always
have
and
always
will,
and
more
than
anything,
I
want
you
for
my
wife.
Will
you
marry
me?”
“Oh,
Dare,
I
love
you,
too,
and
yes,
I
will
marry
you.”
She
automatically
went
into
his
arms
when
he
leaned
forward
and
kissed
her.
His
kiss
started
off
gentle,
but
soon
it
began
stoking
a
gnawing
hunger
that
was
seeping
through
both
of
their
bodies
and
became
hard
and
demanding.
And
then
suddenly
Dare
broke
the
kiss
as
he
stood
and
Shelly
found
herself
lifted
off
the
sofa
and
cradled
close
to
his
body.
While
she
slowly
ran
her
lips
along
his
jaw,
the
corners
of
his
mouth
and
his
neck,
he
took
the
stairs
two
at
a
time,
his
breath
ragged,
as
he
carried
her
to
his
bedroom.
Once
there,
he
placed
her
in
the
middle
of
his
bed
and
began
removing
his
shirt.
Her
mouth
began
watering
as
he
exposed
a
hard-muscled
chest.
All
the
other
times
since
she’d
been
back
they
had
made
love
in
the
dark,
and
although
she
had
felt
his
chest
she
hadn’t
actually
seen
it.
At
least
not
like
this.
It
was
daylight
and
she
was
seeing
it
all,
the
thatch
of
hair
that
covered
his
chest
then
tapered
down
into
a
thin
line
as
it
trailed
lower
to
his…
She
swallowed
and
realized
that
his
hand
had
moved
to
the
snap
on
his
jeans.
He
slowly
began
taking
them
off.
She
swallowed
again.
Seeing
him
like
this,
in
the
light,
a
more
mature
and
older
Dare,
made
her
see
just
how
much
his
body
had
changed,
just
how
much
more
physical,
