He pulled her chair away from the table, scooped her up in his arms, and left Mia and his team in their wake as he made his way to the elevator, and much to the delight of several other hotel guests, refused to relinquish her as he stepped into the elevator car and asked one of the other guests to push the button for their floor.
There had been a time when she would have been embarrassed, but Claire now knew there was no need for those feelings. The only person whose opinion really mattered to her was the man who carried her so effortlessly out of the elevator, down the hall, and into their room.
“Have I mentioned how very much I love you?” he asked, setting her on her feet.
Claire wrapped her arms around him and pressed her body into his. “Not in the past ten minutes or so. Slacker.”
He chuckled. “I’ll try to do better.”
“It’s really all over?”
“For the most part. You might have to testify, but from what Maggie was saying with the way Sir Godfrey and Evangeline were throwing each other under the bus, it may be that the affidavits are all they’ll need. Let’s get you undressed, and I’ll run us a nice hot bath.”
Grabbing the front of his shirt, she dragged him to the bed. “How about we skip the mushy romantic stuff and just get down to seeing how much pleasure we can give each other?”
They managed to get each other naked as they backed up to the bed. When their clothes had been discarded, Fletch caught her up in his arms, took the two steps necessary to be at the bed, and tossed her onto it. She positioned herself so she could be comfortable and then spread her legs in wanton invitation.
Fletch moved to the end of the bed and then crawled up, ensuring he had a place for himself between her thighs. “God, you’re beautiful.”
His mouth came down on her rounded belly and she moaned as he kissed her there, swirling his tongue around her navel, before working his way down to her clit and labia and ensuring he gave them enough attention that she was gasping for air. She was wetter than she’d ever been in her life and watching him as he nuzzled her, breathing in her arousal, was almost more than she could take.
He settled between her thighs, lifting each of her legs so that each of them was resting on his back on either side of his head. He parted her labia and began feasting on her honey like a man long starved. He speared her over and over with his tongue, allowing her arousal to coat it.
She arched her back and stiffened, crying out his name as she climaxed. He didn’t let up as the orgasm shook her body before releasing all of the tension. Claire locked eyes with him as he allowed her legs to drop back down on the bed and crawled up her body. Fletch stretched out on top of her, settling himself at her core and bringing her legs back up to wrap around him.
Sliding his massive dick back and forth over her clit and getting it wet, he grinned down at her as he reached under her, holding her ass so that he could keep her where he wanted her. He thrust into her, not just joining their bodies, but their lives. This wasn’t just fucking; this was something far deeper and more intimate—almost sacred.
She watched the lines of his face harden as he suppressed his own need to fuck her with a feral intensity she had come to enjoy. Drawing back, he kissed her again, and then again as he pressed back into her. He continued to kiss her as they fell into their familiar rhythm. As he continued to stroke in and out, his cock began to twitch and swell deep inside her. Feeling the telltale signs of his impending release, Claire allowed herself the luxury of reveling in their lovemaking, crying out a second time as he pounded into her and a mutual orgasm crashed down over them both, spiraling nothing but a peace and pleasure that encompassed them both
Fletch collapsed on top of her, pinning her beneath him as he surrounded her with his warmth. Finally, as his cock began to lose some of its rigidity, he rolled to one side, keeping his arms around her and dragging her close. Tipping her face to his, he kissed her slowly and tenderly.
“Thank you,” he murmured against her lips.
“For what?’ she asked drowsily.
“For trusting me; for choosing me. I swear I’ll never give you cause to regret either of those decisions. We’re together now—you and me against the world.”
“Absolutely. We rise or fall together, and we face our enemies as one.”
“What’s the line fromMy Fair Lady? Oh yeah, ‘by Jove I think you’ve got it.’”

Capri, Italy
Six Months Later
Claire sipped her cappuccino on the balcony of their extravagantly expensive hotel. Her feet were propped up on the railing and she held her hand out, admiring her gorgeous engagement ring. They’d stayed close to London until the trial was well underway and it was determined that her testimony wouldn’t be needed.
She leaned back and sighed, looking at the cliffside village that spread down from her promontory perch to the sea below. It was everything an Italian seaside village should be. The sky was a radiant blue that was reflected back from the Bay of Naples. She looked across the water, giving a little wave to the penthouse that she and Mia had decided to sell. Well, it was really more that Carter and Fletch had wanted them to divest of all the so called safehouses they’d established.
Claire shook her head. It was hard to believe it was all over. Her future with Fletch seemed to stretch out endlessly like the beautiful village below. Maybe they’d buy a vacation home here. She and Fletch had discussed what she might do with herself in the future. She could continue to expand her art restoration business, but the more intriguing thought was to expand Silver Arrow Security to make use not only of Claire’s expertise in art and art restoration, but also of her and Mia’s unique take on security and alarm systems.
Fletch had told her not to rush into anything and that she had time to figure it out or do nothing at all. He had dangled the idea of really ramping up her equestrian activities to make a bid to ride for either the U.S. or U.K. Olympic Teams. It had always seemed like a pipe dream, but now, she wasn’t so sure.
She heard the door open behind her. Without looking back, she said, “If you’re an assassin come to murder me, bugger off. I have way too much happiness on my radar for the future. If you’re hotel room service, please set it up out here. But if you’re my hunky fiancé with the enormous dick, come out here and ravish me again.”
“Ravishing will have to wait until I’ve fed you. Can’t have you passing out on me, now, can I?”
