  A Little Less Conversation

  * * * * *

  The day passed in a sublime, sexual lassitude that neither wanted to end. They stroked and hugged and rocked softly against each other, their bodies burning with the excitement of love and discovery, eager to touch and taste and learn.

  “So,” Mark sighed with soul-deep satisfaction hours later, rolling to his back and pulling her across his chest, while one big hand rubbed the back of her head, tangling her curls, “as soon as I can walk, I’ll get Cain to start helping me get your stuff moved over to my place. I’d move in here, but my place is bigger and I don’t wanna crowd you.”

  “Mmm…you better wait before you call him. I don’t plan on letting you outta this bed for at least a few more hours.”

  “Maybe I should tell him to plan for tomorrow afternoon.” He let everything he felt for her fill him up, until it felt as if it were pounding through his veins, and he knew she could see it, all of it, burning in his fiercely possessive gaze.

  “Yeah, that sounds better,” she said breathlessly. “We’ll need to break for food by then anyway.”

  “Oh man, you’re turning into an insatiable little sex maniac, aren’t you?” he drawled with keen anticipation, reaching down to grope her sweet little bottom.

  “You think so?” she asked with a brilliant, blinding smile, and he pulled her higher onto his chest until she draped his body like a blanket of warm, willing, wonderful woman. All his, and he was going to spend the rest of his life making her deliriously happy for gifting him with her love.

  “I think you’re amazing. And mine. And I’m madly in love with you. Would you like me to tell you all about it?” he asked with a teasing grin, knowing she was already hungry for him, and god only knew his cock was hard and ready to please, pressed between their bellies.

  She arched one slender brow, her beautiful brown eyes shimmering with humor.

  “Are you going to let your body do the talking?” 121

  He tsked playfully, shaking his head from side to side. “And here I thought you wanted a little less conversation from me, sweetheart.”

  “What can I say? I like your body language, Marky boy,” she drawled with a cocky grin that would have made even an arrogant bastard like Cain proud. “Go ahead and talk to me some more. I’m all ears.”

  Mark threw back his head and roared with laughter…and then gave her exactly what she wanted.
