I laughed as I wandered to Emmett’s bedroom. I spotted him in his en-suite. I hung by the doorway and perved at him as he did his little evening routine. He finished washing his face and caught me looking.
He smirked. “Hey, beautiful. See something you like?”
“Maybe a little too much.”
Emmett walked across to me and rubbed my arms. “Not possible.”
“About the shopping trip, it’s only for a few small items. A toy box for him, maybe a little bookshelf. Nothing that’s permanent. We’re certainly not trying to force ourselves into your life.”
“Who said you’re forcing?” Emmett gently shook me. “I want this. I know it’s early, but I want us to work and I want you living with me to be permanent. But I’m not trying to rush you.”
I wrapped my arms around his waist. “I like the sound of permanent.”
“Has Charlie ever had his own bedroom?”
I shook my head. “Not since he was six months old.”
“Then that settles it. We’re going to kit out his new room and he’ll never want to leave,” Emmett said.
I sniggered. “I’d rather not encourage the caveman attitude before he’s a teenager. But having his own room would do us both a world of good. He’s not a baby anymore.”
“And his mom has other needs.” Emmett kissed me and pulled me down onto the bed.

It was the sun pouring in the window above the bed that stirred me the next morning. My body felt thoroughly exhausted from the late-night activities Emmett and I had taken part in.
“Hmm, this is nice to wake up to.”
Emmett’s husky voice woke me up enough for me to roll over. I was greeted with his mussed hair, his thicker morning beard, and his sexy smile. I stroked his jaw. “Good morning.”
Emmett answered me with a kiss.
It felt so amazing being in a man’s arms and in his bed, especially a guy who was as trustworthy as Emmett had proven himself to be.
Emmett wrapped one arm around my shoulders and ran the other down my ribs to my hips.
“You feel so good,” he murmured.
My core throbbed with the need to feel him inside me again. The need to give myself over to him. I hooked my leg over his hips, and he aligned himself with my opening before pushing into me. It was hard and fast, and a little lazy. But I revelled in the sensations rolling through me as Emmett and I made love beneath the covers.
Emmett held me tight against his body. His mouth rested on my shoulder as he muffled his moans. Moments after he came down from his high, I reached my own crescendo. Emmett swallowed my cries with a kiss.
“Good morning,” Emmett murmured.
I sighed happily. “Hi. I could get used to this kind of wake-up call.”
“So could I. As much as I’d love to laze here all morning with you, there’s a young boy we have to take shopping.” Emmett slipped out of me and my body instantly missed him. It was more proof that Emmett and I belonged together.
“You’re right. You shower. I’ll go and check on him.” I got out of bed and walked naked over to my suitcase. When I didn’t hear him answer, I glanced up to see him staring at me. “Emmett?”
“What, I’m not allowed to check out my hot new girlfriend?”
“Sure, okay. But what if Charlie barges in and we’re both still naked?”
“We’ll hear him before we see him. Those crutches clomp on the timber floors like Clydesdale hooves.”
I giggled as I pulled on my pyjama shorts and a tank top. “Let me know when you’ve showered, and we’ll switch.”
