I open the door with my breath lodged in my throat.
CHAPTER SIX
Kennedy
* * *
There he is… laying in the tub with bubbles all around him. His wet brown hair is slicked back and his huge arms are resting on the sides of the tub. I swallow hard when I see the true size of his naked chest. It’s big and hairy and looks so fucking manly. I just want to drag my tongue all over it.
“I was thinking…”
His eyebrows rise a little bit as he watches me.
“And I would… like to be… your wife.”
The corners of his sexy lips curl up into a wolfish smile.
“You’ll stay with me?”
I nod shyly. “As long as you’ll have me.”
“I’ll have you forever,” he says as he stares at me. “I’ll have you in a hundred years and I’ll have you right now.”
Right now?
“Come here.”
I swallow as my feet start moving. I’m trying to keep my eyes focused on his face, but they keep darting to the lower half of the bathtub in between where his hairy muscular legs are emerging from the soapy water like mountains.
He reaches for me as I arrive. I kneel beside the tub, keeping my eyes focused on his.
“I’ll treat you right, Kennedy,” he says as he gazes into my eyes with love and adoration.
I can feel the truth and sincerity in his words. It makes my whole torso warm up. It makes me want to open my heart, my soul, and my body to this hulking mountain man in front of me. It makes me want to sink into this bath with him as I sink into my new life, forgetting all of the bad that came before me and starting over fresh.
“I know,” I whisper.
And I do. I can tell he’d never hurt me. Never treat me bad. He’s done nothing but take care of me since the first second he saw me and with the loving possessive look in his eyes that he’s giving me right now, I know that he will never be anything but a positive force in my life.
“I love you, Kennedy,” he says as he gazes into my eyes. His eyes are hypnotizing. They’re mesmerizing. My mouth is opening as it gets closer to his, moving together like magnets.
“I love you too, Declan.”
It’s out there now. The words, the feelings, the indescribable attraction that’s engulfing me like a heavenly aura.
The words have been said. All that’s left is to live them.
He cups my cheeks with his big wet palms and I moan as he gently pulls me toward him. All the tension, all the stress, all the tightness that’s been a permanent fixture in my body over these past two years melts out of me with that deep delicious kiss.
I moan into his mouth when I feel his soft tongue gliding across mine. He tastes so good. He tastes like happiness, like heaven, like freedom.
I sit on the edge of the bath and run my hands through his wet hair as we show each other how we feel, how committed we are, how eager we are to be in each other’s lives.
He groans hungrily as I pull away and sit up. I’m trying not to smile as I look at him laying there, but it’s hard. I didn’t think I’d ever be this happy again.
My eyes drift down to his massive chest. It’s so sexy. He’s so hot.
I fight back the urge to touch him, but then realize I don’t have to. I’m his and he’s mine. I can touch him all I want.
My neck and cheeks flush with heat as I reach out and touch his shoulder. He grins as he watches me exploring his mouthwatering burly body.
I’m aching down there as I slide my palm over his stout muscled chest. My pussy is burning as I feel his power.
My cheeks blush with self-consciousness and I pull my hand away. He grabs my wrist and pulls it back.
“You can touch me anywhere,” he says in a deep throaty voice that’s sounding even more sensual and erotic than it normally does, which is saying a lot.
“You can touch me here,” he says as he drags my hand along his thick hard bicep. “Here.” I gulp as I let him slide my hand over his hard abs. “And here.”
My eyes widen as I watch my hand plunge under the soapy water and disappear.
Holy fuckballs. That’s thick!
Declan groans as my knuckles graze his cock. A heated lust floods into me and takes over everything. It’s in control now. The shy, bashful, innocent Kennedy is gone. She must have died in the fire.
I’m Kayla now. And Kayla is a slutty little vixen when it comes to this hot, virile mountain man.
His eyes fall closed as I wrap my fingers around his shaft and squeeze it. I love the sound he makes. Every one of those deep heavy groans makes my pussy pulse and wetten until I’m soaked down there. I can feel the sticky heat leaking onto my inner thighs.
