“Cookie,” he growls again.
Sitting on the table is a black box witha gold bow. I walk around the table, narrowing my eyes at Cole, who hasfollowed me out of the bedroom. “What’s this?”
He gives me his sex ad smile and shrugs.“Open it and find out.”
I pull on the bow, opening the box.Inside is a diamond starburst bracelet encased in yellow gold and largestarburst diamond earrings to match. “Oh my goodness, they’re beautiful.” Itouch them gingerly.
Cole walks around to my side of thetable. “Here, let me help you put them on.”
I hold my wrist out as he clasps thebracelet for me. I’m not sure I will ever get used to the way Cole sees me. Allthe things he does for me because he loves me. He truly is a wonder. He holdsthe earrings out for me. When they are on, I spin around. “Ta da.”
“You’re absolutely gorgeous.” He grabs myhands, wrapping them around his neck, kissing me lightly. “And perfect.”
“Thank you.”
Outside, instead of the Escalade, astretch limo is waiting under the canopy. “The stretch hummer.” I smile,tugging Cole’s hand. “Just you and me? Or are Coop and Alan riding with us?”
He gives me a seductive look. “Just us.”Cole opens the door for me and helps me in. His hand skims up my thigh to myass as I get in. I sit down, crossing my legs and looking out the window. Colescoots next to me, pushing my hair off my shoulder. He kisses behind my ear anddown my neck. His hand slightly rubs the top of my knee. “Kate,” he whispers.
“Hmm,” I say, still looking out thewindow.
His fingers skim along my knee and up mythigh. Suddenly it’s gone and his hands are on my hips, and he’s scooted me downand on my back.
“Hey.” But I can’t hide my smile. I tryto cross my arms, but Cole grips my wrists, pushing our hands above my head.
“Oh no. No pouting tonight. Leave yourhands there, Cookie.” He lets go of my wrists. He slowly runs his hands up theinside of my legs until he gets to the top. “You, Mrs. Holt, are becoming quitethe temptress.” Cole runs his thumb lightly over the top of my folds. “Nopanties.”
“Oh, I knew I forgot something.” He skimsa finger between my legs again but doesn’t apply any pressure.
“Oh god, Kate, I’m so undone by you.”Before I can protest, Cole pushes my dress up my thighs, spreading my legs.
“I—Cole…” But I trail off when his tongueflicks out against my bundle of nerves. My hips arch, wanting more.
Fifteen minutes later, we enter thenightclub through the back entrance. I wobble out of the limo, my legs stillweak from Cole’s pleasurable assault. He wraps an arm around my waist to steadyme and kisses my cheek. “Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?” heremarks, holding the door open for me.
“Yes, you have.”
He pulls me to him with an arm around myneck. “If it’s possible, you look even more beautiful since that last orgasm.”
“Stop.”
“What? It’s true.”
Standing at the bar are Cooper and Kit.
“Hey fellas.” I say, sauntering up nextto them.
“Hey Kate.” Kit holds up his drink,saluting me.
“Kate.” Cooper gives me a once over.“Looks like you’ve gotten a head start on the night’s festivities.”
“Nope, nothing to drink yet.”
“Oh, I wasn’t talking about alcohol. I’mtalking about what usually comes after the alcohol.”
“Oh,” my cheeks heat with embarrassment.
“Cooper.” Cole squeezes in between me andCoop.
