Wilde Chase (14 page)

Kelly sat up a
little straighter and let her head fall back as she gave in to her desires.
Ben’s hands found her breasts and she wrapped her fingers around his thick
wrists, using him for balance as she let herself go.

Hard and fast,
then slow and deep, she rode him every way she could think of. This was her
man, the one she wanted forever with. That knowledge helped her drop the last
of her barriers, freeing her to act on her desires without embarrassment or
fear. His fingers teased and toyed with her breasts until her nipples ached and
every touch sent a flare of heat straight through her body to her clit.

He was thick
enough that her body still had to stretch to accommodate his girth, and that
meant every stroke touched nerve endings she had never known she had. Not until
Ben had shown them to her. Her hips started moving faster and she leaned into
his hands, trusting him to hold her as she raced toward oblivion again, taking
Ben with her.

He came seconds
before she did, his cock pulsing as he emptied himself into her body with a
primal roar. Watching his passion was her undoing. Kelly felt as though she was
soaring, caught up in a whirlwind of raw pleasure and wild passion that sent
her senses spinning.

She let herself
fall forward and Ben caught her, cradling her to his chest as they both
struggled to catch their breath in the aftermath. Tiny tremors coursed through
her limbs every time one of them moved, and Ben’s breath was as ragged as if
he’d run a race as he nuzzled his lips into her hair.

“I’ve decided that
when my time comes, that’s how I want to go,” he said as his breathing slowly
returned to something close to normal.

“Shall I schedule
that for sixty or so years from now?”

“I hope I have
more than sixty years with you, baby. We’re just getting started.”

Kelly pressed a
kiss to his chin. “I hope so too.”

“I hear
a
but
in there
somewhere.”

“But we never know
how long we’ll have. I just know I want to spend every moment I have with you.”
Kelly lifted her head to smile at him and was stunned by the love she saw in
his eyes.

“That’s what I
want too. I want you in my bed, my house, and my life from now until the day we
die, and then I’m going to find you again and spend eternity with you too.
You’re the one I’ve been looking for. There won’t be another. There couldn’t
be.”

“You’re it for me
too, Ben,” she said and her soul sang in agreement.

“Good. Then I
expect the answer to this next question to be a resounding
yes
.”

Kelly’s heart did
a stuttering two-step as Ben reached under a pillow and pulled out a small
velvet box. He grinned up at her as he opened it, revealing a pear-cut diamond
ring.

“Ben?” His name
came out in a strangled whisper as she stared at the ring in shock.

“That’s not a
yes,” he said, his grin growing wider by the second.

“You didn’t
actually ask me a question.”

“I…shit!
Right.”
 
Ben cleared
his throat. “
Kelly
Towers
, will you marry
me?”

“Yes!” She was
laughing now, and her vision was blurred by the tears of joy falling down her
cheeks.

She couldn’t see
to take the ring out of the box so Ben did it, laughing all the while,
The
ring slid onto her finger and she held out her hand to
gaze at it, hardly able to breathe.

“If that doesn’t
keep my brothers away from you, then I’ve got Mom’s permission to bust some
heads.”

“You did not just
ask me to marry you as some sort of ‘hands off’ sign!” Kelly was too happy to
do more than swat at his naked chest with her right hand.

He smirked up at
her.
“Nope.
I asked you to marry me because I love
you. I gave you a big, shiny rock to make it clear you are spoken for.”

“In that case, I
want to get married soon,” she announced.

“Why?”

She waggled her
brows at him as she leaned in for a kiss.
“Because I want to
buy you a big, shiny wedding band.
You’re spoken for too!”

“Yes, I am.”
 
He cupped her cheek in his hand and gave her
a kiss that made her heart sing. “I was never much for the chase, but I’m truly
done with it now. I’m all yours.”
