I tug away to look at his face. “You should be. He can dance, and he won that award for courage.”
He reaches to cup my face in his palms. “I can’t compete with Byron on the dance floor or the courage department, but you have to admit, I could win an award for what I just did in our bedroom.”
My knees weaken at the last two words.
Our bedroom.
It feels right in a way I always want it to.
My phone starts ringing, breaking the moment.
Both of our gazes drop to it.
Daniel leans forward to see the name flashing across the screen. “That’s a bakery chain, right? Is that their head office calling?”
I silence the phone and nod. “It is. They’ve been chasing me for weeks. They want me to promote their new donut flavor in exchange for… it’s a lot of money.”
“Donuts and money?” He laughs. “You should have answered it.”
I glance at the phone’s screen again as the call goes to voicemail.
“It’s a nationwide chain, Gina,” he points out. “Their offer must be very generous, and I know you love donuts.”
I toss my phone on the couch again before my gaze meets his. “I love the chocolate donuts Marti makes for me. They’re my favorite. They’ll always be.”
He leans down to kiss me softly on the lips. “You’re incredible.”
“Daniel?” I whisper his name as the kiss breaks.
“Yes, wife?” he answers with a smirk.
“You won the award for best wake-up call ever today. Your mouth…your cock…let’s just say that it was a phenomenal start to the day.”
He lets out a low laugh. “I fucking knew it. There has to be a prize that comes with it, right? What is it? I want it now.”
I tug on the sash at my waist, opening my robe. Before my next breath, I slide it off. As it pools at my feet, my husband’s gaze rakes my nude body from head to toe.
Even though he’s fully dressed in a three-piece suit and tie, he picks me up and hauls me over his shoulder. “I’m going to be late for work today. Very, very late.”
CHAPTERFORTY-THREE
Daniel
“How’s Vern?”I ask Dominick when I glance up to see him entering my office.
“Stubborn.” He chuckles. “He’s seeing another cardiologist today since he didn’t like the first one we set him up with. Arietta is taking him to that appointment. I think your roommate is tagging along.”
Wife. Gina is my wife.
“This doctor is the cousin of Arietta’s best friend,” he goes on, “he was booked solid for months, but Sinclair pulled the necessary strings. She’s always there for my fiancée.”
“Everyone needs a friend like that.”
“She’s Arietta’s maid of honor.” He takes a step closer to my desk. “You’ll meet her soon.”
“I’m looking forward to it,” I say honestly. “Your big day is on the horizon.”
He nods. “Gina’s birthday arrives first. It sounds like Bella and Lia are planning a party. They want it to be a surprise, but Gina’s not keen on that.”
