As we’re walking out of the bedroom, I gently push her against the wall. “When we get back, I’m tying you to that bed—”

“I know, I know… For a week.”

“That was before. A week will never be enough for me to get my fill of you.”

She slides her hands up my chest, and to the back of my neck. “How long?”

“As long as it takes. If I were you, I wouldn’t make any plans for the next couple of decades.”

“Decades?” she shrieks.

“I told you, Raven. You’re mine, and that means forever.”

“Forever?”

“Forever.”

There’s something I thought I’d never say to a woman. But here I am. I grab her hand and we hurry down the stairs. Calling Motor on the way, I tell him to meet me at Lonnie’s with a box truck. I’m eager to get back and start on this forever thing.

As I look over at her smiling face, I have a feeling forever still won’t be enough time for me to spend with Raven Alvarez.
