“Nowhere else on this entire planet I’d rather be.”
“Mmmm,” she said, her bottom snuggling back against his cock, which was suddenly and rigidly erect. “Looks like you brought me a present.”
The unexpected comment made him laugh. “He shows up whenever you’re close by.” He kissed her cheek and every other bit of soft skin he could get to as his hand slid upward to cup her breast. Rolling her nipple between his fingers, he teased it until it was hard and tight. “Guess what was waiting outside the door when I got home?”
“What?”
“Divorce papers.”
“Oh God! Really? They really came?”
“Thanks to Dan and Slim, who flew them over.”
“Oh my God! That’s the best news I’ve ever gotten.” She let out a laugh full of happiness and relief that was infectious. Their wedding could proceed without anything standing between them and happily ever after.
He continued to tease her nipple until she strained against him.
“Owen…”
“Do you want me to leave you alone so you can go back to sleep?”
“Absolutely not.”
“Have I told you yet today how much I love you and how much I can’t wait to be married to you?”
“You just did.”
He slid his hand down her side, over her hip and down her leg until he encountered the hem of her nightgown, which he eased up to her waist.
“Let me turn over.”
“No, like this. Just like this.” Owen removed her panties and tested her readiness, moaning when he found her slick and hot. “Were you thinking about me before I got home?”
“Maybe a little. I kept waking up looking for you.”
Never in his wildest dreams had he ever expected to love a woman the way he loved her. And when she said things like that… “You’ll never sleep without me again.”
“What about tonight? We’re not supposed to see each other before the wedding.”
“Screw that. I’m not superstitious. Are you?”
“I have been in the past,” she said. “I am Irish, after all.”
“And now?”
“Screw it.”
“I do love the way you think, Princess.” Lifting her leg over his hip, he pressed into her slowly and carefully.
She squirmed, trying to get closer. “I’m sort of digging the way you’re thinking right now, too.”
He smoothed his hand down over the bump where their babies were and found the heart of her desire.
She gasped as he went deeper, and her head came back to rest against his shoulder. “Owen, God… Feels so good. So good.”
“For me, too. Nothing feels better than this.”
“And after tomorrow, we get to do this forever.”
“And legally, too.”
“Bonus.” When he thrust farther into her, she groaned. “Speaking of bonus.”
“Every time!” he said with a laugh.
“It’s tradition now.”
“All these complaints… It wears a guy down, I tell you.”
