reliving moments just like this one, when he used everything in his arsenal to shatter her defenses.
    “God, baby,” he whispered. “I’ve missed this. I’ve missed you .”
    Elisabeth fisted his hair, which she’d never been able to do before when his hair was so short, and arched into the strokes of his tongue. “Jared… Please . I need you.”
    “I’m here, honey. I’m right here.” He pushed two fingers into her as he focused on her clit, sucking until she came with a scream, the pleasure electrifying her entire body.
    He stayed with her through the orgasm that seemed to go on forever, withdrawing only when she flopped onto the mattress, boneless and depleted from the powerful release.  
    She’d barely begun to recover when he was above her, arranging her legs around his hips.  
    “Are we still good to go ungloved?” he asked hesitantly.
    They’d waited a long time before deciding to be tested so they could abandon the condoms. “Yes.” She was on long-term birth control and had been for a while.
    “There’s been no one else.”
    “I know,” she said but was nonetheless happy to hear him confirm it.  
    Moving slowly, he entered her, his gaze pinned to hers, which kept her from looking away even when the emotions approached overload level. “Lizzie… Feels so good.”
    “Mmm.” She raised her hips, looking for more.  
    “All the time we were apart, the only thing I could think about was how I’d bear to live the whole rest of my life without ever touching you again.” His hand curled around her breast as his lips surrounded her nipple.  
    The combination of his words, the tight press of his cock pushing into her and the heat of his mouth on her nipple brought her right back to the precipice of release.  
    “Not yet, baby,” he whispered gruffly. He’d taught her how to delay her release to ramp up the pleasure for both of them. Curling an arm around her left leg, he picked up the pace, making delayed pleasure an even greater challenge.
    Elisabeth clenched her teeth against the need to give in to the release he was building with every thrust of his hips. She could tell he was close by the way his eyes drifted closed, his lips parted and his breathing deepened, all signs she’d come to recognize during their time together.  
    “Lizzie,” he said, gasping, “I love you so much. I need you.”  
    She wrapped her arms around him, holding on tight as he took them both to the edge and then pushed her over as he came with a growl against her ear that gave her goose bumps. “I love you, too.”

Chapter 7
    Still inside her, still throbbing with aftershocks, Jared raised his head and caught her gaze. She couldn’t believe the myriad emotions she saw in his expressive eyes. Mostly she saw the love.
    “Lizzie… Marry me. Live here with me. Run The Chesterfield or do something else. Whatever you want. I’d give you anything, if only—”
    Blinking back tears, she kissed him, lingering over the unmistakable taste of him. “Yes. Yes. Yes .” She kissed him again. “Any other questions?”
    He shook his head, and made her laugh through her tears.  
    “In this case, head shaking is allowed,” she said.
    “You’re really going to marry me?”
    “I’m really going to marry you.”
    “What about the money?”
    “What about it?”
    “I still have it. You still don’t want it.”
    “If it means I get to have you, I’ll learn to live with it.”
    “Will you let me pay off your student loans?”
    “Absolutely not!”
    “How about when you’re my wife? I won’t want your lousy debt weighing me down.”
    Elisabeth smiled at the teasing glint in his eyes. “Too bad. You get me, you get my lousy debt, and I’ll pay it off myself. Eventually.”
    “Are you always going to be this stubborn?”
    “Yep.”
    He released a deep, dramatic sigh. “I guess I’ll learn to live with it.”
    His play on words made her smile.  
    “What about the shelter, babe? I wouldn’t want you to
