Don’t fake it to keep it.
“Committed to being precise will leave you tripping over your toes if you don’t dip them in first.”
Just make sure it’s the right decision for the right reason.”
Chivalry is dead and someone needs to bring it back.
“Sparks. Attraction. Sexual tension. It’s a perfect equation that will make any heart go flippity flop,”
“Odd place to do it, but I wanted to check on the baby hamsters. I’ve grown close to the little fellows.” I’m doing my best to loosen the mood. She shakes her head. “You’re seriously never going to let me live that down?”
“Underneath all this, I’m just me and you see exactly who I am. You looked past the idiot with a lot of money who can promise you a brilliant future. You didn’t see the guy with the horrible reputation slathered throughout the city. You saw through it. And you reminded me what if felt like not to be broken.”
“Despite everything—your wildest insecurities to your shyness, you are my perfect. Your sweet outweighs your shy. Your strength outweighs your fears. Your honesty surpasses your insecurities. You straighten me when I’m off balance. You ignite me in so many damn ways.”
“You’re not out for my stock. And for someone to want to work for everything and not have it given to them…it’s beautiful. You not wanting people to think you’ve screwed your way to the top only proves your self-respect. Your dignity and pride…Zoey, you’re fucking captivating in more ways than you’ll ever see.”
“You’re worried you’re not good enough for me, but in fact, I’ve never felt like I was good enough for you. I’m broken with a hard shell, petrified to feel the hurt loving someone can bring. But if you could only see yourself from my eyes, you’d know you don’t have a damn thing to worry about. I’m madly in love with you and I don’t want to be without you. I need you.”
I kiss her hard, jerking her body against mine and embracing her tightly. “Zoey…” I pant, pulling away to look her in the eyes. “You’re not going to be my little secret anymore. Either I’m firing you right now, or you’re going to get over this boss thing.”
I drop a kiss on her cheek and offer a charming, innocent smile. “I’m going to lie to you and tell you I made dinner. Don’t believe me, okay?”
I pour her a glass of wine. I specifically picked red wine because it makes her blush and her blushing makes me horny and me being horny makes me have the woman I love moan my name.
“Yeah, no man will complain about having the longest.” I laugh at how cheesy that sounded and so does she. It’s helping to shake off the nerves of asking the very question that’s been on my mind for weeks.
I’m hurtling into uncertain territory here. I’ve never uttered these words, much less thought about it. “I want you to move in,” I blurt. So much for asking.
She moves to my lap and straddles me, lowering her lips and grazing my cheek. She slides her hands over my chest and moves her mouth beside my ear. Oh yeah. She’s out of her shy bit. “I want you…” Her sultry lips skim the shell of my ear. “Cooking.” Breathless pant. “Naked…” Soft moan. “For a week…” Another breath. Desire tightens my nuts. “If it guarantees your pussy wrapped around my dick, I’ll cook for the rest of our lives naked.”
She’s my one and I’m holding on to her tightly, never letting her go. Our journey will be exciting, and at times, difficult, but we’ll be hiking it together.
You can’t grow without challenges. We’re conquering ours.
