I reach for her hand, my fingers brushing against hers. “Is that a yes?”
Her lips part, trembling slightly before they curve into the most radiant smile I’ve ever seen. “Yes, Liam. A thousand times yes.”
Relief and joy crash through me like a tidal wave. I slide the iron band onto her finger, the weight of it a symbol of everything we’ve built and everything we will build together.
She stares at the ring for a moment, then looks up at me, her eyes shining. “You made this, didn’t you?”
I nod. “Every bend, every strike. Just for you.”
Her breath hitches, and then she launches herself at me, wrapping her arms around my neck and pressing her lips to mine. The kiss is deep, unrestrained, and filled with everything we haven’t said until now. My hands find her waist, pulling her closer, grounding her to me.
When we finally break apart, she’s breathless, her forehead resting against mine. “You’re my home too, Liam. You always have been.”
The words settle into me like they belong, filling a space I didn’t know was empty. I kiss her again, slower this time, savoring every second. The rest of the world fades away, leaving just us, the creak of the porch swing, and the stars beginning to emerge above.
As the night deepens, I pull her into my lap, holding her close as we watch the horizon shift into twilight.
“I'll go to the ends of the Earth and back to make you happy,” I whisper, nuzzling into her silky skin. “What are you doing to me, precious?” I stroke her jaw before placing a reverent kiss on her cheek. My fingertips dart down the nape of her neck, watching as shivers erupt and race across her flesh. In the beginning, I was afraid to give too much of myself to her, scared of hurting her, but now not having her feels like a crime. “You're perfect. So sweet,” I say softly as my hands twist into her hair and pull her lips to mine. “You're everything, and you don't even know it.”
“Liam…” she hums.
My control strains as I position her at the right angle on top of me, her legs straddling my hips and my cock throbbing against her hot warmth beneath my workout shorts. She begins to rock against me, her pretty hair falling in waves around her face. I push her t-shirt over her shoulders and expose her breasts to the night air, full and lush and begging to be caressed in my palms.
“You're so beautiful it's heartbreaking.”
I pull her down to me, circling my tongue around her nipples, yanking and sucking as forcefully as I think she can stand. I am starved for her, starved for the release that only she can give. She saves me from myself without even realizing it. I don’t have the words to express that, but I will do my best to show her.
“I don't know what you do to me, but I don't recognize the man I am when I'm with you,” I say, with a serrated edge to my voice as I lift her off me and spin her around to face the porch railing, pushing her panties down her thighs. Her lush, curvy ass is all mine. Everything about her consumes me with all-encompassing madness. My hands slide down her curves. Her breathing picks up as my lips trail across her neck and I dig my nose into the sweet scent of her pussy. “I love your ass, gorgeous.”
She wiggles against me as I drag my thumb down her wet slit. She groans, and I dart her sweetness against my lips, loving the way she tastes on my tongue.
Jesus, she has me so fucked up and inside my own head, every part of her leaves me reeling. “You walk around so innocent. You don't know what you've been doing to me since day one.” I push my hands up her torso. “Driving me nuts.”
I gently tug on her hair before pulling her hips towards me, my eager eyes focused on her smooth, warm entrance. Without asking, I plunge my tongue into her folds and hungrily suck and lick until she covers my face and becomes a quivering mess.
Her fingers grip onto the porch railing as I work her with my mouth. Her soft moans intensify, making my arousal grow again. I want to explode inside of her, just to prove that she’s finally mine. I owe everything to her.
"Oh Liam, yes, yes, yes!" She shatters against my tongue moments later, grinding her hips against my face as I hold onto her firmly. Her release washes over my chin and lips.
Her knees settle on either side of my hips and then, very slowly, so slowly I nearly lose my mind, she slides herself down onto me, and I am home. Sheathed in her searing hot warmth, my mind slows and my body growls with passion and raw, primal want. She is mine.
