“So do I.” I didn’t know when he’d gotten naked, but he was very much naked when he crawled over me. His searing-hot cock slid through my slick folds. His muscles were tight with tension, but there was such a storm of emotion in his gaze that it brought tears to my eyes.
That’s how deeply he feels for me. Even in a moment as supercharged as this one, I could still see how much I meant to him.
“You’re everything to me, Chris,” I whispered as I wound my fingers together at the nape of his neck and my legs around his hips. “I love you too.”
He blinked way too many times, but then his lips came down to mine. He kissed me with the kind of passion I thought only existed in movies as he sank into me. His hands found mine and held on to them while we lost ourselves in a sea of love and sensation.
When I felt him tense above me, I was right there with him. It felt like even our hearts were beating as one, our bodies so completely in sync that no words or communication were necessary.
When he finally let go, so did I. The orgasm that washed over me was unlike anything I’d felt before. It was better than taking my bra off after a really long shift or ice cream on a hot summer’s day. And the best thing was that it felt like it would never end.
When it finally did, having Chris in my arms, unable to move or speak as we tried to recover, was somehow even better. That was how I knew that I really did love him. I’d just had the most intense, powerful orgasm of my life, and I was glad it was over so that I could have this moment with him.
Love really is crazy sometimes.
Chapter 39
CHRIS
It had been two weeks since the first time I’d told April I loved her, and I still hadn’t really stopped smiling. Hunter looked up from hammering down the last of the flooring at our new practice and rolled his eyes when he saw me grinning while staring at nothing.
“You’re thinking about it again, aren’t you?” he asked.
I nodded. “I can’t help it. I thought reports of realizing that you loved someone, saying it, and hearing it back from that person were grossly exaggerated, but they’re not.”
“Don’t worry. Adi will be a teenage girl soon. You can braid each other’s hair and gush about how amazing it is to be in love.” He smirked. “Are you going to help me finish this up or keep daydreaming about the day you defiled our office?”
“I didn’t defile our office. I christened it. There’s a difference.” I shrugged. “Besides, what this is really about is you being jealous.”
He pretended to flip his hair and stuck his nose up into the air. “As if. You haven’t given me enough details to be jealous. All I know is that you two made up and said the big L-word.”
“That’s all the detail you need. You know I don’t kiss and tell.” I grabbed my hammer and got back to work. “You’ll see when your time comes. You won’t want to give me any details either and I won’t want to hear it.”
He scoffed. “Stop talking like that. My time isn’t coming. I’ve got a business to run, remember? I just need my partner to stop being all starry eyed about his girlfriend and finish installing the floor instead.”
I pointed at the expanse of laminate flooring behind me. “Excuse me? Your starry-eyed partner has done more than half the room.”
“Semantics.” He waggled his brows at me before standing up to examine what we’d done. “You know, if this whole private practice thing doesn’t work out, we can always start a renovating business. We’ve done well here.”
“No thanks.” I wiped sweat off my brow with the back of my arm. “There’d be tools involved. I’d hate to hear the names you could come up with, given that kind of ammunition.”
His eyes lit up. “That’s an excellent point. We could call it ‘Chris and Hunter’s Tools For You’ or ‘Our Tools Are Better Than Yours.’”
“I doubt we’d get much work with those names.”
“Nah.” He grinned. “We’ll market it at women who’ve been trying to get their husbands to start doing all that stuff they’ve been promising they’ll do for six months.”
I laughed, shrugging as I inclined my head. “That might actually work, but
