Page 15
Sheer happiness filled him; wrapping his arms around her, he held her close. “Damn it, don’t cry. I don’t want you to shed tears because I love you.” When he saw her radiant smile, he sighed in relief. “What a pair we are. My darling, Laura promise, me you’ll never stop loving me when I’m being so stupid or stubborn.”
“Well, my Lord, since you are all the time and I still fell in love with you, I doubt it’s possible I’ll every stop.” She laughed when he growled, but it quickly died when his mouth took possession of hers. She slid a hand up, buried it into his thick hair and moaned as passion swept through her.
After several minutes, Garth lifted his head and his gaze caressed over her flushed face. Rising to his feet, he drew her up, lifted her in his arms and carried her to the sofa. Laying her down, he covered her with his body. “I love you so much and every day for the rest of my life I’ll show just how much.”
“You just have to look at me like you are now and I’ll know. But I wouldn’t say no if you showed me.” In a sultry tone, she teased him and laughed when he lunged up and started to tear off his clothing.
“It will be my pleasure, sweetheart. I’ve missed you so damned much and all I won’t to do is prove how much you mean to me.” Garth tossed his shirt on the floor bent over removed his shoes and stockings. “But first those clothes will have to come off.” He lifted her up and started undoing the buttons on the back of her gown. “I was in such a rush to be alone with you I forgot to mention how beguiling you look tonight, love. When I first saw you, you took my breath away.” He said close to her ear as lifted her up, unbuttoned the back of her gown and he swept down the top of her gown as his lips brushed along her fragile collarbone.
Need pounded through her as she whimpered as his fingers brushed over the top of her breasts. “Kiss me, Garth. Kiss me and don’t ever stop.”
Not bothering to reply, he captured her mouth beneath his in a long, drugging kiss and he unlaced her corset. Ending the kiss, he laid her back down and he let his gaze slowly, appreciatively slide over her. “You intoxicate me, sweetheart.” Removing her dress and several petticoats, he slipped of her shoes. Without care, he tossed them away and slid down her stocking.
With sighs of pleasure, she caressed her hand over his wide, solid chest. “You make me drunk as well.”
Chuckling he slipped off her chemise and swallowed past the lump of emotions blocking his throat. He reached down and undid the flap on his trousers, he stood up he shoved the past his hips. He stepped out of them and once more laid down beside her. Brushing the lose hair from her face, he kissed her eyelids, the tip of her nose, his mouth hovering over hers, he closed his eyes. “Thank you cupid, thank you.” He murmured softly.
“Did you say something?” Laura asked as she rubbed her aching breasts against his chest.
“I said I love you, my bewitching wife. I love you.” He mouth took possession of her and kissed her with everything in his heart. With his soul, he pledged his undying love as his hand caressed over her delicate, feminine curves. Groveling wasn’t so bad after all if this was his reward. He’d be willing to do it for the rest of his days and he wouldn’t voice one complaint.
Never could he ever imagine that being caught in a compromising position and forced to offer marriage to her would end up like this. But he didn’t have one regret, he should have realized from the very first time he kissed and he’d been addicted that they were destined to love.
When he delicate fingers started fluttering over his back, a groan rattled in his chest. Any lingering thoughts he had were brushed aside as longing and need consumed him. All that matter to him now was showing her how much she meant to him and soaring to the heights of ecstasy together that only two hearts entwined could share.
