“Isabella, don’t ever be afraid of me.”
“What if I lose myself?” she asked, opening her eyes and stared at me.
“You’re too strong for that to happen. I’d never let that shit happen either. I love you for the fireball you are. Your sassy mouth and sharp tongue make my dick hard.”
She laughed, “Your dick is always hard.”
“Only because of you.”
“What if we fight?”
“Makeup sex, doll. It’s fucking fantastic,” I whispered in her ear.
She turned to face me. “James, what if something happens to you?”
“I’m not going anywhere.”
“You don’t know the future,” she said, closing her eyes and breathing deeply.
“I waited all my life to find someone that lights my fire like you do, Izzy. Nothing can put out that flame. Come hell or high water, I’ll spend eternity lo—” Her hand flew to my mouth. “Stop doing that,” I hissed, pulling her hand from my face.
“Don’t say it.”
“As I was saying,” I said, holding her hands above her head, “I’ll spend eternity by your side and worshipping you.”
“Why me, James?”
I looked at her, taking a deep breath before speaking. “Your brother talked about you all the time. I felt like I knew you before we met. That night at the reception when I saw you and you threw your attitude at me…I can’t explain it. In that moment I knew I wanted no one else but you.”
She smiled, blinking slowly. “But I ditched you.” She grimaced.
I laughed, running my hand down her arm. “I wouldn’t have expected anything less.”
“Really?” she asked, her eyebrows knitting together.
“Really. I figured you’d run away. When I touched you for the first time, it was like fireworks exploding under my skin. I never felt that with anyone before, Izzy. Never in my entire life,” I said, grabbing her hand and linking our fingers. “I knew I’d have you again and that someday I’d get you.”
“Liar.”
“You didn’t feel it?”
“Fuck,” she mumbled, looking down before bringing her eyes to mine. “Yes. Why the hell do you think I ran out of there?”
I chuckled, pulling her against me. “I told you I love a good chase. I knew you couldn’t resist me.”
“It’s kinda hard when you keep finding ways to pop into my life.”
“Divine intervention,” I whispered, crushing my lips to hers.
“Bullshit,” she muttered into my mouth.
“Izzy,” I said, pulling her lip between my teeth.
“Yeah?”
“Shut the fuck up and suck my cock,” I growled, pushing her head down toward my dick.
Her eyes flickered as a grin spread across her face. “Yes, master,” she teased, climbing down my body.
