Letting Go (Mitchell Family #1)(69)
Author: Jennifer Foor

I was amazed when Colt followed behind me. When he turned on the water for me and stood in the bathroom while I stripped out of my clothes, I was shocked.

“Are you going to be alright?” He asked.

The water was running down my head. I closed my eyes and just tried to get myself to calm down. I must have been running on pure adrenaline. “I don’t know.”

The hot water felt good and I started scrubbing the dried blood from my fingers and arms. I looked through the glass and saw Colt just leaning against the sink. He wasn’t saying anything, but he wasn’t leaving.

When I finished washing myself, I turned off the water. Colt approached me with a clean towel and wrapped it around my body. He stood behind me and kept his arms around the towel. The stubbles on his face slid across the back of my neck giving me chills all the way down my legs. “I am so sorry you had to do that today Darlin’. I wish I could have been there to help out.”

I smiled. “It was actually amazing. Unbelievable, but really cool.”

“How was Ty? Did he pass out?” He laughed.

“No, he was a big help. I was shocked he wanted to go with Miranda.”

“Yeah, that was nice of him.”

“Are you feeling better?” I asked as I reached up and touched his cheek.

He moved his cheek closer to my hand and closed his eyes. “I had a few drinks earlier. I even talked to my mother about some things.”

“Do you want to tell me about it?”

“Will you come into the bedroom with me real quick? I want to show you somethin’.” He asked.

I looked at him. He smelled like alcohol, but this was the most relaxed I had seen him in days. He took my hand and led me into the bedroom. Spread all across the blanket were items and a decorated box.

“What is all this?” I asked.

He reached over and pat a spot next to him on the bed. Once I sat down he handed me a small card. “Read this.” He said.

I opened that card and couldn’t believe what I was reading. My eyes filled with tears as I continued to read the kind words of Colt’s father. When I finished, I reached over and grabbed his hand without responding. When I got the courage to look into his eyes they were full of tears.

“I must have read this a hundred times tonight.” He said as he touched the card. “I thought he didn’t know how much I appreciate him. I thought I would never have the chance to tell him he was my hero. He already knew though. He knew all along. All of the times I thought he didn’t care about me. I was so wrong.”

I squeezed Colt’s hand. I was considering what I should say. The last time I tried to be positive Colt had gotten his feelings hurt. Before I could respond he stood up and kneeled between my legs.

“Savanna, I never listened to my father much. In fact, I made it a point to always do the opposite from what he told me.” He reached up and stroked my cheek. “It’s time I started listening. You see, my father told me to find a woman and love her like she was the only woman on the planet. He said to treat her right and never take her for granted. Well Darlin’, I already found that girl and I will be damned if I am goin’ to let her go.”

His words went straight to my broken heart. Through the rough whiskers and tired eyes was my Colt. I never got to meet his father, but I think I would be thanking him every day for writing that letter.

“I love you Colt.”

Colt grabbed the towel and slowly pulled it away from my body. “I need to be close to you Savanna. Let me make love to you?”

I didn’t have to answer as I sat there naked on his bed. His hands ran up my legs before he stood up and cleared the memorabilia from his bedspread. I backed myself on it as Colt stood there and removed his shirt. His shirt dropped on the floor and he kicked them away from his feet. His boxers came down next and I bit down on my lip just thinking about his perfect body on top of me.

He took his time climbing back on the bed and sliding beside me. I yearned for his sweet lips to touch mine. I felt like it had been forever since I felt them. I knew it had only been a day, but all of the emotions of the past few days were just too much stress.

Colt took his finger and ran it over my lips while he licked his. I let the tip of my tongue touch his course finger. He took the wet saliva and slid it over my lips again. His head came down and kissed me under my chin. His rough whiskers tickled and sent chills down my body again.

I watched as Colt took his tongue and circled it around my br**sts before taking my nipple into his mouth. He used his other hand to massage the other one while he teased my nipple with his wandering tongue. I shuddered at the feeling it gave me to have his mouth touching such a sensitive spot on my body. His soft lips trailed down between my br**sts until they reached my stomach. He drug his tongue over my belly button and continued kissing down until he reached the tender spot between my legs. I gasped as his tongue entered me and continued sliding inside of me. When it came up and flicked my swollen sex, my feet buckled, I grabbed his hair and cried out. “Oh yes!”

Colt placed gentle kisses up my thigh before placing his lips over my mouth. I could taste myself as he kissed me. I drug my tongue over his bottom lips and groaned as the taste of myself set me on fire. I took my teeth and drug them over Colt’s chin. I bit down on his ear lobe and pulled it as I moved down to run my tongue over his neck. I could hear him moaning and it was turning me on more. He flipped my body over top of him. I straddled him and took in the sight of his perfect chest. He reached up to move my hair away from my face and I couldn’t help but traced the mustang tattoo on the inside of his arm.

His strong hands pulled my face down to his. I teased him by draggin my tongue across his open lips. He tried to pull me closer but I teased him again. When our lips finally met, our kisses intensified quickly. My hands reached around his waist and squeezed his butt. I could feel his erection pressing against my sex and I wanted to feel him inside of me. I could feel his hand reaching down to position himself where he needed to be, but instead of entering me, he kept it there, teasing me as I panted for more of him.

“Tell me Savanna. Tell me what you want.”

I could barely breathe. “I want you.”

“What do you want me to do?”

“I want you forever. Please Colt.”

“Say it again.”

I tried to thrust myself against him, but he liked the game of it and pulled back. “I want you forever. Please make love to me.”

Slowly, I felt him sliding inside of me. He groaned against my neck. He slowed his pace down as he continued to mingle our tongues together. I ran my hands up and down his chest and pinched his tiny ni**les. He squinted his eyes. My hands traveled to his back and I held him tight, making him lean his body into mine.
