She could feel his smile against her mouth as he kissed her. "It goes both ways, you know," he said. "You have the same advantage that I do. You just haven't used it yet. Come on, sweetheart. Take a road trip with me. It's the perfect time. We're still unemployed, but probably not for long. I have some money left. We'll get a honeymoon suite at a cheesy casino hotel with a Jacuzzi tub and a vibrating bed. We'll order out for room service. I'll buy you an evening dress. On our way back, we can explore the desert together. Ever see the sun set in the desert?"
She rubbed against him, so that her sensitive nipples brushed against his chest. The contact was a rippling thrill. "My mother would never forgive you if you cheated her out of planning our wedding."
"Who says she needs to know? We'll do it again for her benefit. Another wedding night, another honeymoon? I'm all for it."
He was grinning, glowing with happiness. So gorgeous, her heart was going to explode with tenderness. She pulled his face to hers and kissed him. "Persuade me," she ordered. "Go on. Do your worst."
"Huh?" He looked baffled, but intrigued.
"Go on. Bend me to your will. Overwhelm me with your masterful charisma. Sweep me off my feet. You know I love it."
"You're already on your back," he observed.
"Well, then. You have a head start," she said. "Lucky you."
His smile grooves carved themselves deep into his lean face, and she sighed with delight. She was going to be dazzled by that gorgeous grin for as many years as luck would grant her.
"OK, fine," he said. "This is how it's going to be. I'm going to make passionate love to you until I reduce you to a puddle of sated bliss. Then I'll carry you out to my car. When you wake up, we'll be speeding through the middle of a beautiful nowhere. Mountains, deserts, who knows what. The sun will just be coming up, turning everything pink. If you give me any trouble, I'll pull off the road, lay you out on the hood of my car, and go down on you while you stare up at the morning star, glowing in that huge, open sky. Just you and me and one lonely eagle circling up there to watch us. What do you say? Sound like a plan?"
She pulled him closer. "Oh, God, I love you. I love this."
He hugged her so close, their hearts thudded in unison. "I love you, too. But what about my plan? Is it masterful enough? Will you be swept away and overwhelmed? Or do I need to fine-tune?"
"It sounds pretty great," she assured him. "But what about the part where I spread you out on the hood of the car under that big open sky? Fair's fair, right?"
They gazed into each other's eyes. Connor shook his head. "Wow, sweetheart," he said softly. "This is going to be one hell of a road trip."
