"Nigel."

"Yes?"

"Love me."

"I do." Hewas trailing kisses along her cheek and nibbling at the sides of herlips. "Constantly. Always." Her body trembled when heworked his way down her neck and the hollow of her throat. "Youare my life." He nibbled and sent heat flaring. "My heart."

He was moving down toher breasts. "I adore you." He kissed the raised fleshbefore stroking the tight bud with his tongue.

"Nigel."

"My sweet."He toyed with the nipple, ignoring the rapid surge of his cock. Hewas going to take his time with her. Even if it killed him and itdamn well might. "I cannot wait to see our baby suckling fromyou." He pulled the nipple inside his mouth and feastedurgently.

Ava's fingers grippedhis hair as her body surged upwards. He transferred to the nextnipple with one smooth motion. And he was ravenous. His teeth scrapedthe skin, tongue soothed it before suckling as if it was his lastmeal.

Letting goreluctantly, he made the journey to her stomach where he spent timebiting lightly on the flesh, before soothing it with his tongue. Bythis time, she was almost delirious with need.

"Please,"she gasped.

"Soon." Hekissed the dark hairs covering her sex. When he tongued her swollenflesh, the fevered cry escaped her. As soon as he introduced afinger, she erupted, her body bucking and heaving.

The climax wasvicious and by now she should have gotten used to the power of it.But it took her by surprise and had her calling out his name. Hewaited her out, before climbing on top of her.

His heart jolted tosee the tears on her cheeks. He guided himself into her with unsteadyfingers, his teeth gritted when she closed around him like a vice. Hetouched his mouth to her wet cheeks before taking her lips in ahungry and devastating kiss.

The climax was swiftand vicious, like teeth clawing at him. With a tortured groan, hespilled himself into her, his body convulsing as the powerful orgasmrocked him to the core.

As soon as he wasable, he got off and gathered her close. She turned into his chest,her breath fanning his chest and for several minutes there wassilence between them.

His fingers moved upand down her back in slow rhythmic movements, lulling her, comfortingher and allowing the peace to steal over her.

"I love you,"she whispered. She could say it over and over and it would not beenough.

"It's a wonderthat I will never take for granted,” he assured her. "Andwhat I feel for you has no words."

He kissed herforehead and relished the feel of her lush body in his arms. Theconstant reminder of how she had come into his life was there.

The moment she hadwalked into his bedroom, the startled look on her face on seeing himthere was etched on his mind. The touch of her hands on his feveredbrow would be something he treasured for the rest of his life.

His sickness and aweird set of circumstances had brought her to him and he wasgrateful. Now they were a unit, an unbreakable bond. He was marriedto her; she bore his name. She was Ava Hawthorne and it humbled himthat she was his. Irrevocably his.

"I hated thefact that I was going to have to fill in for Jenny. As much as Iloved providing the service, seeing my mother do what she did backthen had scarred me and I vowed that there was no way I would everspend my life picking up after rich people."

"And now you areone.” He winced when she poked him in the stomach. "That'sabuse darling and on our honeymoon at that."

"I am going todo more than that, if you don't shut up."

"Ah, now we arebeing verbally abusive. Is this the trend our marriage will take?"

"Oh definitely.I intend to be an abusive wife." Lifting her head, she looked athim, admiring the slight shadow on his face and the glint in hishazel eyes. "Sometimes I wonder what you see in me." Thosehazel eyes took on the bright light of anger.

"Don't."His deep voice was sharp, his one word giving her pause.

"I am sorry."

"You arebeautiful, sweet and sexy." He tilted her chin up. "And Isimply cannot keep away from you. You have become the focal point ofmy life.

The heart of it.Nothing else matters except you. I can lose everything, the company Ihave put so much work into, the designs that have been a part of mesince I was a boy. I can lose all of that, a damn limb, if it comesto that, but losing you would be tantamount to losing my life. Iwould like you to finally get that."
