Nikki’s laughter tinkled across the water, the sound pure as wind-driven snow. “Changing her mind is a woman’s prerogative.”
“The hell it is. How’s a man supposed to keep up?” He dove into the water, surfacing beside her. “If we’re going to have children, I demand that you marry me.”
Nikki treaded water with leisurely strokes of her arms, wrinkling her nose. “That’s not a very romantic proposal.”
“I’m not feeling romantic, I’m feeling aggravated.” Wolfe reached for her and pulled her up against him. Pushing an errant strand of hair off her forehead, he seared a hard kiss across her lips. “I’d like to get married right here, beneath the oak tree.”
“Okay, but you know my family will all want to come. Trina being mad at you will be the least of your worries. My dad is a tyrant and he’s going to want to plan all the details.”
“When?”
She blinked. “When what?”
He reached down to pull her hips hard against him, letting her feel the thick length of his full, erect shaft. “When can we have the wedding, because unless you start wearing clothes when you go swimming you’re going to be pregnant a lot sooner than you think.”
Nikki raised one brow, a slow smile curving her delectable lips. “Is that a threat?”
“Hell no.” He rotated his hips, grinding the hard-on against her soft belly. “It’s a promise, and one I intend to keep.”
Nikki lifted her arms out of the water to wind them around his neck. “I’ve always thought it would be nice to be married on midsummer night’s eve. There’s a magic in the air, what with the flowers starting to bloom, and the promise of new life infusing the air with hope.”
Wolfe tilted his head. “That would be perfect. It’s almost a month away, but I think I can wait that long.”
Nikki giggled. “A month isn’t going to give us much time to plan, but if Trina agrees to help I think we can do it.”
“So why the change of mind?” He kicked his feet, pulling her toward the shore with him.
Nikki shook her head, her expression sobering. “Not really a change of mind so much as a change of heart. Sitting in that cage day after day, being treated as less than human, I realized that everything in life is a risk. I could have died there. What if you hadn’t found me? There are so many things I can’t control in this world, but my happiness isn’t one of them. I am not my mother, and I don’t have to let her decisions influence my life. I love you more than I thought I could ever love anyone, and I want to build a life with you.”
He trailed a series of wet kisses from her neck to her shoulder. “Well, that’s good to hear because I have no intention of ever letting you go.” They drifted into shallow water and Wolfe gathered her in his arms, carrying her toward the grassy bank.
She’d stolen his heart, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
About Anne Kane
Multi-published author Anne Kane lives in the beautiful Okanagan Valley with a bouncy Jack Russell terrier, a cantankerous Himalayan cat, a bossy little calico and too many fish to count. She spent many years trying to fit in and act normal, but finally gave up the effort and started writing erotic romance. Her two favorite genres are fantasy and science fiction, with a good dose of the paranormal thrown in to liven things up.
Her hobbies, when she's not playing with the characters in her head, include kayaking, hiking, motorcycles, swimming, skating, karate, playing guitar, singing and of course, reading. Her biggest dilemma in life is trying to find the time to do everything she loves!
Anne welcomes comments from readers. You can find her website and email addresses on her author bio page at www.ellorascave.com.
