the scent of him, clinging to the genuine affection he extended.
When they eased apart, he placed a light lingering kiss on her lips, then led her back to the sofa. “Now will you accept what I bought for you?”
She opened the box. “It’s a ring.” Staring at him with wide eyes, she fell at a loss for words.
“It’s not an engagement ring,” he quickly stated. “I know it’s way too soon for that.” He lifted a very pretty black onyx stone mounted on a lovely silver band from the box. “I feel connected to you, Sydnie. You have more guts than any woman I’ve known. Will you accept this ring as my promise to never surrender?”
“What do you mean?”
Warmth flooded his eyes. “Last night…the noose…today I got rid of it. You really hung in there with me and I don’t want to lose you. It’s okay that you cried. I can’t believe how hard you fought to stop me and I was shocked as hell that you got in the truck. Why did you? I could’ve killed you.”
“I don’t know.” She shrugged. “I guess deep inside you brought me back to life. I’ve merely existed since my divorce, not truly lived. Maybe I’m secretly a thrill seeker.” She laughed a little.
“I love your laugh. You’re real and sweet.”
“Thanks.” She smiled.
“I won’t drink anymore. If I do, you can walk away for good and I’ll never bother you again. But I’d like you to be my girlfriend, I’d like us to be exclusive as a couple. The ring is my promise to you that I won’t give up on life no matter how dark it gets in here.” He tapped his temple. “I’ll never put you through another suicide mission. Today I realized suicide is the coward’s way out. I’ve never backed down from a fight. I’m ready to live again.”
Blinking tears away, she looked down at the ring. It was very beautiful in an antique setting, a perfect combination of darkness and light. “I want you to live. I’ve grown extremely attached to you this past week. Not sure I want my boring life back.” She lifted her eyes. “Are you sure about this?”
He took her left hand in his and slid the ring on her finger. “No doubt in my mind about you. If you’re not the right woman for me, then there isn’t one out there. I’m falling in love with you, baby doll.”
Her gaze shifted from the delicate ring to his loving eyes. “I’m falling for you, too.”
“You’ll be my lady?”
“Yes.”
They fell together in a sincere hug, faces buried against each other’s necks. No man had ever held her with this much genuine feeling. She relaxed in his arms, feeling safe and confident that he meant every word. There had never been a fake moment between them and she treasured that fact.
“I know I said no sex tonight,” she whispered against his ear. “But I really want you right now.”
He eased back. Their eyes met. Without saying a word, he scooped her off the couch and into his arms. They kissed passionately as he carried her back to the bedroom. His tongue filled her mouth. He laid her down without breaking the kiss. One hand slid up her bare leg and under her short denim skirt. She sighed when his fingers slid past her damp lace panties and into her sex. Reaching down, she undid the fly to his jeans to release his fine erection into her waiting hand. They stroked each other while kissing madly.
He pulled away to strip off his clothes. Their gazes locked as she did the same. Before he had a chance to lie down again, she gripped his ass and tugged him close. His hands dove into her hair, taking a tight hold as her lips closed around the head of his cock.
“Ah fuck,” he groaned, kneeling on the bed before her.
She went down on him hard, never letting up until he pushed her down on the bed.
His hands slid down the entire length of her legs as he lowered his head between her thighs. “You have the sexiest legs I’ve ever seen.”
A gasp escaped her when his hot moist mouth closed around her clit. He sucked and licked her into
