The lady nodded, taking a step away. “All right, I think I have everything I need. You’re free to go.”

She smiled at the policewoman before she looked back at Deimos. She shuffled to him, feeling the weight of everything on her.

“I think it’s time we get home,” he said, holding a hand out to her. She smiled; that was the best idea she’d heard all night. She nodded in agreement. She wanted to go back to the ranch and just be with him.

She didn’t know how they got home. She fell asleep on the way. She dreamed of being on earth and spending time with her family. She remembered being surrounded by her pets and telling everyone she was happy.

“Hope,” Deimos spoke up, forcing her awake. She blinked, seeing she was at the ranch.

He gave her a smile. “You slept all the way here.”

She grabbed his hand and stepped out of the vehicle. She looked around the ranch, and her eyes landed on the cattle. She smiled. “Now that Tura is down, the cows should make a full recovery.”

He smiled at her. “Yes, and it’s thanks to you.”

She shook her head at him. “I didn’t do anything.”

“You did.” Deimos gripped her hands tighter. “Hope, without you, tonight wouldn’t have happened. Saving my cows and taking Tura down wouldn’t have happened. You made this possible.”

She swallowed as he stepped closer. He lifted a hand and cupped her face. He looked deep into her eyes as he spoke. “You have changed my life. You’ve made it so much better.”

His words sank in, and she smiled. He leaned forward and kissed her softly. The kiss was sweet, but it grew. It filled with hunger and desire to come together. They had confessed their love for each other. That was huge.

He hoisted her up, her legs going around his waist, and turned them toward the house. She smiled, realizing she liked to be carried. She loved it, actually.

He unlocked the door, and they stepped inside the dark house. He kicked the door shut, and they were in nothing but darkness. She heard their breaths each time their lips met. They shuffled down the hallway, the wood creaking under their weight.

She pulled his shirt off, and he threw hers aside in the hallway. They fell into the wall, and she laughed. He chuckled against her neck, running his teeth along her skin.

Her body came alive everywhere he touched. She leaned into each brush of contact he gave her, and she craved more. She wanted him to touch every part of her body.

He pressed her against the wall, biting her lower lip. She grabbed at his pants, running her fingers along the waistband of his jeans.

“I want them off,” she said breathily.

“And I want you naked,” he said, undoing her zipper. “I want to taste all over you.”

She wanted that. His mouth traveled down her neck as he unclamped her bra and threw it aside. She should have felt cold, but she didn’t.

She leaned back as his mouth formed around her nipples. She moaned, feeling his fingers sliding down her stomach.

She looked at him, watching his lips travel past her belly button. She watched the way the moon shone a shadow over his face. She thought his skin looked almost like stone. He was perfect.

He yanked her pants off, tearing her underwear as he did. He hooked his hands behind her knees and pulled her up, pinning her against the wall. His mouth clamped down on her clit.

She cried out from the friction, feeling that tight coil forming while his tongue traveled over her. She slammed her head back into the wall, grabbing at his shoulders.

He devoured her, sending her to new heights. She couldn’t catch her breath, and she came hard, crying out his name.

She panted as he looked up at her, his eyes filled with need. He smirked, and she pulled a hand down, wiping off his mouth. She ran her thumb over his bottom lip, and he licked her finger.

“Make me yours,” she said, wanting that more than anything in the world. She could so easily have lost him tonight, and she never had him to begin with.

She never wanted anyone to say she wasn’t his because he hadn’t marked her. She wanted him to mark her. She wanted it more than anything.

He pulled her up and carried her down the hallway and into the bedroom. They tumbled onto the bed, and she heard him pulling at his jeans.

Anticipation built as she watched him. She took in his abs and the way his stomach dipped. She looked at the way his biceps bulged when he moved, all of his muscles from hard work.
