“Wow,” she breathed. “You don’t waste time.”

“I know what I want.” His thumb traced her mouth. “And all this time we could have been having sex.”

“We have a lot of catching up to do,” she agreed, bringing her other hand up to his chest, reveling in the hardness of his flesh beneath her palm and hating the clothes barring her from complete access.

“Why don’t we get a new place together?” he suggested, kissing her jaw, her throat, inching toward the collar of her scrubs. “A fresh start for both us?”

“We might as well.” She nodded in approval.

“Some place big enough for all the kids we’re going to have.”

“Kids?” Her heart jumped wildly in her chest. She tugged his face back up.

“Well, yeah, we’ll get married first, of course. But there will be babies, Huntley.”

Tears burned in her eyes; there was no stopping them. She wiped at her cheeks with the back of her hand. She tried to speak, but a broken sob escaped instead.

“This isn’t very romantic, is it?” He frowned as if the idea just occurred to him. “Proposing this way. I should have—”

“It’s perfect.” She sniffed, her fingers curling into his shirt, gripping hard. “It’s beautiful. It’s you. I wouldn’t want anything different.”

“I won’t fail you.” He smoothed a hand over her hair.

“I know you won’t.”

“I’ll try to give you everything, Huntley.”

“Just love me.”

“Done.” He kissed her again, slow and deep and forever.
