“Hey there, Captain,” she says, and she’s holding the keyring I gave her on her fingertip. She drops it on the nightstand beside her.

I chuckle. “Well this is certainly a nice surprise.”

I drop my towel and pounce on my girl. She dissolves into giggles as I dive right for her tits, and she wraps her arms around my neck.

“I missed you, so I thought I’d rectify that,” she murmurs into my hair.

“I’ve missed you, too.” I suck one of her nipples into my mouth, and her body arches off the bed as she searches for friction to relieve the ache pulsing between us.

I don’t waste any time. I slide into her, and we immediately find the beautiful rhythm our bodies have become so accustomed to.

She cries out my name, and I murmur hers into her ear as my lips connect with the sweet skin of her neck as I drive into her addictive, tight body. I could do this all day. I could do this forever.

Iwantto do this forever with her and only her.

That wave of love that’s starting to become familiar to me when I’m around her flows through me, and it’s enough to cause my body to plow into the wall of pleasure.

I grunt out some curse words and her name as I come, and her body tightens around me as she flies over the edge right along with me. When our bodies start to slow, my lips find hers, and I kiss her with all the adoration and love I feel inside me. We kiss slowly, sensually, erotically with our bodies still connected, and eventually I know I need to stop. I need to get dressed. I need to get down to the Strip.

But I never want to leave this bed.

“You need to go,” she says softly as she collapses back, and I climb off her and slide in beside her. “I think I’ll just wait here for you.”

I laugh as I lean up on my elbow and peer down at her gorgeous face. “Aren’t you going?”

“Oh, yeah. I guess I have to.” She rolls her eyes with a laugh.

“I wish I could take you,” I murmur, leaning down to press a soft kiss to her cheek. “I wish you could walk in on my arm and we could go public with this.”

“Aren’t you nervous about that?” she asks, her earnest eyes on mine.

I lift a shoulder. “Any time someone like me goes public with a relationship, it’s a gamble. Most people out there will want to tear us apart, which is why growing this in private has meant somuch to me. It’s why I loved how we first connected, when you had no idea who I was. It made me feel like I could immediately trust you, like you weren’t just saying shit because you thought it was what I wanted to hear.”

She reaches up and runs a fingertip along my jawline. “Even if I had known, I wouldn’t have done that.”

I chuckle. “I know. And that’s why I fell so goddamn hard so goddamn fast.”

“I love you.”

“I love you, too. Now get the fuck out of my bed before I take you long and slow.”

She narrows her eyes at me. “Is that supposed to make me want to get out?”

I shake my head and grin. “Nope. It’s a promise for later.”

She winks at me. “I for one can’t wait.”

She heads home to get ready for tonight, and I fish a suit out of my closet, throw it on, and I’m ready to go in a few minutes. I head over to Mike’s since I’m supposed to arrive with the rest of the group I’ve been working so closely with over the last few weeks, and I find everyone else is already here.

“Why do you look so relaxed?” Troy demands when I walk in last. “You get laid or something?”

Oh Jesus. What the fuck am I supposed to say to that?

Yeah, by your daughterseems inappropriate even though it’s the truth.

“Fuck off,” I say instead. “Are we ready?”

Troy shakes his head and wipes his brow. Wasn’t he sweating earlier today in this same place? I wonder if he’s stopped sweating all day.
