Unsure of what to say, I sit there, my lips pressed together.
But Apollo knows just what to say. “We’re your mommy and daddy, sweetie, and we always will be. We’re a family.”
My heart feels like it might burst, it’s so full.
Before long we’re at his hotel, a suite with two bedrooms, one of which Aurora calls hers. She’s also quick to tell me, “You sleep with Daddy. This bed is all mine.”
Apollo’s deep chuckle makes me quiver with thoughts of what the night holds for us.
While our daughter goes to her room, I turn to him, placing my hands on his broad chest. “So, is this about to happen?”
Cocking his head, he answers, “I don’t want to jinx it, but tonight might be our night, my delicious songbird.”
“You mean, if the virus is through with our kid. Things like that usually last about twelve to twenty-four hours. I think we’re in the clear. For now.”
I feel like I’m walking on a cloud the rest of the night, waiting for Aurora to go to sleep.
The anticipation of being with Apollo again, after all this time, is killing me. So, I take a bath to help relax while he reads her a bedtime story.
When I emerge from the bathroom, I find Apollo lying in bed, a sexy grin on his handsome face.
“She’s fast asleep. I didn’t even get halfway through the book before she was knocked out.”
“Shit! I forgot to get the baby monitor. We’ll have to leave the door open.”
He holds up a brand new monitor. “I’ve already thought about that and bought one to keep here.” There is nothing sexier than a man who takes care of his kid.
Shivering with arousal, I can’t believe the things that I think are sexy now. But God help me, knowing this man actually thinks and cares about our child is the most powerful aphrodisiac I’ve ever had.
“You have really thought of everything.” I hug myself. This seems surreal. “I didn’t expect you to be this good.”
Patting the bed, he urges me to climb in. “Come to bed and let me show you how good I can really be.”
So, this is it. This is really happening.
Biting my lower lip, I move forward, deliberately going slow as I savor every moment of this.
I never thought I would be doing this with him again. But God knows I have dreamed about it.
Pulling the blanket back, I find him naked.
He’s more muscular than he was back then. Chiseled abs beckon me to run my hand over them.
I suck my breath at the way they feel. My heart races, eager to find out what he feels like all over.
I untie my silk robe, dropping it to the floor, exposing my naked body to him for the first time in over four years.
His gaze travels the length of my body, and I find desire dancing in those gorgeous eyes of his.
Sitting up, he moves to sit on the edge of the bed, taking my waist in his hands. “Let me look at you.”
My body burns for him. My heart races.
His lips press against my stomach as he looks up at me. “You carried our baby.”
He kisses a line over one of the scars left by the stretchmarks that came from the pregnancy. “She left her mark on you. She made you more beautiful than I left you.”
Enveloping me in his strong arms, he stands, picking me up off the floor.
