“Yes.” She smiles shyly and bites my thumb. “It’s an age-old custom that goes back to thecavemen.”

“What about your concussion? I don’t want you having any kind ofrelapse.”

A smile lights her face. “I just got the go-ahead from the doctor to do mild exercise because I’m recovering so well. He said some aerobic activity could help repair additionaltissue.”

“Babe, how can you categorize make-up sex asmildexercise?” I’m not sure banging her like a screen door in a hurricane constitutes mild exercise. “Maybe we should holdoff.”

“You want to hold off? After not being together for weeks?” She reaches behind her, the sound of a zipper filling the room before her dress drops to the floor. “Really?” Brain function deserts me at the sight of Jojo in a strapless, sheer lace bra, garters, and matching panties. Her nipples are hard little points on her perky-as-fuck breasts. “Cat got yourtongue?”

“No, but I have an idea of where I’d like to put my tongue.” I undo my bowtie, my attention riveted on her mouthwatering cleavage. “How about I do all thework?”

“Now you’rethinking.”

The way she watches me as I strip out of my clothes sends my blood marching south. By the time I’m in my boxer briefs, my cock wants to punch a hole out of thematerial.

“Baby,” she gasps and reaches down to my thigh where that bullet took a chunk of me with it. The stitches are out, and it doesn’t hurt much anymore. She runs her finger along thegouge.

“Gonna kiss it and make it feel better?” I smirk, wanting to forget that bullshit. Tonight is about me and mywoman.

When her lips graze my thigh, my cockjerks.

But I don’t want her on her knees. Tonight I wanna worshipher.

I tug her gently to her feet. “You’re wearing too manyclothes.”

With her eyes locked on mine, she steps back. One by one, she pulls a few clips out of her hair, and long wavy tresses tumble down her bareshoulders.

Damn.

The girl next door has got it goingon.

My little minx kicks off her heels and crawls onto the bed, her ass swaying back andforth.

I might need to bite thatass.

“Get back here.” I grab her ankle and drag her across the bed. She’s all giggles and playfulsmirks.

This moment is so similar to our last morning together, the day everything went to hell, except now there’s nothing between us. No secrets or half-truths. Nothing I’m holding back. I’ve never felt this good or certain about where Jo and I areheaded.

The second she’s in my arms, I let out a sigh. Fuck, it feels amazing to be with her again likethis.

With my back to the headboard and Joey in my lap, I take my time to enjoy this moment. My lips drag against hers as I breathe her in, and I let my fingers leisurely slide up and down her thighs to play with her garters. “When did you get these? They’re hot assin.”

Those lashes turn down, pink rising in her cheeks. “They were agift.”

I still. “Who the hell is buying you lingerie?” If Patrick bought her underwear, he’s a dead man. Why didn’t I think to do this? If anyone should be buying my woman lacy, sheer panties, it’sme.

A smirk pulls up her lips. “Tori got it for me. She said if she was getting laid tonight, I shouldtoo.”

Laughter breaks out of me. “Holy shit. That girl is too much.” My new sister-in-law is definitely getting a good Christmas gift this year. I pull Joey’s legs tighter to my thighs, so she can feel how she affects me. “Good thing I didn’t know what you were wearing during the ceremony. It’s probably rude to have a boner during someone’swedding.”

She giggles, but the sound turns into a moan when I rock her againstme.

“Relax, baby. Let me do the work.” Through the lace, I take a taut nipple in my mouth and clutch her ass in my hands, grateful for the fabric between us slowing us down so I can savortonight.

For the last two years, I’ve been running in circles and trying to put out fires. While I’ll never regret taking care of my family, I’m ready to reclaim my life. And it starts and ends with this woman in myarms.

With a lust-drunk look in her eyes that likely reflects my own expression, Jo pushes up just enough to slide down my boxer briefs. I lift my hips to help her. Then it’s just that tiny scrap of lace between us when she settles down on my hardcock.
