She wipes at her eyes with her free hand and nods. “It’s a yes.”
I’m quick to slide the ring on her finger, then get to my feet, collecting her in my arms and kissing her like I’ve never kissed her before, with so much passion and zero restraint. Finally, the obstacles that seemed too big to overcome have been traversed, and we’ve found our way to our happily ever after. Penny is mine, and I am hers. I’ll follow her anywhere.
Penny
“We have exactly three hours alone before a little boy wants to tell you his entire life’s plan,” Corey says, pinning me against the wall and kissing me as soon as we step inside his house.
“Will that be enough time?” I whisper, pushing his open shirt off his shoulders and letting it fall to the floor. “I don’t want to scare anyone.”
“It’s enough time for me to kiss you head to toe, make you scream at least four times then shower you so we can all have dinner as—”
“A family,” I finish for him, smiling as I loop my arms over his shoulders.
“This isn’t too much for you, is it?”
“If I had my way, Corey, we’d be married, and I’d be growing you a baby in my belly already. I want this. I want you. And everything that comes with it.”
“God, sweetheart,” he says, kissing me again. “Hearing you talk like that is so fucking hot. You have no idea how badly I want that. And the moment we say ‘I do’ I’m gonna make it happen.”
“Oh, Corey,” I gasp, letting my head fall back as his mouth moves to hungrily kiss my neck and chest before he pulls down the strap of my dress and sucks lightly on the smooth skin of my shoulder.
“I love you so fucking much, Penny.” His blue eyes lift to mine.
“I love you too,” I whisper, my fingers twisting into his hair as he brings his mouth back to mine and kisses me long and deep.
I moan and press myself against him as he squeezes at my skin and rubs his thumb over my nipple as it pushes through the fabric of my dress.
“More.”
“Fuck, Penny. You’re so beautiful.” He runs his hand along my left arm and entwines our fingers, bringing my hand to his mouth and kissing the diamond engagement ring. “And now you’re mine. All mine.” The gruff possessiveness in his voice has my insides turning into a pool of heat.
“God, Corey. I missed you so much. Promise you’ll never leave me again.”
Pulling me away from the wall, his hands slide down my thighs as he grips then lifts me off the floor, sitting me on the buffet along the base of the staircase. “Anywhere you go, I’ll follow. And I’ll never go anywhere without you again, I promise. I willneverleave you.”
“I love you, I love you,” I whisper, happiness filling my eyes as he moves hos mouth over my skin, his hands sliding further under my dress, between my thighs until he hits the lace panties I put on, hoping our reunion would lead us right here, reveling in each other and the intensity of our feelings. I don’t know how other people feel when they’re together, but when I’m with Corey, it’s like I was born only half a person and I need him to make me whole. It might seem like a childish fairytale, but it doesn’t change the truth of it. We were made for each other, and I feel incredibly blessed to be giving myself to him for the first time, so grateful that he’s in my life and we’ve promised ourselves to each other forever. Being with him is bliss.
“You’re so wet, Penny,” he moans, his fingers trailing lazily along my center as he presses harder and releases a thick, lust-filled breath. “I want to taste you.” He slips his fingers beneath the edge of my panties and pushes them inside me, the shudder in his breathing sounding as blissful as having him inside me feels.
“Oh, God,” I moan as his fingers work in and out, sliding out, up over my most throbbing point before sliding through my juices to push back inside.
“Take hold of the railing behind you,” he rasps, his breath on my neck, his lips pressing lightly against my skin. “I’m going to kiss you right here.” He presses his fingers against my clit and draws small circles. “And I don’t want you falling off the buffet.”
“OK,” I gasp, reaching my arms above my head and grabbing onto the wooden staircase railing. Corey grins wickedly then lowers to his knees in front of me, pulling my panties down my legs before he hooks my knees over his shoulders then leans in, the initial sweep of his tongue causing me to arch back and release a long, deep moan.
He hums like I’m more delicious than his cheesecake is, and I pull at the bars while he does wonderful things with his tongue then adds in his fingers, fucking me and sucking me while I rock my hips and try not to fall. My insides coil tighter, tighter until they explode and I’m calling out his name.
“Corrrrreeeey!” I release the banister, and my hands grip his hair as I buck against his face, completely losing my mind.
“God you taste amazing,” he murmurs as he kisses the inside of my thigh, his fingers still working inside me to bring me back down as he returns his kiss to my mouth, sharing my flavor while his tongue works in unison with his fingers. I feel like I might explode all over again.
“I need you inside me, Corey. Please.”
“Let me take you to my bed,” he whispers, his voice thick and gravely.
“No. Right here. Right now. Please,” I beg, as he drops his forehead to mine and works his hand between us, releasing himself from his jeans.
“Are you sure?”
