“Yes, dear.”
They moved quickly to remove the underwear that stood in the way of what they both wanted, and as he sank into her heat, Max had no doubt that he was exactly where he belonged, with the woman he was always meant to love. It’d never been like that with anyone else but her, and to know he had a lifetime to spend with her made him happier than he’d ever been.
“Max? Are you okay?”
“I’m great,” he said, kissing her. “Just making sure this isn’t over before it begins.”
“It’s okay if it is. I’m not going anywhere either.”
“That’s good to know.”
They moved together with the easy rhythm of a couple together a long time, which in some ways they had been. Yes, he’d been with other women and even had a child with one of them. But none of them had ever touched his heart the way Lexi had from the beginning.
He could see and feel how much she loved him in every look and caress and hoped she felt the same coming from him.
“Max,” she said on a gasp as her fingertips dug into the muscles of his back. “Don’t stop.”
“I won’t. I’ll never stop.”
She came with a loud cry that shattered his control.
Someone banged on the wall, startling them. “Shut the hell up over there! People are trying to sleep!”
Lexi laughed so hard, she shook with it. “Oh my God,” she whispered.
“I guess we got a little carried away,” Max said, laughing with her.
“Just a little.”
“If they knew what we’ve been through to be together, they might be more forgiving,” he said as he withdrew from her and snuggled her into his arms.
“And it’s our first time doing it in a hotel.”
“That, too. Lots of firsts to look forward to.” He loved the way her hair brushed against his skin, setting off goose bumps. “You know what’s cool about finding out about the baby in Mississippi?”
“What?”
“My parents met there.”
“They did? Really?”
“Uh-huh. They were volunteers on an affordable housing project for a summer, and that’s how they met.”
“I never knew that.”
“They’ll think it’s cool that it happened there. Not the part about you fainting, but the baby.”
“Do you think they’ll be excited about another grandchild when they already have so many?”
“Definitely. They say all the time that grandchildren are the best thing to ever happen to them.”
“My parents will be so excited. I think they’d sort of resigned themselves to never being grandparents because it was such a long shot.”
“I can’t wait to tell them.”
“I can’t wait for everything.”
Lexi calledher parents the next morning as they cruised toward Georgia. She put the phone on speaker so Max could hear, too.
