Their kiss was tender and filled with emotion. “Look at what we have together,” she whispered when they parted.
His eyes twinkled as he stared into hers. “Look at all we’ve accomplished. What we’ve already done.”
She knew he was talking about more than their good times. And it was the worst ones in their pasts that had brought them even closer together.
“Together we’re completely unstoppable.” She looked around at the people who had become her family, then back into the eyes of the man she loved—and knew, without a doubt, it was true.
Chapter Eighteen
Church hadn’t planned for how hearing one little word would make his whole body react.
Yes.
Zee stood in front of him, completely bare, close enough that he could feel the warmth of her against his own flesh. Her gaze was fixed on him, steady and knowing in a way that tugged a cord in his chest.
It wasn’t just need zapping between them. Emotion thickened his throat as he reached for her. He swished his thumb over her knuckles, and her breath hitched like he’d touched more than her hand.
“I love you, Zee.” His jaw clenched.
Her eyes softened with deeper emotion moving through them. She rested her other hand on his chest, right over his heart. “I love you too.”
That was the line he’d never come back from and would never get enough of hearing.
He slid his thumb to the ring on her slender finger, and she moved hers to cup his jaw.
When they stepped closer, they didn’t rush it. Their kiss was slow and sweet at first, then turned slow and hot. Her lips parted beneath his, and he touched her body, strumming her taut nipples until she gasped into his mouth.
They took two steps to the bed and tumbled onto the mattress together, his stiff cock riding along her slick folds. It gave a hard pulse of need to enter her and make her scream, buthe reined in his urges and took his time showing her just how much he loved her.
She gripped his shoulders, pulling him closer, their bodies fitting together perfectly. As he trailed his fingers down her stomach and between her thighs, she arched into him. He stroked her wet folds over and over again, sliding one finger inside her tight sheath, then two, flexing them in slow glides.
“Grant!”
He withdrew his fingers and shot her a crooked grin as he moved down her body to bury his tongue in her sweet pussy. She dug her fingers into his hair, guiding him where she needed him most.
He sucked on her stiff nubbin and alternated with slick flicks of his tongue that made her hips rock to his rhythm. Her thighs tensed, and he felt the moment when she tipped over the edge.
Dark need pounded through him, and he barely held back from claiming her as he worked her into a higher pitch and then slowly brought her back down to earth.
Safe in his arms. He kissed her gently at first, but she would have none of that and swept her tongue inside his mouth. With a guttural groan, he could take it no more and rolled onto his back, settling her on top of him.
Her hair was mussed, her eyes glittering. She rose upward on her knees and poised over the tip of his aching cock.
“I want this…you…every day.”
“Twice a day if you want.” He flashed her a grin that she wiped off his face when she slid down his cock to the root.
They shared a groan. His hands convulsed on her hips, and she anchored her palms on his chest as she began to drive them both toward an end filled with burning lust and passion braided together with love.
They lay in each other’s arms for long minutes afterward, kissing now and then. She rested her forehead against his and stared into his eyes.
“When do you want to get married?” she asked.
He smiled. “I’m ready right now. I’ll get my suit.” He pushed onto one elbow, and she shoved him back down, laughing.
She threw one thigh over his body, pinning him in place. As if he wanted to ever leave. “So you don’t have a preference for season?”
He brushed a strand of hair off her cheek. “Any season with you is the perfect time.”
