had to. I love you baby.”
I reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck as he lifted me off the ground. I wanted to stay right here just like this forever!
In Gunner’s arms laying under the stars at the ranch.
“You ready to head back to the house sweetheart?”
Every time he called me sweetheart or baby my stomach did flip flops. I loved it so much. I loved him so much. Yes….I loved him and if he was willing to take a leap of faith on us, so was I.
“Okay, except we hardly ate anything your grandmother packed. I feel so bad!”
“Don’t worry about it. We can take it with us down to the river tomorrow. Jeff and I have a few things to take care of in the morning around the ranch but we are free all afternoon. What do you say you and Ari meet us at the river around one?”Gunner said as he brought the basket back over to the jeep and I folded up the blanket and set it on the back seat.
“Sounds good, but how will we find our way to the river? This place is HUGE!”
Gunner let out a laugh as he went to start the jeep. It wouldn’t turn over. Oh shit. After two more attempts it finally started.
“I need to tell Drake that the battery needs replacing in this thing. Make sure y’all take my truck tomorrow and I will have Grams tell y’all how to get there in the morning.”
Gunner reached over and gave me a kiss before he pulled out onto the gravel road and headed back to the ranch house. I had never in my life felt as happy as I did at this moment. I never wanted to leave. I thought I was so excited about starting school at UT in the fall but I found myself dreaming of starting a family with Gunner and living here on the ranch. What a silly dream….he was going to school to become an Architectural Engineer, not a rancher.
We drove in silence until we reached the ranch house. Before Gunner got out I reached over and held his arm to stop him.
He turned and looked at me with a smile. “What’s wrong sweetheart?”
I was not sure why I needed to ask him this but it all of a sudden became very important to me.
“Nothing is wrong it’s just….well I mean with us talking about wanting kids and everything I just…..well I just wanted to ask you…..shit….this is not coming out right!”
“Ellie, I’ve already told you sweetheart you can ask me anything you want. I’ll never hide anything from you.”
“I just was wondering where you saw yourself in the future? I mean I know you only have one more year of college and your degree is in Architectural Engineering but you also love football so much. Jefferson mentioned that you already had NFL teams interested in you. Do you see yourself playing pro football?”
Gunner sat back in his seat and pushed his hand through his hair. Holy hell I loved it when he did that and I started to get that damn ache between my legs again. I had to fiddle around in my seat to ease the ache. Gesh how does he turn me on so easily?
Gunner looked over at me after sitting there for almost a minute in silence.
Oh shit….here it is….. I just knew he was going to say he sees himself playing pro ball….did I want to be with someone who would be traveling all the time….the women who would always be after his attention I just couldn’t imagine it….my heart just sank.
“Honestly Ellie, my dream ever since I was a little kid was to build and design buildings and to run this ranch. I figured I could do both so that’s why I majored in Architectural Engineering. Jeff and I both are going to get hired on where we have been interning after we get out of school but I already worked it out to where I would do most of my work from out here. My number one dream is to take over this ranch. I would like to get married here, have my kids here and raise them right here on the ranch.”
