“Hey handsome.” Ruby’s hand slipped across my lower back and then moved up and down in gentle strokes. “Did you miss me?”
I always missed her when she wasn’t by my side. I don’t know how it happened, but she stormed into my life and burrowed her way into my heart in a short amount of time.
“Every second you are gone, sweetheart.” I turned her so she was facing me. “Have I told you yet how sexy and gorgeous you look?”
She laughed. “Only about a hundred times.”
“Well, then I still haven’t told you enough. You take my breath away, baby. Watching you today was mind-blowing. I’m so proud of you. And if you decide you want to come back to this, I will support you all the way.” I gave her a quick kiss on her lips.
I knew she was passionate about nursing and the modeling was for extra money, but she’d told me before it had grown on her and some jobs, along with the people she worked with, were hard to leave.
Her finger came up and brushed over my lips. “This color looks good on you,” she said. “You’re so good to me. I still can’t believe you are mine.”
“Believe it, Red.”
Her smile was dazzling. “For the record,” she said. “You look extremely sexy tonight in this black suit. But then again you look sexy all the time.”
I’d ditched the tie after dinner and unbuttoned a couple of buttons on the top of my white dress shirt. We were just mingling and I wanted to be comfortable. But when Ruby leaned in and pressed her velvety lips against the exposed skin on my chest, my cock flared to life, pressing uncomfortably against the front of my pants. I needed to do something about it quickly.
“How long do we have to stay?”
“Are you in a hurry for some reason,” she purred.
It was a damn good thing we were alone in a dark corner of the room because if we weren’t someone would get a show. I took Ruby’s hand on my chest and slowly slid it down my body until it was covering the bulge in my pants.
“You’re damn right I’m in a hurry, sweetheart.”
She squeezed my erection and I groaned. Then, she released me, grabbed my hand, and started dragging me toward the door.
“Don’t you need to say goodbye?
“Already did a bit ago. I couldn’t wait to get you home.”
We walked outside and I scanned the parking lot as we made our way to my car. “I like the way you think, babe. But fair warning, we might not make it home before I devour you.”
“Then I’d say, I like the way you think too.”
The sexual tension in the car was off the charts and it wasn’t long before I couldn’t stand it any longer. I pulled off the road, slammed the truck into park, and yanked Ruby onto my lap. Slanting my mouth over hers, I took her lips in a searing kiss. We made out like a couple of teenagers before I got control of myself and finished driving us home.
It felt like it had taken forever to say goodnight to Gyth and Summer but at least the rest of the house was sound asleep.
I lured Ruby to our room and finished what we started in the car.

The next morningI woke to yet another look on Ruby that would be imprinted on my brain forever.
Still in bed, I turned at the sound of the bathroom door opening.
Ruby walked toward me in nothing but my white dress shirt, every button undone and her lush body on full display.
“Please tell me that you’re coming back to bed.”
She reached the side of the bed and smiled at me seductively. “I could be persuaded to do that.”
It was either I got her back in bed, or I dropped to one knee and asked her to marry me. But I didn’t have a ring yet. So, I crooked my finger at her and grinned. She climbed on the bed and swung her leg over the top of my thighs and sat down, pressing her sex again my cock.
“Morning, sweetheart,” I said.
