Fireproof (Book 4 in the No Control Series)

Liz pauses at the bedroom door. She watches quietly as Liam gets dressed for their night at the cottage.
My God, he’s handsome. Liz thinks as she admires his profile; strong, sharp jawline covered in manly whiskers, perfect, plump lips, dark, sweet eyes, and his hair grown out to just the length she likes. She then takes in his long, muscular body.
Liam looks up, discovering Liz watching him. The sparkle in his eyes as his mouth curves into a smile causes Liz’s heart to explode with emotion.
“Hey, Beautiful.”
“You look so incredibly handsome tonight, Baby.” Liz says as she walks towards him.
Liam’s cheeks turn pink. “Thank you, Love.”
“I’m going to get dressed.”
Moving in close, Liam says, “Need some help?”
Liz smirks as she moves in to kiss him. “No, I prefer you help me with the undressing later.”
“Mmm, my favorite part.” He winks.

Liam waits in the living room with the kids and Rosa while Liz finishes getting ready. Ella looks behind him. “Mummy.”
He stands, turning, he sees his bride enter the room. Everyone can hear his breath catch loudly.
“Daddy, are you alright?” Ella asks.
He bends down to her level. “Yes, Ella. I just love your beautiful mummy so much, that sometimes it takes my breath away.” Liam stands, approaching Liz. “You look absolutely perfect.”
Her eyes glint with a mixture of love and want. “Thank you, Handsome. I love you.”
Liam beams. “I love you more.”

After all the goodbye hugs, Liz and Liam make their way to the cottage. Instead of going in straight away, they take a walk around the property.
“Thank you for arranging this for us tonight, Liam.”
“You’re welcome, Love. I was just being selfish, I wanted you all to myself.”
She smiles. “After all the craziness, we deserve some time alone.”
Liam stops, squeezing Liz’s hand. “Speaking of the craziness...I’m sorry I wasn’t more supportive of you. I realize now that you were trying your best not to hurt anyone.”
“You were incredible, Handsome. You trusted me and allowed me to handle it how I thought was best.”
“This is going to sound strange, but if I couldn’t be with you, I’d want Harry to be...because I believe that he does truly love you.”
“Liam…”
“I feel bad for him actually. I can’t imagine loving you and not having you.”
Liz catches the sparkle of tears in his eyes. “Liam, it’s sweet that you have empathy for Harry. You don’t have to worry though, because you and I are going to be together forever.”
Liam leans down. “I love you so damn much, Liz.”
She feels the tight squeeze around her heart. “I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love you, Liam.” She smirks. “But I can show you. Come on, Handsome.” Liz wraps her arm around his waist. Liam snakes his arm across her shoulders, pulling her close as they walk to the cottage.
Once inside the cottage, Liam starts a fire while Liz lights several candles.
Liam takes her hand leading her to the sofa. He sits and pulls her into his lap. Gently running his fingers through Liz’s hair; allowing his hand to rest there as he kisses her. His lips taking her top lip between them, then quickly moving back in for her bottom lip. He pauses to look in her eyes before trailing kisses down her neck to the exposed skin on her shoulder. He takes his time with sweet, small kisses to the base of her throat then back up again. He loves to hear the soft, happy moans escaping her.
Looking into her eyes, he tells her, “I would never let anyone take you from me, Beautiful. I would fight for you until the end. You are my everything.”
The deep, raspy, virile sound of his voice causes a heat to burn down low in Liz. The sexy way he says he would fight for her only fuels her desires.
She moves to straddle Liam, immediately feeling the already evident want he has for her. Her slow, rhythmic movements against him, causing low, deep growls.
Liz smirks. “I’m not sure there is anything I enjoy more than making you growl like that.”
Liam kisses her, biting her bottom lip as he pulls back. “Wanna know what I enjoy?” He asks before moving his hand down between them. Pushing aside the red lace of Liz’s panties, finding her wet and ready for his touch. She is so receptive to him as his fingers stroke her perfectly.
She looks at him, finding a satisfied smile on his face as her own waves of satisfaction roll through her body. She screams out his name.
He stands, carrying her still shuddering body into the bedroom. Liam sets her on the bed, unzipping her dress then pulling it over her head.
Liz reaches out, unzipping his pants, touching him and causing him to gasp. She stands, removing his shirt then leading him to the overstuffed chair in the corner of the room. Kneeling in front of him, Liz looks up, smiling at the anticipation in his eyes. They’ve been together for so long now that she knows exactly what he likes. Liz looks up often, finding that incredible look of pleasure on his face. She continues until he’s crying out her name.
She gently climbs onto his lap, laying her head against his bare chest. His heart racing as he wraps his arms around her. “You’re incredible, Liz. I love you.”
“I love you more, Liam.”

After a rest period, Liam leads Liz to the bed. They make love, slowly, perfectly. He skillfully teases Liz’s familiar body, inciting a level of ecstasy she’d never known before Liam. When he enters her, she is beyond ready. She tightens against the intimate, now familiar fullness.
They lock eyes as Liz comes undone, Liam following right behind her. He continues to kiss her lightly, before separating from her. Laying side by side, facing each other, they profess their love for each other.
They just start to drift off to sleep as Liam’s cell rings. They both sit bolt upright. It’s Rosa’s ringtone and she would only call if it was an emergency.
Liz can hear the strain in Liam’s voice. “We’ll be right there. Have Antonio get the car ready.”
