His hat tumbled off, and she sank her fingers into his thick hair. “I wish it had been you on that tape,” she said in a hoarse tone.
“Christ, honey.” He plunged his tongue into her mouth again and again and again until she was dizzy and her panties were soaking wet.
Finally, he tore from the kiss, breaths rough. His erection bulged against her hip where she was nestled in his lap.
“It never would’ve been me on the video.”
She wiggled against him. “Because you’re too big.”
“That…and I wouldnever, everdisrespect you like that.”
ChapterSix
It was done. He’d popped the question. They were engaged. She wore his grandmother’s ring.
Now everything in him wanted to lay claim to Avalynn’s body.
He’d tried to slow things down by putting her in the car and ordering the driver to take them to the hotel. He even attempted to leave her at the door and walk away.
But she bunched her hand in the front of his shirt and looked up at him with those wide, beautiful eyes filled with desire and he lost his goddamn mind. His good intentions went up in a blaze as he closed the door and locked it.
Her hair was disheveled from his fingers and the desert wind, the mass of waves so mussed that he could only imagine how it would look after she crawled out of his bed.
His cock surged against his fly. The entire ride, she’d tormented the hell out of him by tossing him loaded looks. And touching the ring he’d placed on her finger with so much ease that it felt real as hell.
When he asked her to be his wife, he fucking meant every word.
And that scared the living hell out of him.
Jennings was right. So was Clay. They all had seen what he ignored all this time—that in six months he’d done more than guard Avalynn with his body. He’d guarded her heart, but forgotten his.
Darting her tongue over her plump bottom lip, she took a step closer to him.
He settled his hands on her hips, thinking to hold her at bay. But then she rocked her body against his and ripped away the last of his control.
He swept her up into his arms. She nuzzled his jaw, her lips brushing downward to his neck.
He groaned and took one step toward that big bed that would soon be the first place he ever took her.
“I want this, Julius.” Her voice came out as a shiver.
God, she felt so damn good in his arms. So right.
He had to shake that thought loose of his head before it grew roots and he stopped seeing any other path in his life but one with Avalynn.
But breaking up was in the plan.
“You’re certain?” he rasped.
Her sweet lips moved over his throat and up to his jaw. At the corner of his mouth, she whispered, “Yes.”
His cock was bursting. His heart even more swollen. Making it to the bed took mere steps.
Laying her down with all the tenderness that a treasure like her deserved, he braced his arms on the mattress and gazed deep into her eyes.
“We don’t need to do this to make the act look convincing.”
“It’s not that.”
