“And what?” She winked up at him.

“When a man tells a woman he loves her, he hopes she’ll return the affection.” He held his breath, waiting for her response, knowing how she’d felt about her job and relationships a year ago. He had no idea how she felt now. He swallowed hard. “If you don’t love me enough to commit now, I’ll wait. I’ll show you how good it can be—you and me.”

Eyes twinkling, Mitchell pressed a finger to his lips. “Shut up, frogman.”

“But you haven’t said—”

“I love you, and I want to be with you.” She pushed a strand of his hair back from his forehead and kissed his lips in a light brush. “When I was held captive, all I could think about was getting out to be with you. I know how you feel about your job.”

“And I know how you feel about yours.” The knot in his chest loosened and he pressed his forehead to hers. “There will be lots of time where we’re apart.”

“We’ll make it work.”

Remy sighed and brushed a finger along her soft cheek. “You’re an incredible woman.”

“And you’re not so bad yourself. I’ll always have an image of you storming into that room all macho with your naked chest and tattoos.” Mitchell ran her fingernails along the lines of ink on his shoulders. “Now, is the air cleared? Can we get back down to business?” She lay back on the bed and spread her legs. “You were showing me how much you liked my boots.”

“Oh, yes.” He settled his big body between her legs and sucked one of her breasts into his mouth. “Where was I?”

“Farther down.”

“Here?” He kissed her belly and circled his tongue in her navel.

“You’re getting warmer.”

Scooting down, he nuzzled the mound of hair over her sex, loving the tang of her arousal. “Here?”

“You’re hot.” She ran her fingers through his hair.

“Baby, don’t you know it.” He dove in and tongued her until she screamed out his name, then climbed up her body and thrust into her, hard and deep.

This was where he belonged. And somehow he knew Brewsky was smiling down on him, happy he’d found what he’d been looking and waiting for.
