  “Don’t worry,” she said, as she leaned closer. “I know you’ll be gentle.”

  He sighed as he kissed her. “Yeah, but I might hurt you.”

  She laughed as she straddled his hips. “I’ll make sure you don’t.”

  Joy filtered through her and filled her heart. She was still laughing when she kissed him, secure in the knowledge that he was hers forever.

  About the Author

  From an early age, USA Today bestselling author Melissa Schroeder loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her, including her favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.

  Since the publication of her first book in 2004, Melissa has had over sixty romances published. She writes in genres from historical suspense to modern day erotic romance to futuristic and paranormal. In 2013, she made the USA Today Bestseller list.

  Since she was a military brat, she vowed never to marry military. Alas, Fate always has her way with mortals. Her husband just retired from the Air Force after twenty years, and together they have their own military brats, two girls and two adopted dog daughters, and she is happy she picks where they live now.
