"I love you," I whisper, and I can feel the smile spread across his face.
The rest of the day and night are spent entwined with one another. Colton doesn't have to tie me up anymore to get me to do what he wants, and I don't think about running away anymore.
When morning light floods through the cabin, he begins to pack up what little he brought, and I put on the pink dress I walked into the cabin wearing.
As we walk out on the front porch, he takes my hand and kisses my knuckles, and I look up and meet his eyes.
"We should get going," he says, and I nod my head in agreement.
"The kids will be happy to see us after a weekend at your mom and dad's," I say.
"Please, you know they spoiled them the whole time," Colton says on a laugh as we walk out to his cruiser.
"Maybe we can do this next weekend too, only this time it will be your fantasy."
