“Bothering me?” Zack repeats incredulously, reaching across the console to cup her chin gently. “Anna, you are not bothering me. You are driving me absolutely crazy in the best possible way.” His thumb strokes along her jawline, his green eyes intense and sincere. “Excited? Yeah, I am fucking thrilled. So excited I can barely focus on driving straight.” He leans closer, their faces inches apart in the confined space of the car. “The problem isn’t that I am not excited. The problem is that you

  • Tenderness is a Dangerous Thing   Chapter 148: Snacks

    “Snacks. Of course,” Zack says, his voice thick with affection. “You are a menace, you know that? We are in the middle of a motel room, you have got no clothes, and all you can think about is chips and candy.” He pulls back just enough to look at Anna, his hands sliding down to rest on her waist. The cool air of the room hits their damp skin, but the heat between them keeps it at bay. “I will get your bag. And I will find your damn vending machine,” he promises, giving her waist a gentle squeeze. “But do not think this gets you out of paying those high rates later. I am picking out the snacks too, so no healthy shit.” She kisses him again. “Thank you,” she sings sweetly. His hands tightened on her waist or a brief moment at her sweetness, before he let out a long, defeated breath.Zack knows he is completely wrapped around Anna’s finger, and he is long past trying to fight it. “Stop doing that,” he

    Zack’s hands slide down her arms, his thumbs tracing slow, deliberate circles over her elbows before moving to her collarbone. The soapy water drips from his fingers, catching the dim light of the bathroom. He works with a focused intensity, his touch firm enough to leave a trail of warmth wherever he presses. “You are so quiet,” he notes, his voice a low rumble against her skin as he moves to her shoulders. “Usually, you have got something witty to say back to me.” He does not wait for an answer, instead letting his hands roam lower, his palms smoothing over the curves of her torso beneath the water. “That’s it,” he murmurs, his eyes meeting hers over her shoulder. “Just relax for me. I have got you.”“I am just enjoying the services,” Anna says with a playful smile. Zack’s smirk widened with pride at her response, as he moves his hands down her sides, his fingers pressing lighting into her waist.

    Zack’s competitive nature softens into something more vulnerable as he leans back against Anna’s chest fully, letting her hold him for a moment. The warm water swirls around their bodies while steam rises in gentle wisps between them. “I am serious though,” he says quietly, his voice losing its usual edge. “I want to grow old with you. watch you get wrinkles and complain about your back hurting and still think you are the most beautiful woman in the room.” His free hand splashes water playfully at her side underwater. She laughs softly. “Now is that not an image,” she says with a strange amusement. “It actually sounds very romantic.” Zack’s face lights up with triumphant satisfaction at her romantic response, his chest swelling with pride as he feels her laugh against his back.“Romantic? Fuck yes, it is,” Zack says confidently, turning to face Anna fully in the tub. Water cascades down his muscular

    “Oh yeah?” Zack growls lowly, his hands sliding down from Anna’s shoulders to grip her waist firmly. “You had better fucking mean that. Because if you make me sit through some spa treatment with cucumber slices on my eyes, I am expecting payback.” His thumbs dug into her hips possessively while his green eyes lock onto hers with intense focus, searching for any sign of hesitation in her promise. “Tell me exactly what you have in mind,” he commands roughly, his voice carrying that dominant edge she finds too irresistible. “I could oil you up.” She says playfully. “Give you a more intimate massage…” her voice carries a seductively suggestive tone. His eyes darken with obvious desire at her seductive suggestion.The steamy bathroom feels like it is closing it around them as Zack pulls Anna flush against his chest, one hand sliding up to grip the back of her neck possessively. “Fuck yes,” he grow

    The steamy bathroom fills with the gentle sounds of water lapping against their bodies while bubbles cling to her skin in the warm lighting from above. “Yeah, you do,” Zack says with a low chuckle, nipping playfully at Anna’s earlobe. “Like during our study session.” His hands move through the water to rest possessively on her hips, thumbs brushing against the sensitive skin just above her thighs. “Riding me while studying the cold war. That really turned me on during my history exam.” He continues with amusement in his voice. “I guess I was having trouble thinking straight that day,” she said with a light laugh. His competitive nature ignites with triumphant satisfaction at her light laugh, his smirk widening as he remembers that study session vividly.The steamy bathroom feels smaller somehow, filled with the intimate sounds of water lapping against their bodies while bubbles cling to Anna’s skin in the warm lighti

    Zack’s competitive nature softens completely at Anna’s warm smile and sincere words, his expression becoming unguarded in the steamy bathroom. The bathroom’s warm lighting casts gently shadows across his face as he pulls her closer against his chest, the water swirling around their intertwined bodies. “I am fucking ecstatic we are,” he says quietly, his voice carrying genuine emotion. “For years I thought I had ruined any chance of this happening. That I had pushed you away too many time with my bullshit.” His hands move through the bubbles to cup her face gently, thumbs brushing away any lingering steam from her cheeks. “But you never gave up on me,” he continues softly his green eyes searching hers.“I held out hope,” Anna admitted softly. “But it was you who finally got the ball rolling. And you were not gently about it either.” Her voice grew more playful. “Being all pushy and unclear. You

    “Hmmm,” Anna thinks playfully. “How about we get something to eat first. Something tells me I am going to need energy. Then we can go to the motel.” Zack perks up at the suggestion of refueling before continuing their activities. The idea of feeding her properly after what

    Zack recalls the conversation he and Anna had in their English class, when he compared her to a car: “Hell yes, Anna. You are the best fucking car I have ever seen. You are built for reliability. Like one of those classic American sedans– solid frame, engine that never gives out.

    “Good. I like knowing I am not the only one getting called into the principal’s office for this.” Zack’s tone was light now, teasing rather than defensive. “So, what did he say? Did he threated to ground you if you keep seeing me?” The city lights below cast a
