I taste her lips, her jaw, her neck. I unfasten the towel knot and let it fall on the bed, then brush the tip of my tongue over her shoulder and lower, over her breast. I take my time kissing and licking the skin of her perfect mounds and then I suck in the peak, making her back arch, pushing her breast against my mouth. I tease her nipple with soft bites and slow licks, then I turn my head and focus on the other one. I repeat the torture and she arches and moans and drags her nails down my spine.

I kiss my way down to her navel and then farther down between her legs. I sink my tongue between her wet warm folds, making her groan. She grabs my hair in a firm grip and guides me to her clit. I lap, suck, bite her most sensitive part, until she comes on my tongue. I let her ride the waves of her orgasm, grinding my face until she comes down from her high.

I’m not done. To be honest, I’m just getting started, because I have every intention of making love to her all night long. I kneel between her legs and bury myself deep inside her. She catches her breath, biting down on my shoulder. She wraps her legs around my waist, and I slowly pump into her.

I wrap my arms around her and hold her tight while lunging into her core, making her moan and whimper and squeeze her pussy around my cock as she comes again. I bury myself deep inside her and empty not only my seed but all my feelings for her inside her womb.

I kiss her again before lying beside her and wrapping her in my arms. We stay there for a long time, without saying a word, just wrapped in our own feelings.

“Marry me,” I whisper after a while.

Silver turns around and frowns at me. “What?”

“Marry me,” I repeat, kissing her nose.

“I’m already marrying you. Have you forgotten?” she giggles.

“For real. I want to marry you for real. Nothing fake, no pretending, nothing. Just me and you.”

“Really?” She seems surprised by my proposal.

I sit up and slip out of the bed. Naked as the day I was born, I kneel in front of her stunned face. She looks at me wide-eyed and I can’t understand why. Isn’t it clear that I love her?

“Will you marry me?” I ask again, and this time my proposal sinks in.

She smiles sweetly. “Yes. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

She bends down and kisses me with a slowness and a passion I can’t describe. It’s like she is trying to convey all her love in this kiss and I’m drinking it all in. I want everything about her. Her love, her passion, her loyalty, her fears. I want all she has to give, and I want to give her all I have.

I crawl into bed and lie down, taking her in my arms. Tomorrow we’ll think about our problems, but right now? This is the time to make her mine.

We wake up in the morning a bit more rested than yesterday, but not by much. We spent the night discovering every inch of our bodies and every part of our souls. But unlike yesterday, my chest is loads lighter and my mood brighter. When I sit next to Silver at the kitchen counter for breakfast, I take a moment to admire the glow on her face. She looks even younger with that dreamy smile on her face.

“Am I crazy to be happy this morning? I mean, with everything going on, the people after me, the mess that is our life right now, shouldn’t I be a bit more worried?” She shares her thoughts.

“It’s not crazy. Our lives are a mess, true. But we’re here in this house, we have people working to solve these problems and most importantly, we’re planning to spend our lives together. Is it difficult? Yes. Is it a reason to not be happy? Hell, no!” I kiss her.

She chuckles. “You make everything seem so easy. You seem so in control of your life that sometimes I envy you.”

I scoff. “Seemis the key word here. The reality is there’s a big team of people that have my back. If I’m not able to juggle something, I have someone else who can do it for me. And you have that too. My team is your team.”

“Does Matthew know about that?” she jokes.

“We had a good chat about it. He knows now.”

She seems surprised, but I don’t want to go any deeper in a conversation that involves my best friend. I’m not sure how much he wants to share it with her.

“So, what’s the plan now?”

“We eat breakfast, then we have an appointment here with the private investigator I have on your case.”

“I’myour casenow, am I?” She playfully pushes my shoulder.

“As far as your safety is concerned, yes, you are my case.” I grab her hand and drag her toward me.

She slips her arms around my neck, while I hug and kiss her.
