I lean back and nod. “Is it totally improper for me to kiss you right now?”

“The kind of kiss I want would probably land us in jail, so I’ll settle for something softer.” He runs his lips across mine and then steps back, taking my bag from my hands.

Once through security, we find a restaurant near our gate. He causally orders us breakfast as I stare at him, waiting for an explanation. He finally chuckles, shaking his head.

“Did you really think I’d let you go to Virginia alone?”

“It’s for one night!” I protest.

“That was one night I wasn’t willing to give up. Not to mention, I’m going to miss your birthday next month, so I worked with Quinn to surprise you. Today and tomorrow, we’ll pack up what you need, get your apartment ready, and take care of your business. But tonight, you’re all mine, and I have a celebration planned.”

“What about Quinn?” I look for her at the gate.

“Well, I had to make her a deal. I’m responsible for gathering her items and getting them home. She gave me a detailed list and said you’d help.” He gives me a look of terror before reaching in his pocket and handing over a folded piece of paper.

I read through and giggle at the ridiculous things she listed for him. “This is a total joke, honey.”

His face visibly relaxes. “Thank God because look at items under section H.”

The waitress delivers our drinks, and I scan to Section H. It was a mistake to take a sip of water because it comes straight back up, spraying out of my mouth.

Pink Cosmo Bunny (found in my nightstand drawer)

Sweet Success Bullet (also in pink)

Extra batteries located in my bathroom cabinets

My laugh turns into snorting as I try desperately to catch my breath. His lip twitches, fighting a smile.

“She’s good. The look on your face was priceless. I’m not sure if she does own these items, but they will not be traveling to South America with us.”

“Good to know. I was emotionally scarred, thinking about locating her sex toys. But she made me promise before she’d help me set up this surprise.

“Do you have luggage?”

He points to the bag Quinn shoved at him earlier. “That’s actually mine. Quinn’s probably in my car on her way home now. I really wanted this to be special. It’s our last night alone for months.”

My eyes start to prickle, but I smile when our food is delivered. Bryce situates his chair around the table, as close to mine as possible. He gently cups my chin then cradles my head in his neck, kissing along my forehead.

“I love you, Devon, and unfortunately, we’re going to have a lot of separation in our lives. The career I chose is going to take me away from you for long periods of time, but it’s my job to let you know that you are my world. So for the next two days, our last time alone for months, I plan to do that.”

Once again, his words bring out the deep emotions threatening to surface, and I swallow hard, gripping his wrist. “Let’s make a deal. You don’t say incredibly sweet and sentimental things that make me want to wail. Hide your sensitive side until at least the night before I leave. There’s only so much I can take.”

He grins into my neck and speaks softly, “Okay, babe, no more gushy shit. Now, let’s eat. You’re going to need your energy tonight.”

Chapter 5

Bryce’s hands snake up my stomach, and his fingers link with mine as I squirm under him. His tongue circles my clit slowly before he slides it into me, sucking hard. I moan in pleasure when he positions our hands over my aching nipples and squeezes.

His mouth and tongue move in rhythm, sucking and nipping. I swivel my hips upward, tightening my thighs and forcing him deeper. One hand pulls out of my hold and slides down my side, over my hip, and stops at his mouth. When he slips the tip of a finger inside, fire shoots through me, and I clench down.

“So fucking beautiful,” he rumbles. “And all mine.”

“Yes,” I pant, tingling sensations rushing through every nerve in my body.
