Both our mouths parted, breathless, riding the high, and waiting to fall over the edge.
Together.
He plunged his tongue into my mouth when he felt my pussy throb against his cock, pulsating long and tight. Muffling my screams.
I was his undoing.
Another groan escaped from deep within his chest as he came so hard and deep inside of me. He released his come as deep into my pussy as he possibly could.
Both of us tried to catch our breaths.
Our thoughts.
Our emotions.
Until he growled, “I love you, Evie.”
Making me feel…
Whole again.
Chapter 26
Caleb
Evie woke up in my arms.
“Morning, gorgeous.”
She shyly smiled, peeking up at me through her long lashes.
“How long have you been watching me sleep?”
“Who said I slept?” I grinned. “I spent most of the night inside of you.”
We stayed the night on the boat, not wanting to go back to the yacht just yet.
“What time is it?” she asked, stretching like a feline cat.
“Almost ten.”
“What time are we leaving today?”
“This afternoon.”
“Should we head back? I miss the kids.”
I smiled big and wide. “I love that you miss them. I miss them too.”
“Do you have to go back to work tomorrow?”
I shook my head.
“What?” She narrowed her eyes, trying to hide her excitement. “You’re lying.”
“We’re actually going on another trip.”
She pulled the white sheet up her to cover her breasts as she sat on her knees in front of me.
“Darlin’, you don’t have to cover yourself. I’ve seen them.”
She blushed. “Where are we going?”
“To Kentucky.”
“Wait? What?”
“It’s my grandfather’s ninetieth birthday. I’m taking you home to meet my family, Evie.”
Her eyes widened as she jerked back.
Sweeping her hair away from her face, I caressed her cheek with the back of my hand.
“Are you serious?”
“Mmm hmm.”
“I’m going to meet your parents?”
“We’re staying at my childhood home. My mother wouldn’t have it any other way.”
“Oh my God!” She playfully slapped my chest. “How could you wait this long to tell me? You’ve never talked about your family, and now you want me to meet them? What if they don’t like me?”
“They’re going to love you as much as I do.”
Her expression quickly turned apprehensive.
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know. What are you going to tell them?”
“About what?”
“Caleb…” she coaxed. “You know what I mean! Like, how are you introducing me?”
I arched an eyebrow. “How would you like to be introduced?”
“Umm… I’m not sure. I don’t want to confuse the kids.”
“So we’ll tell them first.”
“Tell them what?”
“That we’re getting married.”
She jumped off the bed, taking the sheet with her. “What?!” she shouted, completely caught off guard.
“You heard me.”
“I heard you, but what the hell? How did we go from hanging out and getting along to walking down the aisle?”
“Darlin’—”
“No!” She put her hand up in the air. “Don’t darlin’ me. You’re not sweet talking your way out of this one, buddy. Besides, when did you propose? Did I black out and miss that?”
I didn’t hesitate in proposing, “Marry me, Evie.”
Her stare widened while her arms flailed around.
“Have you lost your mind?!”
“Actually, for the first time in my life, I’m thinking pretty fucking clearly.”
“Caleb, you’re insane!”
“Insanely in love with you.” I opened the drawer on the nightstand next to me, grabbing the turquoise Tiffany box I’d left in there.
“Caleb…” she warned, her voice laced with unease.
“What?” I played coy, sitting up against the headboard. “It’s your birthday present.”
“My birthday was yesterday.”
“I was busy making love to you all night. Consider it a late gift.”
“Caleb…”
“Don’t you want to open it?”
“No.”
“No?”
“What’s in it?”
“You know what’s in it, Evie.”
Since she wasn’t moving from the spot she seemed cemented to, I opened the box for her. As soon as she saw the five-karat princess cut diamond ring shining bright against the sun, she loudly gasped and her hands shot to her mouth.
Fervently shaking her head, she yelled, “Oh my God! How long have you had—”
“Since you showed up at my doorstep, claiming you were the new nanny.”
“I am the new nanny.”
“Sweetheart, we both know you’re much more than that.”
“We’ve barely been speaking up until yesterday, and every time we did talk, we were arguing.”
“That wasn’t fighting.”
“Oh, really? What would you define it as?”
“Fucking foreplay.”
“I can’t believe you. I don’t even know what to say to you.”
“A yes would be great.”
“Are you asking me because you want your kids to have a mom?”
I expected her to say that, but it didn’t take away the sting I felt deep in my core.
“I want you to be my wife because I love you. We’ve already lost eight years, Evie. I’m done playing games. I want you in our lives forever, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make that happen. It’s really quite simple, darlin’.”
She placed her hand on her chest. “I think I’m having a heart attack.”
I chuckled and climbed out of the bed.
“Caleb, stay right there.”
“Evie…”
“No, I mean it. I can’t think when you’re close to me.”
