Facing Off with Alexi (Witch Field Prowlers Book 2) Read online

  “I love you, Tianna,” he murmured.

  “I love you too, Alexi, my new boyfriend.” She grinned. A small thrill went through her when she dubbed him that moniker.

  “Mmm, so that’s what I am now?” He reached up and brushed some hair out of her face. “I like it. It makes me so happy to know that you’re mine in all things.”

  She shook her head. “Whoa there, partner. We’re not married, just dating.”

  He snorted. “You’ll give in to me on that soon enough, but for now we’ll date.”

  She sighed. “You have this all planned out, don’t you?”

  “Yup, and you’ll eventually see that I’m right.” He grinned up at her.

  “We’ll date and see how it goes. Don’t get ahead of yourself, buster.” Despite her words, a little flutter went off in her stomach at his intention. He truly was serious about them being together. The voice of doubt remained silent, but she could feel the skepticism.

  “But we’ll date first, let you get used to the idea of being with me before I put a ring on you. Now, let’s get some sleep. We have quite a drive and have to stop off at Mama L’s for breakfast and then Gus’s for driving grub.” He rolled her over and slipped out of her.

  She missed the warmth of his body but didn’t protest. While he cleaned up, she turned over what had happened and his words. Despite some of her reservations, she wanted things to work. At least they were taking it slow, and that was all she could ask. She watched him stride to the bed, a grin on his face. Pure happiness radiated from his features. Her heart swelled with emotions. She loved him with every ounce of her heart and being.

  “We’re in this together, Tianna. Never forget that.”

  She nodded. “Yeah, together.”

  “And if you get scared, I’m here for you. I’m committed to you.” He bent down and took a soft kiss. “You’re all I want, honey; just remember that when you start to doubt things.”

  She swallowed. “Okay. I love you, Alexi.” She had to say it again, to have him hear it.

  “And I love you too, Tianna.”

  She climbed off the bed, went to the bathroom, cleaned up, and joined him under the covers. As she closed her eyes, she snuggled against him. He wrapped an arm around her waist and held her close.

  “We can do this,” she whispered to herself.
