the bed. She completely surrendered herself to him that night, body and soul.
The next day was spent at the mall Christmas shopping.
As they stopped for a hot chocolate break, Chase remarked, “Baby, I know this has been a big adjustment for you, being a newlywed, learning a new job, and taking on two rambunctious kids all at once. Have I told you, I think you’re doing an amazing job juggling it all?”
“You don’t have to tell me. I love it all.” She looked at him happily as she took a sip of her cocoa.
You love it all…but you didn’t say you love me…he pushed the thought out of his mind, as he brought up an idea he’d been planning. “What would you say, to spending the week of Christmas at the beach house, you, me, the kids, your mom and my mom?”
“That’s a fantastic idea. Will Alice and John be there?”
“Maybe part of the week, but they’ll be going to Orlando to spend Christmas with their sons, and their families. We can manage on our own, can’t we?”
“Well of course we can, silly, but I’d like to see them while we’re down there.”
“I’m sure we will. When we get home tomorrow, we’ll tell our mothers, and see if they want to go with us.”
“Okay…sounds great. Now let’s finish up this shopping list. I’m about ready for a soak in the tub.”
“Vanilla bubble bath?” he asked seductively.
“Hmm…well…if you want a replay of that, we’ll have to stop at Bath and Body Works and pick some up.”
“Damn, but you’re sexy, woman.”
“Let’s go, Daddy, we have kids to buy for. You’ll have to contain yourself for a few more hours.”
“I love it when you take charge.”
She smiled, gave him a peck on the cheek, and pushed him out of the café so they could finish shopping.
Three hours later, after making their last stop at Bath and Body Works, they were finally back in their room at the hotel. Sunny kicked off her shoes and lay on the bed.
“That was the best day ever, but I’m beat.”
“You’re quite the little shopper.” He chuckled.
“I didn’t go overboard, did I? It’s my first Christmas with the kids. I just want it to be special.”
“You did fine, don’t worry about that.”
Before Chase had a chance to lay down with her Sunny popped up and went into the bathroom to fill the tub. When the water was the perfect temperature and the bubbles had been added, she peered around the edge of the bathroom door seductively.
“Chase, honey, I’m getting into the tub now. Do you want to join me?”
“What kind of question is that? Of course, I do.” He followed her into the bathroom.
“This time, I’m going to seduce you, Mrs. Dupont.” He began to seductively spread bubbles onto her body, caressing each section, giving his full attention to her.
She laid back and relaxed, giving in to his touch. He kissed her then moving down her body slowly caressed. When he reached her inner thigh, he stuck his head under the bubbles and found the spot he knew would bring her the most intense pleasure. As he worked his magic, Sunny moaned, “Chase…don’t stop.”
He raised his head and moving up, he kissed her. “You want more?”
“I want you…Chase…only you.” She touched him, letting him know what she needed.
He gave her exactly what she asked for, sending her into a spiraling tailspin of sensation. Water and bubbles splashing all around them, they reached the point of no return in unison as he murmured in her ear, “Sunny…you’re my angel.”
Later as the lay in bed watching television, he told her, “You are the most exciting woman I’ve ever been with. Not that there have been that many before you.”
“Really, there haven’t?”
“That surprises you?”
“Yes, it does…you’re…well…hot.”
He chuckled and rolled his eyes. “There you go with that hot thing again. I don’t see where you get that. After all, I’m eleven years older than you. Do you have a thing for older men?”
“Just one older man, but seriously, you really haven’t had many lovers?”
“I told you I dated Brittney off and on for years, during and after college. There were only two girls during the off times and neither one was anything serious or exciting.”
“I’m amazed. I was only with Scott before you, but I assumed you’d had many women. What about Lindy?”
“What about her? She tried to get me to cheat on Brittney with her, but I wouldn’t. Even though Brittney and I were rocky, I would never cheat. And after
