The Billionaire (The Portland Protectors-EHM Security #3; The Package Deal World)

by Emerson Beckett

When I pulled myself from the pool to dry off, it suddenly occurred to me I might need to do some maintenance work. While I was generously endowed, I was equally sure his dick was perfect. Neatly trimmed and... young. Did I have gray pubic hair?

I don’t know how long I sat there sobbing before I felt his hands on me. Greer hugged me from behind. He sat down and positioned me between his spread legs. His strong arms held me tightly as he pressed his face into my neck. The warmth of his tears on my skin and the gentle sobs coming from him had me holding on for dear life as we cried together on the beach. “I’m so sorry, baby. I’m so sorry,” he murmured, over and over again. “I’ve hurt so many people, and I’m so sorry. Please forgive me. I’ll do whatever it takes to win your trust again.”

I pressed my forehead to his. “I love you, Austin Wentworth. You are my world.”

“Letting you go was the biggest mistake of my life, and it’s over. It’s finally over.” Pressing my body to his was not close enough. I needed more. “What’s over?” Swallowing back the tears, I whispered, “The agony of losing you. From walking away from the love of my life.” Austin pulled back while I held on to him and took my face in his hands. His thumbs brushed away the moisture from my eyes. “Let it go, sweetheart. Our past has made this moment even sweeter. Just let me love you for the rest of our lives.”

Austin Wentworth was my husband, my ride-or-die, the love of my life, the one who saved me from a life filled with loneliness. The one who made me whole and happier than I’d ever been.
