Okay, you get it. I’m overwhelmed and getting screwed really, really powerfully. There. Look at me. I can be concise after all.

I mean, sort of, right?

Damn. He feels so good. The orgasm is so powerful and the position makes my typical sense that I have no control feel so much stronger. My body locks up powerfully and releases in a flood of pleasure but I have to say that those feelings of releaselast for what seems like a far shorter time than normal. I mean, it’s like the orgasm is just fucking impossible.

You know how you can tell?

I’m silent.

I mean, I’m totally silent here, and I’m never silent during sex.

But I can barely breathe. I certainly can’t speak or moan. You better believe, though, that I’m screaming on the inside. In my head, I go back and forth between, “Fuck me, Preston! Fuck me!” and, “Stop! I can’t handle it! Too much! Stop!”

Preston’s body on top of me is so profoundly powerful, and when he cums I actually start crying from the intensity. Thankfully, I cry silently and pull him against me so he doesn’t know as he shudders above my bent-in-two body and I cling to him.

And then both of us snap right out of it when the baby starts crying. I giggle and Preston chuckles. “I got her, Babe,” he says.

He pulls out of me, making me feel so empty! Of course, I also feel pretty damned relieved as my body straightens out. He gets off the bed, pulls on his pants, and leaves the room. I roll over lazily and force myself up. I pull on my robe and walk down the hallway to the nursery.

But I stop.

I stop because the nursery door is open and apart from hearing my daughter Sarah cooing as her father rocks her and whispers encouragements, I also hear Joel’s voice. Joel asks a very simple question.

“Is Mom awake, too?”

Mom.

Is Mom awake, too?

I lean against the wall and then rush back to my bedroom because I can’t stop from weeping. I end up running into themaster bathroom and hopping in the shower so I can just let the tears loose. I weep happily and let the water flow over me.

Mom.

Joel calls meMom!

That means I have my perfect husband, my wonderful and powerful panther. I have my beautiful baby girl, too.

And I also have my son.

I’m sure that somewhere in this great big world there’s someone who has a happier life than me but I can’t imagine how in the world anyone could!

No way. My happy ever after is happier than I ever thought it could be.

Didyou enjoy readingSingle Dad Panther's Best Friend Romance? I hope so. I really enjoy writing about the Company 417 firemen shifters. You already know that if you’ve read any of the other books I’ve written. I’m definitely a shifter-loving girl. I don’t just have book boyfriends. I have a menagerie full of them! Bears, wolves, lions, tigers, and those giant majestic dragons! And now, I have a panther, too!

I loved writing about Preston. It’s not surprising that Liz fell for him, is it? I mean, I think any girl can go for a sexy fireman, right? With Preston, Lize gets a sexy fireman but she also gets a sweet, strong, and very manly single father. She also gets a powerful shifter she knows will always keep her safe. For me, what really appeals is Preston’s sweetness. He’s sexy. He’s manly. He’s strong and powerful. But the sweetness is what does it for me this time.

Preston and Liz are well on their way to a wonderful life, aren’t they. I love that they’re both kind of unsure but keep doingwhat they need to do. I love that they just put one foot in front of the other with their journey together. How about you? What did you like about the characters?

Naturally, I fell in love with Preston while I wrote this. That isn’t going to surprise any of you out there who’ve read my other Company 417 books. I fall in love with every sexy shifter leading man I write! I can’t help it and I always imagine I’m the girl, too.

Let’s face reality here: I’m absolutely hopeless when it comes to shifters!

I guess that’s just me. Preston was particularly special because single dads always hold an important place in my heart. I really hope you enjoyed reading about Liz and her panther lover. These two have a really sweet and sexy happily ever after in their future, don’t they?

I’ll tell you one thing right now. I could go for that kind of happily ever after!

If you enjoyed this story, then I think you’ll love the next one.
