“I do love your naps, Shelby Lynn.”

Her lips curved into a smile, and then she peppered his chest with kisses.

Avery ran his fingers through her long blond hair, determined to give her everything she deserved. He had no doubt that she loved him with her full heart and soul. She showed him that every day in a million little ways. Whether it was serving him a perfect cup of coffee fixed just the way he liked it or picking up his shirts from the dry cleaner or... Ah, fuck... She gave one hell of a blow job.

He was tempted to let her finish him off, but he needed the connection to her. He needed the reminder of who he loved and who he’d vowed to spend his life with. Giving a gentle tug on her hair, he said, “Sugar.”

She tightened her lips on his cock and gave a final deep suck that was nearly the end of him. “Yes?” Her innocent expression made him groan.

“Come here.” He helped her get settled on top of him. Then he reached around to unhook the bra she’d left on because she was self-conscious about her blossoming breasts. They fell hot and heavy into his waiting hands. He ran his thumbs over her nipples, which were more sensitive than ever, and she jolted from the sensation. “Take me in, sweetheart. Ride me.”

She was so wet and hot and tight. God, it was heaven to be inside her.

Grasping her hips, he tried to control her, but she wouldn’t cede to him. Instead, she flashed a wicked smile that let him know she planned to torture him. He loved her like this, uninhibited, smiling, her eyes dancing with joy and looking at him with so much love. It was humbling to know that she loved him as much as she did, and after fighting so hard to win her over, he wouldn’t do anything to dim the light that shone so bright inside her.

The thing with Sam was ridiculous. He’d be the first to admit it. His reactions to her were involuntary, so how could he be held responsible for feeling the way he did? This, right here, was his real life. Shelby was his real life, and as she rode him to an explosive orgasm, he vowed to keep his focus where it belonged—right here at home with her.

Her pussy tightened around his cock, milking a second wave of pleasure from him as she came hard, her head falling back and her breasts flushing with a rosy glow. She was so sexy, so sweet and adorable. He loved her. He truly did. And as she collapsed onto his chest, he told her so.

“Love you too,” she whispered. “So much.”
