“My thoughts exactly.”
She squirmed around in discomfort so I reached back to grab a pillow. The box containing my necklace was revealed and I instantly sobered.
“Sweetheart?”
“Hmm?”
I placed the pillow behind her back as I asked, “Now that you realize I’m not trying to buy you... are you going to be mad when I want to give you gifts?”
Her eyes opened and she frowned at me for a moment before shrugging.
“I suppose not.”
“Thank fuck,” I said with a chuckle as I reached for the box. “Because this is for you.”
She gasped when I opened the lid to reveal the necklace that had reminded me of her. A large princess-cut emerald was set in the center of a white gold heart encrusted with diamonds. The emerald was what had captured my attention—the green a similar shade to that of her eyes.
The eyes that were watering up as she reached out to touch the necklace. This time, I was fully aware that her tears weren’t from something I had done wrong.
“It’s beautiful.”
“Just like you.”
I took her whispered comment as acceptance of the gift, so I undid the clasp and smiled when she pulled her hair to the side so I could put it on. Seeing her completely naked with only the jewelry I bought for her sent an interested twitch right to my cock.
Jesus. It was like I was a horny teenager again.
“Thank you so much,” she whispered as she toyed with the pendant. “I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to keep up with your gifting skills.”
“I don’t need things—I have things. Seeing you happy is all I want.”
She was straddling my lap before I could say anything else and I held her close as she kissed me.
“I love you,” she murmured against my jaw. “Let me show you how much.”
My question died on my lips when she gripped my cock and slid back onto it.
“I love you, too, angel,” I murmured as I ran my hand up her ribcage and ran my finger gently across the underside of her tits. “Now ride me.”
With a wicked grin, she did. I was happy to discover that my stamina did get better every time we had sex and I happily made her come three more times before I carried her boneless body to bed and promptly passed out.

Elation.
It was really the only word I could think of to describe how I felt on the drive home. Granted, I wasn’t happy to be leaving Juliet’s side, but I still couldn’t keep the stupid grin off my face.
She loved me. I loved her.
The ring I paid more for than most people make in a year suddenly felt like it was burning a metaphorical hole in my pocket. Or my safe since that was where I carefully secured it.
But a declaration of love didn’t mean the time was right to propose. Logically, I knew this. It was way too soon. I’d probably just scare her.
And yet I couldn’t stop myself from mentally planning the proposal. I knew how much she loved the beach and I was certain Layla and Mason wouldn’t mind me using the privacy of their land to set up something elaborate.
I was chuckling at the mere thought of setting up candles all over a windy beach when I pulled the car down my driveway and frowned.
There was a white sedan waiting in my driveway. The windows were too tinted for me to tell if anyone was in the car, but I didn’t recognize it. I pulled up behind it and parked, hopping out and rushing to see who the fuck was at my house.
The door opened as I approached and I froze to the spot when a stiletto heel and a leather clad leg swung out.
Oh no. Fuck no.
