  107. About the Author

Her eyes spring open, and her lips curl into a devilish grin. She shoves me again onto my back. Her nightgown goes flying, and she straddles my hips, her heat engulfing me. She’s perfect, even if she can’t see it. Perfect for me.

“You’re so fucking beautiful.”

Her eyes flare with desire. “You’re pretty hot yourself.”

“Only pretty hot?”

“Okay. Amazingly hot. Will that do?”

I laugh. “It all sounds good to me.”

She rocks her hips. Being inside Delaney is the best feeling in the world. I cherish it every time because I was without her for so long. But now she’s home with me and I should be making the most of this—making the most of her.

I need Delaney more than ever.

Gripping her hips, I pull her down hard, and she leans over, her nipples right in front of my face. Her breathing grows heavy as I suck on them one by one.

“I love you,” she says, but her words are lost when I pull her down to kiss her hard. I don’t let her go, pushing my hips up to meet her. I’m so close, and when she drops her lips to my neck I lose all sense of myself.

My orgasm hits me hard, and I cry out as I come inside her.

Since she moved in, we haven’t been strict on contraception, and maybe it’ll catch us by surprise, but neither of us are too concerned.

She collapses onto the bed next to me.

“You’re not usually that aggressive.” I chuckle.

Delaney snuggles into my side. “You haven’t seen Amelia in nearly a week. We’ve been like two ships that pass in the night. Tonight, I’d just had enough. I need you.”

“I’m doing a terrible job of all this.”

She shakes her head. “This is new for all of us. We’re a long way from where we were at the start.”

I gaze at her. It’s not like the last time; this time she’s not using new for all of us to hide the way she feels. She means it.

“We are, but I need to do better.”

“It’ll balance out. Or you’ll burn out and I’ll end up nursing you back to health.” Her eyes sparkle with mischief, but she’s right.

“You’d make a sexy nurse. Maybe I’ll buy you a uniform.”

Delaney laughs. “I’ll be your nurse. Any time. But please don’t work yourself to that point. You don’t need to, and you know that.” She plants a kiss on my chest. “I’m going to go and clean up. Don’t you dare move or fall asleep.”

“I’ll be waiting.” I grin.

Forty-Nine

Delaney

His stomach gurgles.

I bury my face in his chest and laugh. “You said you weren’t hungry.”

“Only for you.”
