"I promise, this is your decision, but I want to feel close to you again. Will you allow that?"

I know what he means by wanting to feel close to me. He's sick of denying this attraction we have, and frankly, so am I. I nod, before reaching for him. With a groan, he drags me across the center console and at that moment, I know that it's time to give up not reacting to him. It's time to give in and take everything I've ever wanted.

Once he has me over the console and straddling his hips, he digs his hand into my hair, palming the back of my head. He pulls me closer to him, until our lips are almost touching. "What is it, Daisy Mae? You gonna allow it? I need to hear it."

Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t tell him no. He owns me: heart, body, and soul. "Yes," I whisper, licking my suddenly dry lips. "Take what you want, what you need. I guarantee I want and need it, too."

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Jasper

Those words out of her mouth are the most beautiful ones I've ever heard. With a groan, I lean forward and steal those lips, like a fucking thief in the night. I crush her mouth to mine. There's no need to coax them open, because she's meeting me exactly where I am. My other arm bands around her waist, holding her tightly, never wanting to let her go.

Closing my eyes, I dive into the sensation, allowing myself for the first time since we broke up to feel all these emotions. Her fingernails are digging into my shoulders, holding on tightly as she rocks her hips against mine. My fingers inch up along the edge of her t-shirt, trailing along the warmth of her skin. She shivers as I pull away, burying my face in her neck, trying to devour her taste and inhale her scent as deeply into my lungs as I can get it.

"Jasper..." She breathes, as she tilts her head back to give me better access.

My heart is breaking wide open inside my chest at the way the tension is dissipating. When I look over at her, I know my entire life is about to change.

Daisy

His eyes darken to the color of bourbon, and then he's up on his feet, too. Arms are around my body, hands at my ass, tilting and lifting into his arms. My legs tighten at his waist, and he walks us to the bedroom as he takes my mouth in his. This is a homecoming, one I never thought I would have again after we broke up. This is what I've wanted since the last time we were together.

He drops me onto the bed. "I've fuckin' missed you." His eyes are barely visible in the soft light from the hallway. "I never slept with anyone else after you. I couldn't bring myself to do it. You imprinted yourself onto me and I couldn't bear to give that same piece of me to anyone else."

"I couldn't, either." I wind my arms around his neck, pulling his lips down to mine. Before he takes them, I look into his eyes. "Consummate this marriage, Jasper. Make me your wife."

A growl erupts from his throat, and he seems to go completely feral as he takes my lips in a domination that I've never felt from him before. His hands go around my wrists, putting them up over my head as his cock grinds into my core. His mouth trails down my chin, and throat, before nipping slightly at my shoulder. "Do you need me to use protection?" His voice is a grumble, garbled with passion.

"No." I shake my head, digging my nails into his back. "Let’s enjoy practicing, huh?"

He groans again, this time sliding his cock through the moisture in between my legs. "The first time might be quick, wife."

God, him calling me his wife does crazy things to me. "Just do it, Jasper. My vibrator has been a poor substitute for the real thing the past few years.

Reaching down, he holds his cock, sliding it into my body. We moan together, sliding in a rhythm that we'd known so well back in the day. He presses his knees into the mattress, getting purchase as he rocks into me. When he pushes one of my thighs up, he puts a thumb at my clit, worrying the nub.

The two of us have never been good at holding off pleasure with one another. It never took him long to get me there, and vice versa. So when I feel his cock growing bigger inside me, I throw my head back, giving myself up to the craziness of what we're doing.

"I can't hold it back...I'm gonna come," he warns, right as his cock jumps inside me, pulsing his release.

I'm right behind him, and as we slowly grind against one another, I know I've lost my heart again.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Daisy

Jasper has officially ruined me for any other man. Good thing, since he's my husband for life.

"Are you okay?" he asks quietly as we lie next to each other.

"Yeah, I think it's just hitting me." I try to put into words how heavy these last few hours between us have been. "I've never had unprotected sex before, and it's never been for the express purpose of having a baby." My throat tightens as I say the words. "Not that I didn't want to do it, just because." I smile over at him brightly. "I always want to be with you..."

"No." He props himself up on his elbow. "I get it. We got married for a reason, and one of those reasons is to have an heir for the Hamilton legacy. But it doesn’t take away from what we’ve just done.” His finger trails down my chest, hooking in the sheet covering my nakedness. "In fact, I plan to enjoy doing this with you all the damn time, for no other reason than I want to be with you."

My heart soars. "I'm not against that at all."

His phone buzzes over on the nightstand. Moaning, he reaches over, palming it, and takes a look. "Do you want to go to Boone's for family dinner on Sunday? It's them wondering if we're going to be there."
