must’ve been a boxer in his youth.”
She gets on her tiptoes and kisses it. “How many more to go?”
“Ten or so. We’ve weeded out most of them.”
“Any word on Beau’s wife?” I hate the concern in her voice when she asks about Gloria.
“Still nothing. Gloria’s disappeared. Maybe she started a new life somewhere.”
“Maybe.” She doesn’t sound convinced. “She was just so damn … creepy. So convinced.”
“I know.” I kiss her forehead and wrap her in my arms.
“I missed you.” She sighs and leans against me.
“I missed you, too. How was training with Stella?”
“She kicked my ass, as usual. But she said I’m getting better at moving my feet.”
“That’s a big improvement.”
“Thanks.” She laughs. “I think that was a compliment?”
“It was.” I run my hands up and down her back.
“The architect came today, too. She said she thinks she can incorporate our changes, and it’ll take about six months of construction.”
“As long as they don’t dig near the back pasture, we’re good.”
She shakes her head against me. “How did I end up with the most depraved, violent, angry Vinemont on record?”
“Look, darling. I really don’t know how many times I’m going to have to tell you this, but I am extremely lovable.”
She laughs and leans back, inviting a kiss that I’m happy to give. “You’re also the sexiest man I’ve ever met. The sweetest.”
“Sweet, hmm?” I back her against the wall, the tiles still cool despite the warm water. “No one ever calls me that except you.”
“Because no one ever experiences your sweet side except me.” She runs her hands along my chest.
“It’s going to stay that way.” I lift her.
She spreads her legs for me, and I nudge my way to her entrance.
When I slide inside her, she bites my shoulder.
Fuck, yes. I give it to her slowly, moving inside her, feeling every bit of her as I make love to her. The water runs down my back as I thrust and touch and suck. Her body was made for me, mine for her.
I go deep, kissing her mouth as I grind against her clit, our slick bodies sliding. “Do you have any idea how much I fucking love you?” I kiss her throat, running my tongue along it and swallowing the water.
“Make me come, and then I’ll know for sure.”
I grin and lean down to claim one of her nipples in my mouth. I suck and nip at it, then reach down between us and finger her clit.
She digs her nails into my shoulder as I work her, my balls drawing up and demanding I release inside her. But I wait. I give it to her just how she needs it, take her higher and higher.
When I bite down on her other nipple, she comes on an erotic moan, her pussy squeezing me tight as I thrust deep.
“That’s my good girl.” I claim her mouth and groan as I come inside her. Her cunt is still contracting, milking me as I work my hips. “Such a good fucking girl.”
Her toes curl, her body so tight, and then she lets out a breath. “Oh my god,” she breathes.
“Thank you.” I kiss between her breasts, then lick off the water.
She runs her fingers through my wet hair. “Why are you so good at that?”
“I’m good at everything that pertains to you.” I kiss her again lazily, our tongues doing a slow dance with each other.
“You really are.” She nods, then takes my hand in hers. Her engagement ring is covered in droplets, yet still sparkles even in the low light.
“What are you—” I stop talking when she places my hand on her stomach.
“You’re so good at loving me that it looks like we’re going to have to have a shotgun wedding.”
I stare.
I keep staring.
I stare even more.
Mini explosions fire inside me, most of them in my chest. I can’t breathe. Can’t form rational thought.
“But I thought you were on birth control?” That’s all I can think to say.
She laughs, and it squeezes my half-mast cock teasingly. “I don’t know if you remember, but I was in a coma. No meds. And then—” She shrugs. “Then I just didn’t start them up again.”
“A baby?” My eyes feel like they’re watering, but I’m sure it’s just water from the shower spray.
“Our baby.” She squints. “Are you happy?”
“Are you kidding?” I thrust all the way inside her again. “I’m going to be a father. I’m fucking ecstatic!”
She laughs again, sending my cock into full-on fuck mode. I pull out and slide all the way
