“There you are,looking all dolled-up and sexy.”
I smiled at Gunner’s reflection in the vanity mirror, leaning against the door jam with his forearm raised above his head.
“Is it too sexy for the in-laws?” I pulled at the neckline of my dress, hoping it wasn’t so low that it was inappropriate.
“Nah.” Gunner took a few steps into the room, blue eyes following the lines of my backside. “Not anywhere close.”
“And how long have you been spying on me?” I closed my compact and started putting my makeup away.
“Long enough. I like watching you get all made up.” He moved the hair draped against my upper back, caressing my neck as he dropped a kiss to my head. “Not that you need it.”
“I’m just nervous,” I admitted, reaching back for his hand. “Scared shitless, if I’m going to be completely honest.”
“For shit’s sake, why?” He ran both hands over my neck and shoulders now, massaging the nerves right out of my muscles. “They’ll love you, baby girl. As much as we do.”
“It’s been years since I’ve met the parents of a guy I’m with, and it’s never been as serious as myhusband’sparents. Holy shit, they’re already my in-laws!”
“Relax.” Gunner’s lips rested in my hair, his hands sweeping luxuriously over my shoulders and upper back.
“I wish you were coming,” I sighed, melting under his touch.
“Mm.” He pressed another kiss into my hair. “You’ve got this in the bag, you don’t need me. Reap’s already talked you up a ton to his dad. I bet they’re excited to meet their daughter-in-law.”
“That scares me even more,” I groaned. “What if I don’t live up to the hype?”
“It’s not hype, it’s truth.” His hands came over the front of my shoulders, smoothing down my chest and tracing the edges of my dress. “What do I gotta do to make you believe me, huh?”
His touch dipped inside my neckline, a warm palm finding my breast and pulling a gasp from my mouth. “Gunner…”
“What do I gotta do?” he groaned, lowering his mouth to my ear as his other hand wandered down the side of my hip, pulling the fabric up my thighs. “To make you see how perfect you are for all of us?”
“Gun.” I turned my head, catching his hungry mouth as it searched for a kiss. There went my lipstick. “Love, I’d love to, but we’ll be late.”
“Will you?” he challenged, nipping at my lips. “Or will you just be on time instead of early?”
“Reap and Jandro are waiting—”
“Let them wait.” He squeezed my nipple between his thumb and forefinger, the other hand diving between my legs to spread them apart. “You’re my wife too.”
That statement shouldn’t have the effect on me that it did, a rising swell of heat and pride that had me grinning and arching against the chair back, angling my head for another kiss. I knew it already, but to hear it from him with such a possessive growl was something else entirely.
Gunner’s tongue dove in, claiming my mouth in his little victory as his hand released my breast to settle on the front of my throat. “Stand up,” he ordered.
I rose from the chair, bracing my hands against the vanity while he moved the chair out of the way, then slammed the full length of his body against my backside.
“Gun!” I gasped at the heat of his erection pressing against my ass. My breath was short with his hand on my neck, my pulse firing up with anticipation.
“Fuck, you’re the sexiest little thing,” he groaned, hiking my dress up to my waist. “How do you expect me to control myself around you?” He spanked and groped my ass, grinding his cock against me.
“When did you get so dirty?” I looked at him over my shoulder, catching a rough kiss as he groped my breasts under my dress again.
“Dunno,” he laughed, dragging his teeth along my upper back. “When I was fucking your pretty little ass, maybe. You turned me to the dark side.”
“As bad as your timing is, I like it.” I pressed back against him, rubbing against his jeans in hopes he’d get out of them soon.
“Oh yeah? Let’s see.”
His grip returned to my neck, holding me firmly while his other hand dipped inside my panties. I squirmed and whined, the heel of his palm grinding against my clit while the rest of his hand stroked and teased between my thighs.
