“Yes. I love kids, and I know that you do, too.”
She tilted her head. “And how do you know that?”
“By your interactions with Tomb’s four kids a few days ago. They didn’t seem to rattle you, and by the end of the evening, they were calling you Auntie Rae Rae.”
She threw her head back and laughed. “Of course they didn’t rattle me. I love kids. And I can’t wait to meet your nephew, Cornell. I bet he’s a cutie.”
“He is. Just like his Uncle Cobra.”
That made her laugh even more.
“Okay, Allison Desiree Sharpe, it’s time to get serious,” he said, joining her on the bed and pulling her into his arms for a kiss. He had to admit that his love for her started building right after their first kiss. Nothing had changed. He was still fascinated with her mouth.
Their passion built quickly. After tasting her mouth, then pampering her breasts and her clit with his tongue, he eased into position above her.
“Do you have any more orgasms left for this?” he asked. She’d had three already.
She smiled up at him. “There are plenty more where those came from, Cobra.”
He returned her smile. How lucky was he to have found a woman who took the art of multiple orgasms to an entirely new level? And to think, Aimery LeBlanc had claimed she was sexually inadequate. The guy didn’t know what he’d had. But Cobra did. And he was never letting her go.
He gazed down at her, at the way her hair fanned out on his pillow, and her eyes flashed with desire. She looked like a satisfied woman who knew she was about to get satisfied yet again. Probably a few more times before they fell asleep.
Tomorrow, they would join his parents for dinner, along with his brothers and their families. He would announce their engagement then, and he couldn’t wait.
“So, when do you want to get married?” he asked.
“I always wanted a June wedding.”
“Then June it is, sweetheart.”
He leaned in to kiss her and seal the deal, while at the same time sliding his body into hers. His lips on hers, he began moving, establishing a rhythm and setting the pace. Slow, fast, then out of control. Her body felt hot, on fire, as if it was burning for him. His thrusts were fast and hard, deliberately driving her off the edge.
Then it happened. Together, their bodies exploded in an orgasm so fierce that his head spun. He released her mouth and gazed down at her. She never looked more beautiful than when she was in her orgasmic element.
She screamed his name when another climax hit, then a third. Hell, he thought when his body began jerking again, they were headed toward a fourth. Amazing. He didn’t let up until the last spasm had flowed from their bodies.
For a minute, he was too drained to speak. Somehow, he managed to ease off of her, and pulled her into his arms. “Wow,” she whispered softly.
“You can say that again,” he whispered back, barely breathing out the words.
She did. “Wow.”
He smiled. “I love you, Desiree. Thanks for coming into my life.”
She reached up and softly stroked the side of his face. “And thank you, Cobra Masters, for coming into mine.”
EPILOGUE
“I now pronounce you husband and wife. Cobra, you may kiss your bride.”
Desiree was not surprised at the thoroughness of the kiss Cobra gave her, nor was she surprised when both of his brothers, who had been his best men, tapped him on the shoulder, gesturing for him to end it.
After the minister said, “I present Cobra and Allison Desiree Masters,” Cobra swept her into his arms and kissed her again as they exited the church.
The wedding reception, held at the Rockefeller Center, had been beautiful. Desiree appreciated Lolita’s help in recommending the woman who had served as her daughter’s wedding planner. Desiree had liked Lolita immediately and knew she was just the woman her grandfather needed. It was obvious he was happy at having a second chance at love.
Richard and Lolita would get married at the end of the year, and she was happy for them. Just before he’d walked her down the aisle, her grandfather had told her how proud he was of her. He’d said that now he had everything—the granddaughter he loved and the grandson of his heart.
