Ah, she’s going to tease me.

Bring it on, my little introvert. I love the idea that she’s feeling sassy and sexy and wants to try to tempt me. “Sleeping naked is really comfortable,” I call back agreeably.

“And I like to cuddle.”

I almost snort. She sleeps alone. She likes to do most things alone. She is not a cuddler. I already know this about her without anyone needing to tell me.

“Can’t wait. I love how you feel and smell,” I tell her. I rinse my mouth and lay my toothbrush next to hers. The sight of the green and blue plastic handles next to each other on the counter seems right. As silly as that sounds.

I step into the room, switching off the bathroom light. The only light in the room now is the lamp on the table on my side of the bed.

Seeing Abigail in my bed, her gorgeous hair spread out on my pillow, the sheet pulled up under her arms, knowing she’s naked underneath has me battling my conviction that I need to wait.

You didn’t get a condom, so you’re out of luck, buddy, I remind myself.

There’s plenty of other stuff you could do to her, I also remind myself.

I round to the other side of the bed, pulling the covers back.

“I can’t believe we’re not going to have sex,” she pouts.

I fight my grin. Making her want it is a good move. I intend to fulfill every need, want, or wish this woman will ever have.

Once she’s officially mine.

And on my terms.

She’s calling the shots on all of the stipulations surrounding our marriage, so I’ll call the shots in the bedroom.

Before I slip between the sheets, I open the bedside table and withdraw the item inside that I want to give her.

Turning on my side to face her, I reach out and tuck her hair behind her ear, needing to touch her somehow. “I’m so glad you’re greedy for more, Abigail,” I tell her gruffly. “But I realized that when I finally sink into your tight, hot pussy, and call you my good, sweet, dirty, fucking princess, I want you to actually be my princess.”

I see her suck in a sharp breath and her gorgeous blue eyes widen.

I grin. “Yeah. That will be hotter when it’s really true, right?”

She swallows hard. “That will be…yes.”

I have to be sure she’s going to walk down that aisle. Or into the judge’s chambers as the case may be.

Jonah’s concerns have only served to heighten the unease that’s been nagging me since Abigail insisted we not talk about any feelings and put an end date on us.

She’s not in love with me.

But she is in love with these farms.

And maybe she’s in love with the things I can do to her body. That’s not bad for a guy’s ego.

Surely all of that will get her to ‘I do’.

But I’ll do whatever I can to ensure it.

She’s studying me with a look I can’t quite decipher. I just let her. I could simply look at her for hours.

“I can’t believe that you shared my farm plans with Lauren and Mason,” she finally says.

“I can’t believe that you’ve never shared the plans with them,” I say. I can’t tell if she’s happy or not.
