I want to tell her that I’m falling in love with her, but words are a big deal with this woman, a big deal between us, and I don’t want to freak her out. She said not to bring emotion into this. She specifically said she did not want to use words like love and forever. So…I won’t. Right now.

“Same,” she says, smiling brightly.

I tuck myself back into my pants and take in the picture she presents. She looks perfect perched there, wearing those boots, covered in my cum on top of a polished wood desk covered in plans I’ve drawn up to make her dream a reality. But fuck I love that her cheeks are glowing, and her eyes are bright and that she’s got whisker burns from me adding to that picture of happiness and contentment.

I pick her up in my arms and head for the bathroom. I clean us both up, then carry her into the bedroom. I set her on the bed.

“I’m staying in here, with you, right?”

“Yes.”

“And we could do…some more.”

I lift a brow. Already? I love that she wants more.

And I fucking hate that I don’t have any condoms. I could get some from Jonah. Or send someone out for some. Or run out myself.

Or I could rein all of this in, take a deep breath, and just get them when we go out for dinner.

I step close enough that our knees bump.

She looks up at me.

I reach out and brush a strand of hair back from her eyes. “There is going to be time for more. So much more. I promise you.”

She runs her hand up the outside of my thigh, and I quickly move to stop it, smiling and shaking my head.

“Don’t be naughty.”

“You make me want to be,” she says.

This woman does things to me. “You know,” I tell her, walking back into the living room for my shirt. “I think this is your punishment.”

Her eyebrows lift. “Punishment?”

“For the times I wanted more, but you walked away.” Yeah, that sounds good. God, I want to give her so fucking much more right now. She looks soft and happy and open.

A smile teases her lips. “That really bothered you.”

“It really did,” I agree.

“Okay,” she agrees. “But, after this we’re even.”

God, I really do like her.

“We’ll get married tomorrow. At the courthouse. Before we fly to Cara,” I say, to test her reaction.

She nods. “Okay.”

That’s it. No surprise, no argument, no negotiation.

“Okay. I’ll get it set up.”

She gives me a little smirk. “You can do that? Just set it up? Last minute?”

I turn to face her fully, buttoning my last button. “I can.”

She looks pleased by that. And maybe a little turned on. My girl likes that I have the influence to get things done. That will be very good for us going forward.
