“I do.” Her voice dropped to a quiet whisper. “I’ve been waiting to love someone like you for, well, pretty much forever.”
“Someone like me, huh?”
“I think so, yeah. I’ve never felt like this for anyone before. I love you, Benji. I…well,”—she dropped her head and laughed lightly—“Maybe one day it could be you and me here.”
His eyebrows launched high on his forehead as he stared at her. “You mean you and me like marriage?”
“Unless that’s something you don’t want.” Her eyes widened as she stared at him. “I mean, oh God. That was stupid, wasn’t it? It’s too soon to even think about something like that. Oh shoot. Benji, I’m—”
He silenced her with a tender, sweet kiss. Letting his hands fall to her waist, he fisted the fabric of her dress between his fingers and kept her close, pouring everything he had into the lip-lock as Laney sighed against his mouth.
He hoped that one kiss made her as breathless as it made him.
Pulling back a few seconds later, he licked his tingling lips and smiled. “Laney, I’d marry you in a heartbeat, if that’s what you wanted.”
“You would?”
“Definitely. I’ve never felt this way before either. You’re an incredible woman. I hope you know that.”
“Sometimes I do.” She admitted with a small shrug of her shoulders. “Other times, it’s hard to remember. But I promise I’ll do better at it, for you.”
“No, baby. Don’t ever try to do anything because of me. Do it for you. Do it because you know you’re incredible and you deserve everything you want.”
“I want you, Benji. That’s all I want.”
He took her hand into his and lifted it to his lips, kissing over her knuckles. “You’ve got me, Laney, for as long as you want.”
“Forever.”
“Then forever it is.”
