Eternal Soulmate by Brooklyn Taylor Page B

I was waiting beside it looking out the window. I was acting like a nut case, shuffling around like I was about to perform in front of a million people. Max warned me as he usually does that someone was here. I opened the door and threw my arms around Cooper secretly wanting to wrap my legs around him. I knocked the breath out of him hugging him so hard.
    Way to play hard to get Ash.
    He is wearing a pair of blue jeans, Levis, I think, but who the hell cares. He looks jaw dropping. The front cups his man parts perfectly and he has an ass I can’t wait to grab. He has on a black button up shirt and gray ball cap. He smells so good. I don’t know what came over me, but, I kiss him. You could see the shock on his face and I could feel his hesitation. He lets me kiss the worry out of him. Finally he moved his tongue in my mouth and boy what a kiss. It almost brought me to my knees, but luckily, he was holding me up. I had this sudden urge that I wanted this man- and NOW!  I’ve been with two other men in my life and neither were anything to scream about. In the other serious relationships I have had, I went through the motions just doing what I thought the next step was.  It was not something I craved like I crave Coop. Everything about this man drove me crazy. Was it because I was being the aggressive one and he wasn’t? I backed him up against the wall in my living room and kissed him more. I rubbed just slightly up against him. Holy shit, he is definitely responding. YES!!
    He reached up taking my face in his hands.  “You look stunning, as always baby. Look Ashlynn, I did not come here for this. I want you to know I will wait for this at long as it takes. This relationship we have started to build in the short time we have known each other has meant more to me than any relationship I have ever had with any woman.  I don’t want anything to screw it up. Please know I want you, but this can’t happen tonight. I need to prove to you I am worthy of you and that I’m a gentleman.”
    Well Shit...He keeps saying the right things. “Well Coop, if you say so. You’re probably right anyway. Let’s just stay here for dinner. I can make some chili and cornbread. We can eat and then sit on the porch. I have an amazing view of the sunset unless, you made plans in town for us.”
    “You don’t have to ask me twice. I’d love to stay here rather than going out. There is no place I would rather be than here with you Ashlynn.” He looked around and smiled. “I love your home. It is exactly what I thought you would have, very warm and welcoming - like you are.”
    I brought Cooper a glass of sweet tea and he stands beside me in the kitchen watching me get the chili and cornbread started.  He laughs at Max trying anything to get his attention. Max is really looking him up and down like he is checking him out. I think it’s cute. Cooper does too, whether he wants to admit it or not.
    When I’m done preparing everything we, go sit on the porch swing. He pulled me in for a kiss when I sat next to him and it takes every inch of energy I can muster to pull away. He is so gentle, but so masculine at the same time. He runs his hand up and down my leg slowly just showing affection. He seems so at home and relaxed. His hand goes up pretty high on my thigh and instead of backing up, I lean in to him.  I really can’t explain these feelings of want that I feel for this man. He looks in my eyes and kisses me again and continues to run his index finger right under my dress. It almost gets to my panty line and then he stops. I lean in to him and just spread my legs slightly giving him the okay. He barely runs his finger on the outside of me and I think I am going to come just from his light touch. Still looking in my eyes he kisses me again as he pulls his hand back.
    “Why can’t I control myself around you? I’ve never wanted a woman as much as I want you Ashlynn? I lose all sense of thought. It’s like some higher power is
