  She nodded her head, and he smiled. This was what he’d been waiting for. “I think I’d like to start over but with a different arrangement. Nathan might be taking over implementing the changes in Duncan Enterprises, but I’d like to remain the liaison for Restore Eden.”

  “Okay,” she said slowly. “I’m a little confused, but if that’s what you want.”

  “It is. But this time, things are going to be different. We won’t be sneaking about and doing things that we know are wrong.”

  “Right,” she nodded her head, and he could see that she was upset. “No. I get that. Completely professional.”

  Smiling wickedly, he crossed the room and finally touched her. After weeks of remembering how she felt in his arms, he nearly lost control as soon as he swept his fingers over her skin. She stiffened against him, and he slowly tilted her chin up. “Not professional, Daisy. I’m going to do absolutely everything that I’ve been fantasizing about.”

  “But you said…”

  “I know what I said. I’m proposing new terms. Ones that end up with you as my wife.”

  Her eyes rounded. “What?”

  “I love you, Daisy. I’ve known for a while how I felt about you, and if you’d stuck around, I would have told you. You made me realize that I was always living my life for other people. That for once in my life, I needed to do something for me. Now I am. Marry me, Daisy.”

  She closed her eyes and leaned against him. “I love you too, Gabe. I’ve spent this whole time thinking that I had hurt you.”

  “You did. By disappearing. Which is why I figure I need to do something a little more permanent to keep you around this time. Marry me. All I need to be happy is to have you by my side for the rest of my life. Turning my life upside down.”

  She laughed and lifted her head to look at him. “I’ve never thought of myself as the marrying type. It’s so conventional.”

  “Hmm. Well, after the wedding, we could have a big party with lots of influential people to donate to your causes. And since you’ll be the woman of the hour, no one will be able to turn you down.”

  “No.” She shook her head, and his hopes plummeted. “I don’t want to share my moment with a bunch of people that I don’t know. Small affair. Family and friends. And a honeymoon in the woods in that cabin we found.”

  Gabe stilled and stared at her. “Did you just agree to marry me?”

  Daisy’s face broke out into a wide smile. “Think you can handle it?”

  Leaning down, he framed her face with his hands and kissed her. In that kiss, he tried to express everything that he was feeling. Relief. Joy. Love.

  Daisy may have had a rocky relationship with the men in the Maxfield family, but now she had a more permanent one. And he would spend the rest of his life loving her.

  Epilogue

  Daisy looked around the apartment feeling a little wistful. This had been her home for so long. It was cheap, broken down, and was surrounded by some questionable characters, but it was hers nonetheless. It had seen her through all her crusades, but this chapter in her life was now closed. And it wasn’t the boxes that were piled up in the corner that really closed the deal but the ring on her finger.

  “Mrs. Daisy Maxfield,” Gabe muttered as he put his arms around her and nuzzled her neck. “Are you happy?”

  Daisy Maxfield. The name still sounded foreign to her ears. She held up her hand and stared at the diamond and gold band on her finger. “I would have been happy with a ring-pop and eloping,” she said with a chuckle.

  He nipped at the sensitive skin on her neck, and she shivered. He’d given her the small wedding and the honeymoon cabin, but none of that changed the fact that she’d married into money. Gabe tried to insist that she move out of her apartment immediately after he’d proposed, but she balked. Although she’d spent almost every night with him, she was still a traditional girl. But the honeymoon was over, and it was time to step into her new life.

  “You keep looking around this place like you’re sad to see it go.”

  Turning, she hooked her arms around his neck and slid her fingers through his hair. “I am a little sad to see it go. You have no idea the things I did in this apartment.”

  “You forget that I have a whole file on you,” he said before he dipped his head and kissed her slowly. “I know exactly what you did in here. The protest rallies you planned. The pickets that you drew up. The petitions you drafted and hounded politicians to sign.”

  The rumors that the heat died down after the honeymoon weren’t true. Her heart still fluttered as his hands slid down her body. “This apartment was my inspiration.”

  “This building houses drug addicts and thieves,” he muttered as he squeezed her ass cheeks. She inhaled sharply as he pulled her closer towards him.

  “I lived here,” she reminded him. “And I’m neither a drug addict nor a thief.”

