He moved so fast, she barely saw it coming before she was on her back with the sexiest man in the world poised above her, looking down at her with fire in his lovely hazel eyes.
“Well, hello there,” she said.
“How you doing?”
She curled her legs around his hips and pushed her core against his erection. “Very well and getting better all the time.”
“Mmm, right there with you, babe.” He pushed into her in one deep thrust that was nearly enough on its own to make her come. “Not yet.”
Sam released a sound that was equal parts frustration and desire. “Don’t play with me.”
“I love to play with you. You’re my favorite playmate of this month and every month.” He dipped his head, using it to push up her T-shirt to bare her breasts. His tongue stroked her nipple, which drove her mad. Of course he knew that, which was why he did it.
“I was in a meeting today about the latest jobs report, and I found myself thinking about you and this.” He bit down on her nipple, drawing a sharp cry from her. “I love how you distract me even when you’re nowhere near me.”
He seduced her with everything he had to work with. And like always, the combination did it for her the way nothing and no one else ever had. For some reason, she thought of Angela, who now had to live without her love, and suddenly, Sam had tears streaming down her face.
“Babe… What’s wrong?”
Sam reached for him. “Nothing. Don’t stop.”
Thankfully, he did as she asked, moving quickly to bring them both to the finish line with gasps of pleasure and words of love.
When he’d caught his breath, he raised his head and kissed the tears off her cheeks. “What is it?”
“I suddenly thought of Ang and how she’s lost her Nick. It overwhelmed me for a second there.”
“I’m sorry, sweetheart.”
“It’s like I’m watching my sister live all my greatest fears, which makes me feel selfish. It’s not about me. It’s about her and the kids.”
“It’s about you, too. The loss we both fear the most has struck very close to home. It’s got us both trying to imagine the unimaginable.”
“Yes, exactly,” she said with a sigh of relief. He got it. He always got it.
“You’re not doing anything wrong by dwelling on the what-ifs. Sometimes I think that by allowing those thoughts in, we’re preparing ourselves if the worst should ever happen. Which it won’t.”
“We can’t know that.”
“No, we can’t, but the odds are pretty good that two healthy people will go the distance together.”
“I’m not as healthy as I could be,” Sam said. “Any time I have to chase someone, I realize how out of shape I am.”
“There’s a gym right here in the White House.”
“Shut your filthy mouth.”
Laughter shook his entire body—and hers since they were still joined. “My wife is a piece of work.”
“I hear that quite often, believe it or not.”
“I love her just the way she is. In my eyes, she’s absolute perfection.”
“It’s a good thing I found you again, because you’re the only guy on earth who could put up with me the way you do.”
He kissed her softly and tenderly. “Putting up with you is the best thing to ever happen to me.”
The kids were stillfeverish in the morning, so Sam set them up withPaw Patrolon TV in the sitting room of her and Nick’s suite, called their school to let them know they’d be staying home and then called Freddie. “I’m going to be late, but I’ll catch up later this morning.”
