the covers. “You win, my darlin’. You win.”
“Oh, goody. I love to win,” she whispered, and suddenly Ren laughed. He laughed so hard his belly tightened. Sadie stared at him like he was a crazy man, but it didn’t matter. Joy climbed up from his gut and burst out like some goofy song, and soon she was giggling, rolling around in the messed-up bed like a little girl who’d just gotten the best, most bad assed surprise of her life.
Still grinning, Ren stripped off his clothes and looked down at her. She finally composed herself to beam a soft, watery smile at him. “I love you, Ren. I love you so much I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.”
All humor faded into something warm and cozy that curled tenderly around his heart. He’d always thought it was only women who craved that whole happy-ever-after thing, but Ren was fast learning that men wanted it, too.
Okay. He’d take it. He’d take her.
Naked, he crawled into the bed beside her, wrapped her up and pulled her in. “I’ve always loved you even when I was that confused kid back in Oklahoma. I’d thought those feeling would fade over time, but it never happened.” He kissed her softly then stared straight into her eyes. “I can’t tell you how many nights I spent tucked in some cave in the desert with you uppermost in my mind. Sometimes, I think it’s the only thing that kept me sane. There is no one on the planet who means more to me than you, Sadie Ballew. You had my heart then and you have it now.”
“Hooyah.”
Ren rolled over her, kissed her again, and his breath sped as need for her, the chance to show her his love not only in word but in deed roared through his body. His erection tightened against her soft belly, and hot to give in to the sensation, Ren rubbed his cock against her pussy, loving how damp she was, how ready. Lust crawled over his flesh as he broke the kiss to trail his tongue over her throat and lower to finally take a puckered nipple into his mouth to suck.
He had plenty of ideas as to sexual positions, but missionary suited him mighty fine right now. Sadie wouldn’t have it. She pushed at his shoulders, prodded him to slide off her, and before he could question her actions, she sat astride him. Her smile was brilliant, sexy, and she leaned down to brush biting little kisses over his cheeks, his forehead, his nose and chin.
“Let me,” she whispered against his lips. “You can go all take-charge-SEAL later. Okay?”
“You’re the boss.”
“No truer words, Ren. No truer words.” Sadie pressed her lush curves against his body, teasing him to the point of madness as she kissed her way over his chest and abs. “Strong. I love how strong you are.”
She filled her hand with his cock, and yes, yes. Hot damn, she knew how to touch him. Manipulating his dick, brushing her thumb over the head, Sadie moved lower to take him in her warm, wet mouth. The sucking action, the long licks with her tongue almost carried him over the edge. Playful fingers found his tightly-drawn balls.
“Sadie.”
She released his raging-hard cock with a soft pop of sound and gazed up the length of his body. “Condom. Now. Do your patriotic duty.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Ren reached out to snatch up a rubber, ripped the package, and handed her the protection. Once he was covered, she moved to straddle him. Oh, hell no. Not this time. It wasn’t every day that a man told the woman of his dreams that he loved her. The sex was going down his way. “Uh-uh, sweetheart,” he said before rolling her from his body and positioning himself between her thighs. “Hang on for the ride.”
Taking his erection in hand, he dragged the heavy head of his cock over the drenched flesh of her pussy. He thumbed her clit, rubbing, circling, and within seconds, Sadie began to thrash beneath him. Slowly, he entered her damp, wet heat, loving the way her body clenched around him. Seated to the hilt, need running wild in his blood, he paused to look at
