"If you need time to decide, just tell me. Just know that I’ll always support your career. I will understand that it’s important to you and there will be times when you have work late?—"
I pressed my fingers over his lips. “You have to be quiet, Duncan, so I can give you my answer."
He kissed my fingers.
"The answer is yes. I will marry you, and I will adopt Aiden with you, and we will have this baby, and we will be a family together."
"I don't think I've ever been happier in my whole life." He slipped the ring onto my finger. “I hope you like it. I figured a warrior angel needed something heavenly, but also not too ostentatious for work.”
The oval shaped diamond sat in a white gold ring. It was simple and elegant. It was perfect. “I love it. And I love you, Duncan.” Part of me didn't feel deserving of his love and admiration, but I vowed that I would do everything I could to earn it from now on.
He pulled me in and our lips touched. The kiss was soft, thorough, and loving. But soon, his hands began to roam, seeking something more.
"I'm not sure we’re ready for that yet,” I said.
“Speak for yourself.” His hand covered my breast.
I moaned even as I tried to resist what his touch could do to me. “You're not fully recovered."
"You know the best way to get stronger is to work out, right?" His kisses trailed along my jaw, making it hard for me to concentrate.
"That's true in theory. But you need to be up to it."
"You don't think I'm up to it?"
His thick, hard dick pressed against my backside. He was definitely up for it.
"You know what I mean."
"I need to have an orgasm one way or another, Veronica. I would much prefer it if you gave it to me. But if I have to take matters into my hand…"
I shook my head and laughed. "You're a horny old man."
He flashed me that sexy grin. "I love it when you talk dirty to me."
“Let’s go upstairs and you can fuck me.”
“Music to my ears.” We rose from the couch, leaving our tea untouched. Duncan took my hand, and we walked upstairs to his room… our room. We undressed, and then Duncan laid me back on the bed, covering my body with his.
“Do you know how fucking sexy you are, Agent Marsden?”
“That’s almost Agent Ashworth.”
His smile was a million watts. “Agent Ashworth.” He leaned down and kissed me. It was loaded with love and awe and emotion that nearly brought tears to my eyes.
I pushed him back, straddling his thighs. “You need to let me do the work here so you don’t overdo it.”
“If you insist.”
“Oh, I insist.” I wrapped my hand around his dick and squeezed, forcing a groan from him.
Using my eyes and hands, I took him in. The beauty of his eyes and smile. The strong lines of his face, his chest. The smoothness of his skin. His heart, beating for me. How had I nearly missed the amazing love this man had to give me? Knowing that I could have missed out on this would help me remember to appreciate him. To always let him know I loved him.
“If you don’t fuck me soon, Veronica, I’m going to have to take control.”
“You’re so impatient.”
“You drive me mad.”
