mirrored hers as he exploded deep inside her. He leaned forward and wrapped his arm around her as he came. He had to brace one hand against the wall as she sagged. He pressed hot kisses along her back and shoulders as he held them both up.
“I love the way your body locks around me,” he murmured.
Evetta chuckled weakly as she leaned back into him. “That is good since there is nothing I could do if you did not. Oh…” She moaned as he twitched inside her, pulling on the same nubs that locked him to her. “That is, what is the word you taught me…wow!”
“Wow is an understatement,” Ben acknowledged.
“Ben,” Evetta murmured as he pulled out of her.
“Yes, love.”
“I’m glad I’m your wife,” she whispered as she turned in his arms as he straightened.
“Me too, sweetheart. Me too,” he said, kissing her again.
Chapter 14
Aaron looked around the room in excitement. Hanine had come in a short while ago from work and he had acted like it was no big deal. He had casually asked her if she wanted to go to the dining area for dinner. She had given him a funny look but agreed. It had almost killed him to keep a straight face as she went into the bathroom to get cleaned up.
The moment she had shut the door, he had sprung into action. He turned when he heard the door buzz. Glancing at the door to the bathroom, he hurried forward.
“Not a word to anyone!” Cree hissed in a low voice. “I can’t believe you roped me into this.”
“You said anything if I could knock you off your feet!” Aaron responded with a grin, pulling the cart of food into the room. “You fell.”
“You kissed me!” Cree retorted in disgust. “Whoever heard of a warrior defeating another with a kiss!”
“Hey, man,” Aaron grinned. “All’s fair in love and war and I am definitely in love.”
“Yeah, with a…” Cree’s mouth snapped shut when Aaron’s eyes darkened in warning. “…just not a word.”
Aaron ran his fingers across his lips as if zipping them shut. Ordering the door closed and locking it, he pushed the cart so that it was next to the table. He was about to move the covered dishes over to it when the door to the bathroom opened. He turned, his breath exhaling in a loud hiss as Hanine filled the doorway wearing nothing more than a small towel wrapped around her.
“Mu…music,” he whispered. “Play music.”
“Who was at the…door?” Hanine breathed out looking up at the ceiling. “Oh, Aaron.”
Aaron’s eyes softened as he walked slowly over to where she was standing in awe. His eyes lit up with warmth at the tears glittering in her eyes as she took in the hundreds of small origami shapes hanging from the ceiling like stars.
“Can I keep you?” He whispered when she looked back at him. “Forever?”
“You’ve had me from the first one,” she admitted, biting her lip and laughing. “You are crazy.”
Aaron’s arms opened and he caught her as she flew into them. His arms wrapped around her bare, slender figure as she wound her arms around his neck and buried her face in his neck. He could feel the hot, wet tears as she shook her head.
“I’m crazy about you, Hanine. I have been from the first time you rolled your beautiful eyes at those women and when you stuck your tongue out! Man, I knew I was a goner,” he murmured as he pulled back just far enough to slip the ring he had made for her on her left hand. “You are my wife. I love you, Hanine.”
“I love you, Aaron Cooper,” Hanine muttered passionately. “I love everything about you, you crazy human.”
“Show me,” Aaron whispered as he bent to kiss her. “Show me what you love about me.”
Hanine’s smile was all the answer Aaron needed. The promise in it was enough to ignite the fire in his loins. His hands went to the clasp on his pants. He pushed them down at the same time as she pushed his shirt off his shoulders. Her fingers gently caressed the long scar on his side.
“I almost lost you,” she
