intoxicating sensation.
He groaned like a dying man… and that's exactly what he felt like. As though he'd died and gone to the sweetest kind of heaven and ended up with an angel in his arms.
Once they both recovered, they scooted up on the bed and she automatically cuddled up to his side. He turned toward her, tipped her chin up, and kissed her-nice and slow and deep. He ran his hands slowly up and down the length of her body, loving the feel of her bare skin beneath his fingers. Loving everything about her.
'God, I missed you,' he said after long, sensual minutes had passed.
She looked up at him, her eyes bright and vibrant. 'I missed you, too. Badly.' Her hand wandered down his chest, and that easily, that quickly, he felt his body stir again.
'You know, I'm afraid if we continue on like this your brothers are going to come after me with a shotgun,' he teased and squeezed her bottom.
'So you'll be forced to make an honorable woman out of me?' She rolled her eyes, though it did sound like something her brothers would do. 'No one is going to force you to marry me. It's the twenty-first century. Living in sin is pretty much acceptable these days.'

Tears gathered in her eyes, tears of disbelief and joy and wonder. 'Oh, wow,' she breathed.
She was making him wait. Killing him with her silence.
Then she smiled, and he'd never seen her look so beautiful. So confident. So utterly unafraid. 'Yes,' she whispered. 'Yes, I'll marry you.'
'Thank God,' he said in relief because he didn't want to have to go another day without her in it.
He kissed her again, and this time she pushed him onto his back and took charge. As she set out to seduce him, Cameron knew without a doubt that life with this particular Wilde woman would never be boring.
And he wouldn't want it any other way.
