“Nightstand drawer.”
I reached over, pulled open the drawer, and my hand closed around the small metal key. But beside it, something else caught my eye.
A pink vibrator.
I held it up, one eyebrow raised.
She had the decency to blush. “I’ve been using that every night when I think about you.”
My eyes slammed shut. “Harper.”
“What?”
“You really shouldn’t have told me that.”
“Why?”
“Because now I’m going to be fantasizing aboutthat.”
She grinned, slow and wicked. “Well, tonight’s not over.”
I stared at her. This woman. This beautiful, brave, surprising woman.
“You’re going to kill me, Princess.”
“Then you’ll die a happy man.”
I shook my head, unlocked her cuffs, and rubbed my thumbs gently over the faint marks on her wrists. “I need to feed you.”
“Oh?”
“You’re going to need your energy.” I leaned down, pressed a kiss to the tip of her nose. “Because we’re going another round. And then another. And another.”
She rose up onto her knees, wrapped her arms around my neck, and kissed me soft and slow.
“Promises, promises, Blackwood.”
“Come on. Let’s get some food.”
We spent the next three nights making love, waking up tangled in each other, eating breakfast together, and living in complete bliss. Had it not been for running low on groceries, I don’t think we’d have ever left her place.
Honestly, I would have gladly gone on a hunger strike, surviving on nothing but the sweet space between her thighs. That would have been my vote. Who needed food when you had a woman like Harper willing to stay in bed with you until the world ended?
But then her stomach growled loud enough to echo off the walls, and I knew I’d do anything to make her comfortable and well cared for.
Which was how, for the first time in fourteen years, I found myself grocery shopping.
