Seducing the Boss (The Pulse Series)
Page 16
“Honeymoon baby. Get off the birth control now.”
She ran her fingers along his cheek affectionately. “Remind me to teach you how to ask for things properly.”
“I warned you. Pain in the ass.”
“Yeah,” she said as she kissed him gently. “You did.”
“You want kids, right?”
“So much.”
He placed his forehead against hers. He was still buried deep inside her, neither of them in a hurry to part. “Move in with me. Tomorrow.”
“Try again.”
Kellan sucked in a deep breath. “Move in with me tomorrow?” The raised inflection at the end barely made it a question, but she seemed willing to let that slide.
“On one condition.”
“Anything,” he said without hesitation.
“I want the kidnapping. And the bondage. And the begging. Now.”
Epilogue
“Let’s raise our glass in a toast to Sara. She did the impossible when she put a ball and chain around Kellan’s ankle.”
Everyone laughed and took a sip of champagne. Their friends and families had joined them at the courthouse earlier as she and Kellan exchanged their “I dos.” Kellan hadn’t been joking when he’d insisted on a quick wedding. He had only issued his proposal to her at the Gala a week and a half earlier. Since then, she’d somehow managed to move all her things out of her place and into his, and they had spent every single night together doing wicked, unspeakable, wonderful things to each other.
“I tell you, Josh, marriage is the only way to go.” Kellan slapped his friend on the back as Sara rolled her eyes at his complete and exaggerated about face.
Josh never missed a beat. “You’ve been married exactly”—he glanced at his watch—“four hours, thirty-two minutes, and eighteen seconds. Report back to me in a couple years and let me know if you still feel the same.”
Kellan’s hand was resting on the back of her chair. He ran his fingers through her hair as she studied his far-too-pleased face. “I promise you. I will feel exactly the same.”
He was responding to Josh, but she understood that his words were meant for her.
“So will I,” she whispered.
As dinner wound down, the dessert and coffee consumed, everyone said their good-byes. Kellan and Sara were the last to leave the restaurant. It was late, and only a handful of cars remained in the parking lot, probably those belonging to the wait staff.
Sara gave Kellan a funny look when, instead of opening the passenger door of her Kia for her he opened the back one. “What’s up?”
“You and I have some unfinished business, Mrs. James.”
“We do?”
“Yep.” It was all he said, but she knew exactly what he considered unsatisfied.
“I told you,” she started. “We already—”
“No,” he interrupted. “I told you, fooling around in the ladies’ room at Score didn’t count as sex in public, and neither did hooking up on my desk at work.”
She took one last look around the parking lot and laughed. Why the hell was she fighting him on this? She wanted it as much as he did.
She climbed into the backseat, and then turned to face him, crooking her finger in invitation.
“Never let it be said that I left anything unfinished.”
