“Okay, I wouldn’t act on it. But I will, hell, I am acting on it Joss. You’re mine and I’m yours, and that’s just the way it is.”
Damn, that’s hot. “And I have nothing to say about it?”
He nodded and took a step closer, cupping my face and running his thumbs along my jawline. “If you say you don’t love me anymore, that you can’t love me, then yeah.”
“So if I say that I love you, that’s it?”
“That’s it,” he confirmed with a cocky grin. “I’ll spend some time courting you like a proper gentleman and then you’ll say yes when I ask you to move in with me, or when I ask to move in with you.”
“Wow, big plans.” I couldn’t stop smiling as hope and love took flight in my heart.
“Really big. After a few months of living in sin, we’ll pretend to succumb to Mom’s pressure and I’ll ask you to be my wife.”
I smiled so wide my cheeks ached and I didn’t care. “And I’ll say yes.”
“What else could you say to the man you love?” His lips brushed against mine so gently I gasped in anticipation of his next one. “You’ll say yes.”
“And then,” I asked against his lips, my breath and his mingling together until they became one.
“And then we’ll live happily ever after.” Then his lips were on mine, devouring me as he poured his love into every swipe of his lips, every stroke of his tongue. It was the perfect kiss, the exact way a woman should be kissed after finding out her love wasn’t in vain.
I pulled back with a breathless smile. “I love you Ben Rutherford.”
“Finally,” he roared and kissed me again, harder, but just as slow until my whole body was on fire. “I love you too, Joss Callahan.”
It felt good to hear but it felt better to know that it was true, that I could feel the love down to my bones. And I knew my heart had made the right choice because Ben wanted to prove to me that his love was true. That it could be trusted.
I was ready for what came next, whatever it was.
The End.
