“I’m going to see the DA alone.”
I round the counter and this time when she tries to escape, I don’t let her. I snag her hand and pull her to me, trapping her between me and the island. “Talk first,” she says, her hands on my chest.
“Sorry, sweetheart, but I’ve already been between your legs in that car. Talk after.”
“No.”
“Yes.” I turn her to face the island and drag her jacket off her shoulders, but when I would remove it, I tangle it around her arms, and then turn her to face me again. “You were saying?”
“This changes nothing. I need to convince the DA—”
I lean in and kiss her, a deep stroke of tongue before I say, “Nothing you say to the DA will matter if I don’t convince him I’m pussy-whipped and doing what you want.”
She laughs. “Like anyone would believe that.”
“Sweetheart, anyone that’s with us five minutes knows I’ll do anything for you.” I reach up and rip the buttons off her shirt.
She gasps, and I swallow it with my mouth over hers before I repeat my words, “I would do anything for you.”
“Then let me go alone.”
“As long as I get to storm in and convince him you went on your own and then negotiate that settlement.”
“That’s your plan?”
“Yes.”
“Oh.”
I pull her bra down and tweak her nipples. “Do we agree?”
“Yes,” she agrees.
“Then either you’re going on top of the counter with your legs on my shoulders or you can go down on your knees and make me promise.”
“I have no hands.”
“Your point?”
She bites her lip and says, “I want that promise.” She goes down on her knees.

Iwake pressed close to Cole and smile. This is my life now. I start every day with this man holding me. This is not someone else’s fairy tale. It’s mine and it’s real. “Morning,” Cole murmurs, kissing my forehead. “You’re awake.”
I raise to my elbow to look at him, a light stubble of dark brown shadowing his jaw, his hair a rumpled, sexy mess. “And you’re wide awake.”
“Not for long.”
“You’re worried about the DA,” I say.
“No. I woke up holding my wife, and decided to enjoy it before the alarm went off.”
His cellphone rings on the nightstand. “Or my phone rang. And so, it’s already begun.” He reaches across me, kisses me hard and fast in the process, and then grabs his phone to glance at the screen. “Reid. I’ll put him on speaker.” Cole punches the answer button.
“What the fuck, Cole?”
