my body, taking his claim on me. Being selfish. And I loved every rough moment of it.
"Gun," I whimpered, the slaps of flesh nearly drowning out my voice. "I'm gonna come soon."
"Fuck, I'm right there with you, baby." He crashed into me harder, faster, the pleasure white-hot and blinding. "Come on my cock, my sweet little wife."
The way he fucked me drove me to the edge, but his words were the tipping point. I convulsed from head to toe, thrashing to release the pleasure he'd been stoking in me since his first dirty word.
Gunner's hands slapped to the vanity on either side of me with a heavy groan, stroking through the aftershocks as he spilled warmth inside me.
He withdrew from me too soon, sliding my panties back into place and straightening my dress back down over my legs. Ever the gentleman, he pulled me up gently from the counter, straightening the top of my dress and smoothing out my hair with a cheeky grin.
"You good?" he asked with a wicked gleam in his eye.
"Uh, yeah. I think so." My legs were still wobbly, but I could walk without making a total fool of myself.
The grin remained plastered on his face as he threaded his fingers through mine and led me out of the room and to the lobby of the B&B. Jandro and Reaper looked up from the armchairs where they waited.
"You ready?" Reaper grunted.
"Yeah." I was still trying to catch my breath.
Gunner turned to me and placed a slow, smoldering kiss on my cheek. "Have a good morning with the in-laws, baby girl."

MARIPOSA
Reaper’s green gaze burned into me as I stepped off the front porch, my legs just as steady as a newborn deer despite my effort to keep cool.
“Goddamn Gunner,” my husband swore as he threw a leg over his bike. “Get on. We’re gonna be late.”
Jandro just snickered, shaking his head as he eased his ride back onto the street.
My mouth wanted to form the word sorry on impulse, but I had no true desire to say it. I wasn’t sorry in the least. If anything, I was grateful. Gunner had thoroughly fucked the nerves right out of me, leaving me with a relaxed buzz and laid back confidence.
I shuddered at the vibration of Reaper’s bike underneath me, my flesh still tender and sensitive.
“Swear to fuck, sugar, if you come on my seat on the way over there…”
“What?” I pressed when he trailed off, squeezing around his waist.
“I’ll have to pull over and fuck you on the side of the road, that’s what.”
“And ruin my dress right before I meet your parents? You wouldn’t dare.”
“Try me.”
“Hey!” Jandro waved his arms. “Are we goin’ or what?”
Reaper pulled up alongside him, and I fought the urge to grind into the vibrations and bumps in the road. Tempting as his threat was, I really didn’t need to look like we stopped for a roadside quickie. At least Gunner had left me looking mostly presentable.
“Where’s Noelle and Larkan?” I yelled in my husband’s ear.
“She left early to help them set up,” he answered. “Finally came to her senses and left her boy toy behind.”
“Well, that’s good.” Hopefully that would make Gunner feel a little less left out. In the same breath, I slapped Reaper’s arm. “When are you gonna patch him in so they can be official? The Blakeworth mission was over a week ago.”
He gave me a sideways glance over his shoulder. “That’s a conversation for another day, sugar.”
I dropped it, keeping silent until we pulled up to a charming ranch-style home. It didn’t look brand-new, so must have been one of the few structures left undamaged after the Collapse.
Reaper parked next to Noelle’s dirt bike in the driveway, and Jandro next to him. “Need help with those?” I asked, climbing out of Reaper’s seat to lean over Jandro’s saddlebags.
“Nope.” His tone was cheerful as he removed many layers of blankets and padding to reach the gift we brought. “Safe as can be. I got it, babe.”
Reaper took my hand, positioning me in the middle as we approached the front door. “Don’t be nervous,” he said with a brush of his lips to my temple.
I wasn’t, until he said that.
He raised his fist to knock and I pulled in a breath, trying to channel Gunner’s easy confidence and the strength he saw in me.
Noelle opened the door, a drink resembling a bloody Mary already in her hand. “Finally you all made it. I thought my breakfast was gonna be a
