He smiled tenderly. “Then it suits you.”
I shivered. I didn’t think I’d ever get used to him saying things like that. I hoped I never did because I never wanted to take him and what we had together for granted.
“I don’t want a big wedding,” I told him. “Nothing fancy. All I want is to be married to you, and soon.”
He grinned. “How does next month sound?”
“Perfect.” Perhaps it would freak people out. I knew there was a lot to organize. But I also knew that our family would be happy to help. The wedding was only one day. Our marriage would be forever. I glanced around, noting that the clearing around the falls was empty, and we hadn’t passed anyone on the way there either. The summer tourist season was winding down, and autumn would be quieter before things picked up again in time for skiing to begin. “We should celebrate properly,” I suggested saucily.
He raised a brow. “What did you have in mind?”
“You packed a blanket, right?”
He nodded slowly.
“Well, there’s a nice mossy clearing through the trees over there. We should get naked.”
His lips twisted in a smirk. “Are you suggesting we have a quickie in the woods?”
“Maybe.” I winked. “There’s no one else around, and we’d be able to hear somebody approaching.”
He gave me a wry look. “You’re giving us a bit too much credit, I think. When I’m inside you, there’s nothing else I see or hear. But if you’re game for it, I am. And if anyone comes along, you can explain to my mother how you corrupted me.”
I grinned. “Deal.”
We made our way over to the mossy spot I’d singled out, and Liam took a fleece blanket from his backpack and spread it over the ground. Standing over it, I whipped my shirt off and dropped my shorts, leaving me in panties and a sports bra. I reached behind myself to unclip the bra, but Liam batted my hand away and did it himself. When the scrap of fabric fell away, he dipped his head and kissed the raised skin above and to the right of my left breast where the bullet had exited my chest. His body buzzed with energy, and I smoothed a hand down the back of his head.
“I’m still here,” I murmured.
“I know.” He straightened and drew me close, his clothes rasping deliciously against my bare skin. “But I came so close to losing you.”
“Don’t think about it.” I pulled him in for a kiss, parting my lips so he could deepen it. We kissed until I ran out of breath, and I pressed closer, loving the feel of him and the sexy contrast of his fully clothed body and my nearly nude one. If I’d been in L.A., I might have worried about paparazzi catching me during a moment like this, but in Destiny Falls, I no longer had to worry.
We sank to our knees, still kissing, and I grabbed the hem of his shirt. He yanked it off, obliging me. The roughness of his chest hair against my breasts made my toes curl. I worked his shorts open and tugged them over his firm butt, then slipped my hand inside his underwear and palmed him. He was hard and hot. His pupils dilated as he held my gaze while I wrapped my hand around him and teased him with touches that weren’t quite enough.
But then his palm grazed over my belly and he dipped his fingers into my panties, skimming over my clit, returning the favor. He kept the contact light, and every time I leaned into him, he pulled away.
“How do you want to do this?” he asked, casting a nervous glance at my scarred shoulder.
“Sit down,” I said, loving the way he followed the instruction. “Underwear off.”
He peeled them off, and I straddled him, settling above his straining erection. The lighter blue flecks in his irises flared. Placing my hands on his shoulders, I worked my hips, sliding along his length, tempting him to grab me and sink deeper. His head fell back, and he groaned. The low, sexy sound made me even wetter.
“You feel so good,” he panted. “Stop teasing me. Take it all. I know you can.”
I undulated against him like a cat, rubbing my body against his from groin to chest, loving the way desire darkened his eyes and flared his nostrils.
“Fuck, you’re incredible.” He leaned forward and claimed my mouth. Our tongues tangled, and I continued to tweak my hips back and forward, giving both of us a little of what we wanted but not enough of it. “Get on my cock,” Liam growled, his eyes wild, face twisted in a snarl. He’d reached the end of his tether.
I lifted up and positioned the head of his cock beneath me. We’d been going without condoms for a while, since we were both safe and I was on birth control. Although I suspected I might go off it in the future. Slowly, I took him into my body, feeling him stretch me and heat me from the inside out. When I was fully seated, I rocked my hips, whimpering at the sensations that rocketed through me. He was so deep, and in this position, I had wonderful pressure against all the best places.
“Ride me,” he urged, gripping my hips and guiding me into the rhythm he wanted.
I moved above him, falling into a rhythm of give and take. He met me with his thrusts, hitting spots inside me that no other man ever had. My breaths came shorter. He gasped and grunted, the sounds driving me wild. I tossed my head back, staring up at the sky as I was wound tighter and tighter. Liam slid a hand between us and pressed my clit. The world fractured, and I shuddered as my release tore through me, relentless in its intensity. Beneath me, Liam stiffened and jerked, finding bliss as I clenched around him.
I fell against his chest, breathing heavily. His hand smoothed down my back and over the curve of my ass. We lay together, surrounded by trees and birdsong. I smiled, knowing I probably looked a little goofy. Liam smiled back. In that moment, my body sated and my heart so full it might burst, I realized I could no longer say that the last time I’d been truly content was eleven years ago, because at this very minute, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’d never been happier.
As I rolled off Liam and we started gathering our clothes, I glanced at the waterfall and remembered the black-and-white photograph of the first couple to be married here. Whoever they were, I wondered if they’d felt as free and perfectly at peace as I did in this same place. I hoped so.
