Chapter Seventeen
AMANDINE OPENED HER EYES when a hunger pang pierced her belly. The bedroom was dark, and she could sense Gavin sleeping next to her. The clock on the nightstand said it was a little after three. Her mouth dropped open. She couldn’t believe she’d slept so late!
She got up carefully, trying not to jostle Gavin. He had a busy day ahead, and she didn’t want to disturb him.
She put on a robe and padded barefoot to the kitchen. The marble floor was cold and smooth. Luna had left a note on the fridge: I made a cheese and beef quesadilla for you. Third shelf.
Ooo, my favorite! Amandine heated it in the toaster oven and ate with gusto, taking a spoonful of salsa and guacamole with each bite. Luna made the best Mexican food in the world.
Once she was finished with her snack, she went to the master bath to brush her teeth and wipe the makeup off her face. When she was done, she tossed her robe on the back of a chair and crawled into the deliciously warm bed.
“Hey,” came Gavin’s gravelly voice.
“Sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you.”
“You didn’t wake me up. Something else did.”
“Oh? Wha—”
His mouth covered hers hungrily. “You were taking your sweet time in the bathroom. I thought I’d have to go get you,” he murmured.
“If I’d known you were waiting, I might have hurried.”
He palmed her butt and squeezed, his hands big and hot. “I’ve been thinking about this since this afternoon.” His mouth sought the sensitive spot between her neck and collarbone and found it. She inhaled sharply as he nipped it, then licked it gently.
“Should’ve woken me up,” she breathed out.
“You needed your sleep. And food.”
His concern touched her. She tunneled her fingers into his thick hair, loving what he was doing with his tongue and teeth over her left breast. He hadn’t reached for the pebbled peak yet, just fondling and touching and kissing around it instead. A delicious anticipatory heat started in her belly. He was torturing her, his breath feather-light over her nipple, and she couldn’t wait any longer.
“Don’t be a tease.”
“Never. I take this very seriously.” He flicked the tip of his tongue against her nipple.
She groaned.
“Like it?”
“Love it.”
He pulled the entire nipple with his lips and sucked strongly. Her back arched as white-hot pleasure shot through her. Her eyes rolled as he increased the pressure, driving her insane with his teeth and tongue.
“My god,” she moaned. “Please.”
She felt the vibration of his chuckle on her nipple and came. Pleasure seared through her, incinerating everything from her mind except the incredible ecstasy of his mouth on her breast. Her back arched so hard, she almost dislodged him. She sobbed out her pleasure and the shock that she could come just from having her nipple sucked.
“My god, Gavin,” she said, her voice barely audible. “That was amazing.”

His wife had no idea what amazing meant if she thought that was amazing.
What was amazing was the entirety of her.
Moonlight was coming in through the windows, and Gavin looked at her face. She was utterly relaxed and soft under him, and he wanted to remember the intimacy of the moment, the loveliness of it.
His cock throbbed against her belly. He could feel the liquid heat between her legs, and what self-control he had slipped a notch.
