She pushed herself to her back, then sat up, wincing slightly at the pressure on her bottom. “Ouch. Maybe I’ve changed my mind on the spanking.”

“You haven’t,” he said, as he reached for the hem of her shirt, pulling it off in one swoop. Then with skilled fingers, he rid her of her bra.

She lay down on her back, parting her legs, loving how natural it felt when he turned toward her, caging her beneath him.

“How did we only just now find each other?” she whispered. “You were always there. Why didn’t I see you?”

He kissed her softly, the head of his cock at her opening. “I don’t know, but we’re here now.”

“I love you,” she said, her heart overflowing with the emotion.

He smiled and kissed her again. “You said it first,” he teased.

Sunnie narrowed her eyes. “And you better say it ba?—”

“I love you too. So much it hurts.”

She’d never understood that saying until now, with him. Now she got it, realized she was filled to the brim with the emotion, so full of love, she felt as if she couldn’t contain it all, as if she’d come apart at the seams.

Landon kissed her one more time, then slowly slid inside, not stopping until he was buried deep. He took her slowly at first, as they kissed, touched, stroked each other.

Then, their marathon turned to a sprint, both of them too close to go slow. His thrusts grew harder.

“God, Sunshine,” he said at last. “So close.”

She closed her eyes, throwing her head back. “Already. There!”

Sunnie came again, and Landon followed her over.

It was ecstasy. Bliss.

Sweet oblivion.

Landon fell to her side, breathing heavy. “I think you should move in with me.”

Sunnie laughed. “So much for taking it slow.”

EPILOGUE

“You and Landondidn’t have to drive me home, lass.” Pop Pop walked into his room at her parents’ house and switched on the lamp. He’d moved in with her family over a decade earlier, when Sunnie was a teenager. She’d always loved her home, loved her family, but when Pop Pop moved in, it was as if all the magic and fun was amplified. She wasn’t sure how she would have made it through high school without him there in the house.

“Oh, I know, but we were ready to leave, and you and I both know Mom and Bubbles aren’t leaving that dance floor until they’re kicked out.”

Sunnie’s cousin Caitlyn had married her Prince Charming, Lucas Whiting, tonight in a beautiful September wedding. Landon had been her date for the event. Hell, he’d been her date for everything since June.

“Well, you certainly didn’t need to leave him waiting in the living room. I don’t need to be put to bed like a toddler,” Pop Pop insisted.

“I know that. I just wanted to steal a few minutes alone to tell you something.”

Pop Pop glanced at her curiously, then sat down in his favorite chair, patting the cushion of the one next to him. Dad and Finn had built an extension onto the house, creating a father-in-law suite, so to speak, before Pop Pop moved in. It was just one big bedroom with a nice-sized seating area, complete with his own big-screen TV.

Pop Pop called it his bachelor pad, claiming he liked having somewhere to charm his lady friends. The funny part was, Pop Pop had never entertained anyone here besides the family. He’d lost his heart to Sunday a million years ago, and he’d never looked at another woman since.

“Oh,” Pop Pop said, clearly excited. “A secret?”

“Sort of, but not really. I’ll be screaming this from the rafters tomorrow. Landon and I agreed to keep it quiet until then. Today was Caitlyn’s day. And maybe Fergus’s.”

Her cousin Fergus had returned from two tours in the military, making it back to Baltimore halfway through the reception. Sunnie was thrilled he was home to stay, and he’d been delighted to hear that she and Landon were a couple.
