She stared into his eyes.
“Ask me.”
He knew what she was telling him. In that moment, he understood what she wanted.
So, he did it.
“Stay for me,” he said. “I promise if you do, I’ll make sure you’re forever safe and loved. Give me a chance, and let me be your other half. I want this life with you.”
She pulled him down, found his mouth, and kissed him like he deserved.
Yeah, she found a good one.
Gabby was pretty sure of it.
As she rolled, he felt the whole world spin, and then, he felt the most miraculous of things.
She slid him into the wetness of her body.
“Oh, fuck me,” he muttered, breaking the kiss as that nearly tore him from the edge. She was warm, tight, and so wet that his body shook.
As she was perched above Finn, she stared down at him.
“If we get pregnant, I guess you’re going to have to come to grips with it. I want a family. I want a life. I want a chance to be a wife,” she said.
He couldn’t believe he’d gotten this lucky. He was going to kiss his boss for sending him out to handle this.

“I want someone who won’t abuse me, and someone who I can trust. I don’t care about the job, Finn. I’ll stay, if you promise me that you’ll never scare or hurt me. That you’ll always save me when I need you.”
He had tears in his eyes.
“It’s all I want, Gabby. I just want my person. It’s been so lonely without you. Stay and let me make you my wife and a mother.”
Oh, she knew.
“Then, let’s see what this adventure has in store for us. Let’s wing it.”
His heart skipped.
“Okay, mo ghràdh.”
She was curious.
“I don’t know what that means, but it sounds really pretty,” she said.
He smiled.
“It means‘My Love’in Scottish,” he admitted, smiling up at her in joy.
She needed him to know.
“Do you love me?” she asked. “Because I love you,” she admitted. “You’re a very sneaky man, Detective Inspector McKnight. It seems you stole my heart. Get the handcuffs.”
