Emmit scooped me up into his arms as he gave me a seductive look. “The shower of course.”
I wrapped my arms around his neck as Emmit walked me into the bathroom. The color continued into the bathroom and I felt like I had just stepped into a high-priced spa. My eyes landed on the deep tub that was surrounded by windows. I couldn’t wait to see what kind of a view was on the other side of those windows.
Emmit lowered my body slowly down as I felt his hard on pressed into my stomach. His hand ever so slowly lifted my T-shirt over my head. “Addie, do you have any idea how much I want you?”
My teeth sunk into my lower lip as I smiled and slowly nodded my head. “Show me, Emmit.”
It wasn’t long before I was whispering Emmit’s name as he slowly made love to me in the shower. My heart felt light as a feather as I basked in his sweet passionate lovemaking.
After drying me off ever so gently, Emmit carried me out to the bed. He placed me gently down as he crawled over me and sucked my lower lip into his mouth. “I’m going to hold you all night so when I wake up in the morning, I’ll know this hasn’t all been a dream.”
Warmth radiated throughout my body as my eyes searched Emmit’s face. A smile spread across my face and I was sure no matter how hard I tried, I wouldn’t be able to wipe it from my face.
Emmit lifted the covers as we both slipped under them. Turning on my side, Emmit pulled me into his body as we both sighed.
“Tell me what you’re thinking right at this moment, Addie.”
I didn’t even need time to think of my response. The words flowed out of my mouth as a single tear rolled down my cheek.
“I’m finally home.”
THE SOUNDS OF THE BIRDS chirping outside the window woke me as I adjusted my eyes to the light. Turning to my left, I smiled as I watched the love of my life sleeping peacefully. I couldn’t wait to show her more of the house and take her out on the boat. Last night had been amazing, and I knew if she loved what she saw so far, the rest was going to be easy.
My hand slowly trailed down her arm as Adaline let out a contented sigh and rolled over to face me. Her eyes opened as she gave me one hell of a smile. “Morning,” she said.
A piece of her light brown hair hung over her eye as she looked at me with nothing but love in her eyes. Pushing it behind her ear, I barely spoke above a whisper as I tried to control my emotions, “Morning, pumpkin.”
Instantly her lip was between her teeth as her eyes fell to my lips. “I’m hungry.”
I pulled her closer to me as I smiled. “For me or food?”
Her finger traced along my jaw line as she caught my eyes with hers. “Both. But I’m pretty sure I need fuel first.”
I kissed her on the forehead and said, “I’ve got the perfect place to go for breakfast. Dress casual.”
Adaline’s eyes lit up as she popped up and out of bed like she’d been up for hours. “Okay!”
Bouncing off to the bathroom, I let out a growl from the back of my throat as I watched her perfect ass sway as she walked.
“I heard that, Mr. Lewis.”
How in the hell did I luck out with this woman?
My heart felt light in my chest as I swung my legs out and got out of bed. I quickly threw on some shorts and a T-shirt as I called out to Adaline, “I’ll meet you in the kitchen, Addie. I have a couple calls to make.”
“Kay! I won’t be long.” Adaline called out from the bathroom.
After getting her bags and leaving them on the bed, I made my way to the kitchen and made two phones calls. By the time I was finished, Adaline was standing in the kitchen with a smile on her face.
“Emmit, this house is amazing. It’s even more beautiful during the day.”
I walked over to her and lifted her hand as I kissed the back of it softly. “Let’s take a quick tour and then we are off for breakfast.”
Adaline gave a quick nod of her head as I led her through the rest of the house. Some day I hoped to hear little feet running all over this place. For now though, I was happy with it being the two of us.
After showing Adaline the inside of the house, I led her outside. Sucking in a breath, Adaline came to a stop. “Oh. My. Word. Emmit. It looks like a picture.” My smile spread wide across my face as I studied Adaline’s reaction. Taking her hand in mine, we walked down the cobblestone path to the deck.
“I could totally see myself sitting here reading a book,” Adaline said as we passed by the outdoor sectional sofa.
We made our way down to the dock and stopped at the boat as I motioned for Adaline to get in. She glanced over her shoulder at me with a surprised expression. “You have a boat?”
“Yep.”
After getting everything ready to go, I jumped into the boat and started it up as I pulled away from the dock.
“I thought we were eating breakfast?” Addie asked as she closed her eyes and leaned her head back, letting the wind kiss her face.
“We are. We’re going to one of my favorite places to eat.”
