Edge of Love by E. L. Todd

He’s
adorable.”
    He stared at me. “Do I have some
competition?”
    I smiled. “He’s pretty
cute.”
    He laughed. “My father would blush
crimson red if he thought you had the hotts for him.”
    “ I don’t know why he
picked your mother of all people.”
    He sighed. “I admit that my mom has
been nothing short of a bitch this weekend, but please don’t say
mean things about her. It makes me uncomfortable.”
    My heart ached. “You’re right. I’m
sorry.”
    “ You know I’ll defend you
in every fight. You’re the most important thing in the world to me.
I could live without my family, my friends, money, food, and
shelter, but I couldn’t live without you. I would do anything just
to keep you in my life. I’m wrapped around your finger, Scarlet.
You could treat me like shit and I would still be with you. I love
you so fucking much it hurts. My mother’s opinion about our
engagement has no effect on me. Even if she hated you, it would
change nothing. She can complain about my job, where I live, my
breakup with Penelope, but it doesn’t matter. It pisses me off, but
it doesn’t matter, okay?”
    My eyes softened at his words. He
loved me so much. “Okay.”
    “ In my heart, I know she’s
trying to do what’s best for me.”
I sighed. “I’m sure she is.”
    He rose from the bed. “Now let’s
go.”
    I groaned.
    “ It’s our last night here.
Let’s make the best of it.”
    “ What do you think I’m
doing?”
    He smiled. “I’ll make it up to you
tonight.”
    “ How about right
now?”
    He laughed. “First, you refused to
have sex, but now you want to do it all the time.”
    “ It’s like we’re at
home.”
    “ It’s exactly like we’re
at home.” He came back to the bed and leaned over me. “How do you
want it?”
    “ I want you to go down on
me.”
    His eyes became more intense as he
looked at me. “You’re a whore.”
    “ I know.”
    “ As long as you’re honest
about it.”
    “ But you know why,
right?”
    He pressed his lips against mine then
kissed me gently. “Because you’re only like this with
me?”
    I ran my hands up his chest.
“Yes.”
    He lifted up my dress then pulled down
my underwear. He pulled me to the foot of the bed then lowered
himself to his knees. His lips kissed me gently and I moaned.
Suddenly, he pulled away. “I’m sorry about everything,
Scar.”
    I dug my fingers into his hair then
pulled his face to the apex of my thighs. “Prove it.”
    He laughed. “I will.”
    His lips were on me again. I leaned
back and closed my eyes, enjoying the feel of his tongue pleasing
me. He knew exactly what he was doing and I loved it. Sometimes I
was jealous that he was with so many other women, but when he made
me come hard, I forgot about his past. Now that we’re getting
married, I knew it didn’t matter anymore. He would only make love
to me for the rest of our lives. I clenched his hair harder as he
made me moan. “Sean.”
    He pressed his tongue inside
me.
    I moaned again. “Sean.”
    His thumb rubbed my clitoris while he
gently kissed me, and I felt the flood of emotion surge through my
body, making me shake.
    “ You’re almost there,
babe.”
    “ Sean.”
    “ Your legs are shaking for
me.”
    “ Sean.”
    “ Come on.”
    I gripped his hair and tried to keep
my whimpers down to a minimum. The explosion ran through my body
and made me shake with pleasure. I couldn’t hold back my moan and
it came out louder than I wanted. It just felt so good that I
couldn’t hold it back. “Sean.” When my moment passed, I felt the
sweat on my breasts and the rise and fall of my chest. My body felt
scorching hot and I suddenly felt tired and relaxed. The orgasm
seemed to dull the stress I was feeling.
    Sean rose from the foot of the bed
then leaned over me. “Did you enjoy that?”
    “ You couldn’t
tell?”
    He smiled. “It always works on
me.”
    “ I know it does. I’m going
to be upset more often.”
    “ That works for
me.”
    I grabbed his
