Only With You (The Connor Family 4)

“No, but the girls need someone on their side.” I pulled back a notch, looking him straight in the eyes so he knew I meant it.
“You really know how to keep me on my toes. And you’re right, they do need someone on their side. Thank you for caring so much about them. It means a lot to me.”
He placed both my hands on his chest. I could feel his heart beating rapidly under my palms. “I love you so much.”
“I can’t believe I’m so lucky,” I murmured. He bit my lower lip gently before moving his mouth over mine, demanding full surrender. One hand gripped my hip possessively, pressing me harder against his pelvis. We walked backward until the backs of my knees touched a soft surface, then we tumbled onto the couch, laughing.
“We’re going to have a happy life together, Val.”
I shimmied under him, overwhelmed by the emotion in his voice.
“Yes, we are. I promise.”
He smiled before lowering his head, drawing the tip of his nose over my neck. “Does that promise also include you keeping me on my toes every day?”
“Um... the answer to that will always be yes.”
“And you’re not even sorry, are you?”
“Not one bit.”
“If you surrender to me so beautifully every evening, I won’t complain.”
I grinned, shifting and biting his earlobe slightly. “I believe we have a deal.”
