filling the room.
It was the official opening, and the Laurent Winery was making a splash.
Elizabeth s gaze drifted around the room. This was their big night. Everyone was sampling the
wine and having a fantastic time.
So where is Saxon? It was his party, and the man needed to show up soon.
She smiled at a businessman. There weren t any reporters at this event she d made sure of that.
Saxon was going to be the reclusive owner of the winery a guy who seldom, if ever, gave
interviews.
Because his past needs to stay buried.
As for her own past, Victor had told her that she was safe, that the hit had been canceled.
I m free.
Only she hadn t returned to Miami once she d gotten the news. She d stayed at home, with Saxon.
Their new home.
Her gaze swept the crowd once more. When she didn t see Saxon, she slipped through the crush
and made her way to his office. The door was shut, but she knocked lightly, then went inside.
He was there, with his back to her, staring out that big window and looking into the night. His
shoulders were so stiff and tense that she hesitated, worried that something had happened. Saxon?
If possible, his shoulders seemed to tense even more. Worried now, she quickly made her way to
him. As she approached, he turned toward her, and Elizabeth sucked in a sharp breath. The man was
killer hot in that tux. Like danger wrapped up in a sexy package.
Temptation.
But his tense expression had her heart racing with worry.
Wh-what s wrong? Elizabeth asked him.
His hands were shoved into his pockets. It s a big night. His voice was the deep, rumbling growl
that she loved.
She flashed him a smile. It s your night. You should be out there, enjoying it.
His gaze slid to the door, then back to her. He shook his head. Why go out there? Everything I
want is right in front of me. He reached for her hands and pulled her closer. Right here.
Sometimes when Saxon looked at her, she could actually see the love in his eyes. She wondered
why she hadn t seen it sooner. Maybe she d been afraid to look too deeply into his dark gaze.
He gave her a small smile. One that was oddly hesitant. Then he bent down in front of her. Her
heart seemed to jump straight into her throat. Saxon?
He pulled his right hand out of his pocket. That hand held a ring. A beautiful diamond that glinted
up at her.
I love you.
She would never get tired of hearing him say those words.
Will you marry me?
She couldn t speak.
Fear flashed across his face. I-I know I ve got a shady past, that I m not always the& the easiest
of lovers, but, sweetheart
She took the ring from him. Put it on her finger. It fit her perfectly, just the way that he did. Yes.
You ll marry me?
Elizabeth stared into his eyes. You re not the easiest of lovers, you re the best of lovers. He d
sure ruined her for anyone else. And I plan to spend the rest of my life with you.
Saxon smiled at her. God, she d never get used to his smile. The way it lit his face. Changed his
whole face. Not dangerous then&
Mine.
And Elizabeth knew she was staring at the man who was truly hers. And he d been there with her,
during her darkest moments, keeping her safe, loving her, and she hadn t even realized that all
along&
He s all I will ever need.
He pulled her into his arms. Put his mouth on hers. He kissed her so carefully, as if she were the
most precious thing in his world. And that was how he made her feel always so important.
So wanted.
She eased away from him. Everyone is waiting outside.
His gaze was on her mouth. Guess we should go out there.
No. She kissed him again. We should let them drink all the wine they want, and we should stay
right here.
His brows climbed.
Do you like my dress? She asked him.
He nodded.
Do you like my underwear? Elizabeth pushed.
His lips parted.
Oh, wait, she murmured as happiness bubbled inside of her. I forgot& I m not wearing any
underwear.
The darkness of his gaze grew even more intense. Sweetheart&
I ve missed your desk. Her hand trailed down his chest. You re all healed now, right?
He was already pulling up her dress. When he saw that she was, in fact, not wearing any
underwear, Saxon let out a rough curse.
She smiled.
And he lifted her onto the desk.
To be honest, she told him as her hands went to his waist. It wasn t the desk I missed. But
she d known that he needed time to recover.
His hand was on her sex. His fingers were in her. Her moan came fast and hard, the same way that
she knew her climax would be hitting soon. She was already wet for him. One touch, and she felt as
if she were close to exploding.
His cock was out. Fully erect. She wanted to take time and stroke him, to caress him with her lips
and tongue.
He moved between her thighs. Positioned the head of his arousal right at her sex. His hands caught
hers. Their fingers threaded together, and he drove into her in one, long, mind-blowing thrust.
Then a knock sounded at the door.
Elizabeth froze. I forgot to lock the door!
Go the fuck away! Saxon snarled. His gaze never left her face. His cock filled her completely,
stretching her, and she had to arch against him.
Then he groaned.
And she moaned.
And the footsteps padded away.
Now where were we? Saxon withdrew, then plunged back into her. Ah, yeah, I think&
Another thrust and retreat. We were right& here.
He kissed her.
She came a few minutes later, her whole body exploding with pleasure, and he was there, right
there with her. Holding her tight.
Loving her.
Epilogue
Victor hurried away from Saxon s door. He knew the sound of a man who was busy& and a huge
part of Victor envied his brother.
Saxon was a lucky bastard. Elizabeth knew all of Saxon s secrets, and she didn t care about his
past. The darkness he carried didn t bother her at all. In fact, she seemed drawn to him because of it.
Maybe one day he d find a woman like that.
Instead of the women who just tried to kill him.
A waiter walked by and Victor snagged a glass of wine. He hadn t told Elizabeth or Saxon about
Luther, well not about the fact that the psycho was Elizabeth s father. He figured they d both been
through enough hell without dropping that particular bombshell into their lives.
And finding out that her father had been the one to cause her mother s death? No, that was shit that
Elizabeth didn t need to know.
Elizabeth was family now. Soon to be his sister-in-law. It was Victor s job to protect her.
She doesn t need to know. The truth will only hurt her.
So he d add that secret to the dozen others that he kept, and he d hope that those secrets never, ever
made it to the light of day.
Because if they ever did, he knew there would be hell to pay.
