“I love you. If I do this, if I give you my soul, because that’s what I’ll do if I make love to you, you’ll break me when you walkaway.”
I sobbed again. I let the tears roll down my cheeks and saw the same on his. I placed my hands either side of hisface.
“Oh, Mackenzie. Can’t you see how much I fucking love you? Do you think I’d have done any of this if Ihadn’t?”
His smile was slow to form and then he shook his head andchuckled.
“You loveme?”
“Yes!”
“Then why the fuck didn’t you saythat?”
“Because you kept telling me you didn’t want arelationship.”
“I’ve never said that, did I? It’s about children, Lauren. At what point will you start wanting children and then hate me because I can’t give you that onething?”
“Mackenzie, I want you. Just you. I don’t know what will happen with regards to children. Right now, I want us to just be us. You can’t have children. I’m going into this with my eyes wide open and with that knowledge. It doesn’t make me love you any less. And I could never hateyou.”
He shook his head again. “I…”
“You said you’d do anything I asked, right?” He nodded his head. “Then do one thing for me, trustme.”
I silenced his response with akiss.

Mackenzie didn’t makelove to me once, or twice, in fact I think I lost count. He was tender and gentle. He took his time to pleasure every single part of my body. He kissed me, slow and fierce. He gave himself to me, and I did the same: mind, body, andsoul.
I watched him sleep. I wanted to laugh; we weren’t supposed to sleep, not for twenty-four hours anyway. I was half tempted to wake him. I’d cried when we’d made love and he’d held me. He’d told me he loved me over and over, and I’d done the same. In the short time I’d known him, I was stunned at the depth of feeling I had forhim.
“If you think you’re going to abuse my body again, Miss Perry, you have another think coming,” he whispered. He slowly opened hiseyes.
“Are you turning me down, Mr.Miller?”
“Never, but I’m not making love to you again here. Up and dressed, we’re goinghome.”
“That’s ashame.”
“Here is for fucking, and I intend to do that to you, a lot. We’ll be back, often. Home, with you, is where I want to be rightnow.”
“So we don’t fuck at home?” Iteased.
“We make love and we fuck, and I spank you, and I will claim your ass. You may have finished your list, Lauren, but Ihaven’t.”
“Can you build one of thoseplayrooms?”
“I can do whatever the fuck youwant.”
He rolled from the bed, and despite my protest, pulled the duvet from my body. I laughed as he struggled into the same clothes he’d worn the previous night. It appeared we had no time to wait for his laundry. I quickly dressed and shoved all our things in the two overnight bags. With one last check around the rooms, weleft.
It was way too early for anyone to be up except security. Mackenzie requested his car be brought around, and we waited on the steps of the manor house watching the sunrise.
I winced at the sound of the engine as the valet drove to the steps, sure it would have woken people. Mackenzie tipped him as he threw our bags in the boot, and then we roared off down the drive, kicking up gravel as wedid.
We arrived back to his house in recordtime.
