THIRTY
AMELIA
The summer air was warm, and the gentle breeze moved Amelia’s hair around her face. She pulled it back and tucked it behind her ears, turning her face toward the sun.
“It’s so nice to be up here,” she said. “Away from the city. From everything.”
“I figured you needed some time alone after everything that’s happened.” Wilder kissed her shoulder.
“You know me so well. This is exactly what I wanted. To be here with you.”
“Not a bad surprise, is it?”
“I prepared my own surprise for you. I’ve ordered a nice veal Parmesan meal for us.”
“You remembered it’s my favorite,” he whispered, touched.
“Of course, I did. I can’t let you be the only one who gives away nice surprises.”
“I can teach you to cook if you like.”
“You’ve already taught me to drive,” she laughed. “And you set me free,” she added before placing her arms around his neck, hugging him close.
“You set yourself free, Amelia. You dyed your hair, you squirreled away money, and you escaped. You did it. I just came along at the end with some help.”
“I couldn’t have done it without you.”
“That’s not true, love. I believe… No. Iknowyou can do anything you set your mind to.”
“Like that library job you got me in the city?” she sighed happily. “I still can’t believe you pulled that off.”
“All I did was get you an introduction. You were the one who rocked the interview. You’re an impressive woman, Amelia. Any person who doesn’t realize it is a fool.”
“I’m so happy, Wilder. You’ve really made me the happiest woman in the world. I can’t believe what my life is now.”’
“Well, love, believe it. I want to give your life a happy ending.”
“So long as I’m with you, I’ll be happy.”
He tilted her head up to kiss her. “I love you, Amelia.”
“I love you, too, Wilder,” she whispered between kisses. “Let’s go inside,” she giggled. “There’s something important we need to do.”
His gold eyes sparked with interest. He knew exactly what she meant. They had, after all, flown to their favorite spot, the castle in the French Alps, to solidify their union.
Wilder was going to mate her.
Amelia’s belly flipped with excitement as they ran toward their bedroom. The staff, thankfully, knew to make themselves scarce. Good thing too. Wilder started to strip before they reached the bedroom. His shirt was on the staircase, his socks in the hallway, and by the time he kicked the bedroom door behind him, he was in nothing but his boxers.
His erection stretched out the thin material of the undergarment. Amelia cupped her hand against it, and Wilder hissed out a breath. “Oh, Amelia,” he groaned when she dipped her hand into the waistband. She grazed the sensitive skin, savoring the impact she had on the man.
“How are you still fully clothed?” he asked.
She giggled. “You were too busy getting naked.”
“What a stupid man I am. This is what I want.” Wilder eased the straps of her dress down her shoulders, each inch of her neck receiving a soft kiss. Amelia shivered with delight as his attention drew lower. He slid her dress to the floor and made quick work of her bra. He nuzzled one breast before twirling his tongue around the nipple.
Together, they tumbled into the bed, holding on to each other. They were a tangle of limbs as each kiss brought them closer. Wilder’s erection pressed into her side, but he wasn’t relenting. He wouldn’t give her exactly what she wanted yet.
