My.
Gosh.
I instantly stopped laughing and took stock of this moment.Because this was absolutely a bottle moment.I quickly stuffed it into an imaginary bottle and stowed it away with the others.
“How can that be?”I said in a whispered voice that I could barely hear.
“Never,” he answered before he took my lips in the most delicious kiss.I moaned into his mouth and felt my lower belly heat with need.
“How long did she say we should wait?”he mumbled against my lips.
“For what?”I asked, not understanding what he was talking about.
“Until we can make love again.”His hands slipped down to my behind and squeezed.
“Never,” I said in a confident voice.
Now it was Stefan's turn to laugh.
And laugh.
And laugh.
“What?”I asked and lightly hit his chest.But he still wouldn't stop laughing.“I'm serious.I'm not having sex.Ever again.”
That just made him laugh even harder.
Good grief.
This man was ridiculous.
“Stefan, I'm not kidding.”My voice rose, and I frowned at him.
He kissed me gently.“Okay, Wife.Whatever you say.”His lips lingered longer, and he kissed me deeper—until my toes started to curl.“Are you still hungry?Or should I run you a nice warm bath?”
It didn't take me long to tell him my choice.“A bath.”
He smirked and kissed me one last time before taking my hand.“Then a bath it is.”

When Stefan said a bath—he really meant a bath.
This tub was huge.And jetted.
The bubbles floating around me smelled of lavender.It was amazing.I couldn't have even dreamed of such a luxurious tub.It felt wonderful.
“Is there room for one more in there?”Stefan's voice drifted over to me.I turned my head to see him walking toward me.Without waiting for an answer, he began undoing the buttons on his shirt.
My eyes widened and nearly fell out into this lovely bath.
“Stefan!”I yelled out.“The doctor said—”
But he cut me off before I could finish.“Did the doctor say we couldn't bathe together?”His eyebrows rose on his face as he yanked his shirt out of his pants and pulled it off—revealing a very broad—very toned—chest.“Because that's all we're going to do.I promise.”
His hands went straight to his belt, and he undid that in no time flat.Next was the button and—zipper of his pants.
