“You’re so feisty.” His eyes roam over my body, and he looks like he's enjoying himself.

“What’s going on? Why are you acting weird?”

“You look damn sexy when you’re pissed.”

“What’s gotten into you?” I’m confused. He’s blowing cold one moment and hot the next.

“Ryland, please talk to me. You're scaring me.”

He looks at me, his eyes dark with emotion. “I ran into your brother downstairs.”

A lump forms in my throat. “Zane's here? He knows about us?”

Ryland’s jaw clenches. “He saw us together.”

Now I understand why Ryland took so long and is acting weird. That must have been tough.

“And? What did he say?” I shake my head in disbelief. “I’ll call Zane and explain everything.”

“You don’t need to do anything.”

“That isn’t fair. I’ll go talk to him. Where is he? God, does he think you're taking advantage of me?”

“Bean. Everything’s fine. I explained everything, and Zane understands. I told him you’d call later.”

His eyes roam my face, and my heart settles. Everything is going to be okay. I can’t believe it. Dreams really do come true.

Ryland stares at me, desire burning in his eyes. Then he does what he does best. He takes what he wants, and he wants me.

His mouth on me feels so good. I never want him to stop. I adore being the object of his desire.

“I love a good argument,” he murmurs against my neck. “It bodes well for our marriage.”

I pull away, shocked. “Marriage? What are you talking about?”

The smile drops from his face and is replaced by a look of pure carnal hunger. He's the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

“I love you, Bean. You are mine,” he growls. “And we are definitely getting married.”

“I love you too.” My heart swells to say the words I’ve carried in my heart forever.

He stares at me like I'm the center of his world. “Marry me,” he says against my lips before taking my mouth in a searing kiss.

“Okay.” I nod in agreement because, well, why wouldn't I? Marrying Ryland is my dream come true.

“Good. That was easy.” He sounds relieved.

“Why wouldn’t it be? I don't need to question everything. I trust you.”

“You can trust me. I'll do everything I can to protect you and never give you a reason to doubt my love for you.”

We kiss as though we are starving. I melt into him, and we can’t get enough. We kiss until my lips tingle. As do other parts of me.

He doesn’t waste any time stripping my clothes off, then his, and burying his face between my thighs. I swear he can’t get enough.

It’s the first day of a brand new life with my one true love by my side, and I couldn’t be happier.

Foolishly, I let myself lose hope, thinking we could never be together. But I was wrong. When you meet the One, you know it. Never give up.
