We both groan as I pick up speed, thrusting in and out of her like our mutual orgasms will save the world.

I reach between us and thumb at her clit and her eyes nearly cross.

“Goddammit, Cleary, you feel so good squeezing my dick like that. I need you to come though. I can’t last much longer.”

“Your ring is hitting that spot. Oh my…” Her mouth opens, but nothing comes out.

But I feel her climax as it pulses around my cock. That’s all it takes to push me over the edge.

“I love you,” I bellow as I paint the inside of her womb with my seed.

When our pleasure has calmed, I lean down until our faces meet. Our kiss is slow and full of all the love I feel for her.

I’ve got to wife her up soon before she comes to her senses and changes her mind.

After I’ve cleaned us both up, we’re snuggled into her bed.

“I read your books,” I say.

“What? When?”

“That first night we were together I read the first one and a half and then on the plane ride here I read the rest.”

“I’m afraid to ask what you think?”

“Don’t be. You’re amazingly talented. Your books are sexy and suspenseful and full of heartfelt emotion. I love them.”

She leans up to look down at my face. “Are you being serious right now?”

“I am.”

“Do you read a lot of romance?”

“Never have before, but I might be a convert.” I swat her bottom playfully. “And I figure I can help you with some certain scenes.”

“Oh that’s true. I’ve been wanting to write about a tattoo artist.”

“Not what I meant.”

We both laugh.

“Are you sore?” I ask, cupping her mound.

“No, not too bad. Why? Are you ready to go again?”

“Not just yet. I want to hold you for a little while longer.”

“How about forever?”

I squeeze her tight. “Sounds perfect.”

Cleary

Today is a big day.

Paige and I are having a book signing at the bookstore in Saddle Creek. Since I’m still relatively new to town, I don’t know all the history, but I’m told this bookstore has quite the story. All I know is that it had closed several years ago due to lack of funds, and then a mysterious benefactor paid to have it restored and reopened, and pre-funded the salary of its employees.
