“I love you.” Resting his forearms on each side of her head, Gavin couldn’t believe the beautiful woman belonged to him.
Taylor slipped her arms around his neck as she arched seductively under the heavy weight of his body. “You better, or you just wasted your money buying me a ring.”
He reached for the wrist at his neck, lowering it to see the huge rock he had given her two hours ago. “You like it?”
It wasn’t the ring that he had expected her to want, but when they had gone ring shopping, Taylor’s eyes had been drawn like a magnet to the large diamond that was front and center in the jeweler’s case.
“I love it almost as much as I love you.”
Pulling her hand to his lips, he kissed her hand before placing it back on his neck. “I’m the luckiest man on earth.”
Gavin shuddered at the brush of her fingertips at the nape of his nape. “I take it back. I’m the luckiest man in the universe.”
Her lips curled up in a satisfied smile. “Was it worth the wait?”
“I would wait another four months if that’s what it took to get you in my bed.” He groaned, his dick already getting hard again as she circled her thighs around his hips so her pussy cradled his burgeoning cock.
“I just wanted to make sure you knew where your head was.” She sultrily rubbed her breasts across his chest, making him clench his teeth to keep his dick from delving back inside her pussy. “It’s not like you didn’t have a club filled with women to take care of you.”
“I told you it didn’t matter how many women were in the club if none of them were you.”
“I believe you, but I wanted to make sure.”
“You sure now?” he asked, then anxiously waited for her answer.
“Sure enough that I agreed to marry you, didn’t I?”
“Let’s go get married tomorrow,” he growled out as he nuzzled the curve of her neck.
“I told you I want a big wedding.” Pulling her head away, her expression turned pleading. “Don’t you want to see me walking down the aisle in a beautiful dress?”
“I would rather see my wedding ring on your finger tomorrow.”
Her gorgeous eyes darkened in hurt as Taylor slid out from underneath him to get to her feet. “If you loved me, you’d understand how important a big wedding is to me.”
The disappointment on her face had him realizing that it was going to be another of those times he was going to have to give in to her demands to make her happy.
Rising from the bed, he tugged her into his arms. “If it’s that important to you, then it’s important to me. If a big wedding is really what you want, then you can have all the bells and whistles.” Sitting down on the bed, Gavin pulled her down onto his lap.
His words didn’t lighten her mood. “Maybe you’re not ready to commit to me the way I want you to. Are you worried The Last Riders will talk you out of marrying me?”
“That’s not the reason, babe. I promise the only reason I wanted to get married as soon as possible is because I don’t want to take the chance that you’ll change your mind.”
Her thick lashes fell to cover the hurt in her eyes that had him thinking of ways to soothe her.
“Viper hates me, doesn’t he?”
“No, he doesn’t.” That was a lie. His brother didn’t like the woman he had chosen to spend the rest of his life with, but so far, he had kept his opinions to himself, unlike his best friend who he was just as close to as Viper. “I don’t know why you keep saying that. Viper doesn’t say shit about our relationship.”
“Only because he hopes you’ll get tired of me. If he had his way, you’d never see me again.” Resting her head on his shoulder, she ran a caressing hand down his chest. “He hates me almost as much as Rider does.”
Gavin stiffened as the woman he loved gave a small sob, burrowing closer into him as if seeking sanctuary. “What makes you think Rider doesn’t like you?”
“It’s obvious to me; I don’t know how you haven’t caught it. He’s always rude to me when you’re not around, but when you’re there, he couldn’t be nicer. The night I cooked that nice dinner for you and you didn’t show up, didn’t you say that Rider was the reason?”
“He needed my help that night—”
“He’s always butting into our special nights. You need to open your eyes, Gavin, and realize that Rider is trying to tear us apart.”
“We’re used to taking each other’s back when something comes up. I call him just as much when I need something taken care of.”
She lifted glistening eyes to his. “In other words, when you need something, you’re always going to turn to him instead of me?” Taylor tried to slip off his lap. “Maybe you should marry him.”
