For a moment, she gazed at him, expression blank. They’d done a lot in the past week: dealt with the cops, made love, discussed their pasts, their present, their future. He’d said I love you, and she’d said it, too, but neither of them had gotten around to bringing up marriage.
Then came that sweet, warm smile that danced along his spine and made him want to lose himself with her, and she responded with words he knew he’d hear from her again. “I do.”
He grinned foolishly as she shifted into Reverse and backed in a big U around the truck, until they were facing each other again with only a few feet of pavement between them. “Tell me again…is Jones your first name or last?”
Without waiting for an answer, she blew him a kiss and drove away. He laughed as he shifted into gear to follow her. “Settle in, Mick. We’re going home.”
