No, even as wild and hot as it gets between us, it was never really fucking.She’d just been too afraid to call the act what it really was.Making love.
She loved him.
She’d nearly lost him.She’d always remember those final moments with Jase.The feel of the gun in her hand.The sweat on her palm.The terror in her heart.A moment so very like another from her past.
The past had been choking her even as she squeezed the trigger.Fighting a nightmare and fighting to save the man she loved, both at the same time.
The past is over.The nightmare has ended.
The future was what waited.
Her future with Oliver.But first… “You surprised me with the ring.”Her back was to him, so she turned slowly to face Oliver as he sat on the couch.
She found his eyes on her.Need stamped into the lines of his face.Lust blazed in his stare.
“I had no idea you were planning to move so fast,” she added.
“I’d call it slow.Very, very slow.Because I wanted to propose the day I bought the ring.”
“And that was when, exactly?”
“Two days after I met you.”
Her heart warmed.“But you had a case to close.”
A killer to catch.
“I couldn’t propose when I was keeping secrets from you.”He rose.“When I was pretending to be someone I wasn’t.”
Ah, not back to that, was he?When he closed the distance between them, she put her hand on his chest.“Tell me that you’re not going to try and convince me that you’re still a monster on the inside.”
“For you, I’d be a monster in a heartbeat.I’d do anything to keep you safe.”
“I’d do the same for you.”Didn’t he get that?Hadn’t he seen that?
“I know.”He tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear.
A little shiver skated over her.“I have a surprise, too.”One she’d planned especially for him.“I think you’re going to like it.”
“Sweetheart, I love everything about you.”
She rose onto her toes.Her mouth went to his ear.She gave a little lick along the lobe and whispered, “Guess what I’m not wearing?”
He stiffened.“Tell me it’s—”
She caught his hand.Pulled it down her body.Pushed it between her legs.“Why don’t you tell me?”Breathy.
His fingers had caught the bottom of her dress.He shoved it up and out of the way, and then he was touching—her.Her bare sex.Stroking his fingers between her folds, getting her wet and hot, rubbing her clit, and making her moan.
“Baby, what are you trying to do to me?”Oliver rumbled in his deep, dark, and ever-so-sexy voice.
The same thing she’d tried to do so long ago in this room.“Seduce you.”
“You do that by breathing.”He bent to kiss her neck.And he pushed two fingers inside of her.
Her hands clamped around his shoulders for balance.“My…ah…yes, just like that…my wicked plan was to seduce you—” Lark broke off and trembled because his thumb had just raked so deliciously over her clit.“And make you mine forever.”
“I already am.Only yours.”His teeth scored her in a sensual bite and his wicked, wicked fingers played as they sent her hurtling toward an orgasm.Just touching.Just stroking.Just— “And I want what’s mine.”He withdrew his hand.Pulled back.
