Chapter 140: SUGAR AND SALT: VALERIE

It was almost midnight by the time we arrived back at the cabin on my parent's property. My mom had made a light supper of chicken, crackers, cheese and a few of her fabulous pulled pork sandwiches. Flynn split one in half and stuffed the whole thing in his mouth.

"Hungry bear," I smirked.

"You don't say that when I'm eating your pussy, babe."

"Flynn Docherty, do you think about sex all the time?"

"No, I sleep sometimes as well," he said deadpan and walked me gently back against the wall while his hands caged me in.

His eyes penetrated mine in a stare so full of love and protection it took my breath away. "Have I ever told you I get lost in your eyes," he whispered.

I stood silently, and he dropped his forehead gently to meet mine, "I can't believe my luck, Valerie. Promise you'll never leave me. What we're about to do... the baby, Melanie, Bernie, launching the band... I worry about us," he said swallowing roughly as his voice filled with emotion.
