Another pinch had me refocusing. I was floating at the moment. “What?”

“I asked how you were feeling…I was a little rough.” If not for the genuine concern in his voice, I’d give him so much shit. As it was, I reached a hand out to him so he could help me cause I really didn’t want to flail around to sit up.

“I feel amazing,” I told him as he clasped my hand. When I tried to sit up, he tugged me upright. Then I was touching his face and he was showering me in kisses. “You didn’t…”

“Oh, not yet,” he said, grinning. “I have a few more orgasms to deliver to my beautiful wife before I’m going to come.”

I stared at him. A few more?

“Blame Bubba, he raised the bar.” Then Coop winked. “Besides, my recovery time is not what it used to be, so I want to get at least three more out of you before I bury myself inside you and come, if you’re up for it.”

Another shiver went through me. “Coop…”

“Only if you’re up for it. That’s why I want to know you’re okay. Last I checked, that sex drive of yours is a hot and dangerous thing if not sated.”

Fresh heat scalded my face. The first time with Izzy had been insane. We were ready for it with Josh. I kept thinking it would calm down some, but I was already eyeing his very hard, very red, and damp cock with interest and my pussy was clenching around emptiness.

“I’m up for anything with you,” I promised him and he let out a long sigh.

“I love my birthday,” he said, then nudged me toward the pillows again. “Lay down and spread out, my love. We have a little game to play in honor of our anniversary.”

Game? I frowned, then understanding flared through me. “Really?”

He grinned. “Why not?”

“We’re not teenagers anymore.”

“So?” He pressed a kiss to the bump. “Don’t listen to your mom right now, kids. She forgot that we’re adults, we get to do whatever we want to do—especially if it makes us happy.”

My smile came so much easier and when I poked him gently with my foot, he caught it and pressed a kiss to my ankle. “I love you,” I told him.

“Good.” His eyes were pure mischief now. “Truth or dare?”

CHAPTER 8

LEAN ON ME

IAN

Igave them a few hours alone while I checked out the venue with the rest of the band backing us up. Then we grabbed dinner. After, I headed back to the hotel and up to our suite. It was almost nine. I’d sent Frankie up almost seven hours earlier.

I needed a shower, a change of clothes, and just some downtime myself. Inside the suite, I found Coop on his phone, still in boxers. He held up a finger to me before motioning to the phone.

It had to be an emergency with one of his patients if he was on the phone, so I left him to it and headed toward the open doors to one of the bedrooms in the two bedroom suite. I dropped my bag on the bed and walked straight into the shower.

Twenty minutes later, and a hell of a lot more relaxed, I walked back out to find Coop staring at his phone. His expression was tight and his mouth compressed. I doubted he even realized I was there.

“Hey,” I said quietly. The other bedroom door was closed and the whole place smelled like sex. Frankie was likely asleep and that was a good thing. “You good?”

“One of my kids died,” he said, almost bewildered.

I dropped to sit on the chair to his left. “Shit.” No wonder he looked wrecked. “What do you need?”

“I have no idea.” He still stared down at his phone like he could get all the answers from it. “I—the call came in and Frankie was asleep. There’s a code that Katie has the answering service send if it’s an emergency.”

“Makes sense.” I kind of knew that. He’d gotten calls before on vacation or over the holidays. Emergencies were always answered even if he wasn’t the psychologist on call. “So they called,” I prompted after he went silent for several long minutes.

Surprise flickered over his expression and he frowned as he glanced up. It really seemed to take effort to focus on me. “Sorry…”
