I laughed. "I'm five seconds ahead of you." I pushed the papers off her desk, grabbed her waist, and placed her on top of the desk. I pulled her shorts and thong down to her knees, not bothering to drag them all the way off, and thrust inside of her.

"God!" She spread her legs and leaned back slightly, knowing perfectly well what angle I liked best.

I reached my hand under her tank-top, pushed aside her bra, and grabbed a handful of her perky breast. "Baby, you have no idea what you do to me."

She wrapped her legs around my waist, pulling me closer. "I think I have some idea."

I pinched her nipple and she moaned again. I had been in the mood to fuck her. But now that I was buried to the hilt, I wished we had more time. I wanted to kiss every inch of her. I wanted to show her how much I loved her.

I groaned as she tightened around me.

"I love you," she whispered, as if she could sense my change of mood.

I leaned down and kissed her.

She ran her fingernails down the back of my neck, deepening the kiss.

I wanted to freeze time.

But I knew that wasn't possible. Time seemed to be speeding by. Our daughter was already two. But I could make this moment a little more memorable. I lifted Penny off the desk, carried her over to the wall, and pressed her back against it.

And I fucked her. Just like I had against that tree on that golf course so many years ago. Just like I had when we were first falling for each other. Back when we were wrong. Back when nothing we did made sense.

"James!"

"I love you, baby." Time changed us. It brought us closer together. We were a family now.

"I love you too," she said against my lips.

I grabbed her perfect ass firmly in my hands and slammed into her hard.

She screamed my name again as she came.

And I relished the feeling of her tightening around me. The feeling of being whole. The feeling that I knew was love. I exploded inside of her, a slew of curses leaving my lips. "Fuck, Penny."

She laughed, tightening around me again.

"God, you know how much I like when you do that."

"What?" she asked innocently, running her fingers through my hair.

"This," I said and tickled her side.

She squealed, trying to wiggle out of my grip, but I was still buried inside of her. And I had no intention of moving.

"We need to get dressed," she protested through her laughter.

"Or we could just stay like this." I dropped my fingers from her skin, knowing she was right. We were running out of time.

She sighed and pressed her forehead against mine. "James Hunter, you're impossible. Our daughter is going to run in here and see you with your pants around your ankles."

"She's three. She'll forget."

"Time is flying by too fast."

I gently eased her off the wall and placed her on her feet. "Then let's make sure to steal more moments like this."

She smiled. "Promise?"
