“Me too.” He heard the smile in his son-in-law’s voice, and then a loud kiss between the happy new parents.
As soon as they hung up, Sly scooped Morgaine into his arms and carried her to her bedroom. She couldn’t help giggling at the way he took charge.
“I think it’s time we Christened your bed with our lovemaking, don’t you?”
She chuckled. “You’re constantly horny, aren’t you?”
“Are you saying you don’t want to?”
“Heck, no! Of course I want to. I was just teasing.”
He smiled and laid her on the bed. “Whew. I’m glad your sense of humor is returning, but I was afraid you were tired of me.”
“I’ll never get tired of you, Sly. I love everything about you.”
The hunger in his eyes spoke for him as he unbuttoned her blouse. She reached for his belt buckle, and they undressed each other simultaneously.
When at last they lay next to each other, skin to skin, he cupped her cheek and stared into her eyes. “Those were real tears you shed this morning. Were you afraid something would happen to me when I was incapacitated?”
“Are you kidding? I was terrified. I figured if I didn’t stop them, they’d try to perform an autopsy.”
“But you didn’t let them.”
Her brows knit as she remembered just how tightly she held onto the gurney all the way to the morgue. “The orderly tried to convince me to let you go, but I wasn’t about to leave you unprotected until and unless they pried me off with a crow bar.”
He chuckled. “I knew I could depend upon you to keep me safe. And I’ll always protect you too. We’re good together, don’t you think?”
“Yes, I do. In all kinds of ways.”
He captured her lips in a long, deep kiss. Meanwhile, his fingers traced a path down the column of her neck, to her chest and kneaded her breast. She moaned into his mouth.
He broke their lip-lock and kissed his way down the same path until he latched onto a nipple and suckled.
She arched and moaned. The deep sensations rippled through her and tugged at her core, as if he’d pulled an invisible string.
His hand and mouth traded places so that he cupped and squeezed the breast he’d been sucking and paid equal attention to the other one.
How she loved this man…vampire…no, man. Whatever he was didn’t matter. He was hers.
He inched his way down her torso feathering more kisses along her heated skin. When he reached her thighs, he ran his tongue along the ridges of her labia. She shivered.
“Cold?”
“Not hardly.”
He chuckled and went to work licking, nipping and sucking her most sensitive area.
As the fever built, she anticipated an earth-shattering orgasm.
“Oh, Sly!”
Each time they coupled, she thought she couldn’t possibly feel more satisfied than the last, yet somehow, he managed to top his performance without trying. Perhaps it had to do with how much more she fell in love with him each day.
Before she knew it, Morgaine’s climax crashed over her, taking her on the ride of her life. She cried out and grabbed the sheets with both hands and if she might levitate any second. He didn’t stop until he had wrung every last aftershock out of her.
Panting for breath, she said. “Wow.”
He grinned. “I’m glad I can still wow you.”
