“You don’t have to. I figured out the microwave.”
Fuck, she’s the sweetest thing.
“Yeah, I do. No more cooking for you.”
Her eyes blink open, and she stares up at me. “I just want to be a good wife, so you don’t send me back.”
“You’re staying here, with me, forever.”
“Promise?”
“Yeah, baby. That’s what the wedding vows were for, remember?”
She nods and looks around and then frowns. “This isn’t my room.”
“It’s where you belong. This isourroom now.”
“Oh, good.” It’s a whisper. “I almost asked to sleep in here last night.”
Surprised, I set her on the bed and squat in front of her. “You should have said something.”
“You were busy working.”
Unable to stop myself, I reach up and hook her soft hair behind her ear. “I’m never too busy for you. I want you to tell me what you need or want. Always.”
She’s in a loose tank and sleep shorts, so I help her under the covers and kiss her head.
“Are you working all night again?” she asks around a yawn.
“No. I just need a quick shower, and then I’ll be back.”
“Okay.” She nuzzles down into the pillow and takes a deep breath. “You smell so good.”
I hurry through the shower, anxious to be with her, and when I finally crawl into bed, I wrap myself around her from behind and tug her against my chest. She wiggles against me, making my cock hard as fuck, but I don’t do anything more than pepper kisses on her cheek and neck and then, with her safe in my arms, fall asleep.

NATASHA
Kisses.
Someone is kissing my neck and chest and tugging my shirt up my torso, and I lift my arms so it can slide off because this feels fuckingamazing.
“Fucking Christ, you’re gorgeous.” That’s Julian’s rough voice in my ear, just before he sinks his teeth into my neck, making my back bow up off the bed. His hand roams over to my breast and pinches the nipple.
“Hmm,” I moan, arching into his touch.
“So damn sweet,” he murmurs, leaving open-mouthed kisses along my jawline. “I’m fucking starving, Angel.”
“I can make breakfast. Or, you know, try.”
I feel him grin against my skin, and it sends another tingle through me.
“You have what I want right here. You’re so damn warm and soft andperfect.” His mouth slants over mine, and he sinks into me, kissing me so slowly and deeply, pulling me further out of sleep.
God, I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want this man.This is the best way to wake upever.
Sign me up for this every day of my life.
