He started tugging on her nipple as well, and her knees began to shake.
“What did you have in mind?”
Her question ended in a moan as he applied the perfect amount of pressure to the throbbing peak, right on the verge of being too much, and she tried to wiggle closer.
“Why don’t we start by seeing how many times I can make you come before I can’t wait any longer to sink my cock into your sweet little cunt. What do you think?”
“I think it sounds perfect,” she said, and it was.
EPILOGUE
Three weeks later…
Wendy walkedinto the restaurant kitchen and found Jessica perched on a stool talking to Cody. Her friend had been spending a lot of time with them, and while she was always happy to see her, she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something else behind the frequent visits.
“Hi,” Jessica said cheerfully. “You look very pretty.”
“I wanted to wear something appropriate for Valentine’s Day, even if Damian is working tonight.”
She’d chosen a pink dress with thin straps and built-in boning that did amazing things for her cleavage. The nipped-in waist led to a full flirty skirt that danced around her knees.
“It’s definitely appropriate,” Jessica agreed. “The best I could do was pick up on the color scheme.”
“I noticed that you were all pinks and reds and whites.” She hesitated. “As far as I’m concerned you can wear whatever youwant, but if you should ever decide to try something different, I’d be happy to go shopping with you.”
“I’ll think about it. I like my layers, but I may be making some changes in the near future and I might need some new clothes after all.”
“Anytime. One of the nice things about working on the book is how flexible I can be.”
Despite that, it was sometimes hard to tear herself away. She had already started assembling a list of recipes to consider, along with the stories behind them, and sketching out some ideas for the layout. Charlotte had also been happy to make suggestions based on her experience in the publishing industry.
She was a little surprised to find she didn’t miss traveling at all. She’d also cut her blog down to once a week and started moving it more into alignment with the book. All of which meant she had more free time to spend with her mate—when he was available.
He’d been very busy since the restaurant reopened, and it hadn’t seemed to slow down. Here it was Valentine’s Day and he was going to be busy in the restaurant all night. At that moment he strolled into the kitchen. Damn, he looked good. He’d traded his usual white shirt for a red silk shirt that showed off his pale muscular chest, and brought out hints of red in his dark hair.
“You look very delectable tonight, kitten,” he growled, his eyes tracing a heated path down her body.
“So do you. It’s a shame you’re going to have to work all night.”
He nodded solemnly, but she couldn’t help feeling that there was a smile lurking behind his serious expression. As a result she was thrilled but not entirely surprised when he came upstairs shortlyafter the first seating. She expected him to carry her off into the bedroom. Instead, he fastened her white cape around her throat and took her back downstairs.
“We’re going out somewhere? Really?”
“Not exactly.”
A smile still lurked behind those dark eyes as he led her outside and down the sidewalk - and then up to the bungalow next door. She gave him a puzzled look.
“Is someone giving a party here? I thought this house was empty.”
He didn’t knock, just opened the door and walked in so she followed him. The house was empty but in excellent shape. The walls had a fresh coat of pale cream paint, and the floors had been polished to bring out the rich patina of the old wood. It wasn’t a huge house, but the rooms were spacious and the high ceilings made them appear even more so. Even the kitchen had been recently remodeled with simple white shaker cabinets and marble counters.
“What do you think, kitten?” he asked as she inspected the kitchen, admiring the functional layout.
“I think it’s a great house.”
“Not too dark?”
“With all these windows and the pale walls? Of course not.”
