Finally, Jamie collapsed down next to her and pulled her in against his bare chest, his twitching cock still pulsating inside her.

Sometime during the night, Lucy woke up disoriented, unsure where she was or whom she was with. The room was dark but as she felt around the bed for her phone, her hand came into contact with Jamie’s warm body and it all came back to her. She found the phone and checked the time; it was just after three a.m.
They’d gone back to the reception until it was all over, then promptly returned to the room and had sex again.
Then again.
Who’d have thought that with all the bad boys she’d dated, it would be the nice guy professor—and despite everything, despite all his money, despite his new position, that’s how she continued to think of Jamie—that would blow her mind in bed. Everyone who came after him would be measured by his skill and sheer passion.
And she knew they’d come up lacking.
The thought of sleeping with other men, which of course meant she’d no longer be sleeping with Jamie, caused a pang in her chest. It’s how she felt anytime she thought about their silly pretend engagement coming to an end, when all she should be focusing on was winning custody of Milly and the changes having a baby in her life were going to bring.
She was going to be a single parent. Unlike Melina, she wasn’t going to have a wonderful man like Rhys to help her raise Milly. She couldn’t forget that. She couldn’t forget who and what she was.
She’d played the game well so far. She’s managed to get along with Jamie’s family and friends, and while she’d tolerated her “proper” clothes in the beginning, she’d actually started to feel comfortable and sexy in them before the night was over. But she wouldn’t be able to keep up a charade like this for long. She just hoped she could keep it together long enough to get Mason’s family to withdraw their objections to her gaining custody of Milly.
She sighed and burrowed underneath the soft comforter, breathing in Jamie’s scent and the scent of their lovemaking. Neither of them could get enough of each other, and just thinking about it now gave her a tickle deep down inside. Needing to be closer to him, she shifted until she pressed again him, skin to skin. Even that wasn’t close enough, so she put her arm across his chest and her leg across his legs and snuggled in.
Jamie made a happy, sleepy sound and pulled her in even tighter. He kissed the top of her head before she heard his breathing become slow and even once more.
Lying in his arms, feeling his heartbeat and listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing, she realized how incomparably happy she was. The only other time she’d been this happy was when she’d been teaching, or hanging out with Melina and Grace. It was at those moments she knew she could be completely herself.
Apparently she’d found one more such place—in the safe haven of Jamie’s arms. So she’d enjoy the feeling for as long as she could. She’d enjoy the rest of their time together and deal with the rest only when she had to.
She placed a gentle kiss on Jamie’s shoulder.
And then fell back asleep, a contented smile on her face.
