She wriggled in my arms so she was laying on her back and tilted her head to kiss me, then she stretched her arms up over her head and smiled.

Damn, I loved her in that position. She look

ed so fucking sexy. Groaning a sound of appreciation, I slipped a leg between hers, moving one hand up to grip her wrists while I stroked the other one down her side.

“I forgot to tell you,” I murmured while I tasted her collarbone. “Adam and Kara are having their engagement party tonight.”

“Oh, okay,” she said, sounding a little unsure.

“You’re coming with me,” I said, not leaving it open for negotiation.

She smiled dreamily, making me feel like I’d just won the national lottery.

Trailing my free hand down between her legs, I let my fingers explore her entrance, sighing when I found her already wet. Sliding a finger inside her, I skimmed my lips up the column of her neck. “You’re always so ready for me.”

She sucked in a shaky breath. “That’s because I always want you…”

I groaned. Even her damned voice was sexy. But this wasn’t about me. It was about her. About me showing her just how much she meant to me.

Sliding my fingers out of her wet heat, I shifted over her and settled between her legs. I felt a shiver go through her body and she wriggled, tilting her pelvis so my cock was at her opening. I knew she was eager. I could feel her body trembling with the need to get to her climax, but I needed her to see she was more than just a means to an end.

Slowly, I eased inside of her. I still had one hand gripped around her wrists, because I wanted to show her that being restrained didn’t have to be about fast and furious. I wanted her to see that it could be sensual. And loving.

With our gazes locked, I continued to move, making sure each slide in and out was a long, pleasure building tease.

Her breaths became heavy and labored, and she pushed her hips against mine, matching my rhythm with long, slow strokes. I could feel the pressure building inside her, feel her climbing to those crazy heights we seemed to always take each other, and I watched it all with rapt amazement.

She affected me in so many ways. Made me feel so many things. My breath grew heavy with it, but I was still in control. Still focused on being what she needed me to be.

“I love you, Kaeli,” I whispered, making sure that if she wanted to see it, the truth was right there. In my eyes.

I saw the exact moment she realized it, and in the next heartbeat, her eyelids fluttered and her body shattered around me as she whimpered against my cheek. Releasing her hands, I pulled her into me and held her so tight she’d have no doubt in her mind that I would always be there to put her back together again. Forever.

Chapter 69

Kaeli

Stepping into the Murphy’s backyard was like stepping into another world. It was magical.

Their yard was huge, and by huge I meant freaking massive. It had everything a backyard should. Glorious overhanging trees. Winding paths, stone steps, wooden bridges over ponds, little running creeks, manicured lawns. You name it, it was there.

And the Murphy’s had decorated it all.

It honestly looked like the most romantic movie set ever. There were twinkling fairy lights strung in the trees, paper lanterns lining the paths and steps, candles in glass jars hanging on wires over the pond, sheer white curtains dancing in the breeze, and clusters of white, pink and silver balloons. It was just beautiful.

I was a little shocked that they went to this much trouble just for an engagement party. I would’ve been more than happy with it for my entire wedding day.

I paused as I took it all in, causing Noah to stop beside me. Turning to me with enquiring eyes, he stepped a little closer.

“God, it’s so beautiful,” I said reverently.

His gaze darkened as he watched me. “We Murphy’s don’t do anything by halves.”

I watched his gaze run down the length of my body, immediately understanding what he meant. It took me two attempts to get ready to go out that night. The first time I came out, all ready to go, Noah ripped my panties off that quickly, my head spun. Then he’d pulled me down on top of him as he sat on the sofa and I rode him like I was possessed. It was some of the most exhilarating sex I’d ever had.

The second time I’d come out after cleaning myself up, his eyes had darkened again, and I had to drag him out the door before he could make us any later than we already were.

So as he let his gaze wander down over my new dress, I knew exactly what he was thinking. I’d have to text Mia later and thank her for her wisdom on the choice of dress.
