Harper is shaking in my arms. “You won’t regret it, sweetheart.”
I reach in my pocket and pull out a black velvet box. I drop to one knee.
“Are you serious right now?”
“Harper Price…”
“In the middle of Target, in the baby aisle…”
“I snore, a little,” her lopsided smile is killing me, “I leave hair around the sink. I am impatient, I am needy, I am loyal. My mother told me I’d know the moment I found the one. Then I found you.” I glance away for the briefest second, I can’t stomach the tears in her eyes. “And I know this may be selfish, but I want you forever. Will you marry me?”
I peel open the box. Last night after hours of tossing around, rock hard, wanting Harper, I went to my safe. I dug around and pulled out my mother’s ring.
“Liam…” She gasps with tears running down her cheeks.
“It’s not big, I can get you another one.” I swallow. “It was my mother’s.”
“I love it.” She cups my face, scratching at my beard. “Are you sure, Liam?”
“I’m sure, Harper. But if you take this ring, we are in it together. It’s not about anyone but us.”
“What do you expect from me as your wife?”
“That you know it’s about you and me. I expect honesty, fidelity, friendship, companionship, and that one day you’ll come to love me.” Like I love you. “I’m gruff, but I want a traditional old fashion marriage, minus the quick engagement and vows.” I smile. “What about you, what do you expect from me as your husband?”
“The same, but we have to tell my parents when I’m ready. I need time for this all to sink in.”
I nod. We’ll work out the details. I want to shout for joy but not until we make it official. I pull the ring out slipping the box back in my pocket. “So, Harper, will you do me the honor of being my wife?”
“Yes, Liam, I will.”
Chapter 9
Harper
“I want you.” I inhale deep, the essence of this man crawls inside me. I drove like an insane woman back to the office. The reality of this moment settling in and I surrender to it. I reach for his waistband, kicking the door closed. I pull him to me as my back hits the wall.
“Yes, ma’am.”
His nose flairs and his mouth covers mine. His tongue is in my mouth, and I suck it knowing I’m asking for another mistake because Liam is passion and heat and lust and I want everything he has to offer. I’ve lived a million mistakes. What’s one more?
“Please, Liam, take me now.”
“Baby I apologize our first time shouldn’t be in my office,” he says between rushed kisses. My neck. My shoulder. Then his hands grip my hips, yanking at the fabric of my dress. I feel the cool air brush my skin as his hands grip my bare ass. He pulls back, lust staring at me. “You don’t have on any panties.”
I shake my head. For all my proper ways, I prefer no panties, and today I’m glad for it.
“I’m about to show what happens when you bless with me such an amazing gift.” Liam snakes down my body, the bottom of my dress is around my waist, he’s gripping my ass, and he lifts me to his shoulders without effort. I gasp. I’m no lightweight, and he’s kissing the inside of my thighs.
“Liam.”
“Shhh…I’m trying to focus.” His tongue slips past my folds and dives into my heat. Gasp. I whimper from the sweet ecstasy and the precision of his quest. I hold my breath trying to climb up the wall as his tongue assaults me. He holds me tighter, and I grab handfuls of his hair holding on for dear life.
He manages to whisper, “I can’t hear you.”
“Liam…I can’t.” I’m panting. Completion is near, and I can’t focus with him talking.
“You can and you will.” He sucks on my clit. I groan as a heated tickle blazes from my head to my toes. “What did I tell you about expectations?”
