He laughed and pushed opened the door. “Come on. Let’s get out ofhere.”

“I’m serious.” She followed him into the dwindling daylight. “If you ever break up with me, I’ll stalkyou.”

His snicker was awkward.

“And if you leave me, I’ll slash your tires.” She swung their joined hands with delight. “After all this time, destiny has finally brought us together.” She grinned as he slowed his stride, his posture stiffening. “Do you think it’s time to start discussing matching tattoos?”

He stopped, his gaze taking long seconds to meet hers. He scanned her face, searching her expression.

“What’s wrong?” She blinked up at him. “Are you scared of needles?”

His eyes narrowed, and he yanked her into his chest. “You’re playing games withme?”

“Maybe.” She chuckled. “You startedit.”

“I’ll finish it, too.” He pinned her hands behind her back and smashed his mouth to hers, punishing her with bliss.

She wiggled, not wanting to succumb a second time. “Don’t start this again.”

“I won’t.” He stared down at her, his gaze raking over her eyes, her nose, her lips. Each feature was treated to the same visual affection. “I think I changed mymind.”

“About?” She gave his gorgeous face the same tender inspection, taking in the kindness of those deep blue eyes and the dark temptinglips.

“I’m not going to fuck this up, Ella.”

“You know what, Bryan?” Her heart swelled again, pumping tingling blood through every inch of her, filling her with confidence. “I believeyou.”
