She pressed her forehead into the door, arched her body even more to take me deeper. I rolled my hips, sliding into her over and over until she came for me.
But I was greedy.
I knew it was only matter of time before someone came looking. But I didn’t care. I wanted her to remember my body imprinted on hers. I wanted her to think of me hot and rough against her every time she glanced across the backyard and our eyes met.
Pushing her to a second orgasm, I gritted my teeth, feeling her clench around my arousal again. It drove me crazy and I sucked on her neck, trying to hold off on coming.
But Hawk’s body had always been my undoing.
I couldn’t resist, no matter how much I tried.
I silenced my growl of happiness by burying my face in her Chantilly scented hair. Trembling, I had to brace my palms to the door on either side of her head to keep from falling. How was it I still craved her so desperately?”
“Marry me.”
“What?” Hawk panted. “You can’t mean—Angel.”
She pulled off me and turned in my arms. I caressed the back of her neck and took her lips under mine. I kissed her to show her I was never letting go.
I kissed her to tell her all the words I wanted to scream to her, hoping she and everyone else would hear it. “I know I don’t have a ring.” I tried to catch my breath.
“Screw the ring.”
“You don’t want a ring?”
“Of course, I want a ring.” She patted my chest. “Every girl dreams of a ring. But this wasn’t how I thought I’d get asked to be your wife. I mean, you’re not even on a knee.”
I smiled and slid down her body. When I looked up into her eyes, she had tears toppling down her cheeks.
“Sasha Bracken, I love you with all my heart. And I can’t imagine a better life than here with you and our son. Will you marry me?”
She nodded.
One of her teardrops fell to my nose.
“I love you too.” Her voice cracked. “Mrs. Sasha James. Oh, hell yes!”
Leaning forward, I rolled her dress up and kiss one of her thighs then the next. And to seal our deal, I eased her thighs apart and kissed her in a place no other man would. I tasted her, reminding myself she was mine and that my heart would beat for only her.
I rolled my tongue in and out of her most intimate place, listening to her soft sighs of passion and her whispers of her love for me.
This time when she came for me, Hawk didn’t cover her mouth. Though the chatter and music outside drowned out her shouts of joy, I could hear her.
And that was all that mattered.
The END
