“Yeah.”
“What does that mean?”
He waved a hand lazily in the air. “I’ll maneuver you into a few different positions, see which ones you can take me in without gasping in shock.”
She was already gasping in shock. “What positions?”
“I dunno. I’ll move you around, see what works.”
“Move me around,” she echoed. “Like a doll.”
He rolled to his side and kissed her. “Like a lover. You’ll like it.”
“That’s how it’s gonna be, huh?”
He shifted, lying flat on his back again. “That’s how it’s gonna be. And I won’t hear any complaints tomorrow, that’s for sure.”
“And why is that?”
“Because your legs will be around my ears.”
She throbbed at the thought, hot all over. How could he do that so easily? She propped up on an elbow to look at him. His eyes were closed, his thick lashes fanned out on his cheeks, a small smile on his full lips. She adored this man.
She kissed him. “Dirty, dirty mouth.”
“Ha. You like it.”
“I love it.”And I love you.The thought scared her. Because where did they go from here? Mixing together six kids, forcing them to become a family when their own families had fallen apart. She knew her kids couldn’t handle it. Vinny’s kids might even resent her trying to take their mother’s place. Not that she ever could, but kids viewed the world differently than an adult.
Not for the first time she wished she’d met Vinny under different circumstances.
He got out of bed, magnificently naked, heading to the bathroom. He returned a few minutes later, turned off the light, and slid into bed with her. “Night.”
It was the first time they’d ever said goodnight and actually spent the night together. “Night,” she whispered, rolling to her side, her usual sleeping position.
He wrapped an arm around her and spooned her from behind, heating her entire body.
“You ever think about the future?” she whispered.
“Try not to.”
“Why?”
“Because I worry about the kids.”
Boy, did she get that. Easier to take it one day at a time. One crisis at a time. She fidgeted a bit, not used to sleeping with a man.
He put a hand to her head, stilling her. “Sleep. You’ll need your energy to take me on tomorrow.” He was teasing with his sexy banter.
“I thought you were going easy on me tomorrow.”
He sank his teeth into the side of her neck and she gasped. His voice was velvet. “I’ll be going easy; you’ll be coming hard over and over and over.”
Electrified, she lay in the dark, eyes wide open, imagining all he’d promised. She had no doubt he’d follow through magnificently. Compatibility? Check. Future? Big old question mark.
