His movements were rough and fast, taking me hard, exactly the way I loved. My eyes closed, and I felt everything. The stretch of my pussy around him. The pleasure of being filled. The possessive grip of his hands. The delicious friction. It was so much. So overwhelming and perfect that I let my orgasm consume me.
With one final deep thrust, he came hard, too. We clung to each other as aftershocks rolled through us both. In moments like this, it was hard to believe we’d had such a rocky start. I tried not to dwell on it. The missteps of the past didn’t matter anymore. There was only a bright future ahead of us now.
We finished our shower and got ready for the art show. We were cutting it close on time, but we managed to get out the door on schedule.
“So, how did the meeting with my father go?” I asked as Liam drove us to the gallery.
He’d spent the past few days with my father, hammering out the final details of a new contract necessary to keep GalvaTech going. I hadn’t been involved in the negotiations—conflict of interest, given my relationship with Liam—but I was dying to know what they’d decided.
“We signed the new contract today,” Liam said. “Your father drives a hard bargain. He got me to agree to invest another three million in the company.”
His eyes flicked to me, and I smiled. I knew the truth behind that “hard bargain”. Liam cared about the businesses he invested in. And I was a huge part of the reason he was pouring more money into GalvaTech instead of walking away like Simon had wanted. Liam knew what the company meant to me. What my family meant to me. So he wasn’t abandoning us, despite what Parker had done.
“That brings our total investment to seven million,” he continued. “The agreement is that when the EV charger launches—and it will be successful—we’ll be paid back over a five year period. Other than that, it’s going to be an equal partnership.”
I placed my hand on his thigh and squeezed. “You’re my hero, you know that?”
He flashed me a teasing smile. “You’re going to make me blush.”
“I’m serious, Liam. You didn’t have to do this. You could have walked away, protected your investment, moved on to the next opportunity.” I turned in my seat to look at him properly. “But you didn’t. You stayed. You believed in us. In GalvaTech and my family, even after everything with Parker. That means more to me than I can say.”
He reached across the console and threaded his fingers through mine. “I stayed because I believe in the product. The charger is going to be revolutionary.” He glanced at me, his expression tender. “And I stayed because I love you. Your dreams are my dreams now, Morgan. Your family is my family. This company matters to you, so it matters to me.”
My throat tightened with emotion. “How did I get so lucky?”
“Pretty sure I’m the lucky one.” He brought my hand to his lips and kissed the back of it. “You put up with me and my workaholic habits. You forgive me when I screw up. You challenge me to be better.” His voice dropped lower. “And you love me anyway.”
“I do love you,” I said softly. “So much it scares me sometimes.”
He arched a brow. “Good scared or bad scared?”
“Good scared. The kind that means it’s real. That what we have matters.”
“Agreed,” he said, smiling at me.
We arrived at the gallery, and Liam found a parking spot near the entrance. Before we got out, he turned to me.
“Are you nervous about meeting Noah and Fallon, and the rest of my family?”
“A little,” I admitted. “I want them to like me.”
“They’re going to love you as much as I do.” He cupped my cheek, his thumb stroking my skin. “How could they not?”
I rolled my eyes. “You’re biased.”
“Maybe, but I’m also right.” He leaned in and kissed me softly. “Come on. Let’s go admire some art and introduce you to my family.”
The art show had just opened when we arrived, but the gallery was already packed. The space was divided into four large, open rooms with white walls and light wooden floors, a perfect blank canvas for displaying art. Amazing paintings hung on every wall, and several large pieces on easels sat in the center of each room.
According to Liam, Fallon’s work had been Pop Art for years but she’d recently expanded into landscapes, animals, and people. I admired her bold use of color and found myself drawn to a stunning painting of a mother and baby elephant playing in a river.
“She’s quite talented,” I said to Liam, but the person who responded was a woman to my left.
“That’s nice to hear,” she said, giving me a friendly smile. She was pretty with dark hair. “And it’s nice to meet Liam’s girlfriend.”
