“I fought society’s rules for what they deemed to be beautiful. I didn’t want to be what they said I had to be. I learned to love my body long ago and never really thought I’d find a man who would love me as I am.” She ran her other hand into his hair, threading her fingers through his silky strands.
I didn’t want someone who would love me despite the fact I had curves and rolls and a belly and jiggly arms.” She smiled. “Don’t shake your head. I do have all of those. I wanted a man who wanted me exactly as I am.” She sighed and brought his hand down to her abdomen.
“A man who found me sexy and beautiful. A man who got hard because my body pleased him.” She laughed and glanced up at the dual moons. “It took going to another planet to get my wish.”
“I do love you. Exactly as you are.”
She nodded. “I know. I never thought leaving my home planet would make me this happy.” She threw her arms around him and kissed his neck. “Thank you. For making me your mate. And for making me your partner.”
“So you are happy to stay here with me?”
“You couldn’t get me to leave even if you tried evicting me.”
He pulled back and cupped her face. “I would like one more thing.”
She blinked. “What?”
“To make you my wife. I looked up Earth customs. Would you marry me, Bella?”
She kissed him hard and giggled. “I will. I’ll marry you, my lion king.”
He leaned his forehead to her cooling one. “You don’t mind having my children?”#p#分页标题#e#
She frowned. “Why would I mind? I love you. I want your babies.”
He nodded. “Good, because I want you to have lots of babies.”
She raised her brows and leaned back. “Hang on a second. What’s ‘lots’ of babies?”
“Ten or twenty.”
She choked on her saliva and started coughing. “I’m sorry. I thought I heard you say ten or twenty.”
He nodded. “I did.”
“Baby, you’re going to have to come back with a new offer. That deal has been declined by the bank. I’m thinking more along the lines of one or two.”
“Five?”
She almost felt bad about the way he scowled as if she were breaking his heart. “Let’s settle on four and see how I feel after that. Who knows? You might convince me to give it another go.”
“Sounds like a good plan.” He pulled her closer and kissed her again. And all she could do was lean into him and let him pleasure her. She loved his kisses. As far as she knew, she’d always go weak for her lion.
EPILOGUE
Gerri glanced at the travel opening to Aurora and grabbed Charlotte’s hand, holding her tight. “Don’t worry, darling. This trip is going to change your life. I hope you like snow.”
