“Agreed.” He smoothed her beautiful dark hair back off her forehead. “But you’ll have me to help.”
Her smile made his whole world bright with possibilities it hadn’t had for a long time.
“So if you’re not going to Florida, how about somewhere else?” He lowered his hands to her hips and started her rocking back and forth again, heart full of what he wanted to say, though he knew she wasn’t ready to hear it yet. But he also felt with every instinct he possessed that it was only a matter of time before she was. “I’m thinking St. Thomas.”
“Us?”
“Mmm.”
“Ooh.”
“What would you think of it being our honeymoon?”
She started; her eyes went wide with shock.
He burst out laughing, unable to help it. Dirty trick. “I’m sorry,
how
not afraid of commitment are you?”
“I…we…it’s…”
He rolled her over, kissed her sweet, perfect mouth. “You know, now that you’ve given in to staying in Milwaukee, I’m thinking I need something new I can convince you to do.”
“Oh?” She locked her arms around him as he nestled between her legs where he belonged.
“What do you think? You stay in town and I’ll work on you, slow and steady, until you agree to marry me.”
She laughed, her eyes lit, cheeks turned pink with happiness—the sight he wanted to see every day for the rest of his life. “Sawyer, I can’t commit to
anything
…better than that.”
