“Jazz! This is amazing, Liam.” She claps her hands, beaming at me.
Fuck. I can feel my face heat up. I avert my gaze to the duck in the lake. Sophie worms her way onto my lap and kisses my cheek.
“I love you, Liam, so much. I didn’t know what love was until I met you.”
I’m flushed with emotions, though I hesitate to ask. After all, she had been with him for an extended period of time. She must have cared for him deeply.
“What about your ex?”
“It wasn’t love. I was never in love with him. And this…what you did for me, a picnic, the food, music. It means so much to me. No one has ever done anything like this for me. You are something special, Detective. Since the day I met you at the studio, I knew you were the one.”
I press my lips against hers hungrily. I can never get enough of her. I always want more. This woman makes me addicted and obsessed. Our tongues intertwine as I hold her close, and soon we’re both breathing deeply. When I finally pull away, we gasp for air.
“Say it again?” I plead. “Tell me you love me.”
“I love you, Liam.”
I’ll never grow tired of hearing her say those words. I never thought I would be capable of loving.
“I love you, Sophie, so much. I can’t function without you. I felt the same way. I knew you were the one when you came out of your office. No woman has made me feel like you did that day. I fell in love with you the night I pinned you in the restroom and kissed you. It took me a while to sort it all out. I’ll never let you go.” I kiss her cheek, her nose, her lips.
I’ll never let her go. Many say you only find love once in a lifetime. I believe it. She is the woman I’m destined to be with. My forever.

After our lunch,I meant what I said about skinny dipping. I’ve never done it, and I want all my firsts with her, with us, exploring all our firsts together. I slip off her beautiful dress.
“Liam, what are you doing?” She’s left in her underwear and strapless bra. She looks around, panicked.
“You forgot, didn’t you? We are going skinny dipping.” Turning her around, I unclasp her bra and brush my thumb across her peaked nipples.
“I didn’t take you seriously,” Sophie says with a moan as my tongue sweeps her nipple. Bending down, I peel off her underwear. Running my hands along her thighs, I work my way up until I’m face-to-face with her.
“You’re absolutely beautiful, Sophie, perfect, just the way you are.”
She gives me a kiss and then laughs and retorts. “Thank you, Liam. You’re the sweetest, but can you undress now?”
I chuckle. “So eager to see me naked, mi bella?” I give her a cheeky grin and begin to undress.
“Yes, of course, and I don’t want to stand here naked in case someone shows up.”
I unbutton my shorts and slide them down with my boxers. “If anyone so much looks at my girl naked, they must have a death wish.”
Running my thumb along her nipples, I suck on one, then the other. My hands roam her soft, creamy body, caressing through all her perfect curves and drawl out, “Your body is only for my eyes, Sophie. No man deserves to see your beauty. I’m not saying I deserve you, because I don’t. But you deserve to be treated right. I’ll do everything in my power to be the man who deserves you.”
I lift her up, and she then wraps her legs around my waist.
“Oh, Liam,” she breathes into my lips.
As we kiss, we make our way toward the chilly lake. Another first for me. With Sophie, I find myself exploring all kinds of new sensations. Without breaking away from her kiss, I slide into her. She feels so tight and absolutely amazing. With my hands gripping her thighs, I rock her back and forth harder and faster. Our bodies are so heated by one another that we can’t feel the cold water.
The tension in my balls heightens as I press into her with more force, our lips clashing together in a mix of need and fervor.
“Sophie,” I moan as I grab her ass, pushing deeper into her until my body shakes with my release. She throws her head back and screams my name as she comes. It’s the most beautiful sight.
We spend the rest of the evening lying on the blanket, making love. I still can’t believe this woman has fallen in love with me.
For once in my life, the weight I carried for years is now gone. A part of me feels like my dad sent Sophie my way. He knew she was the perfect woman for me. She gave me love, happiness, and life.I’ll forever be grateful for the woman who stole my heart.I’d recklessly fall in love with her over and over again.
