Taking a couple of steps, Marcus bent slightly, allowing Millie to climb onto his back.

As she settled herself there, Millie’s arms wrapped around his neck, and she smiled, a secretive expression playing on her face. The feeling of his strong back beneath her fingers was both secure and blissful.

“What?” “Just as you said, ‘how could I refuse to carry you?'”
