Just as he’s descending into my robe, leaving scoring kisses in his wake, he abruptly stops and straightens, dropping his hands from my body. The intense change gives me whiplash for a moment. That was the hottest kiss of my life. Didn’t he feel the same?

“There’s something I have to tell you.”

“Okay,” I reply warily as he looks at me with worry.

“You might send me packin’.”

“I might not,” I say shyly, nervous about what this could be, but still confident in the trust I placed in Harris.

“It was me who watched you tonight.”

“What?”

“I sent the grapes.”

The admission should cause shyness or embarrassment or anger that he didn’t turn and leave. He watched me be incredibly exposed. I take a moment to let it sink in, and I realize how glad I am it was really him. The entire time, I imagined it was, but I thought it was really a stranger.

My hands fly up to my hot cheeks, but I’m more filled with excitement than embarrassment. I just don’t know what to say.

“I’m not sorry, either. You were so damn beautiful. Too far away, but hell, did you glow like a goddess.”

My smile comes easily. His protective streak shines even when he thinks he’s upset me. His worry is more evident the longer I pause. It’s unintentional, and I make up for it by taking his big hand with my small one.

“I’m glad it was you,” I whisper then bite my lip.

As soon as the words leave my mouth, he scoops me off my feet and takes me back to my bed. We lay down and get comfortable, but with all the drama from today, the mood slows. Seeming to know what I need, as always, Harris kisses me slowly and holds me close, assuring me he’s staying.

“Sometimes the people we love don’t love us back or don’t know how to show us, but with all my heart, I promise to adore you, worship you” he speaks softly and places a kiss on my nose. “more with each and every day for the rest of our lives.”

It’s so much more than I ever could have hoped for.

CHAPTERNINE

Harris

The sun tries its best to peer through the blinds of the hotel, but we’re not opening them today. I’ve shared Ivy with the world all year. Today, she’s all mine, and I’m showering her with my love and affection to assure her of what her happily ever after will look like with me.

Before I met her, I was playing through life like Peter Pan, with no intention of ever growing up. Until the moment she needed me. It was the best decision of my life, and I can look back now and know I’m a better man for her.

A sweet moan leaves her sleepy lips, her eyes flutter open, and she smiles bright. My cock lies heavy as steal between us, and as she stretches awake, her hip brushes against my length, and I groan in restrained need.

She quickly turns to face me, and I hold myself in my clenched grip.

“Good morning.”

“Good morning, love.”

“I’m going to go brush my teeth be right back.” I watch her cute ass bounce out of bed in a tiny pair of shorts that ride up over those plump delicious cheeks.

I squeeze my eyes shut and take a few deep breaths.

When she’s done, I’m finally calm enough to use the bathroom and wash my hands and face, as well as brushing my teeth.

When I head back to bed, she snuggles right up to me. Her tiny body is like lava, and my cock immediately registers the leg she slings over my lap. I’m hard again, and my girl squirms with need.

As soon as I turn to Ivy, her mouth is there. Our lips seal in a hot kiss of need. My tongue dives, ready to claim every part of her.

I move down, kissing her jaw, her neck. I lick and suck behind her ear. Each time, her back arches just a little more off the mattress. Her dark eyes roll back as I pull up her T-shirt just enough to take her peaked pink nipple.
