Deathblow (33 page)

When they lay there, slick in each other’s arms after a lovemaking that went past her wildest dreams, she told him again that she loved him.

“Then you’ll marry me?”

“Why?”

“Being with you feels better than scoring a thousand touchdowns.”

“Is that football romance?” He could always make her laugh. That was a gift. And yet. “I think I’m going to need a little more time to get comfortable with the idea of marriage.” But she could see life with a man, for the first time, without being afraid of it.

“Without pushing, I’d like you to consider this. Marriage is not one person gaining power over the other. It’s an equal partnership. It’s you propping me up when I fall down, and me propping you up when you need it. It’s having someone to share the good times with.”

Sharing good times with a man sounded utterly foreign. But with Joe, she could almost see how it might be. “I’m going to work on becoming the person who can trust a relationship like that.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” He kissed her lightly on the lips. “I love you.”

“My own, personal Cop Casanova.”

“That’s Detective Casanova to you,” he said with a grin, then deepened the kiss.
