My heart thumps to a stop at his last words. All I want is you.

“I see you walking around this cabin,” he says, holding up a sketch of the kitchen. “With my baby in your belly, cooking meals with me.” He picks up another sketch of the backyard. “I see you and me on this porch swing, rocking our toddler to sleep while Wolf helps to protect us all.”

“Wolf?” I whisper.

“Our dog. Okay, we can work on the name.”

Our dog.

“I love the name.”

He smiles. “And here,” he says, lifting the half-burnt page, “I see you in this walk-in shower, getting pounded by my cock under the rainfall shower head. And here on this bed, I see me breeding you with all of our children.”

Heat floods my core at his words and as if sensing it, he puts the sketch down and cups my drenched sex again.

This whole time...Levi wanted me to? This whole time I hadn’t been overanalyzing his affections as something more?

“Say you want that too, angel. Tell me you’ve been waiting for me to finally man up and say it and that I haven’t misread things.”

My head falls against his chest, my toes curling at his touch.

“Tell me you want me, too.”

I can’t think. I can’t talk with his ministrations.

“Tell me.”

“Can’t you feel it?” I gasp when he pinches my clit over the fabric.

“I need to hear you say it,” he says, a devilish smile cracking his lips as he lifts his glistening fingers to his mouth and sucks on them.

I’m mesmerized by the sight of his full lips wrapping around each slippery digit.

“I’m patient. I can wait,” he says in between sucks. “But I don’t think you can.”

He’s freaking right. I’m ready to feel him for real, sin panties.

“You’re the only man I’ve ever wanted, Li,” I whisper. “The only man I want to marry. The only man I want to make love to. The only man whose children I’ll carry—”

His mouth crashes against mine, pulling on my bottom lip and sucking it gently. He tastes like whiskey and pure hunger as our tongues tangle together. Had he taken a shot before coming to me?

My heart thunders faster, my admiration for his boldness blooming. If Levi never confessed, would I ever have had the guts to?

I’m glad he took the reins. Then again, when has he ever not handled a situation? From the lodge’s finances, to stopping me from making a massive mistake with the property, to confessing his feelings for me.

Levi was always in control and I want to be under his command.

When we finally pull apart and I get some air from the massive hole above us however, another reality sinks in. “But our parents.”

“Will have to understand, because I’m not letting you go, angel. Once you say you’re mine, you’re mine. Now and forever, ‘til death do us part and even then.”

“But—”

He shakes his head. “It’s just me and you. Say you’re mine and the rest we’ll worry about later. Together.”

“I’m yours Li. From the moment I saw you, I was yours. I love you.”

A growl emits from his throat as he gets to his feet and I wrap myself around him like a koala bear, my mouth glued to his.
