His heart squeezed tight in his chest. “If being in this means I love you and I’m not going anywhere, then yeah, I’m in this.”
“You love me?” The hesitation in her voice pulled at him and he pressed his lips over hers, taking his time to show her his feelings without using words.
He’d rather taste her. Her tongue slid against his and her fingers thread through his hair, hanging on to him tight. The kiss went on and he never wanted to let her go.
But he forced himself to break their connection.
Drawing a deep breath, he inhaled the strawberry scent he did not want to live without and met her gaze. “Yeah, princess. I love you.”
Tears filled her eyes. “I love you, too.”
“Then why are you crying?” He brushed away the moisture on her face.
“Because other than my grandmother and sister, no one’s ever said that to me before. And knowing you feel the same way? That’s everything.”
No, she was everything.
“You deserve to be loved. And I’m going to spend every day proving that to you. Because this isn’t just a one summer thing. You and me? We’re in this for the long term and that includes marriage and kids…”
“And a dog?”
He laughed. “A dog, a cat, a house…anything you want,” he said, and then he went about sealing the deal with their mouths and their bodies. Because she was his. And if he had his way, it would be for a lifetime.
