The bar quieted down, so quietly, it felt as though we were the only two people on the planet.
The moment his lips pulled from mine, his forehead rested on mine, and he whispered, “I love you too, Darling.”
“I need a man,” Talia said as she fanned herself with her hand.
“Same,” Lila said with a small pout.
Everly sighed, “Ditto.”
Carter chuckled then lifted his head, licked his bottom lip, and said, “Go find a table, baby. Finish your girls’ night.”
I really didn’t want to do that.
I wanted to stay right where I was, wrapped up in his embrace.
However, Talia, Lila, and Everly had other ideas.
They both grabbed my arms and hauled me away from him. He smiled and shook his head, then spun in his stool so I was in his line of sight.
It was maybe half an hour later when I heard Lila giggle, then jerk her chin towards the bar.
I saw a woman talking to Carter, trying to lean in.
The keyword in that was trying.
He shook his head, stood, and then said something to her, and pointed right at me, and when he did that, I crooked my finger at him, and said to my girls, “I’m calling it a night.”

“Leave the fucking heels on, baby,” he growled against my lips.
“You like them?” I asked.
“Like them so much I’m stopping myself from going back to the bar and beating the shit out of every motherfucker who saw you in them.”
And at that... my panties got wet.
Needless to say, I planned on wearing heels a little more often.
I was definitely wearing them when he was inside of me, pounding hard and deep.
His moan when he filled me had me digging my heels in his back, as he whispered, “Doing that again.”
I nodded. Definitely.

As my eyes closed, his fingers were running through my hair, and then he whispered, “Love you more than words can say, Harlee Belle.”
I smiled, then snuggled even deeper into his embrace, and murmured, “Love you more than words can say times infinity.”
He chuckled, “Always have to have the last word?”
“Only with you,” I whispered.
He pressed a kiss to the top of my head and said, “Only ever with me.”
That was the last thing I heard before I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face.
