Uninhibited

Dex freezes against me. “You mean it?” he checks again, so I wrap myself around him this time, holding him so close, we could forget where I end and he begins.

“With all my heart.” I listen to his heartbeat thundering in his chest, matching the race in my own. This is it, everything I’ve ever wanted. The love, the passion, the partnership. I just never saw it coming, not like this.

Not like Dex.

I feel a sudden reckless urge. Wildfire in my veins, hot and sweet, making me invincible, the way only he can.

I’m done waiting around. I know this one thing for sure, it’s him. Next week, a year, fifty years from now, he’ll still captivate my heart the same as that very first night we met.

Some things, you can’t plan for.

Some people, you know before you even meet.

Some loves are forever.

I slowly pull back and fix him with a teasing smile. “What’s that look for?” Dex asks, a low note of desire snaking in his voice.

I lean in close, and whisper in his ear.

“You know, we are in Vegas...”
