Chapter 311

“You okay staying in here with me?” Dalton asked as he and Mandy made it to his dorm.

When she was safely inside, he turned the lock on the door, leaving the two of them alone, with no one from the outside world able to get in. More than anything, he wanted this time alone with her. He’d fucking missed her, and he needed to feel her wrapped in his arms as soon as possible. Tension he’d had for weeks was slowly starting to melt away.

“Regardless of what’s happened with us,” she snaked her arms around his neck, “there’s no other place I feel safer than with you.”

He swallowed hard, letting those words sink in. Slowly he circled his own arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. Almost bashful, he turned his head to the side and slowly moved in for a kiss.
