Page 160 of If You Love Me

“I love you so much. I love how safe you make me feel. Protected, cared for.” Her fingers brush along the edge of my jaw. “I didn’t know this kind of love was possible, and now that I have it, now that I have you, I can’t believe I let you go in the first place.”

“We found our way back to each other.” I kiss her hand. “When the girls are in bed, I’d like to show you exactly how much I love you.”

A coy smile quirks the side of her mouth. “Let me check on Callie.”

It’s another half an hour before I close and lock the bedroom door. I take my time with Lexi, teasing her, tasting her, kissing every inch of her before I settle between her thighs.

“Everything is so sensitive.” She moans as my cock slides over her clit.

I stroke her cheek with my thumb. “I look forward to the third-trimester hormones and your insatiable appetite for my cock.”

“I’m already insatiable.” She rolls her hips and whispers against my lips, “Please, fuck me.”

“How can I say no to you, angel?” I line myself up. “Especially when you’re being so polite.”

She bites my shoulder to muffle her moan, and I shudder at the sensation of being sheathed in her softness. Slipping myfingers into the hair at the nape of her neck, I grip gently. “My beautiful wife, I’m going to fuck you sweetly as often as you like.” I pull out to the ridge and push back in, slowly, gently.

“Please, yes.” Lexi pulls my mouth to hers, muffling her soft mewls and needy moans. After a little while, she comes in waves, body quaking with her release, and I follow, sated in a way I’ve never been before.

After I clean her up, I gather her in my arms.

She lifts her head, brow furrowed. “Oh crap.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I have to get a new dress for Rix and Tristan’s wedding. I’ve already gained five pounds. There’s no way I’ll fit into that slinky number a month from now.”

“As if I need a reason to spoil you. We’ll take you and the girls shopping tomorrow and get you something you’ll feel comfortable in.” I kiss her temple.

“They’ll love that.” She laces our fingers. “It’s wild that Connor is coming.”

“Tristan invited the whole team. He’s not the kind of guy to leave one person out.”

“Hmm… We should place bets on who we think is most likely to engage in the dreaded wedding hookup.”

“Flip’s been on his best behavior lately, so he might have a slipup,” I note.

“It could happen. It is his sister’s wedding, after all.” Lexi makes circles around my nipple.

“What about Dred?” I muse.

“Oh! That’s possible. Who would she hook up with, though? None of the guys from the team would go there.” Lexi traces the outline of my pecs.

“You don’t think Flip would?” He’s been pretty adamant that they’re just friends, but who knows.

“Oh no.” Lexi grimaces. “They’re like brother and sister. But the most drama would come from a Connor and Dred hookup.”

“Oh. That’s vicious, but I can see it. They got along surprisingly well when we planned the whole Christmas surprise.”

“And he drove her home,” Lexi adds.

“That’s true. I just don’t know if Dred would be willing to go there with the guy who fucked her best friend’s sandwich.”

“I still have a hard time believing that happened.” Lexi snorts as she rolls over and rests her chin on my chest.

“What about Tristan’s middle brother and Rix’s bestie? Those two are hella awkward around each other.” She’s forever putting on lip gloss when he’s around and he’s forever trying not to stare at her.

Lexi’s eyes light up. “Oooh, do you think there’s history there?”
