Accelerated Passion (25 page)

“Don’t say but.” He frowned.

“But isn’t it a bit fast? A bit rushed? What will people think?”

“Babe…” He grinned. “Speed is my middle name.”

She returned his smile and cupped his cheeks.

“Life is for living while you’re alive, Frankie. And I want to spend my life with you.”

Her heart had been thudding anyway, now it was going at a super-sonic pace. “And I want to spend my life with you.”

“So is that a yes?”

She nodded. “Yes, that’s a yes.”

He huffed out a breath, like a sigh. “Thank goodness for that. You had me worried for a moment there.”

“Never doubt how much I love you.”

“Ditto. And right now, I’m going to show you just how much I love you all over again.” He turned, still buried inside her and holding her tight. “Though perhaps with a little less speed this time.” He lay her on the bed and settled over her.

Frankie allowed herself to get lost in his kisses, in the feel of his weight and the stroke of his hands. Who would have thought she’d be the one to tame this infamous driver, this man who had the world at his feet and women lining up to throw themselves at him? Certainly not Frankie, and certainly not the gossip magazines, but here she was…about to become Mrs. Dean Cudditch. Not that she’d ever stop being Frankie, the top-class Formula One mechanic, or the girl who liked to fit in with the boys on the team, but now, now she had another, amazing role to fulfill and that was wife to the man she adored and cherished. And from the feel of it, he adored and cherished her in equal amounts.
