“No hesitation, huh?” Alice asks.

“None!” I say, smacking a kiss on her cheek. “I need to just… let myself be happy and loved. I deserve to be loved like he loves me.”

Alice nods and squeezes me once before swatting at me. “Well, you know I’ll be here for all of it.”

The popcorn pops away in the microwave, and then the microwave dings, alerting me it is done.

“Go love on your fiancé,” Alice says, managing to worm away.

I slide my hand into hers. “And you’re my maid of honor.”

“Madness of honor,” Alice corrects.

I grab her face and smother her in kisses. The microwave beeps angrily, reminding me it’s done. Alice gently pushes me away, and I pull the popcorn out of the microwave and dump it into a bowl.

When I get back upstairs, I smile at how Connor set up the room. He has fluffed the pillows and perched his laptop on his bedside table, the movie ready to play.

“Hi, gorgeous,” he says, his loose pajama pants slung low on his hips. I groan and put the bowl on his desk. I slip onto the bed and straddle him, slamming my lips to his.

Connor deepens the kiss, his tongue exploring my mouth. “Maybe orgasms first,” I moan against his lips.

“The popcorn will get cold.” Connor moans even as he cups my ass and rubs my core against his cock.

“I can rune it,” I moan breathlessly.

“Well, in that case…” Connor thrusts against me. “It would be a crime to waste such a perfect boner.” He pushes his pants down just enough to free himself, and I move my panties to the side before slamming my pussy down on him. Connor arches, digging his fingers into me, and I hiss at the burning pleasure.

“I’m going to be Summer Morningstar,” I moan, rolling my hips. “I will be Summer Morningstar.”

Connor groans and grips my hips hard, moving me up and down on him. “Fuck, I love you,”

I lift my hips and slam them down, my wet pussy stretching for him as I take him inside me over and over.

“I’m going to marry you,” Connor moans, biting my lower lip.

Connor lifts me off him and turns, laying me down on the mattress. I pull his jersey off over my head as he grabs the front of my panties and rips them off. He kicks his pants off, leaving both of us naked. He fits himself between my thighs and slams back into my welcoming heat.

“Oh, big guy. I’m going to marry the fuck out of you,” I gasp out as Connor moves his lips to my neck and bites me hard. The ache makes my core clench, and I can feel the bruise already forming. His fingers trail up my body, and he cups my breast, dragging his calloused thumb over my nipple. I shift beneath him and wrap my legs around his hips. He groans, and his thrusts turn almost brutal, the bed groaning beneath us.

Connor braces himself on one forearm and lifts my hand, bringing the engagement ring to his lips. He kisses it before interlocking our fingers and pressing our joined hands against the pillow above my head. I lift my hips, meeting his rhythm and taking him even deeper.

“I love you. I love you. I love you,” Connor says, punctuating each word with a hard thrust.

“I love you, too,” I moan, my toes curling.

“I’m going to come,” Connor hisses.

He claims my mouth again, kissing me hungrily. I cry out into his mouth, my pussy spasming around his cock. Connor deepens the kiss, muffling his shout as he spills inside me. I come a beat later, and he swallows my cries of pleasure. He slows his hips and presses his slick forehead to mine, our panting breaths mingling.

“I love you,” I whisper.

“My Summer,” he whispers back. We stay like that for a long moment, basking in each other before he moves off me. I moan when he rolls me onto my side and curls behind me, spooning my body. “Movie time,” he says, pressing a kiss to the mark he left on my neck.

I nod and wave my hand, summoning the popcorn. Of course, it has gone cold, so I slice my finger and draw a rune on the bowl. It glows faintly, and then the popcorn is once again fresh and hot.

“Let’s do this,” I say, popping a piece of popcorn into my mouth.

Connor taps the spacebar, and the movie starts. He pulls the comforter over us, and I snuggle back into him. I pick up a piece of popcorn and hold it to his lips.
