“Good.” He cupped her face in both hands. “I love you, so much, Sunshine. I’m never letting you go now; you realize that, right?”

“Good, because I never want to be let go.”

“It’s you and me.”

“It’s you and me,” she reiterated.

“Now, we have some making up to do,” he murmured before capturing her lips with his.

The feel of his soft lips made butterflies take flight in her stomach, and she sighed as her entire body relaxed. She finally felt safe, for maybe the first time in her adult life.

He broke the kiss, his breathing heavy when he suggested, “Let’s go inside.”

She reached for the door handle and met him at the door leading to the house. He kissed her as they walked inside. The familiar scent of his cologne filled her senses, sending her pheromones into overdrive. Dakota pulled his shirt from his pants and reached underneath the hem to drag her nails down his back while arching against him. The feel of his warm skin against her fingers heightened her need to feel his bare skin on hers.

He directed them through the kitchen; his lips never leaving hers while she walked backward and blindly unbuttoned his shirt.

When they reached the dining room, he broke the kiss and burrowed his face in her neck, murmuring, “I’ve missed you so fucking much,” against her skin as his hand slid under her blouse and up her side to palm her tit.

She wove her fingers in his hair and tilted her head back, giving him better access to her neck, while she pressed her hips against his erection.

“I’ve missed you, too, baby.”

By the time they reached the stairs, they were both shirt and shoeless, and breathing heavy.

He smirked as he gestured toward the stairs. “I can fuck you on the landing, but I think it’d be more comfortable in my—our—bed.”

Our bed.

Dakota liked the thought of that.

“Let’s go upstairs to our bed.”

He looked at his reflection as he looped his tie through the knot.

“It’s fine, Sunshine. I can go by myself, and I’ll duck out early.”

Today was supposed to be their first public outing together as a married couple. Then yesterday, the Massachusetts Massage Board of Registration of Massage Therapy decided to schedule their inspection of her new location.

She peeked her head around the corner, and his dick got hard at the sight of her wearing only a beige slip.

“You RSVP’d for both of us, Aiden. I can’t just not show up.”

Abandoning the task of making sure the knot of his tie was straight, he walked to where she was standing and pulled her into his arms. He ran his hands up and down her back, relishing the feel of the silky material under his fingertips and her warm body against hers.

“So, come late, Mrs. Matthews.”

“That’s a good idea. Hopefully this inspection won’t take long since I have an excellent record with my other locations.” Dakota tipped her head up to look at him with a wide grin. “And I love when you call me Mrs. Matthews.”

“I love saying it.”
