He could see the red marks where his hand had been.
“I need to do that again, Daisy. Are you ready?” he asked and leaned forward.
“Hurry, I miss your hands on my skin.”
Positioning himself once more at her entrance, he lay over her body and kissed her, inching in further as he worshipped her lips with his mouth. Nate raised her thighs, encouraging her to wrap her legs around his waist. Once he had her where he wanted her, he rested his elbows on the bed next to her arms and rocked gently in and out of her body. His mouth nuzzled her neck as he brought them both to the height of their second orgasm. Daisy came quietlythis time. The softer throbs of her climax took hold of his cock and squeezed until he came. Her walls contracted until she heard his muffled groan in her hair and then lay panting.
Nate dropped her legs and stretching them out on the bed, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his shoulder.
Chapter Sixteen
Daisy
After a few moments of lying in silence together, Nate leaned over to kiss Daisy once more before murmuring softly, “I think I might be in love with you.”
The words sent electric waves through Daisy’s entire being. She smiled up at him and replied, just as softly and just as full of unspoken meaning, “I think I might feel the same way.”
“This might sound fast, but I want to marry you,” he said after a moment of hesitation.
“Seriously?” she whispered.
Daisy felt like someone had kicked her in the gut. Her opinion of Nate was that he wasn’t one for getting engaged quickly, and there he was proposing? While it was what she wanted, it caught her off-guard. This impulsiveness could mean trouble for their relationship. She looked into his eyes, searching for any signs that this was some kind of joke or prank. But all she saw there was love and devotion.
“That’s madness,” she replied after a moment while struggling to push those thoughts out of her mind.
“I know,” he admitted sadly. “I shouldn’t have said anything.”
“I’ll marry you, Nate,” she responded warmly, thinking that she would marry this man, no matter how crazy it seemed.
Nate pulled her into a tight hug and kissed her deeply. When he pulled away, she saw his eyes were welling up.
“My mum will want to be there,” Nate blurted.
“My mum, too,” Daisy said, getting excited about the idea.
“Did you know our mothers were friends until she left the island?”
“No, really?”
“Yeah. When I told her I was in love with Daisy Turner, she cried. She misses your mum and was overjoyed that I’d found a woman to love.”
Daisy dipped her head to think, to get all her wishes out. “I want a simple wedding.”
“That’s okay with me.”
“Will you move into the cottage?”
“Absolutely. I’d be happy to wake up not smelling engine oil.”
Daisy let out a belly laugh and threw her head back. “Oh God, are we doing this?” she screeched.
“Yep. Shit.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I need a ring, and I didn’t really propose.”
“I don’t care about anything like that. I’d be happy with a plain wedding band. I don’t want fancy jewellery.”
