The stubborn man had blown off the expensive gift like it was insignificant, but I knew I was going to cherish that piece of jewelry for the rest of my life.
 
 Go to sleep, Emma, and stop thinking about Colin.
 
 I wanted to do exactly that, but it was hard not to think about him when we were in the same house.
 
 Wren had chosen the bedroom upstairs, but I was downstairs.
 
 In the bedroom next tohis.
 
 I was happy that he was getting to know his daughter, but I really missed the two of us being in the same bed.
 
 We’d had a few stolen kisses when Wren wasn’t close by, but we’d been careful.
 
 She needed some time to adjust to having a father.
 
 But the sudden separation from Colin was killing me.
 
 You’ll live, Emma. Just go to sleep!
 
 I let out a huff of frustration and fluffed my pillow.
 
 I was still wide awake, and I probably wasn’t sleeping anytime soon.
 
 I was a little startled when my bedroom door suddenly opened and Colin strode into the room in his boxer briefs.
 
 He didn’t say a word.
 
 He simply picked me up and headed back toward the door.
 
 “Colin?” I whispered. “What are you doing?”
 
 “Making sure I don’t have to spend another night without you,” he grumbled as he entered his room, closed the door with his foot, and dropped me gently onto his bed.
 
 “Wren…” I stuttered.
 
 “She’ll never know,” he said as he took off his boxer briefs. “I’ll make sure you’re back in your own bed by sunrise. I just checked on her upstairs. She’s out cold. I’m tired of pretending that I don’t want you in my bed, Emma.”
 
 My breath caught as I saw his fully erect cock.
 
 He’d obviously been thinking about this for a while now.
 
 Just like I’d been doing restlessly next door.
 
 Wanting him so badly that I couldn’t sleep.
 
 “I missed you,” he said grumpily as he headed toward the bed.
 
 I smiled as I quickly undressed and tossed my nightgown and panties on the floor. “I missed you, too.”
 
 I let out a sigh of relief as his lips met mine, and he pinned me to the bed with his massive body.
 
 He felt so damn good that a sharp, aching need shot through my body and directly between my thighs.
 
 I tried to stifle it, but a raw moan escaped from my lips as soon as he released my mouth.
 
 “Fuck me, Colin,” I pleaded as I lifted my hips.
 
 I wanted him inside me.
