She wrapped her arms around his neck. “So, what’s next, Colton Masters?”
He placed a kiss across her lips. “For starters, I don’t plan to let you leave here today.”
She chuckled. “Why? You want me to help clean up the kitchen?”
He grinned. “That’s not a bad idea. Then we can spend the next twelve days making plans for our future,” he said.
Kelly tilted her head back to look at him. “Does that mean you accept my apology?” she asked.
“Yes, and I owe you one as well. I’m sorry,” he said.
“Why?” she asked. “I didn’t give you a chance to tell me anything that day.”
“Still, I should not have given up on you so quickly. I could have given you time to cool off, instead of throwing in the towel so easily. I love you, baby.”
“And I love you, Colton. Now will you tell me what your secret plan was?”
He chuckled. “My secret plan was to convince you to love me as much as I loved you.”
“You succeeded in doing that, Colton.”
“Good.”
When he lowered his face to hers, her lips parted in open invitation. She heard herself moan the moment his tongue captured hers.
After a few minutes, Colton broke off the kiss and began walking with her still cradled in his arms. He smiled down at her when they went back inside the house. “Welcome home, Kelly.”

A blast of water bore down on Colton’s body as he stood underneath the showerhead. He smelled her before he saw her and wasn’t surprised when she asked, “May I join you?”
Throwing his head back, he wiped water from his eyes and saw a beautiful naked woman. His woman. This would be their third shower today. They had made love after their talk by the pond, then after cleaning up the kitchen, they had made love for at least three hours. Then they had showered before they were to leave to go to his parents’ house for lunch. He had been anxious to introduce her to them. They never made it there. Instead, they had called his parents to postpone lunch and arrange to join them for dinner. Then they had gone back to bed to make love again.
“You want some more SS?” he asked, pulling Kelly into his arms.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and joined him underneath the water. “Only because you make shower sex so much fun.”
“I do my best.”
After putting an ample amount of shower gel in the palms of his hands, he lathered their bodies well. Then came the rinse. “Now you’re squeaky clean,” he said, positioning her from the water toward the shower’s tile wall. Lifting her up, he spread her legs and then entered her. Regardless of where they made love or what position they used, nothing mattered as long as he was inside of her, claiming her like this, in the most primitive way. Thrusting in and out while giving her all of him while taking all of her. Three orgasms later, he still wasn’t ready to let up, but knew it was time to take this to the bed…or the chair.
After rinsing them off once more, he turned off the water and grabbed a couple of towels. He dried them both off, wrapping her in one while covering himself with the other.
“Remember, we’re joining your parents for dinner.”
He carried her over to his bed and dropped her in the middle. “Hmm, not today. We’ll see them for breakfast tomorrow. I want you for my meal. Here and now.”
Then he began making love to her all over again.
EPILOGUE
A month later
“I must say, Mr. Masters, you’re one heck of a welcoming committee,” Kelly said to the man lying beside her in bed. The man who’d brought her home from the airport, stripped them both naked, and proceeded to make love to her in a slow rhythm that left her begging for more. He delivered, and she had enjoyed four delectable orgasms. From the feel of the erection touching her thigh, they weren’t through yet. Just taking a pause.
“How did things go in Missouri?” he asked.
“I’m surprised it took you this long to ask,” she said, grinning.
