She was an extremely traditional girl. Deep in her bones, she believed in giving her body only to a man worth loving for a lifetime.

That was why he hadn't taken her before, afraid he would let her down.
But now, he was certain. He wanted to be with her, willingly. To have children with her, to grow old until he couldn't walk anymore, and still want to be by her side.
He rested his chin in the crook of her neck, his enchanting voice whispering in her ear.
"Chloe, I want to be with you. I truly mean it."
"Hearing you say that is enough, Boss Ellsworth."

"Boss Ellsworth, you have mine too."
