CHAPTER 26
Dylan
I knew I was running out of time, but I still had no idea how to start the discussion I needed to have with Kylie.
We’d been in London for six days, but neither one of us had broached the topic of our future together.
We’d frolicked all over London together, locked in a bubble of happiness I hadn’t wanted to pop.
It wasn’t like I planned on letting her get away.
Kylie Hart was mine.
She’d stay mine.
We just needed to work out…the details.
“Oh, my God, this is heaven on a spoon,” Kylie said with a sexy moan.
I couldn’t help but smile when I watched her eyes close as she took another bite of her sticky toffee pudding.
We’d decided to stay in this evening because we were both knackered from running around London from morning until evening every day.
I’d had a chef cook our dinner, with a special request for dessert.
I’d just brought the pudding out to the dining room table a few minutes ago.
“I did promise you that I’d find you a good sticky toffee pudding,” I reminded her.
“Why don’t we have this stuff in the States?” she said, sounding unhappy because it wasn’t routinely on every menu back home.
I’d devoured mine already, but Kylie was savoring hers in small bites, like we didn’t have more in the kitchen.
I watched her from my seat in the chair across from her, taking in every nuance that crossed her beautiful face.
I loved the fact that even small things absolutely delighted her and that she nearly always found something to marvel over wherever we went.
There wasn’t a single thing I did for her that she didn’t notice or that she didn’t thank me for profusely.
In some ways, I really hated that because it told me that very few people in her life had ever done anything for her or appreciated her.
By the time she was finished, she had leveled me with a glorious smile that felt like a sucker punch to my stomach.
Christ! Would there ever be a time when she smiled at me like that, and I wouldn’tfeel like someone had knocked the wind out of me?
Little by little, Kylie had managed to chase out most of the remaining darkness in my soul, leaving nothing but her luminous essence behind.
Whether we had the discussion about geography and those other details, she at least knew that we were going to be together and stay together, right?
Really, how could she think otherwise?
This woman was part of me.
I didn’t want to sleep a single night without her warm, soft body cuddled up to mine.
I didn’t want to spend a day in this house without her here.
I didn’t want to eat a meal without her sitting at the table.
