“We’re going to the doctor’s office first thing so I can have a DNA swab test.Then we’re going to breakfast together.I want them to stay longer, but they have to get back to their jobs and their lives.”
She sounded sad.He placed a kiss against her temple.“You can find sometime soon to get together, or you could go down there.”
“Would you come with me?”
There was no way he’d let her leave him now.“I’ve got some vacation time coming my way.”
She rested her cheek against his chest.“Or we could visit Chicago.”
His arms tightened around her.“We could do that too.”
“I told them everything,” she whispered.“That I’d lied and that I made you lie.”
He kissed the top of her head.“I was never lying, Beauty.”
“But I told them that was why we’d fought.”
“What did they say?”
“That I was insane.”She kept her face pressed to his chest when he tried to look her in the eye.“Everyone could see what was happening but me.”
He stroked her soft hair.“You saw it, but you were too timid to believe it.”
She stiffened.“I don’t want to be that ever again.”
“What?”
“Timid.”
He cupped her face.“It’s all right if you are.It’s part of you, Maxie, and it’s a part that turns me on.I like teasing you out of it.”
She blushed, and he brushed a finger over her cheek.“But if there’s anything you want to try or do, you let me know.”
“Like teaching me how to rock climb?Or taking the zip line down the hill at Indigo Blitz?”
He chuckled.“Will doing these things excite you like skinny-dipping or pulling the triplet switch?”Those memories brought back vivid impressions for him.
“Maybe.”
“Then we’re going skydiving.”With a heave, he lifted them both out of the chair and her into his arms.Carrying her close to his chest, he headed through the living room to the stairs.
She caught at his shoulder.“What are you doing?”
“I’m moving us up to that king-sized bed of yours.It’s about time we put that thing to better use.”
Chapter Fourteen
Maxie awoke to the sensation of Zac penetrating her, long and slow.It was a sinful way to wake up, and one of the most delightful.Her body was warm and lax, but her breasts were heavy, and her belly was tight.He filled her inch by inch, and pleasure coursed through her.When he was fully seated, she stretched and opened her eyes.
He hovered above her, his blue gaze watching her intently.“Sleeping Beauty awakes.”
She ran her hand down his back and squeezed his butt.“That’s not a kiss.”
He ground in a circle, making her squeal with pleasure.
“No, but this is.”Leaning down, he kissed her luxuriously as he slowly began to thrust and parry.There was no rush this time.They’d made love several times over the course of the night.The edge was off, but the deep-seated need was still there.Maxie hoped that never went away.
Her body rolled in time with his, lifting to accept him and relaxing as he gradually withdrew.The slowness made the sensations more intense, something she hadn’t believed possible.She wound her legs around his and watched his face.He was so sexy to her, so model perfect, but ruggedly male.
