After Perry helpsme out of the bath and dries me off with a thick, warm towel, he leads me to the bedroom, pulling back the covers and ready to tuck me in when I stop him, my gaze imploring as I study him.

“Will you sleep with me?”

Nodding, he waves at the bed. “Get in.”

I do as he says, my limbs slow, my mind sleepy. He pulls the duvet up to my chin, brushing my hair back from my face as he studies me, not saying a thing.

Within seconds he’s in bed too. Reaching for me. I go easily into his arms, our legs tangling, my hand finding his chest so I can feel the steady thrum of his heart beneath my palm.

“We’ll talk about what happened tomorrow,” he says after a few minutes of silence. “When you feel better.”

“I already feel better.”

“After you get some sleep,” he amends.

Closing my eyes, I rest my head against his warm, solid chest. I could sleep peacefully like this every night. Why do we keep separate bedrooms again? I’m going to talk to him about that. Wouldn’t it be nice, sharing a bed with my husband all the time?

I think so.

“I don’t want to sleep,” I tell him, though I don’t mean it. I would love to fall asleep. “Take care of me, Perry.”

His fingers are in my hair, smoothing it back, and I nuzzle closer to him, sighing.

“What do you need, wife?”

“You,” I whisper. “Just… show me you care.”

Show me that I matter. That you missed me. That you want no one else but me.

He proceeds to do exactly that, pushing me so I’m lying on my back, his hands wandering everywhere, his mouth following. He kisses me across my chest, my breasts. His mouth wrapping around my nipples, sucking. Licking. My skin grows hot and I kick the duvet away, the cool air washing over me, making me shiver.

Allowing me to watch.

I thrust my fingers into his hair, guiding him downward as he drags his mouth across my stomach. Drops a single kiss on one hip bone. Then the other. Driving me out of my mind so that I’m restless. Aching. Wanting him in a particular spot.

He teases me. His warm, damp lips press into my inner thighs, tickling the sensitive skin, making me giggle. The giggle turns into a moan when his mouth finds the very heart of me, his tongue searching, lips sucking. A single finger slips inside of me, thrusting deep and I arch into his mouth, seeking more.

Wanting it all.

After everything I’ve gone through today, I’m sure he thinks I wouldn’t want this. But I do. I need him so badly. Reminding me that he wants me too.

That we’re in this together.

Letting go of his hair, I reach for him, and as if he knows, his hand brushes mine, our fingers interlocking. He clutches my hand as he feasts on me, his tongue and lips destroying me as every heavy second passes and just when I’m about to come, he pulls away.

Frustration ripples just beneath my skin and I lie there, panting.

“Tell me no one else makes you feel like this,” he demands.

I crack my eyes open to find him watching me. His lips are shiny, as is the lower half of his face and I realize he’s coated with my juices.

That’s really hot.

“Charlotte.” His fingers tighten around mine. “Tell me.”

“No one else makes me feel like this,” I say automatically.
