something I need to tell you.”
Sliding a hand underneath her back, he brought her up easily. Her arms slid around his neck, her thighs spread open wide across his lap. They fit together perfectly, their bodies connecting like two pieces of a puzzle. He waited patiently for his mate to speak, curious as to what was on her mind.
She cleared her throat before easing her face away from his neck to meet his eyes. “That day in Missouri, the first time we had sex, you asked me something. I didn't have a chance to reply, I was too caught up in the moment, and you've never asked me again. I know we're mated and married now, so maybe it's obsolete.” A flicker of sadness flashed across her features as she added softly, “It's probably not a big deal to you, but it bothers me that I hurt you. I didn't realize at the time what it really meant to you.”
His lips curled up into a gentle, amused smile. He knew immediately what she meant, and he
was touched by the gesture. “So now that I've given you months of hard, hot sex you're finally ready to be mine, huh?” he asked teasingly. “I'll have to remember that's the secret to getting my way with you.”
“Don't try to change the subject,” Taylor replied, with a small smile. “I just wanted you to know.
And you're mine, too,” she added warningly. “So remember that whenever I've finally worn down your unlimited sex supply.”
He laughed heartily at her possessiveness, moving his face close to the crook of her neck to
nuzzle it in delight. He was pleased to see this side of her. When he could speak without laughing again, he raised his head and said, “Baby, I've been yours, and I'll always be. There isn't a woman alive that could ever make me feel the way you do. Something far greater than us planned for us to be together, and I'll spend the rest of my life in gratitude for it. I'm yours... Until the end of time.”
Her eyes searched his, seeing the sincerity shining within them. “Until the end of time,” she
agreed as she pulled his lips to hers, sealing the bargain for an eternity.
