Wynter's Captive by Milly Taiden Page B

tell me you want to marry me, you ask me to marry you.” She pointed to the floor. “On your knees wolf man.”
    He dropped to his knees. Grabbing one of her hands in his much bigger one, he shoved his other hand in his pocket and drew out a velvet box. When he opened it, she lost the air in her lungs. A beautiful antique solitaire sat in the center of the blue, satin-cushioned box. After taking the ring out of the box, he glanced up at her.
    “Were you walking around with that thing in your pocket this whole time?” She gaped at him in stunned surprise.
    “No. When we got back from the cabins I called a jeweler.” He smiled softly. “In case you changed your mind.”
    Her heart melted. Even though she’d told him she didn’t want to see him again, he’d still gone ahead and gotten her a ring. She cleared her throat. “So ask me already.”
    “Lili, will you make me the happiest wolf man in the world and marry me?”
    She dropped down to her own knees in front of him. “Yes, I will.” She allowed him to slip the thin band on her ring finger and smiled. “There are just two conditions.”
    He frowned. “Anything.”
    “No more lying or kidnapping women on the highway. I don’t share well with others,” she growled, pulling him toward her.
    He chuckled, grabbed her waist, and hugged her. “No problem. Those are conditions I’m more than happy to meet. I will never lie to you,” he promised right before he kissed her. Their lips and bodies rubbed together once again. He stood, helped her up, and then lifted her in his arms.
    “Mmm.” She moaned and licked his neck. “Let’s go see how big the bed here is.”
    “Oh, it’s big,” he promised as he stepped toward the bedroom.
    “Then maybe we can tie your ass to the frame this time.” She giggled.
    “Not a chance, sweetheart.”
    “Fine, I’ll let you tie me up again.” She laughed. “But you must make it worth my while this time.”
    “Oh, I intend to,” he promised, lowering her to the bed. “Let’s see how loud you can scream my name.” He chuckled and pulled at the sash tied at her waist.
     

Epilogue
     
     
    “So what did you give them?”
    Lili smiled when Cade twirled her in his arms at the wedding reception for Jay and Brandon. The second wedding reception. The couple decided to try at having a new one to include their maid of honor and new best man.
    “We gave them a trip away from your aunt.”
    She grinned at his thoughtfulness, and at his use of the word “we.”
    “I can see they need it. She’s very good at playing the guilt card and making everyone do what she wants. How does she do that?”
    Lili laughed. “Beats me. I’m her niece, and I still can’t figure that out.” They swayed to the soft sounds of oldies love songs.
    “Should we tell them?” he whispered, smiling down at her.
    She glanced toward Jay and Brandon and grinned. Jaylin’s belly was growing at super-fast speed, and Brandon looked haggard from trying to keep up with all her cravings.
    “No. This is their day. Besides, Aunt Patty would have a cow if she saw my ring and realized I got married and didn’t invite anyone.”
    “Not anyone. Brandon and Jaylin were there.”
    “True. Poor Brandon, I think he’s exhausted.” She giggled when he tightened his hold on her and licked her neck. “Stop that, people are watching.”
    “Fine, but tonight it’s your turn to be slave girl.”
    She licked her lips and ran a finger down his scar. “Does that mean I get to be tied up again?”
    “Mmm. There might be some spanking too. But only if you’re bad.”
    Closing the dancing-decency distance between them, she rubbed her silk-clad body over his and pulled his head down toward her.
    “Oh, I can be bad, baby,” she whispered. “I can be real bad.”
    She licked the shell of his ear and bit down on the lobe.
    He growled, lifted his head, and kissed her. Then he grabbed her hand and hauled her toward the entrance.
    “Where are we going?” She
