“Let me getthat for you.” Turning her around, he unhooked the tiny buttonsof her wedding dress and took it off her. “I was thinking wecould both do with some sleep tonight-”

“Not a chance.”Turning around, she stepped out of her shoes and stood there wearinga sheer white lace teddy that showcased her gentle curves. “Iknow what you are doing?”

“What am Idoing?”

“I told you Iwas tired, and you are trying to get me to sleep.”

“Is thereanything wrong with that?”

“Yes. Tonightis our wedding night.”

“We will haveother nights.” Stepping back, he began to take off his clothes.

“Not like thisone. It’s our wedding night, and I intend to make love with myhusband.”

He went still andstopped in the middle of taking off his underwear.

“Say it again.”He whispered hoarsely.

“My husband.”A seductive smile touched her lips as she bridged the gap betweenthem and slid her hands into the waistband of his boxers. Reachingin, she lifted her brows. “What have we here?”

“I believe itis-” He forgot what the hell he was going to say when shewrapped her fingers around the swollen head of his shaft.

“Lost yourvoice, darling?”

“Yes. We goslow.”

“As slow as youwant to.” She promised. She let go of him, shimmied out of theflimsy material, and climbed into bed. Getting rid of his underwear,he joined her, reaching for her immediately. “Hi, love,”he whispered against her mouth.

“Hi darling.”her arms came around his neck as she sunk into the torrid kiss.

“What happenedto taking it slow?” She murmured when his mouth slid from hersto trail a blazing path up her cheek and then to her chin.

“We arepracticing restraint.” he plucked the nipple gently beforerolling it between his teeth.

“Oh. Landen.”She breathed, her body arching towards him in eager anticipation. Hismouth drifted down her stomach, where he lavished attention on theslight bump that was his baby nestling inside her.

“I don’tcare if it’s a boy or a girl. I am going to love our childwhatever the sex,” Lifting his head, he stared at her, greeneyes smoldering.

“Is that so?”She whispered, already on fire for him.

“Yes.”Bending his head, he resumed the journey down to the apex of herthighs, kissing the soft, downy hairs covering her sex until he wasusing his tongue on her swollen flesh.

“I can’t.”Her fingers tugged at his hair, her knees lifting and movingrestlessly. When he plunged his tongue inside her, the scream thathad been trapped inside her throat escaped and echoed around the roomas the climax slammed through her viciously.

Her body was stilltrembling when he moved over her, sliding himself into her wetwarmth. “My wife,” he whispered raggedly, feeling herenveloped him completely.

His heart wasthundering inside his chest, his body so heated that he could barelystand it. “My love.” He kissed her forehead, her eyelids,her cheek, and the tip of her nose. “My life.”

Her arms came up towrap around his neck as she moved her hips. A groan escaped him, andhe could not help but move. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

“You won’t.Don’t stop.” She was mindless with passion, her fingersdigging into his back and shoulders.

“I couldn’t.”Burying his lips on hers, he drove his tongue into her mouth, hisbody moving into her relentlessly. The control was already intatters, and he could feel the strain of holding back working throughhim. But he wanted her to feel the pleasure again before he erupted.

He was rewarded whenhe felt her stiffening, her body arching. Swallowing her moans, heheld her hips as his thrusts deepened and quickened. The climax hadher tearing her lips from his and sinking her teeth into his skin asthe waves tumbled all over her.

He followed her inminutes, his body shuddering, heart pounding until he could barelyhear anything else. Tangling his fingers in the strands of her hair,he mashed his forehead against hers as he fought to regain control.
