“I know,” she assured him, rubbing her hand over his chest. “I love you too.”
“I don’t want to wait.”
“For what?” She let her nails skim over his abs, loving the way they flexed and rippled.
“The wedding.”
“I’ll need at least two weeks. I have to find a dress, arrange for flowers and the church and invite people.”
Levi shifted slightly, drawing her closer. “You want a large wedding?”
She shook her head. “Not large. But we have to invite Shamus and Cyndi and Jonah and Amanda. Probably Patrick and Shannon as well.” She started making a list in her head.
“Whatever you want.” He kissed the top of her head. “As long as it only takes two weeks.”
She grinned, already planning on asking Cyndi if they could have their reception at the B&B. “Don’t worry. I can make it happen.”
He rolled until he was staring down at her. “Thank you.”
“For what?” She sensed the change in him. Whatever he was thinking now was important to him.
“For loving me. For giving me a home.”
Such simple words, but they touched her to her core. “Oh, Levi.” Wrapping her arms around him, she held him tightly. “I’ll always love you.”
He settled beside her again, neither of them speaking. But it was a good quiet, a contented one. Just as she drifted off to sleep, she heard him one final time.
“I love you.” A soft kiss grazed her temple and she was wrapped in the strength of Levi’s body and his love. Content, she drifted off, still making plans for the wedding.
