CHAPTER TWELVE

Liane

When I awoke, Hawk was lying on his side, his head balanced on his hand, his eyes watching me. He smiled, and I felt a light happiness fill the room.

“You aren’t afraid of morning breath?” I asked him.

“Not in the least,” he laughed and smacked me on the rump before he slid off the bed and headed to the kitchen.

“Are you making tea?” I called after him.

“Nope. Coffee.”

“Could you make me some tea?”

“Nope. Coffee. You’re the tea maker in this house,” he added, and I felt a glow of belonging.

We took our mugs outdoors and sat on a small patio that held only one chair, so I sat on his lap. “Why just one chair?”

“There’s only one of me,” he answered, and I recognized in his words the defensive posture he had determined for a lifetime. He must have realized how that sounded, because he added, “We can get a second one if you insist, but I kinda like you here.”

I licked the cream cheese I’d smothered on a bagel from my thumb and set the mug down. “Well, it’s up to you,” I taunted him and leapt off his lap before he could grab me. He came after me, laughing and scooped me up into his arms. I wrapped mine around his neck and kissed him hard on the lips. He pulled back his head, and there was a very serious look on his face.

“I want you,” he said.

My shoulders drooped a bit as I realized the effect I’d had on him. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be a tease. You just made me happy.”

“I’m not talking about sex, Liane. I want you. Forever. Here. With me. I want you to marry me.”

I realized he wasn’t teasing. And it felt right. So very right. I couldn’t stop myself from nodding.

He dropped me to my feet and lifted my chin to look up at him. “Are you serious? Will you marry me?”

“Are you seriously asking me?”

“Sweet Jesus!” He picked me up in a bear hug and swung me around until I threatened to lose my breakfast. “When?”

“When will I lose my breakfast?”

“No, silly. When will you marry me? How soon?”

“Do you mean to tell me, Hawk Sansabri, that you aren’t going to give me a proper courting? You’re not going to take me to dinners and picnics and movies and for long rides in the country? You just want me to drop everything and marry you this minute?”

“Yes.”

“Okay.” The look on his face told me he was overjoyed. “Hawk?”

“Yes, my darling?”

“Slow down. There are two things that have to take place first.”

His face fell. “Such as?”

“Number one, you must properly ask my dad for my hand. That’s a token of respect, and it’s simply the way it’s done. You can have him on your side or make an enemy for life, but respect makes the difference.”

“That’s no problem. Let’s go now.” He pulled me by the hand toward the drive.

“Not so fast. The other thing is we have to straighten out the mess with your past.
