Falling For Hood | C.H.

Chapter 79 : FallingForYou

| Helen |

"I love you," Calum whispered against my skin.

I froze.

My heart nearly stopped.

But suddenly started pounding as if I had tachycardia.

"What?" I asked my voice shaky.

I wasn't sure I heard him correctly. Did he just say he just say he-

"I love you," He said again.

He pulled away and looked up at me.

I stared into his beautiful eyes.

Although it was dark, I could practically see his dark brown eyes glimmering.

"I love you, Helen Rose Hemmings. So fucking much. I need you in my life. Without you, I'm nothing. I should have told you sooner, but I wanted to wait for a while. Get settled in the relationship, but now I know my feelings for you are stronger than I could have ever imagine. I don't even care if we never have sex, although I would like to, if you don't want to, I won't do it. If getting a tattoo of your name is what will keep you here with me, I'll do it. I'll do anything for you. Anything just to keep you here with me. I love you. Damn, I fucking love you."

Happiness swelled in my chest.

My heart sped up.

I felt my pulse in my neck.

My eyes had tears in them.

I smiled at him, "Calum, I love you too. So damn much. When I met you I was hoping I wouldn't fall for you. But I did, I was falling for you Hood. And I fell for you. I know this is real, I know that we both share the same feeling for each other. I don't want you to be the one that got away." I cupped his face. "I want this to last. I want us to last. I didn't know I'd need you this much, but I do, Calum. I do. I love you."

I crushed my lips to his.

His tongue grazed my bottom lip and I allowed an entrance.

We shared a heated, passionate kiss.

My hands flew to the hem of his shirt and I pulled on it.

I pulled it over his head and threw it on the ground.

I let my hands go down his incredibly toned body.

I bit my lip.

Dammit.

Calum rested his head on the crook of my neck.

I rubbed his back.

He moaned, "That feels good."

"What?"

"I said that feels good," He repeated.

"You're so tense," I said and started massaging his shoulders.

"I know," he groaned.

"Stress?" I asked.

"Maybe," he replied.

I kept massaging his back until he almost dropped me.

"Sorry," He said.

"Getting sleepy?" I asked.

He nodded.

I got off his lap and lay on my bed. I got under the sheets.

"C'mon, babe," I told him and patted the space next to me.

He laid next to me and I pulled the sheets over him.

He had one arms under me and pulled me towards him.

"Don't be so far away," he mumbled.

I turned on my side and wrapped my arm around his bare stomach.

I had my leg on top of him and had my head rested on his bicep.

He kissed my forehead.

"Good night, darling," he whispered.

"Good night, Cal," I whispered back.

And finally with one arm around Calum, I fell into a deep sleep.
