It took him a second to realize what I’d done, but when he did, a goofy smile slipped across his handsome face. “Seriously?”
“Hm-hmm.” I giggled as I said, “You know what they say... All is fair in love and war.”
“Is that right?”
When he stood and started towards me, I lowered my shirt and took a step back. “Easy there, killer. You’ve gotta get to the clubhouse, remember?”
“That was before you showed me the goods.”
He started charging towards me with that look in his eye, and a thrill shot through me. I started running out of the room with a screech. “Quinton!”
“No sense running, babe.” He rushed after me as he shouted, “You’re only making it harder on yourself.”
“I was just goofing around!”
Quinton chased me out of the bedroom and down the hall, and I was about to make it to the living room when I felt his arms around my waist. He lifted me into the air and gave me a quick spin. My heart swelled as he lowered my feet to the floor and smiled.
He was loving and protective, and there was a tenderness in his touch that I’d never felt with any man. He held my heart in his hand, and I held his. He trailed kisses along my neck, and chills ran throughout my entire body when pinned me against the wall. He stilled for a moment, then he said something that took me by complete surprise.
“Marry me.”
“What?”
“You heard me.” His eyes never left mine as he repeated, “Marry me.”
“Quinton, we’ve only known each other for a couple of months.”
“Yeah, so?”
“We still have so much to learn about one another.”
“I know enough.” He brought his hands up to my face and brushed my bottom lip with the pad of his thumb as he whispered, “I know you’re my one and only, and I plan to spend the rest of my life making sure you know that.”
“Quinton.”
“I meant it, Jules. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
“I want to spend the rest of my life with you, too.”
“Then, say yes.”
“Okay.” I could feel my smile grow wider as I told him, “Yes, I’ll marry you.”
“Hell, yeah.”
His eyes danced with excitement as he lowered his lips to mine, kissing me with a passion I’d never known was possible. Our hunger for each other took over, causing the kiss to become wild and heated, and I found myself reaching for the hem of his shirt, tugging it over his head. Pleased that I’d changed my tone about messing around, he smiled and said, “Now, that’s more like it.”
I tossed his shirt to the floor, then lowered his jeans down his hips before giving him a gentle shove, pushing him down on the sofa. Seeing how unbelievably hot he looked had my entire body humming with anticipation. I quickly removed my top, and his eyes followed my hands as they lowered my pants down my legs. I felt the heat of his stare as his eyes slowly roamed over me, and a needful ache burned inside of me when he growled, “Holy hell, woman. You are absolutely stunning.”
“When you say it like that, I almost believe it.”
It was clear from the expression on his face that the news pleased him. I smiled as I stepped closer. I lowered myself down on the sofa, straddling him as he pulled me in for another kiss. He took my breasts in his hands, gently caressing each with the pad of his thumb. My head fell back as he raised his mouth to my nipple and began nipping and sucking the sensitive flesh, sending goosebumps all over my body.
The warmth of his breath caressed my skin when he whispered, “I love you, Jules. More than you could ever know.”
“And I love you, Quinton. More every minute.”
A low, agonizing growl vibrated through his chest when I rocked my hips forward, causing his erection to rake against my warm, wet center. I loved that I was having such an effect on him, and feeling like a powerful seductress, I rocked my hips back and forth, rubbing my clit against him.
“Fuck,” he groaned as he dug his fingers into my flesh.
While I enjoyed seeing him respond to my touch, the anticipation of having him inside me had become too much to bear. I reached beneath me, taking his long, thick shaft in my hand, slowly stroking him up and down before positioning him at my entrance.
With one swift thrust, he slammed deep inside me, giving me every inch of his rock-hard cock. I stilled for a moment, trying to adjust to him before I started to move my hips again. I gasped when he shifted forward, finding that spot that made every nerve in me tingle. He placed his hands on my hips as I slowly began to move, groaning at the jolts of pleasure that shot through me.
