Rex didn’t speak.Not at first.Then—slowly, like a man who had just been handed the world and wasn’t quite sure what to do with it—his hands came up, cupping her face.Gently, as if she was fragile porcelain, he brushed away the single tear trailing over her cheek.He stared at her, as if he was afraid she might disappear.
“Xia,” he said in a rough, broken voice.Her chest ached at the pain in his eyes.“I spent the past four months convincing myself I was doing the right thing.”His throat worked as his eyes searched hers.“I knew I wasn’t good enough for you and that you deserved better.That you deserved a life without me in it.”His voice dropped, raw with emotion.“But the whole time, all I could think about was you.”His hands trembled, just slightly, as he pulled her closer.“But I was empty...there was a hole in my chest where my heart was supposed to be.You’re it, Xia.My heart.I missed you.God, I missed you so fucking much.”His forehead pressed against hers, his breath warm against her lips.
“I love you.”The words were simple, quiet, but devastating to her needy heart.“I love you more than I’ve ever loved anything or anyone in my life.”His voice broke.“And if you think for one second I’m letting you walk out of this building without me, you’re out of your fucking mind.”
Xia’s heart stopped.Then kicked back into gear, slamming against her ribs like it was trying to break free.She laughed, the sound of pure joy as she wrapped her arms around his neck, holding on like he was the only thing keeping her grounded.
“You absolute idiot,” she whispered.“I was never leaving.”
Rex groaned as he pulled her back onto his lap.His mouth took hers in a hot and desperate possession with his tongue sliding against hers like he was trying to brand her from the inside out.
Xia melted into him.Her body arched against his as she kissed him back with a depth of emotion that left him with no doubt that he owned her...body, heart, and soul.
When he finally pulled away, his breath was ragged, and his eyes dark with need.“Come here,” he growled as his hands slid down to her ass, lifting her effortlessly.
Xia wrapped her legs around his waist, her smile blinding.“Make me.”
Rex groaned, his cock already hard again, pressing against her.“Oh, I intend to.”His voice roughened with promise.“Just to make sure you are pregnant.”His hands tightened on her hips as his lips trailed down her neck.“And I’m going to keep your belly filled with my babies, so you’ll never run away from me.”
Xia giggled.Her head tilted to the side as he nipped at her collarbone.
“No chance of that,” she gasped.“You’re stuck with me.”Her fingers tightened around his neck as she vowed.“For now.And always.”
Rex smiled happily as he cupped her breasts.She gasped as his thumbs feathered over her nipples.
“Good,” he murmured.“Because I’m never letting you go, especially since you, my little wife whisperer, got me the Mrs.Perfect I needed in my life.”
And then he proved it.
Again.
And again.
And again.
