reminded him.
He ran his lips over her mouth. “Then you’ll have to be extra quiet.”
She purred against his tongue. “Take me inside.”
Gage scooped his arms under her legs, and kicked open the front doors. He carried his mate over the threshold. They were bonded in ways only they understood and felt. By the end of this night, he knew there would be one more link connecting them for the rest of their lives.
He nodded at Jenny and Sara as he marched through the lobby. Their eyes were wide. He started for Avery’s apartment behind the office. She giggled in his arms.
“You realize you’re going to have to meet my father.”
“Your father?” He stopped.
Her eyes slanted to the side. “Yes. Is that a problem?”
“He’s not coming back tonight is he?” Gage winked.
Avery slapped on the chest. “No.”
“Then, no, it’s not a problem. I’m happy to meet your father. After I have more time with you.” He planted a rough kiss on her lips. He took a step toward the office door.
“No, wait. Grab the keys for 409.”
“What’s that?” He stopped in front of the key box.
She smiled. “The bridal suite.”
He laughed. “Are you sure we should be allowed in there?”
She lifted the key from the loop and held it in front of him. “I’m not telling our children they were conceived in the woods.” She puckered her lips together. “The bridal suite sounds more romantic.”
“Can we order food from there?”
She nodded.
“And alcohol?”
“Oh yes.”
Gage tapped the elevator button and hit the light for the fourth floor. “You know I’m not letting you out of there.”
He saw the wonder in her eyes. “You aren’t?”
He shook his head, careful not to let the doors hit her when he stepped onto the fourth floor. He paused in front of the door of the suite.
“All I can think about right now is stripping you down and taking you every way you want. And then every way I want.” His eyes hooded with lust. “And then I’m going to do it again.”
The key turned in the lock and he shoved open the door. He walked to the bed and dropped Avery in the center.
“What are you doing?” She watched as he searched the closet and the dresser.
“Ah-ha.” He held up the sign.
He opened the door and hooked “Do Not Disturb” on the outside. He clicked the deadbolt in place, and peeled his T-shirt over his head.
“Are you ready for your honeymoon to start?”
She bit down on her bottom lip as he pounced on the bed. “Oh yes.”
He pulled her under him, inhaling every part of her. He had been broken. He had been clinging to the darkness. But Avery had changed all of that. There was a part of his soul that could never be touched. The part that would always be a Green Beret. The part that had survived the attack in Razastan. But there was a new light in his soul, and it started with Avery.
He knew now it wasn’t a punishment to survive. It was a gift. And he wasn’t going to waste it in the darkness.
