blaming yourself for this, and I won’t blame myself, either.” She ran her fingers through his hair. “We’re still here, Bubby, you and me. We’ll always be stronger than those who try to hurt us,” she whispered.
    Nathan stared at her, unable to speak. He felt like he was going to burst. It couldn’t be possible to love a person as much as he loved Carter. It hurt to love someone so much, but it was the type of hurt that Nathan wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. He had no idea what he had done in this life or a past one to deserve a woman like Carter, but he would never question it. Because he would go back and do it all again just to get right back here, right back to this moment when he knew without a shadow of a doubt that Carter was the love of his life. This woman was everything to him. She was his beating heart and the air he breathed. And right about now, he could only think of one thing to say to her—
    “Marry me.”
    “Yes,” Carter whispered without hesitation.
    He pressed his forehead against hers. “I don’t want to wait,” he said honestly.
    “We don’t have to,” she said, kissing the side of his mouth.
    As if they had a mind of their own, Nathan’s hands began to roam Carter’s body. Trying to restrain himself, he stopped right before reaching her full breasts. Nathan silently reminded himself that Carter had just recovered from a head injury. The doctor clearly said her energy level was low, and she shouldn’t overexert herself.
    “We should go down stairs now, Carter. I’m sure everyone wants to know you’re okay,” he said. It had been too damn long since he’d been able to enjoy Carter’s perfect body. Being in a room alone with her and feeling all of these emotions was definitely not safe, especially with her legs wrapped around him like this. A few moves, and he’d be inside that warm, tight pussy of hers. Nathan bit back a groan.
    “No,” she whispered and ran her velvety tongue across his bottom lip, kissing him again.
    Dammit!
Was he the only one trying to be responsible here? “Carter—”
    “I want you, Nathan. Now,” she said and slammed her mouth against his in a fervent kiss.
    Nathan groaned and wrapped his arms around her body, pressing her close to him as her hands entered his hair.
Oh, no! No, no, no, no!
    She gripped a handful of his hair as their kiss deepened and became more passionate. A growl erupted from Nathan’s chest when Carter pressed closer to him. Her body began to grind against him and she moaned into his mouth.
    Shit!
They needed to stop. He didn’t want to take it too far. There was no way she was ready for this.
    Reluctantly— very reluctantly— Nathan did something that he would bang his head against the wall for later. He pulled back from their kiss. He had hoped that would be enough, but it seemed his fiancée was too far gone. As soon as he broke their kiss, her soft, full lips moved to his face and then down to that spot on his neck she knew he loved.
    Nathan groaned loudly. “Carter.” Her name came out in a breathless whisper.
God, it felt so good.
    Nathan needed to put a halt to this before he lost control, but Carter was relentless, showing no mercy! She moved so perfectly against him. He wanted to grab her hips and speed up her damn movements. But he couldn’t. They needed to stop. “Carter, we have to stop.” She didn’t listen. “Carter,” he pleaded. He needed her to stop because there was no way he was going to stop her. He was only a man for God’s sake! There was only so much he could do at this point.
    “I’m fine, Nathan,” she whispered as she continued her assault on his neck. Her hands moved from his hair to the buttons on his shirt.
    Nathan bit his lip hard. Visions of all the things he wanted to do to her right then assailed him. She wasn’t playing fair. “Carter, this isn’t the right time,” he said through clenched teeth. He didn’t want to say this shit because he wanted exactly what
