He emphasizes with his eyes. And I nod, agreeing.
“But I do know that the day I decide I want to get married…you’ll be the girl I’ll be asking.”
The emotion I feel at his words momentarily overwhelms me. My eyes glittering, I say, “I guess we have a lot of amazing things to look forward to together.”
“We do.” He smiles. “There are a lot of things I want to do with you, Firecracker.” His smile transforms into a mischievously sexy grin. “Starting with that quickie in the dark corner.” He grabs me by the hand.

Who would have thought it? The untamable Tom Carter, and me, Lyla Summers, the one who tamed him.
Or what I should probably say is, the untamable Tom Carter who tamed his ways for me.
