“Move baby…you have got to move soon or I’m going to take over.”

I snapped my head back up and looked at Gunner. How did I move? Of fuck……

“Up and down baby….just move however it feels good for you, it all feels good for me no matter what you’re doing.”

Okay…...I can do this. I started to move up and down and oh.my.god…...if I thought it felt good just sitting there this was……amazing! I needed more though. I started to move faster and I heard Gunner moan…..oh holy hell the sound of him moaning was even more of a turn on. I went faster even though my ribs where killing me.

“Oh God Ellie, I’m not going to be able to last much longer sweetheart.”

I looked down into his eyes. I wanted to watch him come apart because of me. I didn’t even care anymore if I came or not. I wanted to make him feel good. I moved faster and harder. Ohhhh that feels so good.

“FUCK ELLIE!”

YES! I was doing it, he was so close and I started to feel that familiar build up. Oh god yes…...oh shit…..this was going to be big.

I swear I felt him getting harder inside and oh my god he was rubbing on a certain spot that felt……OH HOLY SHIT……Gunner started moaning more.

“Don’t close your eyes Gunner….”

“Ellie baby I’m about to….”

It felt like a bomb exploded in my body and I started to cry out Gunner’s name and a few other things….. I really have no idea what I was even saying. The look on his face was so amazing. He was saying my name and I was calling out his as our gaze never left each other’s eyes. It was one of the most amazing moments of my life. I thought the first time could never be topped but this…...this I had no words for.

I slowly felt my body coming down from the overwhelming pulses as I closed my eyes for a second. When I opened them again our blue eyes captured each other. I felt like he was looking into my soul and I into his. I loved him so much.

“I love you Ellie…..I love you so much sweetheart.”

I collapsed onto his chest and was trying desperately to catch my breath. I couldn’t get the energy to even tell him I loved him.

“Gun…...ner…...I lov…...love you…...too!”

He started to laugh and slowly rolled me over being careful of my ribs and my arm.

I laid there on my back with my eyes closed. I felt like I was about to fall asleep again. After another minute or two and my breathing was back under control.

I opened my eyes to see him smiling down at me. “Marry me….”

He started laughing. “I thought I already asked that and you agreed!”

I laughed back at him. I never wanted to leave this cabin…...ever.

“I mean marry me today or tomorrow I just want to marry you right now!”

Gunner started to push my hair back with his fingers. Hmmmm it felt so good. I loved it when he touched me.

“Ellie, I would run off and marry you right now if I thought that was what you really wanted. But sweetheart I want to have a real wedding. I want to see you in a beautiful wedding dress, with Gramps and Grams there watching us, Jeff as my best man and Ari as your bridesbitch.”

I busted out laughing.

“GUNNER! Ari is not a bitch! She‘s just….outspoken! And she would be the maid of honor!”

Gunner leaned down and rubbed his nose against mine. Then he kissed me, so softly at first but it quickly turned to something more powerful.

He pulled away after a few minutes and left me breathless.

“Ellie I would really love to get married here at the ranch if that’s okay with you.”

I smiled because I wanted the same thing. Ever since our first night looking up at the stars I had been having the same dream over and over again. We were in that same pasture, Gunner and I were under the big oak and I kept turning around and seeing all these people looking at us. Every time I woke up from that dream I could never figure out what it meant. Now I knew.

“Nothing would make me happier Gunner. Except, I want to get married under our Oak tree. I’ve been having a dream, the same one over and over, with you and me standing under that tree. I never understood why I had that dream so much but now I know why. We were meant to be married there!”

“When sweetheart?” Gunner said up against my ear. Oh god….was it possible for me to want him again, so soon? He started to move his hand down my body until he found his way to the ache that already needed relief from him.

“Umm, oh god……Drew…...”

He rolled on top of me and made love to me again but this time it was so slow and sweet. Was it going to keep getting better each time?

“I love you Drew…...”

“I love you more……”

CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT

G unner……

I woke Ellie up with a tray full of her favorite breakfast. Pancakes, eggs, bacon and orange juice. I thought for sure she would have woken up with all the noise I was making trying to cook it all in that tiny kitchen. Watching her sitting there eating I couldn’t pull my eyes from her. I kept seeing that ring on her finger and I had to fight back the tears every time. She was going to be mine soon.

Ellie insisted on cleaning up all the flower petals even though I told her I paid Aaron and Jenny generously to take care of all of it. We made love two more times that morning and I was not even sure how I was able to get my dick to work so much the last twelve hours but I wasn’t going to complain about it.

After we had things cleaned up to Ellie’s satisfaction we made our way out to the Jeep. Ellie was practically skipping the whole way. The sight of her so happy made my chest swell. I wanted her to feel loved and wanted every damn minute of every day. Just then Aaron and Jenny drove up, right on time. Ellie started to jump up and down when Jenny walked up to her. Jenny grabbed Ellie’s hand and looked at the ring as they both let out a small scream. Then she leaned in asked Ellie something. Ellie turned bright red and looked over at me. She turned back and said something to Jenny that caused a huge smile to spread across Jenny’s face.

Aaron walked up and handed me a huge ass box. I sat down on the porch steps and called Ellie over.

“I have one more Christmas present for you sweetheart.” Ellie turned and looked at the box I was holding. She came and sat down next to me and smiled.

“What is it?!” She asked filled with excitement.

“Well, the only way you are going to find out baby is if you take the lid off!”

Ellie reached over and took the lid off and a 7 week old chocolate lab popped his head up. Little guy looked liked he had been sleeping.

“Ohhh! Oh my god! Is he MINE?!”

I started to laugh. Damn she was so fucking cute.

“Yes, baby he’s yours.”

Ellie reached in and lifted him out of the box and started to hug him. Aaron and Jenny looked on as Ellie smelled every inch of him and said how wonderful he smelled. Her smell senses and mine were clearly different.

She looked at the ribbon that was tied around his neck. The note I wrote was tied onto it. She took the note off and put the puppy down. Little guy went right over and peed in the grass.

“Oh sure now the little fucker goes to the bathroom in the grass!” Aaron said.

Ellie started to read the note out loud.

“Dear mommy, I’m here to help daddy watch over you and protect you and love you like there is no tomorrow. Love, Gus.”

Ellie turned her head to look at me. Those blue eyes were filling with tears as she leaned over and kissed me. She pulled away from my lips just a little and smiled.

“Thank you…..I love him and I love that you remember every single thing I say to you Drew Mathews. I love you so much!”

“I love you too Ellie, more than you will ever know.”

It was 11:00 in the morning by the time we got back up to the ranch house. Ellie looked nervous as she was holding Gus in her arms while the little bastard slept in total peace. Lucky ass dog.
