Page 47 of Saving Cade
Cade pulled her to him, the kiss unable to keep up with her need to fill her life with Cade. She missed the way one side of his mouth quirked up when he smiled. She missed his kind nature and the way he did things for her out of the blue. She missed the conversations they had and the way she felt when he was near her.
He pulled back and put his forehead on hers. “I’m so sorry, Meg. I should have talked to you. I was being stupid.”
“Yes, you were.”
He chuckled and kissed her nose. “What can I do to make it up to you?”
“Tell me you love me.”
His expression grew serious, and he stroked her cheek with the back of his knuckles. “I love you, Meg.”
His words sent a jolt of electricity through her. It warmed her, and she snuggled into his chest. “I love you too, Cade.”
“Thank you for saving me.”
She pulled back in surprise. “What do you mean?”
Cade played with a strand of her hair. “You don’t know? You have a habit of saving me. On the night we met, and when Zane had a gun to my head. And now. You’ve saved me from a life without you.”
He lifted her chin with the crook of his finger and kissed her. Meg melted into him.
Epilogue
Meg tugged on the blindfold, her curiosity overwhelming her. “Can I take it off now?”
Cade chuckled. “Not yet. But soon.”
“Holy cow, Cade, you’re driving me insane. First, a private jet. Now a long drive without being able to see anything. Where the heck are you taking me?”
“Somewhere special. It is our one-year anniversary, after all.”
Meg warmed at the words. They’d been married one year. It almost was too good to be true. Cade had swept her off her feet with a whirlwind courtship and engagement. And their first year of marriage had been bliss. “You know, I keep telling you, I don’t need anything but you.”
His low chuckle came again. “I know. But I think you’ll like this present.”
“You know I have everything I’ve ever wanted. A great husband. A wonderful career.”
