“Because…” I sigh, searching for the words to make my actions make sense to a man so grounded roots sprout from his motorcycle boots.
“Because?” He shakes his head. “That’s not an answer, Maggie.”
“I know. I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry for running, but I did it for you. And for me.”
“No. I want the truth,” he says, his gaze so focused on me I have to resist the urge to squirm.
“I want to stay, Nova. Almost from the moment I met you, I wanted to stay with you and make a life with you, but it’s impossible.”
The look in his eyes gives me hope, and I cup his face. “It is possible. If you want this as much as me, we can make it happen.”
“I was wrong to bounce but I’m a liability for you and your MC. As long as I’m around, you’ll never shake the Devils. That’s the cold hard truth.”
He opens his mouth to argue and I put two fingers to his lips. “But I want you, Nova. I want you more than any other man, more than anyone in this world. I love you and I’m choosing to love over fear.”
“Maggie,” he whispers, leaning into my touch.
“No, I’m serious Nova. I will love you however you need. Patient and kind when you need it. A kick in the ass if necessary. Hot sex whenever you want. I’ll even stay quiet.” I chuckle, thinking about his hand across my mouth. “However you need to be loved, that’s how I’ll give it to you. I swear.”
He laughs, shaking his head and gripping my wrists. “That’s so fucking great to hear. There’s nothing I want more than for you to be mine.” He smiles and kisses my hands, my wrists. “I thought I lost you for good.”
“So it ain’t too late for us?”
“Fuck no. I just wanna be better for you. You deserve it.”
I shake my head. “But you’re already a good man, Nova. Ain’t met many in my life but I know one when I see him.”
“I’m just a man, Mags.”
“Nah, you a good one. You took me in and cared for me ‘cause you’re good. And when you found out who I was you still did right by me. I just didn’t realize ‘til later. I ain’t the woman you deserve but I’m gonna be.”
“You’re the woman I want. Who my heart chose to love and build a life with.”
His words make my heart soar. Never thought I’d hear that from any man, let alone one as good as Nova. Him choosing me does something I can’t explain.
“I’m a lot, I know that. Too tough for my own good with a smart fucking mouth that don’t shut up.”
He chuckles. “I got ways to keep you quiet for a bit.”
Just thinking about that makes me heat up. “I am who I am. Getting better won’t happen quick but I wanna be just Maggie.”
“Well that’s great ‘cause I love Maggie. Just Maggie is perfect for me.”
I laugh a little. “Good ‘cause I love you too, Dr. Bishop.”
He claims my mouth in a harsh kiss that steals my breath. I arch into him, holding on tight. I’ll never let go. Kissing him is incredible, especially thinking I’d lost this.
He kisses me dizzy like the first time. And here I am silently begging for more.
“Maggie,” he growls. “I love you and want a life with you. I’ll love you how you need. We can be fucked up together, imperfectly together.”
His promise wraps around me, sending warmth through my veins to my heart. “Sounds pretty fucking great to me.”
“Thank fuck,” he sighs. “How’s going home sound?”
“Your home?”
He smiles and shakes his head. “Our home.”
My body sags in relief. “Holy fucking shit, who knew that would sound as great as it does?”
Nova laughs, and the sound is music to my ears, and when he brushes another kiss to my lips, I feel like I’m home for the first time in my life. “Then let’s go home. Together.”
“Sounds good to me.” I sit up quickly and smile.
“As soon as I check you out.”
My eyes go wide. “Seriously? You want to play doctor right now?”
“With you? Always.”
Fuck me, I am totally gonna love this man forever.
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
Nova
Having Maggie in my home—our home—and in our bed is even better than I dreamed it would be. With her all laid out, totally naked for me to do whatever I want, I take my time with her, tasting every inch of her skin until I find her pussy wet and glistening, swollen just for me. My tongue slides through her folds, and she releases a strangled moan that makes my cock ache.
Her hands tangle in my hair, gripping it so tight it stings just enough to tighten my balls, so I slip two fingers deep while my tongue laps at her clit, over and over, until her body tenses and her toes curl.
