“Ellery,” I moaned as I couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Connor,” she wailed as I poured myself into her.
Her body tightened as she threw her head back and came. My lips forcefully locked with hers, and I didn’t want to stop. I finally broke our kiss and looked at her. She was smiling at me as I collapsed on top of her. Our breathing was shallow, and our heart rates were beating at the same speed.
“God, how I’ve missed having sex with you,” Ellery said breathlessly.
I kissed her neck before rolling off of her. “I’ve missed it too, baby. You felt so good,” I said as I ran the back of my hand across her cheek.
Suddenly, little sounds came through the monitor. Ellery and I looked at the monitor on the dresser. Julia was stirring in her crib. A soft cry came from her and we looked at each other.
“Don’t worry; I’ll get her if she continues to cry.” I smiled as I ran my finger across her jaw line.
“It’s okay; I’ll get her. You just worked very hard.” Ellery smiled back.
We lay there in each other’s arms, staring at the monitor and waiting for Julia to wake up. She didn’t. As I reached my hand down in between Ellery’s legs, I whispered, “Are you ready for round two?”
Chapter 7
Ellery
As I awoke, I reached over to put my arm around Connor, but his side of the bed was empty. I sat up and looked around. I didn’t hear the shower running and Julia wasn’t in her crib. I put my robe on and walked down the stairs to the kitchen. Connor was sitting at the table with Julia in his arms, feeding her a bottle.
“Good morning, baby.” He smiled as he looked up at me.
“Good morning,” I said as I walked over and gave him and Julia a kiss. “Why didn’t you wake me? I would’ve gotten her.”
“You looked so peaceful sleeping, and I was already awake when she woke up.”
I poured a cup of coffee and sat down in the chair next to him. He looked so sexy in his black suit, and I wanted to take him upstairs and devour him before he had to leave for the office.
“Is something special going on today? You hardly ever wear a suit to the office.”
“I have to go to court today. I told you last week,” he said as he looked at me.
“Shit, Ashlyn and the trial. I completely forgot. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. You just had a baby and you’re still trying to adjust. Don’t worry about it,” he said as he put Julia over his shoulder to burp her.
Denny walked into the kitchen and headed straight to the coffee pot.
“Good morning.” He smiled as he looked at us.
“Good morning, Denny.” I smiled in return.
As Connor was burping Julia, she decided to spit up all down the back of his suit coat. I jumped up as he looked at me.
“Seriously?” he said.
I tried so hard to contain my laughter, as did Denny, but we both couldn’t hold it anymore. I took Julia from Connor and held her while Denny handed him a towel.
“Don’t you know by now that you shouldn’t feed a baby while wearing a suit?” Denny asked.
“I guess I do now,” Connor said as he walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs to change.
Claire came into the kitchen, and I handed Julia to her. I walked upstairs and into the bedroom where Connor was pulling out another suit from the closet. I stood there with a smirk on my face.
“What’s that look for?” he asked.
“I just think it’s funny; that’s all.”
“You think it’s funny that our daughter spit up all over my five-thousand-dollar suit?”
“I do, and you don’t need a five-thousand-dollar suit anyway. That’s a ridiculous amount of money to spend. No one is going to know it costs that much, and you look just as sexy in a five-hundred-dollar suit.”
Connor pursed his lips together and put the suit he pulled out back in the closet. As he started walking slowly towards me, I knew the look on his face, and I knew I was in trouble. When he approached me, I put up my hands to prevent him from coming any closer. He grabbed my hands and threw me on the bed.
“You know how much I love it when you babble on like that.” He smiled.
“Please, Connor, whatever you do, don’t tickle me,” I begged.
Suddenly, we heard Denny’s voice from downstairs. “Connor, let’s go. You’re already late.”
Connor kissed me on the lips. “You’re lucky, Mrs. Black. But make no mistake; we will continue this tonight.”
“I’ll be ready.” I winked.
Connor let go of my hands and walked back to the closet and pulled out his suit. I went back to the kitchen and took Julia from Claire. Shortly after changing his suit, Connor came down, grabbed his briefcase, and we walked him to the elevator.
“Bye, my beautiful little girl.” Connor smiled as he kissed Julia on her head. “And goodbye to you, my beautiful wife,” he said as he kissed me on the lips.
