I brushed a strand of hair out of her face. “If you’ll have me, that is. I want to be in the same state. California. Maryland. Wherever you are.”
“You’d move to California?” Surprise was evident in her tone.
I moved closer, placing a hand on her hip. “If that’s what you want. Nothing matters more than being with you.”
Her gaze lifted to meet mine. “I thought you and your brothers wanted to live on the farm and be near your mom.”
“I do want that, but if your dream is to live here, then that’s what I want, too,” I said, gripping her hip tighter.
Her brow furrowed, and I wanted to smooth out the wrinkles. “But your job, your future business… Everything is in Maryland.”
“None of it means anything without you,” I said firmly.
She closed her eyes. “I don’t know what to say.”
I squeezed her hip. “Say you love me. That you want forever with me, too.”
She opened her eyes. “I do want that. But I want you to be happy, too.”
I smiled softly. “I am happy. Haven’t you been listening?”
A smile slowly spread over her face. “Oh, I’ve been listening.”
“I love you, Marley Matthews, and I’ll follow you anywhere.”
She laughed softly as she moved to snuggle into my chest. “I love you, too.”
“Now that we’ve established that…” I lifted her chin and kissed her softly. “I want to show you how much you mean to me.”
“You already have,” she said as her breath hitched.
“I’m just getting started.” I lifted the hem of her tank top, feeling the soft skin of her stomach. Then I moved to place a kiss above her belly button. One day, her belly would be round with our child. I couldn’t wait for everything that was meant for us to come our way.
She rolled onto her back, and I moved between her legs.
I pushed the shirt above her lace-clad breasts, palming them and running my finger over her taut nipple.
The waves crashing in the background were a fitting metaphor for our relationship. Smooth, then rocky. I knew our future would be more of the same, but I wasn’t going anywhere. I’d be her rock, steady and dependable.
I murmured I love yous as she unhooked her bra and lifted her shirt over her head. Then she shimmied out of her shorts.
I hooked my fingers in the lace band and pulled them over her hips and off her bare legs. “Gorgeous,” I said as I stood to quickly remove my clothes, then settled between her legs, breathing her in.
“I’ll never get enough of you.” I kissed one thigh, then the other.
She licked her lips as she sat up to watch me. “Me either.”
I parted her folds and licked her, watching her eyes flutter closed and her head drop back.
“Look at me,” I said, and she lifted her head to meet my gaze. “You’re so beautiful.”
Something sparked in her eyes. I wanted to show her every day just how special and wanted she was. She deserved my care and attention, everything I had to give.
“I’m so grateful for you.”
She bit her lip as one hand tangled in my hair. “Me, too.”
Then her mouth went slack as I used two fingers to enter her, licking and kissing, nipping and biting, driving her wild. When she went over the peak, she trembled around me and dropped onto the bed. I moved up her body, desperate to be inside her.
