But I was determined.
Most nights we went to bed at the same time, and that didn’t count in my eyes. No, he had to come in and find me in his bed, waiting for him.
I’d texted him a short time ago telling him I was home from work early.
I immediately got a text back saying he was closing the shop early.
I smiled. I knew my man. So well. And my baby knew me. So well.
I heard him come in. I heard him coming up the stairs. And then I turned to see him standing at the foot of the bed.
I was on my side turned away from him. I twisted, my shoulders pressing flat to the mattress, but my hips were still canted to the side. With one hand I slowly pushed the sheet down to my hips.
His eyes moved over my naked body.
“My pretty baby.” His voice was soft.
Then he grabbed a handful of sheet in his fist and pulled it slowly the rest of the way off. The sheet gliding across my skin, as well as the heat in his eyes, had tingles washing over me.
“You’re home,” I said in a breathy voice.
He gave a slight nod of his head.
“You’re naked,” he said in a growly voice.
I gave a slight nod of my head, the corners of my mouth pulling up.
God, how I loved this man.
Shades—
Damn. I felt my heart squeeze. My baby. Looking up at me with that shy little smile on her face. That shy little smile that I’d fallen for so many years ago. I didn’t need to take in the rest of her gorgeous body, that smile and the look on her face was beautiful enough.
But, hey, I’m a guy, so yeah, I looked.
Perfection, from her head to her pretty pink polished toes.
Heaven, all laid out for me.
I smiled back at her.
And then I pulled my shirt over my head, undid my belt and let my pants drop to the floor. I heard the thud of the velvet box in the pocket hitting the floor. The ring inside would have to wait until later tonight. My baby had a gift of her own for me and I intended to relish every moment of it.
She reached out with her foot, rubbing her sole up and down my abs seductively.
I took her foot in my hand, wrapping my palm around the arch of her foot, squeezing, massaging, until she moaned in pleasure.
“Miss me?” I asked softly, my voice gravely with need.
She nodded. “I’ve been waiting for you.”
“I see that.”
I brought her foot to my mouth and kissed it. Then I wrapped her leg around me as I crawled over her to settle in the cradle of her thighs, sinking into her in one thrust. Her legs wrapped around me, pulling me close, right where I belonged.
God, how I loved this woman.
“Hello, love,” I whispered against her mouth, stroking the hair back from her face.
