She felt breathless. “Like what?”
“Like you want me to keep you safe when it’s storming outside.”
She swooned, and he held her tight. They started to kiss again, ignoring the whirl of the party around them. Wynn pulled away.
“Happy birthday,” she said.
He grinned. “Thanks. Wynn?”
She felt her heart race, like everything in her life was leading to this one moment. He brushed her wet hair off her temples. “Yes?”
“I only want one thing for my birthday.”
She felt his heart racing beneath her palm. “What’s that?”
“You.”
“Kade...”
“This time apart has been rough on me.” He touched his forehead to hers. “I felt so empty without you.”
“I couldn’t stop thinking about you,” she confessed. “I dreamt of you every night.”
“I can’t imagine my life without you. I need you, Wynn.”
She could see that there was more he wanted to say. She touched his cheek and kissed him sweetly. “I need you, too.”
“I only want you, Wynn. Will you marry me?”
She sighed and pretended to think about it. “I always wanted a short engagement. I’ve never been one of those two-year-engagement type girls.”
“Wynn?”
“Yes...I’ll marry you.”
When she started this case, Wynn never imagined that she’d find the love of her life. Somehow she just knew that fate had worked overtime on bringing them together. Love really was like a sinfully sweet arrow to the heart. She kissed Kade again. Life put her exactly where she needed to be, and she wasn’t about to let go again.
