“I’m on board with that. I don’t like fighting. I like this.” He kept showering me with kisses until I was giddy.
“I like it too,” I whispered.
“I love you, Tess. And I’m not letting you go. Ever. Life probably won’t be smooth sailing, but I’ll be a happy man knowing I get to spend every day with you.”
My breath caught. His gaze turned playful before he added, “And that I can make you mine every night.”
I grinned. “I bet that’s your favorite part.”
“Hell yes.”
I traced a line from one shoulder to the other before skimming my fingers up his neck. I couldn’t stop touching him, but I had to.
“Why the cute pout?” he asked.
I hadn’t even realized I was pouting.
“I don’t want to get out of bed, but I need to send the orders to design and production. I’ll feel guilty if I don’t do it.”
He tilted his head to one side as if seriously considering my words.
“I have a solution for that.”
“What is it?”
With a mischievous smile, he clasped my wrists, pinning them above my head.
“I’m just not going to let you leave the bed. Then you have nothing to feel guilty about.”
“I see. I’m your prisoner, huh?” I lifted my head, stealing a quick kiss.
“You’re mine to take care of and make happy. And I have so many ideas about how to make that happen.”
I laughed, feeling my heart just soar with joy. I attempted to wiggle underneath him but couldn’t. I smiled coyly before stealing another kiss.
“Go ahead, Mr. Harrington. Try out all your ideas.”

“You’re a bad influence,” Tess murmured later that afternoon.
“We’ve already established that.”
I was kissing the back of her neck while she tried to email the order sheet she worked on for the past hour. We were still in bed.
“There, all sent! Only took me five times longer than it should have. But I’ll take this distraction every day.”
“Good, because I don’t plan on behaving anytime I’m around you. Especially if you’re wearing this.”
“I’m naked.”
“Precisely.” I put her laptop away, pulling her in my lap.
“But I’m at a disadvantage. Why are you dressed up?”
“You insisted. So I wouldn’t distract you.”
