“I think that’s a great idea.”I smile against his lips, before he kisses me thoroughly, like he hasn’t seen me for months.
“Ew.Please!”Kevin says, and we pull apart, seeing Kevin holding his hand over his eyes and his other hand over Noah’s, my two boys standing right there next to us.
“Ahhh… Wait till you fall in love, Kevin.You’ll want to kiss your girl every chance you get,” Sawyer says easily, and I still.Love?Did he just say love?

Sawyer
“Ican’t believe Van Cleef came through.”Her voice is awed as she repeats the same thing she has all night.It makes me smile.
The paperwork is now all signed, and she and Victoria now have some serious planning to do.When this is all over, I’ll take them out to celebrate properly.
“I knew it would.”I’m grinning as we move around her room.The boys are fast asleep, the locks and windows checked and cross-checked three times over.
“Thank you, Sawyer.My life has changed so much since you walked into it.”She steps toward me slowly, in nothing but the cute tank and shorts sleep set she wears that gives me just a little hint of the cheek of her ass, which teases me to no end.
“Not for the better, really.”My thoughts go right to who’s out there in the dead of night, probably watching, most certainly waiting.
She shakes her head as she looks at me with soft eyes.“If it wasn’t for you, my boys would have a very limited future, and now they have a choice.Focus on the positives and what we know for certain.”
“If it wasn’t for you, I would still be working day and night just to scrape up enough money to put dinner on the table,” she continues, and I grind my teeth.
“If it wasn’t for you…”
I cut her off.“You wouldn’t have a psycho murderer canvassing your home.”
“If it wasn’t for you…” She steps into me, my hands automatically wrapping around her waist as her chest brushes against mine.She raises her hands, placing one on either side of my face, eyes looking into mine.
“I wouldn’t know what true love feels like,” she says sweetly, making my breath catch in my chest.
I look down at her in awe.After everything that’s coming at us, me in two places, her working her ass off, me bringing danger to her life, she loves me?
“You love me?”I frown, wondering how, and she grins like she knows a secret I don’t.
“I think I fell in love with you when I saw you sitting in that cow manure the first time I met you.”She giggles, the sound soothing and whirling around my body rapidly.
I huff a laugh, rubbing my hand up and down her back.“Not my finest hour…”
“But your rawest one.”The look she’s giving is one a man like me has wished for time after time and started to believe would never happen.
“I fell in love with you the moment I saw you standing there with your garden hoe, ready to use it.”I grin, the memory in full color in my mind.
“Hmmm, I thought about it.Wasn’t sure who you were or what you wanted.”
“Well, I can tell you that I’m a man who was lost for years, and when I saw you, I felt like I was found.I was a man who worked long, hard days, was married to my work, who after Mandy, never thought that I deserved a woman, especially not one like you.But I’m now a man who’s found the one thing I’ve been missing, the one thing that’s going to make me whole.That’s you.You’re the most amazing woman I’ve ever met, and I don’t care if I need to leave the city and live on this farm for eternity.I’ll do it, just so I can be with you.”
“Make love to me, Sawyer…” Her eyes search mine, waiting for any hesitation, and there isn’t any.I lean over, rubbing my nose on hers before my mouth claims her lips, and I’m lost in the woman who I know will become my wife.
As I peel her sleepwear from her frame, I take my time, wanting to show her what she means to me and wanting to ingrain it in my mind.
Her hands land on my chest as she slowly undoes my shirt buttons, and I open my jeans, then kick off my shoes as she puts her hands behind her to release her bra.
“No, let me…” I stand before her in nothing but my underwear.I’m hard already, and her eyes lower, taking in my bulge.When she swallows, my smirk is instant, and I glide my hands around her back to open her bra delicately.Slowly pulling the straps down her arms, our breathing grows heavy, the only noise in the room.
She grabs the waistband of my tight white boxers and pushes them down as I finger her underwear, doing the same until we stand in front of each other completely naked.
“My God, you are beautiful.”My chest tightens as her cheeks flush.I notice she seems to take in my compliments now, like they hit her differently, my words building her up instead of ricocheting off like they used to.I run my hands over her soft body, before I smooth them down her back and cup her under her thighs, lifting her to me.
