~ COLTON ~“Colton, I… I love you. And I wanna do this with you,”For the second time that night, Colton was rendered speechless. This wasn’t the first time a girl has ever confessed their feelings to him, but this was the first time that it ever mattered. His heart had literally stopped beating, his breath was caught in his throat, and all he could do was stare at her.“Will you say something? Please?” she said again, looking up at him nervously.Did you ever have something so good happen to you that you didn’t know how to react? Well, this is happening to Colton right now. His heart never felt so full and complete. Life could end right now and he wouldn’t mind it.“Colton–”Before Sierra could get another word out, Colton pulled her into his arms and crashed his lips onto her. Her body trembled as he kissed her hard and deep, but Colton only held on tighter. He knew he could just say the words back to her, but it didn’t seem like it was enough. He needed more ways to express what he

~ COLTON ~“Someone had a great night last night,” Jackson snickered as Colton entered the house. He was sitting on the chair next to the couch in the living room, and Levi was sitting on the chair next to him. “Y’all pretty much ruined the couch,” he added with a playful grin, motioning to the bloodstain marking the leather couch. The blood had dried up and it was pretty much a permanent stain at this point.“Screw the damn couch,” Colton rolled his eyes lazily and threw a blanket over the mark.“Took you a while, but you finally did it,” Jackson stood up and started clapping his hands. Then he strode over to Colton and put an arm around his cousin’s shoulder. “I gotta hand it to you, Colt. You handsome son of a gun!”“Mind your own goddamn business, Jack,” Colton shoved Jackson away and walked towards the stairs. He thought it was juvenile that Jackson was celebrating him getting a girl’s virginity like some frat boy in a fraternity.“Hey, don’t get pissed off at me. We flew a damn

~ COLTON ~- - - - - TWO WEEKS LATER - - - - -“Congratulations on your graduation, Colton,” Dean Monroe said as he shook Colton’s hand. Behind them, hundreds of students in light blue caps and gowns were cheering and laughing happily, hugging each other and taking photos. It was graduation day and the great hall in Columbia was filled with all the graduates and their family and friends.“Thank you, sir,” Colton said as he shook the dean’s hand back.“I think your father would be very proud of you,” Dean Monroe continued.“I sure hope so,” Colton said with a smile.The dean nodded his head at Colton one last time before moving on to congratulate some other students. Colton stepped aside from the stage and stood in a quieter area. Unlike all the other graduates there, he didn’t invite any of his family or friends, not even his cousins. None of the people in his family understood why he came back to Columbia when he should be leading the family’s company instead. Inviting them over her

~ SIERRA ~- - - - - THREE WEEKS LATER - - - - -Time passes by so fast when you’re having fun. That was certainly the case for Sierra. As soon as school started, she was sucked into the rhythm of hanging out with Colton, studying for her classes, and hanging out with Colton some more. It might seem like a lot, but I suppose that was what couples do when they’re in love. No matter how much time they spend together, it was never enough. Several weeks had passed since the start of the semester and Sierra was enjoying herself. For the first time in her life, things were aligned. She felt like a real girl doing real things. She felt like she belonged there, working hard to achieve her dreams and doing life with the person she loves by her side. Having lived the life she led, Sierra had tasted many luxuries in life but nothing compares to the feeling of loving someone who loves you back. Especially if that person was Colton. The most wonderful, daring, adventurous man who can make her fee

~ SIERRA's POV ~Colton’s deep blue eyes pierced straight into her soul. She felt loved and understood. And more than that, she felt wanted. Sierra bit her lip and tried to hold his gaze, but it was getting hard. She was swallowing hard and squirming in her seat. That piercing look in his eye could get a girl’s panties wet in zero point two seconds. That thing should come with a warning!As if he knew what she was thinking, he let out a low chuckle and leaned his body forward to her. She sat still and motionless as his lips grazed her cheek, then her jaw, and now her ear.“What are you doing to me, princess?” he whispered seductively. His hot breaths were fanning her cheeks. “I just can’t get enough of you,” Colton led her down gently as she lay on her back and he climbed over her. With his lower body pressed against her stomach, she could feel the hard bulge on his pants, causing her to gulp and squirm. Holy moly, me oh my!Colton planted soft, wet kisses from her jaw down to her n
