She nodded and squirmed. “That was exciting.”
His brows rose. “You liked that?”
“Yes.”
“What part did you like?”
“The part where you were honest with me and trusted me to handle what you needed to show.”
“I liked that, too.”
“I’m going to like this next part, too,” she stated, smiling up at him, wiggling against his hand.
His smile broadened. “And what’s that?”
“You and me, coming together, as husband and wife.”
He slid two fingers inside her slowly and steadily, stretching her deliciously. “It’s going to be sweet.”
He added a third, pressing it against her opening, letting her contemplate the potential. “It’s going to be passionate.” He eased it in beside the others. It was a tight fit. A perfect fit. “I’m going to make you burn, and when you think you can’t stand it anymore, I’m going to make you explode.”
She moaned “Yes,” spreading her legs wider, inviting him deeper. “Make me love it,” she gasped as he set a steady rhythm.
“Yes,” he hissed back, giving her what she wanted. What she needed. And squeezing her pussy around his fingers, she gave him what he needed back. Her acceptance. Her love.
“And when it’s over—” she stroked his cheek, seeing that tiny bit of uncertainty he tried to hide inside him “—I’m going to be right here with you. I won’t abandon you, either, Caden.”
His hand stilled. “Fuck.”
For a moment he didn’t move, just stared at her with those beautiful eyes, and she worried she’d gone too far, bringing his fears into the open. She could feel the tension welling inside him, emotional, sexual, and then he crushed her to him, his mouth biting at hers.
“Goddamn, I love you.”
“I love you, too.” And this time when she said it, it was right. There was no hesitation. No uncertainty, no little quiver of fear. This time when she said it, it was an opening, a beginning.
He pulled back, his gaze searching hers as he settled between her thighs. Cupping his face in her hands, she stroked her thumbs over his lips the way he did to her, wrapping her legs around his hips, opening her body, her heart and soul to his possession. Sighing as she joined him, savoring the bliss before giving him that one other thing he needed. Her promise.
“Always, Caden.”
