As she lay in his arms, bubbles of joy fizzed through her, and she realized for the first time in her life she was truly happy. Her happiness took her by surprise; it was light as a feather, bright as a beam of sunlight. It was a foreign feeling to her, and this rough biker had made it happen. She looked up at him and kissed his Adam’s apple. He lowered his head and pulled her up to him, kissing her gently. “I love you. You’re the only woman who has conquered my heart, soul, and body.”
She clutched his waist. “And I love you. I’ve never trusted a man enough to let love into my life until you. I felt a pull toward you from the first time I saw you.”
“I felt the same pull even though I fought it, but all along you’ve been the woman who was destined for me.”
They held each other in a comfortable silence as the lingering light was obliterated by the rapidly falling night. A tangy, earthy scent filled the room from their arousal, and they lay sated, their legs tangled together as she watched the shimmering stars emerge from the passing clouds. Aside from the occasional hoot of a hidden owl, a loud grumble was the only sound to permeate the silence.
A low chuckle made his skin vibrate against her cheek. “Are you hungry?”
She pushed against her stomach, trying to stop the noises. “I thought we could order a pizza and watch a movie. Does that sound good?”
He twirled her tendrils around his finger. “Whatever you want. I’m happy eating you.”
She giggled. “Should I order it now?”
He rolled her on top of him. “We’ll order it in an hour.”
She bent her head down and they kissed hungrily as a cool breeze sifted in through the window.
