I don’t answer her as I stroll to the bathroom to start a bath for her. I return to the bedroom and lift her from the bed.

“What are we doing now?”

“You’re having a bath to soothe your skin from the wax.”

“Will you join me?” she asks as I place her in the water.

“You couldn’t stop me if you tried,” I say as I climb in behind her.

I wrap my arms around her and she lays her head against my shoulder. My cock aches. It doesn’t help when she wiggles her ass against me.

“Aren’t we going to handle that little problem you have?”

I bite her shoulder. “Not a little problem. And we will handle it. But first I’m going to take care of you.”

My cock can wait. The most important thing is to make sure Soleil is okay after the wax play. I’m not going to force the woman I love to do things in the bedroom she doesn’t want to do. I’ll make certain she’s in a good frame of mind. Then, I’m going to make love to the woman I love.

Did someone steal the cinnamon from my stock room? ~ Message from Moon on the Winter Falls Facebook page

Isigh as the arm wrapped around me tightens and Brody snuggles closer into me. There’s nowhere else in the world I’d rather be. I don’t have the urge to jump out of bed and work on my pottery. I want to stay here. Forever.

Whoa, Soleil.What are you thinking? Do you love Brody?

Do I love the way he makes me feel good? Do I love the way he takes care of me? Cooking for me? Cleaning the house for me?

Well, crap. This is unexpected. Completely and totally unexpected.

I didn’t expect to fall in love with the juvenile prankster who’s way too young for me.Knock it off, Soleil. Brody is way more than a prankster. And he’s certainly not juvenile. Especially not when he shows you how much pleasure he can bring you in the bedroom. And he’s not too young for me. He’s not my dad.

“What are you thinking about over there?” he asks before kissing my ear.

“Nothing,” I mutter before I can blurt out how much I love him.

He chuckles. “Which is why there’s smoke coming out of your ears.”

I roll until I’m facing him. “Smoke isn’t coming out of my ears.”

He tweaks my nose. “Sure, it isn’t.”

“You’re annoying in the morning.”

“I think you mean adorable.”

I roll my eyes. “Awful full of yourself, aren’t you?”

He smirks. “No, but I—”

I slap my hand over his mouth before he starts with the sex talk. It’s super sexy at night when he has me all tied up and blindfolded, but in the morning light? I’m going to need some time before I get used to Brody the prankster also being Brody the sexy talker.

“It’s too early in the morning for whatever annoying thing you were going to say. It’s only…,” I check the clock and let out a yelp. “Oh no. It’s already eight. I should be at work. The kiln should already be ready to go. I’m late.”

I roll to get out of bed but Brody shackles my wrist to stop me. “What are you doing?”

“You can’t leave this bed until you kiss me good morning.”

I narrow my eyes on him. “Is this a rule?” He nods. “When did this become a rule?”
