"I don't deserve you, Aubrey. I don't." I shake my head as she tries to protest. "But I promise I’ll spend a lifetime trying to be everything you need and more," I vow.
I gaze into her eyes as my words of devotion send her over the precipice, and her beautiful face crumples into ecstasy.
I thrust into her erratically, desperately trying to follow her over the edge—not that I need to try because the second she releases, her pussy clamps down on my cock and I roar out my climax, unloading my seed into her warm, willing body. She gasps, her body milking me as we roll our hips in rhythm and ride out the waves of pleasure.
"Oh, God." Aubrey sucks in air as we try to catch our breath. "That... was... amazing."
"Youare amazing," I murmur, cupping her face as she smiles up at me. "And I meant everything I said, cupcake. I want you forever."
Chapter eight
Aubrey
The next morning, I squint into the early dawn light, realizing we never closed the blinds before falling asleep to the rumble of the storm last night. At some point, Max pulled the quilt over us, but this is the soundest sleep I've ever had in my life. It's rare for me to sleep past four in the morning these days because my body clock is so well-trained to get up and bake.
"What time is it?" Max's deep voice rumbles behind me.
I grin into my pillow, loving that he's in my bed.
I lift my arm so he can read the time on my watch. "Barely six," I murmur.
Stretching my arms above my head, I moan contentedly as my whole body sinks back into the pillows. Max curls his arm around me and pulls me closer, his eyes still closed.
I study his face, reaching out to cup his cheek.
"Max," I whisper, biting my lip. "Do you—Are you still glad you're here?"
His eyes open, and he smiles at me. "I'm with the woman I love. I don't want to be anywhere else."
My heart soars, and I try to hide my smile.
Max shakes his head. "Did you honestly think I would say no?"
"You could change your mind," I admit, stating my worries out loud.
This man has owned my heart and soul for over a year. That he's admitting the same is a fantasy come true. But I'd still like to leave the room with some dignity if he wakes up from whatever spell he's under.
"Never. You're mine forever." He pulls me even closer. "If you'll have me."
"I'll allow it," I say with feigned nonchalance.
Max's body shakes with laughter as I bury my face against his chest. His fingers gently stroke my arm, and I remember everything we did last night.
Three times.
The man is a genius with his fingers.
And his mouth.
And his massive cock.
"Candy mentioned you want to get a pet." His voice breaks into my horny replay.
I lift my head to look at him.
"Would you want one soon?"
I laugh, trying to figure out where he's going with this question. "When did she tell you that?"
