A Debt Repaid (The Debt Duet 2)
Page 64
He smiles. “I’ll take it.” He places a hand on my belly and then his mouth too. “You hear that, little one? Your mom’s smitten with me.”
I laugh, but Easton interrupts me by grabbing my face and kissing me on the lips. His mere lips can take me to sweet, sinful ecstasy. His mouth turns me to mush and reminds me why I chose this instead of freedom. Why I want him and no other man. He tamed my heart in the most grueling way. A way that no other man would ever walk. That I’m sure of.
“I love you,” he whispers.
“I love you too,” I say.
God, we’re like an old couple already.
With a smoldering, heart-pounding gaze, he asks, “What do you say we renew our vows?”
My lips part, but I don’t know how to react. “Wow. Really?”
“Really. I’ve already made all the arrangements. This weekend.”
My pupils dilate, and my heart stops. “Holy shit. You did all that behind my back?”
A wicked smile forms on his lips. “All you need to do is say yes … for real this time. No forced marriage. No debt. No deals.”
A lopsided grin spreads on my face. “Yes.”
He makes a weird face. “That was quick. You sure?”
I wrap my arm around his neck. “I don’t have to think about it. I already knew my heart was yours a long time ago.”
“Hmm, I like the sound of that. What else is mine?”
“Everything.”
“Your body …?” he murmurs, pressing a kiss to my neck. “Your lips …?” Another ever so soft kiss placed on my lips. “Your soul?” He clutches my hand tight and whisks me away with just a simple kiss.
“Yes,” I murmur.
“Out of your own free will,” he adds.
And that’s the honest truth. I give him my all because I want to, because I’m as bound to him as he is bound to me. And I’m no longer ashamed to be Charlotte Van Buren. I’m proud.
