I wake deliciously sore in all the places a woman wants to be sore. Gage has always been a thoughtful lover. Thoughtful but dominant. He can’t help it. He owns that kind of powerful personality, which led him straight to the brothers. To the Lords.

Huh… That’s something to consider.

A long morning stretch as I lay naked next to my sleeping man is all it takes to acutely remind me of all the new ways he’d shown medominantlast night.

He’d blindfolded me and ordered me to keep my hands on the headboard. I felt his heat lean over me and then frigid wet touched my nipple. My body shrunk from the cold and my hand instinctively slid to soothe the spot.

“No,” Gage ordered. “Move your hand again, we quit and go to sleep.”

Sleep? There was no way I could sleep. “Don’t stop,” I pleaded. “I won’t do it again.”

“Good girl.” It was a patronizing response, but as I was too turned on to force the issue and risk losing access to his gorgeous long, thickened cock, I kept my mouth shut.

Gage kissed my sealed lips, slow and sensual. It felt as if he asked for entrance there even as he took it.

When he pulled back, the ice hit my nipple again. My arm jerked in response, but I didn’t move. Then the stiffened peak got his warm, moist mouth.

I groaned.

He pulled away again and I braced for the freeze against that spot when it hit the seam of my sex. My thigh muscles contracted, but learning, I didn’t move. Instead pulling in a sharp, harsh breath.

As my reward, his tongue moved to lave along the ice trail. My thighs ached to open wider for him. I groaned louder. The ice hit the sensitive skin under my ear. His kisses moved there as his finger hit my center, pressing and rubbing gently and then…oh, god. The ice moved to my second nipple. My entire body began to vibrate. Need for release, need for Gage took over all extraneous thoughts.

He aligned himself and slammed into me at the exact moment a fresh cube of ice hit the overly sensitive nub at my center. No longer able to hold back, my body seized up tight and I came and came all over Gage as he continued to expertly pummel my sex, and I screamed out my pleasure. Without pausing, he quickly covered my mouth so we wouldn’t wake the whole floor.

And that was only the beginning.

The man was relentless, taking liberties with my body that no man had ever taken before, and he wouldn’t let up.

It’s not like I didn’t know what he was doing, replacing a bad memory from earlier in the day to give me something wonderful.

“Morning.” His words startle me as those gorgeous baby blues stare deeply and lovingly into mine and his bright smile hits those eyes, looking like they hold a secret only he and I share. The ache from last night fades, replaced by a savage want.

He only lets me take control for a few beats before he flips us, so I’m faced down under him.

“Love you, Gage.” I moan as he works my body so thoroughly I could almost forget that damn Michael wrecked my home. Almost.

Much later we head to the electronics store for an inexpensive laptop for Gage to use so he can keep up on his businesses back in Kentucky.

Once we’re back in the relative seclusion of the hotel room, he sets it up and has spreadsheets open, using the hotel’s Wi-Fi to access his files.

I watch him for a few moments before I move to the kitchen to prepare us lunch when the phone rings.

Smitty. “Hey, old man,” I chirp cheerily into the receiver, so cheerily he probably wouldn’t suspect my life had been turned upside-down yesterday.

“You sound in good spirits.”

“I’m… I’m just glad to have Gage back.”

“Well, I wanted to let you know we got the guard now. So whenever you’re ready, you can come back to work.”

Work. I miss working. I miss seeing the friendly faces every day. “I have to talk to Gage about it. We, um… had another setback yesterday.”

“Setback?” Smitty almost shouts. “What kind of setback?”
