stuck with him, like he’d told her earlier.
“I’ll get up in a second,” he mumbled into her neck, holding most of his weight off of her.
She squeezed him tighter. “I like you right where you are.”
It felt incredible being inside Palmer; on top of her. “I’ll suffocate you if I don’t roll to the side. Besides, what if Hoss wakes up?”
Her swift intake of breath had him pushing up just as she released her hold on him. “He’s still sleeping. You’re screams didn’t even make him stir.”
She slapped his arm. “You weren’t exactly quiet either, mister.”
He bent and gave her a swift kiss. “I know. Once I was inside your tight, wet pussy, there was no way in hell I could control myself.”
Keys gave her another lingering kiss as he slipped from her body. “Be right back.”
“Where are you going?” she asked, her eyes watching him get up.
At the bathroom door, he looked over his shoulder. “I’m going to get a washcloth to clean you up. You’ll sleep better.”
PALMER WONDERED AT her lack of embarrassment. And as he came back several moments later with a washcloth from the bathroom, the monogram from the B&B clearly embossed on it, she had a moment when she thought she should get up and go shower. However, Keys leaned over the edge of the bed, his intent and focus one hundred percent on her. He kissed her once, then quick and efficiently he cleaned her, taking great care.
“Perfect. Now I can get you all dirty again in the middle of the night.” He placed a kiss on her stomach, reminding her of the stretch marks she had there.
Her hand went over them, hoping he hadn’t noticed them.
“You trying to conceal something, baby?” Keys tossed the washcloth into the open bathroom door, his big hand removing hers.
“Whatever do you mean?” she asked, batting her lashes at him.
“Ah, I do love it when you get all southern belle on me.” Keys kissed the marks on her stomach. “These are warrior stripes. You’re a mama who’s a fighter. I wouldn’t care if your entire body was marked with lines, baby. In truth, when you swell with our next baby, I hope like hell you get a few more. I’ll take great pleasure in tracing each and every one with my tongue. I promise you’ll never have any doubt just how sexy I find you.”
When he stood back up, his dick standing long and proud, Palmer wondered how the heck the man was already hard. “Don’t men need like reviving time?”
“I’ve waited years to sink into your body. I guess my dick decided the few minutes it’s been since we left you was enough time. But you can’t handle any more of me right now. You were too tight for what I already did to you.”
“Don’t you hurt if you don’t, you know?” She pumped her hand up and down.
The man just shook his head. “I’m not a boy who can’t handle a little hard-on, sassy girl.”
She moved to sit up, knowing she’d need to put something on for when Jaxson woke up. Being naked in bed with Keys sounded delicious but as a mother, she couldn’t fathom the thought of waking in the middle of the night and trying to dress before going to her son.
“What’s put that pensive look on your face?”
He was so attuned to her. She should’ve known he’d pick up on her emotions. After she bumbled her explanation to Keys, he nodded, then turned toward his duffel. Her heart froze, wondering what he was going to do, praying he wasn’t leaving. When he came back carrying a black button-down shirt, still naked, she couldn’t stop looking at his body. He was perfect from his head to his toes. It didn’t matter that she wasn’t, she was keeping him.
Keys helped her slip his shirt on, working the buttons through the holes. “See, mine is much easier to do than that one of yours.”
She smirked. “I think you’ve just gotten used to yours and maybe worked the holes out more.”
He looked down at his hands, then at her. “Hmm, I will definitely be working on your holes a lot more.”
“Oh, my gawd, you didn’t just say that.” She fell backward onto the soft bed, laughing at his double meaning. Keys, being the completely unabashed man that he was shrugged, but he did slide a pair of boxer briefs on that he’d grabbed when he got the shirt for her to wear. It really should be
