“Is that all?” she said with amusement, but something in what he’d said made her pause. “You want kids someday?”
He tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. “Of course. The world needs more of you in it. But I’m telling you right now, I don’t have a clue as to what to do, but I am certified in infant CPR and watched this documentary on whales and their young and how like humans you’re supposed to just support them and teach them stuff and there’s these backpacks you can stick your baby in and just go hiking! So I can take the little thing with me everywhere. A baby backpack, best idea ever.”
She laughed and watched East’s eyes light up when he talked about forever and a family. With her. Like she was a prize and he was excited for their future. Like she was excited every day she woke up next to him.
“I love you,” she said, and kissed him. “Can you do me a favor?” she asked against his mouth.
“Anything, baby.”
“Can you marry me?”
He pulled back enough to look her in the eye. “Yes!” She smiled, and he hoisted her up and set her on the counter. “About damn time, woman,” he said, and then kissed down her neck as he lifted her skirt.
She laughed and kissed him and wrapped her legs around his waist just as he loosened his belt and yanked her close to take him deep. Her whole body was on fire for him, and all she felt was the beat in his heart.
“Love you,” he said, kissing her like crazy and taking her body to the edge of bliss.
“I love you, too.”
