I grin.“Crazy about you.”

“Oh my god,” she groans.

“I want to be with you.Only ever you.I know it seems fast, but I can feel in my fucking bones that it’s right.This thing between us, this love, it’s so rare.And it’s real.You know it is.”

She stares up at me.

I kiss her forehead, breathing in her sweet scent.“Please, tell me you want all of that too.”

“Of course I do,” she whispers.

I swear to God my heart swells close to bursting in my chest.“Then marry me.”

“Crazy,” she whispers.

“I’m not.I can do a psych evaluation to prove it if you want me to.”

“So, we’re just going to get married?What about your parents?”

“What about them?”

“They won’t be happy,” she warns.

I shrug.“I don’t care about that.I care about your happiness and mine.”

“Where will we live?”

“Here or at my place.Or we can buy a different house if you want.”

“I—”

“We’ll figure it out, Alexi.Together.”

“Together,” she says quietly.She takes a deep breath.“I like the sound of that.”

“Good.”I pull her flush against me.

“And I love you too.”

“Great.”

She laughs.

I lean in, kissing her hard.She opens for me instantly, as greedy for my taste as I am for hers.The tip of her tongue flicks against mine, and my hold on her tightens.

I can feel her stiff nipples through our clothes, and my cock reacts, hardening between us.Alexi squirms against my length, and I bite back a curse.I lick into her mouth, coaxing her tongue to tangle with mine.

“Fuck, I’ve missed kissing you,” I growl against her mouth.

She snorts.“You kissed me this morning.It’s only been nine hours.”

“I know.Too long.”

She laughs softly.

I kiss her again.“Everything is going to be perfect.Just you wait and see,” I promise against her lips.

She smiles.“I think it already is.”
