I kiss him back, but before it gets too heavy, I lean away and look at him. “That’s what you were thinking about?”

He laughs. “Yeah. Well, that and every way I made you come.”

I lean my forehead against his chest as heat rises in my cheeks. “It was a good night.”

He gasps. “Good? Did you just say it was a good night?”

His hands trail up, and he cups my breasts through my blouse. “I guess I’m going to have to do better next time.”

I roll my eyes. “Three orgasms in one night is pretty good, Penn. It was a great night. Awesome. The best.”

He nods like he already knew that. “That’s what I thought. We may need a repeat tonight.”

I lift my eyes to his. “So you’re really taking the whole day off today?”

He cups my cheek, and I press into his touch. His thumb strokes my skin as he forces me to look up at him. “We’re going to my brother’s ranch. I’m going to help him, and you ladies are going to do whatever you do. I’m sure if Skyler’s involved, we’ll eat.” His eyes drop to my mouth. “And when we come back here, I want you naked and riding my dick as soon as we walk in the house.”

I gasp. “Did you really just say that? Now I’m going to be thinking about it all day. I’m going to be a mess by the time we get home.”

He groans. “I might have to take care of you while we’re there. Sneak you into a stall and give you some relief.”

My body trembles, but I force myself to pull away. We’re already running late, and if we keep going like this, we’ll never make it. As much as I want to stay in bed with my husband all day, I knowOzzy inviting us over is a big deal. He’s been through so much since Valerie died, and the fact that he asked his brothers to come help him on the ranch means something. Penn even took a vacation day for it. That means something too.

I put a hand on his chest to hold him back. “If you keep going, we’ll never get out of here, and we don’t want to miss this.”

He blows out a breath and looks down my body like I’m naked instead of standing here in old jeans and a T-shirt. “Do you know how good you look right now?”

I glance down at my clothes and then back at him. “Are you kidding? These jeans are at least three years old.” I tug at the old, holey denim.

He wiggles his eyebrows. “Well, you wear them just right.”

I laugh and move back in front of the mirror. “Forget it, Dr. Brody. We have places to be.”

He comes up behind me and buries his face in my neck. With a big inhale, he sighs. “Fine, but I’m pulling you into a stall later because there’s no way I’m looking at this ass all day and not having you.”

He grabs my butt, and I lean back against his chest.

A big part of me wants to stay right here and enjoy this closeness, but another part of me wants to be with his family today. I want them to see this side of Penn again too. I know they’ve missed him.

He kisses my neck right below my ear, and my body trembles. The man knows exactly what he’s doing. I give him a stern look in the mirror. “We should probably get going.”

He groans but walks over to his side of the bathroom. “I like it when you tell me what to do, Aria.”

My insides are gooey, but I force myself to keep getting ready. I’m putting my earrings in when I glance over at him in front of his sink. “So…”

He smiles. “Yes, my love?”

I smile back. “I’m ovulating. I mean, yesterday and maybe today.”

I start rambling about my temperature and the app and all the things I’ve been tracking, but when I look at him in the mirror, the Penn from last night is gone. The playful smile has disappeared, and his jaw is tight. Heck, his whole body has gone stiff.

“You should have told me,” he says.

I stare at him. “What?”

He shakes his head and walks out of the bathroom.

I’m so stunned that it takes me a second to move, then I follow him into the bedroom.
