When she’s sure she’s licked up every last drop, she proceeds to rub the rest into her skin. I pull her to her feet, my mouth instantly connecting with hers, my tongue thrusting deep to taste myself on hers.

Eventually, I let her up for air.

“Now, get on that bed and stick that little arse of yours in the air for your husband.”

I grin as she does just that.

I’ve been awake for almost twenty-four hours. But fuck it. Who needs sleep anyway?

I swearit’s her favorite place in the world to be. Pinned underneath me so she can’t move an inch. And now, as well as wearing my cum on her skin, her little pink pussy is filled with it.

It’s mine. She’s mine. A possessive fecker? Where she’s concerned?

Always.

I lie there contentedly as she gently strokes her fingers up and down my bare back.

“You haven’t told me you love me yet.” I know she does, but I want to hear it.

“Haven’t I?” She turns her face toward me, and I lift my head from the crook of her neck and smile down at her.

“Nope.”

And then she does something I never thought I’d see. She blushes.

“I love you.” She says it quietly.

“Sorry, I didn’t quite hear that.”

“I said, I love you, Dylan O’Connell.”

“There’s no need to shout.”

She chuckles. “Asshole.”

“An asshole who loves you.”

Closing my eyes, I press my nose against her neck and inhale deeply. She smells of me. I like my smell mixed with hers. It's the best smell in the fucking world.

“Jaine’s asked us to visit her in Rising while we’re here.” She yawns. It’s clear she’s struggling to stay awake now.

“I’d like that.” Then my curiosity gets the better of me. “I know you can’t tell me who she’s meeting, but can you at least tell me where she was headed?”

“I’m not sure I’m allowed to tell you that either.” She frowns.

I laugh softly. “What am I going to do? I’m in the middle of nowhere in Nevada.”

“True.”

There’s a pause.

“She’s in Manhattan.”

My ears immediately prick up. “But she’s not due back there yet.”

“It was a client meeting. Apparently, she had no option but to attend. She’s kept it very covert, so only me, Cherry, and Ace know about it. Well, aside from the people she’s meeting, that is.”
