“Damn, Kat. I can never get enough of you,” he whispers against the softness of my neck, and I know by how his breathing has increased that he’s getting close, but so am I.
“Yes, baby,” I encourage, wanting him to break me before the orgasm puts me back together again. And then it happens, taking over my body and thoughts as I’m pushed over the edge again. Braxton moans as I buckle beneath him, both of us finding what we’re looking for—each other.
I try to catch my breath, my heart fluttering when I look over at the man I’m going to marry. After cleaning up, we lie on the bed, and he pulls me into his arms. My body molds so perfectly against his, and I let out satisfied sigh.
“That was just the warm-up round, sweetheart,” he warns, his voice a taunting promise. “But I’m gonna make you lunch first because I know you haven’t eaten all day.”
I grin. “You know me too well.”
“Why do you think I put a ring on it?” he teases before leaning over and capturing my mouth again. Braxton grips my chin, tilting my head so we’re staring directly into each other’s eyes. “Thank you for making me the happiest man today. I promise to spend the rest of my life making you the happiest woman.” His gaze roams over my naked body. The way he looks at me makes me feel like the most beautiful person in the world.
I prop myself up on my elbow and brush my lips against his, hoping he can feel all of the love I have for him pouring out of me. I’ve never felt this way about another person before, and I’ll be damned if I ever let him go. I might’ve made him the happiest man, but it doesn’t compare to how he’s made me feel.
“And just think, this is just the beginning,” I tell him.
Chapter Fourteen
Braxton
SIX MONTHS LATER
Alex asked me to help him load a few tractors on a trailer this morning before I head to the airport with Kat. Of course, I agreed since we’re leaving soon and will be in Alabama for the rest of the week to visit my parents. It’s important for her to meet everyone in person now that we’re engaged to be married. Sharing pictures and talking in FaceTime isn’t enough, considering she’s going to be a part of the family.
After I finish, I drive home and quietly enter the house as Kat stands at the counter, drinking a glass of milk. She’s in her head, not paying attention as she looks out the kitchen window.
I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist, surprising her.
“You’re home already!” She turns around and pulls me close. “I wasn’t expectin’ you for at least an hour.”
“I hurried so we could get on the road sooner.” I paint my lips softly against hers.
“You keep doin’ that, cowboy, and we’re not gonna make it to San Antonio on time.”
I moan against her lips with a devilish chuckle. “Well, since I’m early, we’ve got some time.”
She lifts her eyebrows, and it doesn’t take long before we’re stumbling to the couch and dropping our clothes along the way. By the time we make it there, we’re completely naked.
Kat greedily pushes me down. I grab her hips when she straddles my lap and guide myself inside her. When our bodies connect, she releases a deep, satisfied moan. She takes full control, rocking her hips against me. I lean up, so our mouths meet and run my fingers through her hair, pulling her closer. “Fuck, you’re so wet. Feelin’ so goddamn good.”
“Mmm.” Kat hums against my mouth. “I love you,” she whispers and picks up the pace. “Now give it to me harder.”
“I love you too, baby.” I palm her ass cheeks and give her long, deep thrusts, knowing it’s exactly what she loves. Her head rolls back on her shoulders as I take one of her perky nipples into my mouth while pinching the other. She doesn’t slow her rhythm, and I don’t know how much longer I’ll last. Her orgasm builds quickly, and when I rub her clit, it doesn’t take long before we’re losing ourselves together. I can never get enough of her and know that’ll never change.
We quickly clean up, and when I look over at Kat, I smile at how breathtaking she looks. I don’t know what I did in life to deserve such a sweet, caring woman, but she’s everything I’ve ever wanted. Though she calls me out on my shit often, Kat is my biggest supporter and quickly became my best friend. I can’t imagine life without her.
Even though I want to hold her soft body against mine all morning, I know we have to get going. As if she reads my mind, she kisses me one last time before standing to get dressed. I put on some clean clothes and take our suitcases to the truck. She follows me with a box full of pastries that need to be dropped off at the B&B before we leave. Before I lock up, I glance over my shoulder. “You got everything?”
