Until the Dawn (15 page)
“Yes, Dan, I took one look at you and I knew I was a goner, honey.”
“Through all this mess, you had faith in me when no one else did. Say you won’t ever leave me.”
“Never! I love you. How could I go? Oh, Dan, please.” She pushed back, trying to get up more fully on the bed. “I need you inside me.”
Grinning, he grabbed her nape and kissed her like he was a starving man. “Hold that thought, baby.”
He pulled away. She heard a condom package tear. She felt his body heat as he came back to her, like he always did. And she smiled at him as he rose above her, hooked his hands under her knees, pulled her open and filled her with all of him.
Caught in the pleasure of it, she paused. He gritted his teeth. “I love your pussy, too,” he told her with a growl. “The way you clamp your muscles around me, like that.
And the way you let me in, oh, hell, baby, all the way. All the way home. Like that. And the way you just don’t ever stop.”
She dug her nails into his thighs. “I won’t! I won’t ever stop loving you.”

He slid in and pulled out ever so slowly. “I want you.” He slid in again, all the way to her heart.
She bucked. “You have me.”
He gathered her close to him again, his cock buried deep inside her, his big hand under her nape. “Always.”
“Always.”
“You’ll marry me then?”
Her mouth opened. Her mind blanked. Her heart swelled. She grinned and arched.
“If I say I’ll marry you, will you please make love to me before I dissolve here?”
“How about Friday?” He gave her another taste of his ultimate intentions.
Undulating beneath him, she beat the mattress with her fists. “
Three
days from now?” Who would come? Who cared? All she needed was Dan.
“In Maryland.” He drove into her twice more to show her his talents with a long smooth drive to ecstasy.
“You’re in a hurry?” she barked. Any second in frustration, she would gnaw the bedposts.
“We go to work with Nikki soon.” He rolled his hips against hers. “And I need a nice long honeymoon, baby. To do this,” he whispered as he pinched her clit and sent shock waves through her. “And this,” he hauled her thighs up onto his and pumped into her once with deliberate force. “Say yes.”
She threw back her head and groaned. “Yes! Yes! Yes!”
“Nice.” He caught her hips in his two big hands. “Now be a good girl and hang on to me!”

About the Author
Desiree Holt: I always wonder what readers really want to know when I write one
of these things. Getting to this point in my career has been an interesting journey. I’ve managed rock and roll bands and organized concerts. Been the only female on the sports staff of a university newspaper. Immersed myself in Nashville peddling a country singer. Lived in five different states. Married two very interesting but totally different men.
I think I must have lived in Texas in another life, because the minute I set foot on Texas soil I knew I was home. Living in Texas Hill Country gives me inspiration for more stories than I’ll probably ever be able to tell, what with all the sexy cowboys who surround me and the gorgeous scenery that provides a great setting.
Each day is a new adventure for me, as my characters come to life on the pages of my current work in progress. I’m absolutely compulsive about it when I’m writing and thank all the gods and goddesses that I have such a terrific husband who encourages my writing and puts up with my obsession. As a multi-published author, I love to hear from my readers. Their input keeps my mind fresh and always hunting for new ideas.
