As Luck Would Have It by Jennifer Anne Page A

don’t think for a minute that one day is going to pass when I won’t get to hold you and tell you that I love you.”
    “When are you leaving Vegas?” Sydney suddenly asked.
    “I’m leaving when you’re leaving. I have an open return, so I’ll be flying back to Philly with you in two days,” He took her face in his hands and kissed her. “I’m not letting you out of my sight.”
    “I love you, Marcus Matthews.”
    “I love you, too, Sydney.”

 
     
     
     
     
    CHAPTER eleven
     
     
    Whether it was because of Sydney’s scent or the sun glaring through the window, Marcus woke earlier than he wanted. He was spooning Sydney, and it felt so good. His morning erection poked her right in the ass.
    “Um, babe, I’m trying to get some sleep here. Could you put that away for maybe another hour or so?” Sydney said groggily as she bumped her ass back slightly.
    “Ah, it’s got a mind of its own, and you’re not helping the situation by antagonizing it with your ass.” He bumped her back with his dick.
    “Since I’m up now, what’s the game plan for today, Cruise Director?”
    “First we’re going to have sweet morning sex,” he said, kissing the back of her neck, “then we’re going to pack up and head over to Paris.”
    Sydney quickly turned over and faced Marcus. “What, we’re going to Paris? Paris, France?” Her eyes practically bulged out of her head.
    Marcus couldn’t help but smirk, “No. The Paris Las Vegas Hotel. I reserved a pool villa for us today, and we’ll be spending the night in one of the suites. I originally thought we would do the Eifel Tower but after seeing your reaction to Paris, I have an idea. Maybe you’d like to marry me and go to Paris, France for our honeymoon? We could take the honeymoon when everything back home is settled.”
    Sydney was stunned. “You’re serious? Are you actually proposing to me?”
    “I’m not very prepared with an engagement ring. Oh wait.” He quickly got out of bed and dug something out of his pants pocket. “I do have this ring.” He held up the belly ring he had bought a few days ago. “I was hoping you would wear it as a promise ring, but now you can wear it as an engagement ring.” Marcus walked around to Sydney’s side of the bed and knelt down in front of her. “Will you marry me, Sydney?”
    He looked so damn hot kneeling in front of her naked. She could feel her face flushing. “Yes, I’ll marry you.”
    Marcus pulled the sheet off of Sydney, carefully removed her dragonfly belly ring, and replaced it with the one with the diamond. He kissed her navel and then her lips. “I love you.”
    Sydney placed her hands on the sides of his face. “I love you, too. How about that morning sex?” She pulled him and directed him back into bed.
    Marcus couldn’t stop kissing her face. He kissed her forehead, each of her eyelids, the bridge of her nose, the tip of her nose, each cheek, her chin, and then he concentrated on her lips. First he licked the top one, then the bottom. Slightly separating them with his tongue, he touched his lips to hers and circled his tongue inside her mouth to meet hers.
    He kissed her neck, continuing all the way up to her ear and back down to her collarbone, giving a little bite there. Sydney moaned, pulling Marcus back up to her lips for a deep kiss. His hands cupped her breasts and gently squeezed. He felt her nipples becoming erect in his palms.
    His touch ran down the sides of her body, giving Sydney goose bumps on her arms. She grasped his ass, pulling him closer to her sex, feeling the nearness of his barbell to her clit. It felt like an electric shock ran through her body. She wanted him deep inside her. Sydney wrapped her legs around his waist and tried to draw him closer.
    Marcus had other plans. “Not yet, baby. I’m going to taste and kiss every inch of your sweet body.”
    “I want you now,” Sydney whined, still trying to bring his body closer to hers.
    Scooting out from under her legs,
