“Now, Andy!” I scream, but I’m still soaring. Flying through an orgasm so rapidly I should feel in danger of having a heartattack.

He lifts his head as I’m coming back down, my nails digging into the back of his head, and hesmiles.

“Still lazy?” hejokes.

“For the love, Andy. How do you dothat?”

“Dowhat?”

I don’t answer him. I stare into his eyes, so happy and full of life. Of love. I pull him down to me, taking his mouth with mine as I tug on the waistband of his shorts. He helps me push them down, allowing my hands to immediately go to his ass. The tightness of his cheeks spurring meon.

“So damn sexy,” Iwhisper.

A slow smile spreads across his beautifulface.

I lift a hand and trace one of hischeekbones.

He captures my hand and kisses the tip of each of my fingers; a jolt of electricity shoots through my body with each graze of hislips.

“Hang on, baby,” he commands, wrapping my arms around his neck and motioning to my legs to grip tightly around hiswaist.

In one swift motion, he lifts, bringing me with him, clinging to him like a spidermonkey.

With a grunt he stands, pushing his shorts the rest of the way down and steps out of them as he walks us in the direction of mybedroom.

He lays me down gently on my bed, spreading my tangled mess of hair out all aroundme.

“You deserve more than a quickie on your couch when I’m in the middle of my run.” His eyes are assessing me, taking in every inch of myface.

“What?”

“You’re worth so much more than that. You’re worth… dammit, Christine. You’re worth all of it. I know we haven’t been together that long, and you might think that I’m just rebounding from her, but that’s not it. You. You’re it for me. I can’t believe I spent so many years without knowing that, without you in my life and taking over my thoughts. But I want you to know, this isn’t just some passing thing for me. This iseverything.”

I bite my lip, but the sting of tears comes anyway. I can’t stop them. The floodgates are opened, and it’s all hisfault.

“I love you,Andy.”

His thumb swipes away a tear from my cheek with his thumb. “Well that’s good because I sure as hell loveyou.”

Andy

Life isgood.

Mostly.

Aside from the fact that Bri leaves for college in two days and Christine is a basket case almost every singlemoment.

Yesterday she came over straight from the coffee shop, and it looked like she had gotten into a fight with a bag offlour.

I even saw it in herear.

She has bags under her eyes from lack of sleep. Of course, she’s stillbeautiful.

Between trying to get Balance up and running and sending Bri off, she’s wearing herself thin, and I don’t likeit.

So, the kids and I planned a funnight.