  Lifting her slightly, Gabe pushed her up against the wall. “But you are definitely addictive. You know what I think might help might make the transition a little easier?”

  Daisy wrapped her legs around his waist and rubbed her pussy over his hardness. “What would that be?” she moaned.

  “A proper goodbye.” He nipped at her earlobe and set her gently on the floor. His hands immediately went to the button on her pants, and before too long, he had her leg hooked over his shoulder and his tongue driving her crazy. As she panted and cried out, her fists banged against the wall.

  “Hey!” her neighbors shouted. “Keep it down over there!”

  “Oh, God,” she screamed as the orgasm ripped through her. Gabe kept his hands wrapped around her waist as she slowly slid boneless to the floor. “You’re right,” she moaned as he pulled her off the wall and slid up her body for a long kiss. “This is an excellent way to say goodbye. And hello.”

  He smiled wickedly as he shucked his pants. “Hello?”

  “Hello to the rest of my life,” she whispered. Raising her knees, she scraped her fingers along the wood floor as he sheathed himself inside her.

  “I love you, baby,” he moaned softly as he began to move. She stared deep into his eyes as he slid deeper into her. He was everything that completed her, and he was now hers forever.

  She wasn’t saying goodbye to her apartment or saying goodbye to her old life. He accepted every part of her, and he fulfilled her. Love and happiness had been the missing puzzle piece, and with him, she finally had it all. The eyes don’t lie, and his said that he would be hers forever.

  Just like, she would be his. Forever.

  Exclusive Excerpt The Billionaire’s Stubborn Lover

  The Maxfield Brothers Series Book Three

  “She is going to kill me,” Nathan groaned as he bent down to slip on his loafers. His notebooks and papers were skewed all over the kitchen table, and he gathered them as best he could. Glancing once again at the clock, he swore and shoved everything into his bag. Snagging his keys and the bag already in his grip, he was out the door and taking the apartment stairs two a time. “She is so going to murder me!”

  Angie Maxfield was not usually a terrifying person, but if he didn’t haul ass, he wa
s probably going to be the main event at her party. It was bad enough that the CEO of Duncan Enterprises was married to his oldest brother, but now she was also pregnant. Very pregnant.

  Pregnant, hormonal, and cranky.

  Hoping to buy himself more time, he called his other brother, Gabe, as he started the car and threw it noisily into gear. In another interesting twist of his family history, his middle brother had recently married Nathan’s ex-girlfriend, Daisy. And while he’d given Gabe his blessing, he was fully prepared to use the situation to his advantage and at least try to save his ass.

  “Nathan,” Gabe growled in a warning voice. “You’re not here, and Stephen has noticed.”

  “I’ve left my apartment. It’s going to take me twenty minutes to get there. Has Angie noticed that I’m not there?”

  “Twenty minutes? Nathan, you live thirty minutes away.”

  Nathan hit the accelerator and flew down the road. “I’m aware of that, and you haven’t answered the question.”

  “Angie is currently distracted by Daisy because Stephen forgot to pick up the cake. He’s going to try to sneak it in without her noticing. I thought his lack of sleep was supposed to start after the baby was born.”

  “You need to make sure that she doesn’t realize that I’m late. These days when she’s angry, she cries, and I can’t see that woman cry again. It terrifies me.”

  Gabe chuckled. “I know what you mean, but why are you throwing me into the line of fire?”

  “You married my ex-girlfriend.” Nathan tapped the button on the steering wheel to disconnect the call and gripped the steering wheel tighter. The truth was that he was happy for Gabe and Daisy. Since their marriage, Gabe had been far less uptight and much easier to be around and while Daisy was still passionate about her causes, she was far less likely to get in an argument with someone over their sloppy recycling methods.

  Nathan and Daisy were finished long before they actually broke up, so there was no jealousy or hatred between the brothers. But Nathan desperately needed to get to the party before Angie realized that he was late, and he was not above using Gabe since he was in a corner.

  Inspiration had struck in the early hours of the morning, and Nathan hadn’t gotten much sleep. He’d spent hours sketching on paper and looking at previous designs. It wasn’t until he’d gotten up for more coffee that he even realized it was no longer morning.
