“He was not chill at first.
But I won him over. Both of them.”
“What did you tell them?”
The humor faded from his eyes. “The truth: that loving their girl is an honor for me. I wanted them to be convinced that I was going to make their daughter happy. That I’d only acted out of a deep fear that maybe I wasn’t able to make her as happy as she deserved, but that I was a complete fool not to trust that she could handle absolutely anything. And I was an even bigger fool for ever thinking I could let her walk out of my life. I can’t. I won’t.”
The deep emotion in his voice wrapped around my heart.
“Will—” I said the word softly. Maybe too low for him to hear, because he continued right away.
“And one more thing. I spoke to my superiors, and I will be moving to another unit, one that involves no risk.”
“William Connor, you’ll do no such thing.”
“Listen to me, it’s what I want. For me, for us. The hours will also be more reasonable, and I’ll be able to involve myself in the foundation too.”
“Will... are you sure this is what you want?”
“Yes. One hundred percent. I mean it.” He smiled. “You know, it was easier winning over your family than mine,” he said with a half smile.
“Don’t tell me they sided with me.”
“Every single one of them. Traitors.”
“Even Jace?”
“Especially Jace. Cornered me right after you left. My sisters gave me an earful... my brain is still ringing. Not even my bandaged arm softened them. They were ruthless.”
“Maybe they thought you deserved it.” I was feeling very smug, but I was also very grateful to the Connors.
“They sure did. I can’t promise not to upset you again—”
“By all means, upset away. Your way of winning me back is quite charming. But since I have a heart, I’m going to tell you that you don’t have to keep doing it. I’m yours. It’s hard to stay mad at someone who puts my happiness above his.”
Will hooked his good arm around my waist before I even finished my sentence. I laced my hands around his neck the next moment, pulling him to me. Our lips met fiercely, our tongues tangling with mad lust and deep love. Our chests were crushed against each other’s, and still, I wanted to be closer to him. He skimmed his lips over to my ear.
“I love you, Paige.”
I laughed, though it sounded a little like a sob because my emotions were running high.
“I love you too.”
I was shaking, and he was shaking, and when he looked at me, his gaze was smoldering, which meant my clothes were seconds away from being yanked away. My lady parts tingled in anticipation. Did I want to distract him? Or not?
“What’s in the picnic basket?” I whispered.
“All your favorites. But right now, I need you, Paige.” He feathered his mouth on the side of my neck. “I want you naked.”
“I’d call you out on it if you didn’t.”
Will lowered his hands down my back, cupping my ass and pulling my hips against him. He was rock-hard.
“Do you feel that? It’s all for you.” His voice was gruff, and I rocked against him gently. “Let’s go inside, or we’re getting that citation for indecent exposure.”
“Here I am, seducing you, and you’re still thinking about a citation? I ought to become a better temptress.”
We’d barely reached the bedroom when Will started undressing me, but he took his time, as if he was on a mission to rediscover every inch of my body. He stood behind me, kissing the back of my neck, circling his fingers on the peaks of my breasts. We were both naked, and his erection pressed along my left ass cheek, spurring my need for him. I was hungry for him. When it came to Will, I was insatiable.
