“Marry me, Gabi.” Her body stilled. Tears filled her eyes and she slowly smiled.
With a nod of her head, she whispered, “Yes.”
I lifted my hand up and pushed her wet blonde hair away from her gorgeous face.
“When?”
Giggling, she replied, “I’d marry you this very moment if we could.”
My brows lifted. “A wedding?” I asked, hoping like hell she would say no. The last thing I wanted was a dog and pony show for a wedding.
“No. I love your family, Nic, honest to God I do. But if we get married, I want it to only be the two of us.”
Relief swept across my body as my heart raced in my chest. If someone had told me six months ago I’d be whisking a woman off to marry her, I’d have laughed in their face. But for the last few weeks it was all I could think about. Watching Charity and Cole, and Thad and Phoebe, as well as Thano and Kilyn, I knew I wanted that life with Gabi. There was no doubt about it. I wanted to watch the sunrise as the moon set for the rest of my life with this woman.
“I agree. I took vacation this week so we could paint the house. We could blow that off.”
Excitement danced across her face. “What are you saying, Nic?”
“I’m saying, after we get done fucking in the tub, I’m taking you to Lake Tahoe, making you my wife, and spending the next four days buried inside of you.”
With a concerned expression, she asked, “What about the bakery?”
“For once I don’t want to care about anything. The only thing I want to think about is the fact that I want to marry you. I want to take you away and spend every minute of the day with you.” My fingertips traced her jawline. “I want to make love until we can hardly move.”
Her mouth rose in a sinfully sexy grin, causing me to smile.
“Gabi, I want to make a baby.”
I watched as her eyes went from happy, to shocked, to pure bliss. A sob slipped from her mouth as she started to laugh while tears slid down her face.
“I . . . I want . . . I want that too, Nic. So badly!”
Slipping my hand around her neck, I drew her mouth to mine. “Then we better get to starting.”
Our mouths crushed together as Gabi picked up the pace. The sound of the water sloshing was hot as damn hell. Neither one of us gave two shits it was getting everywhere. Our sweet passion turned into a lust I couldn’t describe. If I thought I could crawl into her body I would, and I knew she felt the same.
“That’s it, fuck me faster.”
She did what I asked. Her tits bouncing as the water went everywhere.
“Nic. I’m going to come,” she cried out. Her hands splayed across my chest when her orgasm hit her, causing her entire body to tremble and her pussy to squeeze around my cock.
“Jesus,” I cried out as we came together. My warm cum pouring into her body. Heaven on earth.
When she collapsed onto me, I wrapped her up in my arms. The once-hot water now seeming cold as Gabi shivered.
I reached for the drain and sat there holding her while the water level slowly fell. Reaching for the towel that was on the stool, I wrapped it around her.
She sat up, my cock still inside of her, jerking and trying to make another go at it.
When she smiled, my heart filled with love and contentment. For a quick moment, it was hard to fill my lungs with air as she gazed at me.
We both stood. I stepped out of the tub first, then reached for her hand and helped her out. Reaching for another towel, I put it around my waist then bent down to start drying off Gabi. She never took her eyes off of me while I dried off every single inch of her body.
With a grin, she said, “I love you.”
Standing, I cupped her face within in my hands. “And I love you. More than anything.”
Gabi covered her mouth and giggled. Her towel dropped to her feet and my eyes swept over that perfect body.
“Are we really going to elope, Nic?”
“Fuck yes we are, if you’re down for it.”
She nodded. “We have to tell someone though.”
“Cole and Charity. I don’t trust anyone in my family.”
“Absolutely. Even Thano and Kilyn can’t be trusted. She’s been binging on your mother’s desserts. Who knows what she would say to get more kataifi.”
My hand was itching to touch her body. Pushing my towel down, I watched her eyes turn dark while taking in my naked body.
“When . . . when are we going to go?”
With a smug grin, I drew her body to mine, sliding my hand between her legs. I slipped my fingers inside her, moaning at how ready she was for me again.
