He leaned back; I used the movement to run the cloth across one shoulder then back across his chest again.
“I knew the moment I saw you that you were special.”
“Pfft.”
“It sounds?—”
“Like you’re ready to make grits with all that corn,” I remarked, holding back laughter. My big, sometimes goofy, work-a-holic man was a teddy bear under the rough exterior. Too bad the only one who got to see that was me—and of course, Lola. I was sure his mom and grandma knew how he was too. He was just like his dad. Hard on the outside with a gooey marshmallow center.
His bark of laughter made me grin. “Yeah, okay. I’ll give you that one.”
I responded, “It was all up to the fates, or God, or whoever/whatever guides us through life. They made us meet and then be separate. That time apart, for me at least, looking back on it, was just what I needed. It gave me a unique perspective. If I could redo it, I wouldn’t. Everything has turned out just as it should be.”
“I’ll forever be grateful for our second chance. Never doubt that.”
“I don’t.” I pressed a kiss to his jaw as I let the washcloth slide further into the water, my hand moving to wash every part of him. He jerked slightly when it slid over his semi hard cock. I made sure to move along his thigh, as far as I could reach, then I released the cloth to gently take him in my hand, letting the water help me move it up and down his shaft smoothly.
No matter what anyone said, I would never get enough of this man. And thankfully, he felt the same about me.
My lips pressed against his neck as I worked his length, his body relishing in the sensations coursing through him.
“Fuuck…” his words trailed off into a long groan when my grip tightened slightly. My hand folded up and down the silky skin of his cock, my thumb teasing the tip each time.
“I’ve got you.” I nipped at his ear.
This side of him, the man who let me take charge so that I could show him some of the same attention he gave me—it was sexy as hell.
With each day that we got to be together, to love one another, to love our daughter—I could never imagine my life being any different now. This was a new normal. A new life that, even if I were a little hesitant in the beginning, I wouldn’t change for anything.
James’ body started to tense, his orgasm imminent. Smiling, I worked him faster, squeezing his shaft harder on the upstroke.
His entire body went taut when he came with a sudden jerk. His bucking hips sloshed water onto the floor. I couldn’t help but be proud of this moment. I’d been the one to bring him to release. To give him pure pleasure.
And we had two more days before everyone else would get here. I couldn’t wait.
Chapter 7
James
This surprise vacation has done wonders for my mental health.
I hadn’t realized how stressed I was until that stress was left behind. I loved the family business. I didn’t mind taking over and becoming the face of Whitman Publishing. Continuing the family legacy that my grandfather had started, well, it’s one of the best parts of my life.
In my younger days, I was the partier. Let’s just go have fun. Granted, it might still have been that way if my dad hadn’t stepped in when he did. The moment I started to take charge of my own life, leaving behind the bad boy days, life started to change.
I’d found the woman who got away. That one in a million person who just got you. Lee probably wanted to knock me in the head as much as she wanted to kiss me. In my defense, I’d gone from a bachelor trying to get his life straight to being a father. Falling hard for the woman who’d knocked me off my feet. I’d lost her before I’d even known what I had. The universe was giving us—me—a second chance. I wouldn’t let my girls down.
I could hear her shifting under the covers. My lips tugged into a smile as I watched her from where I sat on the balcony. She was reaching for me only to find the bed empty. She sat up slowly, her hair mussed, her eyes barely opened. She never looked my way, just grumbled to herself as she slid from the bed. Her bare feet padded into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, she came back out, her hands scrubbing over her face and through her now brushed hair. She was the most beautiful woman I’d ever laid eyes on. Long legs, curves, breasts that fit in my palms. Sex on two legs. That was my girl.
“James?” she yawned around my name.
“Out here, beautiful.”
She jerked in surprise then smiled as she caught sight of me. The sun was just starting to come up over the mountains that surrounded us.
“Aren’t you cold out here?” she asked, her arms going around her waist. The long tank top she wore did little to cover her.
