back and growled through gritted teeth, “Princess!”

They awoke several hours later entangled in the sheets and each other.
“ Wow.” Tate looked down at her auburn head on his bare chest. “I thought it was a dream.”
S he propped herself up on her folded hands, resting her chin on them over his chest. Damn, she was gorgeous.
“ No, it wasn’t a dream. Neither was me saying yes to your proposal. So, there’s no backing out of it now, buddy.”
His heart slammed into his chest. “What made you change your mind about me?”
Shrugging, she grinned. “I had some sense talked into me.”
“Who? Did you call someone other than Jefferson?”
“Nope.” She straddled him and kissed him. “My mother seems to think you are perfect for me.”
“ Huh?” He had to have heard her wrong, but right now, he really didn’t care. She slid her hot, wet center over his raging hard-on.
She laughed at him. “My mother’s ghost visited me last night. She helped me realize I’ve been a complete idiot. Soul mates can’t be denied.”
Jamie kissed him again, and they both moaned as he easily slid into her. As she rocked her hips in a slow sultry rhythm, they were soon carried away again.
A few hours later, h unger finally forced Tate to leave the bed.
Jamie crawled out after him. “I think I’ll draw a bath.”
“Sounds good. I’ll bring in whatever I find.”
“ The hunter has returned successful.”As he walked into his bathroom with a package of Oreo cookies and a bottle of red wine, Jamie bent over the large sunken tub filling with water. She was hot as hell wearing one of his shirts.
She glanced over her shoulder at him and chuckled as she stood up, shaking the water from her hand. “You realize how silly you look with that grin plastered all over your face?”
He set the cookies and wine on the marble edge of the tub, then took her into his arms. “What silly grin?”
She threaded her hand into his hair. “The I’m-so-in-love-grin.”
“ Ah.” He moved his hands from around her and began to unbutton the shirt. “Get used to it because, Jamie Raines, I am so in love with you.” He kissed her and wanted her all over again, forgetting all about the hunger for food. “I think the water is good,” he said in a deep whisper as he slid the shirt off her shoulders. “Let’s try it out.”
“I thought we were going riding horses up the mountain today?” She kissed his neck.
He picked her up and brought her legs around his waist. She moaned as his cock touched her. He climbed into the tub with Jamie straddl ing him. As he thrust into her, he said near her ear, “Wouldn’t you rather ride a cowboy.”
“Oh, yeah.”
Chapter 8
The last night at the resort, Tate and Jamie went to dinner. Jamie wore the royal blue gown, knowing how much he’d liked it in the store. He asked to be seated in one of the private tables in the back. Candlelight glittered on the silver and crystal, and fresh flowers gave a sweet fragrance to the air.
After their meals were served, Jamie lifted her wine glass to take a sip. She hadn’t ever been so happy and it was all because of the man sitting across from her. “So, what exactly was my birthday gift?”
Tate stopped chewing and looked at her.
She’d bet the ranch he hadn’t expected to be asked that?
She smiled and set her glass on the table. “What exactly was my gift? Was it the clothes, the trip itself, or was it you?”
Grinning, Tate took a sip of his wine and wiped his mouth on the cloth napkin. He reached into a pocket of his jacket and pulled something out.
He looked at the object with eyes glowing in the candlelight, then met Jamie’s gaze as he turned the object toward her. “Actually, I hoped to give you this.”
She gasped when h e opened the jewelry box to reveal a beautiful antique diamond ring.
“I know I asked you the other night, but I... Well, want to make sure. You weren’t thinking clearly then.”
“I told you
