Cat & Mouse - James Patterson [122]
We kissed and pressed against each other and it seemed as if we were merging, getting closer and closer. I loved the touch of her mouth against mine, the feel of her body, the way we fit. We were both strong, and yet we could be gentle together. I passionately believe in soul mates. I guess I always have. The best thing I had ever done in my life was to be in love. I missed it and was finally ready to love again.
“I missed you too much this time,” I whispered against the softness of her cheek.
“I missed you,” she said. “That’s why I couldn’t sleep. I knew you would come.”
She’s the one, I was thinking. I didn’t have any doubt of it.
Heart leads head.
I cupped her face gently in my hands. She felt so precious to me.
“I love you more than I ever loved anything in my life. I love you so much. Marry me, Christine.”
