Afterward, he rested on top of her for a long time, breathing hard. When he finally raised his head to meet her gaze, he looked as stunned as she felt.

“I thought we’d done that pretty well before,” he said, “but that… that was…”

“Beyond amazing.”

“Yes.” He kissed her softly, sweetly. “If that’s what married sex is like I can see why Shelby stays so busy.”

Still joined with him, Sam laughed and lifted her legs to wrap them around his hips. “Ready for round two?” she asked in a teasing tone.

“I’ll never survive the honeymoon.” He propped his chin on her chest and looked into her eyes. “Speaking of that, when are you going to tell me where you’re taking me?”

She’d agreed to let him pay for the wedding, but only if she could arrange their honeymoon. All she’d told him was to pack for warm weather. She combed her fingers through his hair, smoothing and soothing. “How does Bora Bora sound?”

His eyes nearly popped out his head. “For real? You’re actually going to spend twenty something hours on a plane? You who hate to fly? I figured we’d go to Bermuda or some place close.”

She’d been in deep denial about the lengthy flights, but once she’d seen the pictures of the remote Tahitian island, she couldn’t image them going anywhere else. Sam swallowed hard. “It’s only thirteen hours.”

Laughing, Nick finally withdrew from her and rolled to his back, arranging her head on his chest. “Have I mentioned lately that I love you, Samantha Holland?”

“That’s Samantha Holland Cappuano, to you, sir.”

He sucked in a sharp deep breath, and the hand that had been caressing her back went still. “What did you say?”

Suddenly filled with shyness that seemed downright silly after what they’d just done, she looked up at him. “I’m still Sam Holland at work, but at home, with you, I’m Samantha Cappuano.”

He cupped her face and kissed her softly. “I didn’t think I could love you any more than I already did, but you’ve made me happier today than any man has a right to be.”

“No one deserves to be happy more than you do.”

“More than we do,” he corrected her.

“I’ll let you be right again since you’re on such a roll tonight.”

His face lifted into a half smile that was so sexy it made her want him all over again.

“You wanna see if that married sex thing was a one-time deal?” she asked.

“Give me a minute to recover, and then we’ll find out.”

She snuggled into him, happier in that moment than she’d ever been in her life. “We’ve got all the time in the world.”
