stomach. Lana jumped out of the line of fire and Chris quickly opened fire and shot a ring of bullets into McKinney. Isaac dropped to the floor and began to bleed out from the gut shot as McKinney sat dead on the couch. Chris took a deep breath and holstered his gun as he walked over to Lana. “Baby, it’s over. It’s all over .” He rasped. She held him tight and didn’t let go. They stayed that way until the police force from the neighboring town got there.
Chapter 10 Three Weeks Later
Chris laughed and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. It was a nice vacation so far, and he knew it would only get better. He pressed his lips against hers and felt her warm tongue slip seductively into his mouth. Gosh, she was just so sweet it drove him crazy. He pulled away before getting too horny and smiled at her. He’d fuck her later, they’d waited long enough. He knew for a fact that she was the one. They’d gone to Hawaii to stay for the week, and in the past three weeks Chris had been promoted to Sheriff. In fact, he was looking at a large workload by the time he got back. He would have to hire two new people and take on all the new duties as Sheriff. But what he hadn’t told his superiors was a rather important factor – he was considering moving out of the town. There were just too many bad memories there, and he wanted Lana and him to have a fresh start in a new place; a place that had more fun things to do than take a cruise up into the mountains on a Sunday morning or go to the deli and order a milk shake. Lana kissed his cheek as they strolled along the beach. It was early in the day and they were heading to get an early brunch. She wanted lobster and Chris knew of just the place, he’d done his research and found a highly reviewed place that was just down the beach from their resort. The sky was blue without a cloud in sight, and the waves washed peacefully over their bare feet as they laughed and held one another. On the beachy porch of the restaurant they sat next to the Tiki bar at an old rustic table. They were the only ones there, and a jovial Hawaiian man served them their food and made them laugh. They were having a hell of a good time, and Chris realized that it was actually the most fun he’d ever had in his life. He hadn’t said it yet, but he knew it was time… It was time to tell her that he loved her. He couldn’t wait any longer, just like he couldn’t wait any longer to feel himself inside of her – to mark her as his property. She flipped her hair back behind her neck and looked up at him with a lopsided, sneaky smile. She was so cute it drove him crazy, “What are you lookin’ at?” She asked playfully as she sipped her mimosa. Chris cocked his head to the side and grinned, “I dunno. Nothin’ special… Just the best lookin’ girl I’ve ever laid eyes on.” “You’re full of beans.” She rolled her eyes and flicked a piece of lettuce at him. “I like when you’re mean like that,” He teased, “Makes me want to take you home and fuck you.” Lana’s eyes lit up as she took in his dirty words. Was it an offer? She’d waited for three weeks, patiently. It was a decision on both their parts. They didn’t want to fuck too soon… So they decided that foreplay would have to do until the time was right. But now she realized that Chris must be certain about her, and it made her feel all funny and warm inside. Butterflies filled her stomach as she realized that he finally was certain of her being his mate . “I… I think I just lost my appetite. I feel so nervous now.” She laughed. “I’m serious, babe. I don’t think I can wait any longer to get in your pants.” Chris eyeballed her and flashed his handsome grin. By the time they got back to the hotel Chris had torn off her dress before he even kicked the door shut. He flung her onto the bed and she lay there on her back as she watched him breathlessly. He pulled his tank top over his head
