“What would I do without you, Emmy?”
“You won’t have to do anything. I swear I’ll never leave you.”
“I hope so. Because everyone might hate me for loving you. I may loose everything I’ve built over the years, but I can take it as long as I have your love. As long as you come home to me every night. As long as we have this.”
And I was so fucking grateful he’d caught me instead of letting me fall.
I sucked in a deep breath, and my heart pounded in my chest. “Yes, because I enjoy hearing it. I like hearing how selfish you are when it comes to me. That you don’t care what anyone will think about us as long as you have me. Until you came along, I’d forgotten what it feels like to be wanted by someone that much for who I am and not what they want me to be.”
“I, Emery Cannon, promise to love you, Abe, with all my heart,” he said softly. “I promise to work hard to make you proud and one day take care of you the way you take care of me now.”
I tore my lips away from his and kissed his cheek, then dragged my lips down his neck. Emery tilted his head back, and the way his body curved into mine was utterly sinful. I caught his thigh and ran my hand up under the shirt-my shirt- and found him naked.
