“Hey, you,” I reply, pressing kiss after kiss against his knuckles.
And when I see those sexy lips of his curve up, I know that finally—finally—everything is right in my world. “Wanna to play a game?”
He winces but there’s no missing the spark of life in his eyes. “Always with you, Lys.”
“Good answer, Mr. Matthews. Good answer.”
Epilogue
Istand in the large shower of the Sovereign’s presidential suite with my face pointed up, water from the rainfall shower cascading down over me. Rubbing my soapy hands along my arms and chest, I bask in the afterglow of what has been an amazing day.
A lot has happened since that final showdown with Gavin a year ago. He’s now an inmate in Ely State Prison, having fought—and lost—all of the charges brought against him by both the LVPD and the FBI.
My mother did just as she’d promised and contacted her lawyer the night of the shooting. The very next day he filed a motion to have her marriage to Gavin annulled due to fraud. It meant that by the time the government was finished with him, Gavin Barnes had lost everything, including the Sovereign Hotel.
It was put up for sale and together with a group of investors—including my mother and Bridget’s husband—Barrett and I purchased the property in its entirety. And with Barrett leaving the FBI following Gavin’s sentencing, he now runs the hotel along with a Board of Directors.
A few weeks after being discharged from the hospital, Barrett and I travelled back to Seattle to take care of Jacobs Publishing. I promoted Carrie within the company and appointed a trusted colleague of mine to oversee Seattle operations as my right-hand man. It was the right move because even without a Jacobs at the helm, the company continues to go from strength to strength.
Barrett and I relocated to Vegas for the duration of Gavin’s trial, and for the time being, lived in the presidential suite of the Sovereign while we search for the perfect home.
Three months ago, I surprised Barrett with a repeat date on the rooftop. I even roped in Kyle—who incidentally was never a porter, but Barrett’s partner—to act as our waiter, for old time’s sake.
I thought I’d finally got one up on Barrett by surprising him with a positive pregnancy test underneath a silver food dome but as always, he had to have the last word. When he dropped to one knee and asked me to marry him just as a wave of fireworks exploded off the roof of a neighboring building, I knew that my life with him would never be boring.
He’s never stopped showing me that I made the right decision in following my heart and choosing him. Every minute of every day, I know deep down in my heart that Barrett thinks he’s the luckiest man in the world to have me in his life. My challenge has been to make sure he knows that I feel the same way about him, and I do that by giving everything back to him in return.
In another surprising turn of events, my mother is now dating her lawyer, Kevin Gregory. At the start she was understandably gun shy and rebuffed all of his advances. But he was nothing but persistent, and since she finally accepted one of his many dinner invitations. Since then, I’ve never seen her happier. She’s an equal and Kevin makes sure that she knows that she always will be in his eyes. It also helps that she’s known him all of my life, and he’s never once done anything against either of us.
A cool rush of air brushes over me and looking over my shoulder, I meet the hooded eyes of my naked husband stepping into the shower with me. His chest hits my back just as his hands snake around my hips. One slides up to cup my jaw, the other coming to rest on my small but definitely round baby bump.
“You took your time,” I murmur against his lips as he touches his mouth to mine.
“Had to wait for room service. I knew we wouldn’t want any interruptions once I joined you.”
“You’re a smart man,” I reply before tracking the tip of my tongue along his bottom lip, a hummed groan escaping me as he grinds his hard cock against my bare ass in response. Arching my back, I melt into him and shoot him a devilish smile.
“Mrs. Lucas, I think you play very dirty.”
“Very dirty,” I whisper.
His hands roam over my soapy skin. “I think you need to be thoroughly cleaned.”
“Do you think my husband is up to the task?”
“Let’s find out, shall we?” he says before tangling hs fingers in the wet strands of my hair and diving his tongue between my lips, his other hand dip between my legs and starting a torturous teasing there.
Never one to be outdone, I grip his scalp and hold him in place, reaching behind my back to wrap my fist around his cock, stroking up and down ever slowly to match his rhythm.
“You’re a tease,” he groans, dragging his teeth against my bottom lip before burying his face in my neck and nipping the skin, making me shudder with need.
My movements speed up as I flex my fingers on every downward jerk, loving the growls and groans I’m pulling out of him.
“Fuck I need to be inside you,” he growls, sucking my earlobe between his lips and sending jolts of pleasure coursing through me.
Without letting go of him, I turn around and rise up on my toes to kiss him again, pulling back to watch in fascinated wonder as I pleasure him, loving the heated gaze directed at me. “I think I need you inside me too.”
“Thank fuck for that,” he rushes out, wrapping his arms around me and gripping my ass before lifting me up with ease. Hooking my legs around his back, he walks us forward until my back hits the shower wall. I lean back against the tile and guide him to me, whimpering when he thrusts up inside me at the same time I drop down onto him.
