My brows shoot up. “And how did I do that?”

“Because nothing is more important than me coming home to you and I won’t let anything get in the way of that.”

“Dalton,” I breathe, my heart hammering in my chest and tears stinging my eyes.

I love this beautiful man.

The thought takes me by surprise and all I can do is stare at him as those words roll around in my mind. My God, they’re true.

I love him.

“Move in with me,” he says, breaking through my revelation.

“Huh?”

“Move in with me. Officially.”

I shake my head, arching a brow. “Was that a question?”

“No,” he answers, his gaze holding steady on mine. “That was me saying I want you here. With me. In our home, for good.”

I stare at him, my mind blank.

Except for one word.

Yes.

Chapter Thirty-Three

Lennon

Bright morning sunlight streams in through the windows, cutting across my eyes. With a groan, I throw my arm over them, trying to block it out.

It’s too damn early for this.

Warm breath fans out across my neck just before lips press against my skin. A shiver races through me and I let out a hum.

Dalton.

His warm, spicy scent envelops me as his hand drifts across my belly to my side and pulls me closer to him.

“Move in with me,” he whispers, trailing a line of kisses down my neck to my shoulder. I move my arm away from my eyes and peek over at him, squinting against the harsh light.

“I told you I need to think about it.”

He nods. “You have.”

“Dalton,” I sigh, grabbing my phone off the nightstand and checking the time. It’s only been ten hours since you asked me and I was asleep for eight of them.”

“Exactly. So, what is your answer?”

I huff out a laugh, turning back to him. His blue eyes find mine, impatient.

“I don’t have one yet.”

“What do I need to do,” he says, a dangerous look on his face as he rolls on top of me and props himself up on his arms. We’re both still naked from last night and he grabs one of my legs, pulling it over his hip as he grinds into me. “To convince you to say yes?”

“Give me time,” I whisper, closing my eyes as I relish the feeling of him on top of me.
