Karson loved his wife.
He was convinced he was the luckiest man on earth to be able to watch her make her way down the stairs of their home looking like a billion bucks. In a gold sequined dress that was long-sleeved and hugged every single inch of her sexy body, her legs went on for days in black tights with high black heels. Her hair was up in a twist and her makeup was dramatic and smoky, bringing out the flecks of gold in her green eyes. She was stunning.
And all fucking his.
“Damn, woman! I’m supposed to take you out when you are that damn hot?”
A sneaky grin came over her face as she took his hand. “Yes. I spent two hours getting this hot. You are taking me out.”
His heart pounding in his chest as he brought her in close, his mouth dusted against her glossed-up lips. “Or, I can take you upstairs and ring in the new year by banging into you.”
She gasped against his lips as his hands cupped her sweet ass. “While I would love that—because you know they say what you are doing and who you are with on New Year’s is how you’ll spend that year, I have to say, I want to go out and enjoy the night that Fallon has worked so hard on,” she said and he groaned in protest. “Plus, we find out if Kacey makes the team tonight, and if we are banging all night, we won’t answer the phone.”
He smiled as he nodded. “Smart woman I am married to.”
“Damn right,” she said, kissing his lips. “Now off we go. I want to shake my booty!”
She pulled from his grip, but he snatched her back in, pressing his growing erection against the swell of her ass and nipping at her earlobe. “No shaking. I can’t handle that.”
Her laughter was airy. “Why not? Won’t it turn you on?”
“More than you’ll ever know, and then I’ll be hard all night wanting to be inside that sweet ass.”
“Mmm,” she moaned as his fingers danced on the outside of her thighs. Slowly she moved her ass against him but then broke away, a teasing grin on her face. “Guess you’ll have to want me all night.”
He scoffed “Baby, I want you every fucking second of the day. Come here, let me get a piece real quick.”
“No way. We are leaving, come on,” she said, walking away quickly and then out the door without waiting for him.
Man. She drove him insane.
And he loved every second of it.
The Assassins’ New Year’s party was the biggest event of the year.
Fallon Brooks put on one hell of a party, and Karson was always impressed by her skills. The party was covered in purple and black, the Assassins’ colors. The Christmas tree that was so tall it reached the roof of the arena was covered in Assassins memorabilia. Each guy’s jersey adorned the tree and then pictures of the guys with their families brought something special to it. Before, it used to be a picture of just Karson with his family, but this year, it was a picture of him and Lacey in front of their tree, completely and utterly in love.
He loved these parties; he got to drink it up and shoot the shit with his brothers. Most of the guys were married to unbelievable women, and the guys who weren’t brought their little hot dates, trying to outdo each other in a friendly game. It blew his mind how, in such a short time, everything had changed for him. He used to be that guy, bringing the hottest chick he could in the hopes of outdoing all his other single teammates.
Now though, he was outdoing all the married guys because his wife was smoking.
Wrapping his arm around Lacey’s middle, he smiled as she gushed to Audrey and Tate Odder.
“I am so excited for you!”
Audrey’s eyes were misty as she smiled in thanks. “It’s insane and so amazing, but I am really freaking pregnant and so damn sick!”
“Do you know if it is just one or two or four?” Lacey asked, her eyes bright.
Audrey nodded. “The ultrasound showed only one. It’s our little fighter.”
