“I always suspected you weren’t like the rest of the men in your family.” Danielle kissed him again, her lips soft and forgiving. “Now I know why.”
Compelled to start showing her how much he adored her, he took her breasts in his hands and grunted in encouragement when she arched up to his touch. “I love you so much, Danielle. From now on, you’ll never have reason to doubt that.”
Cocoa nudged his thigh with her muzzle. When he ignored her, she pawed at his leg until he noticed the two small figures standing in the doorway.
“Are you hugging Mommy again?” Luke smiled sleepily at Hale.
“I can’t help it. I’m crazy about her.” The interruption made his body roar in protest. Hale slid his hands off Danielle’s chest and locked his arms behind the small of her back. “What are you boys doing up?”
“I heard thunder, so I woke Drew and told him to come with me to your room.” Luke rubbed his eyes and yawned. “Can we sleep with you?”
Danielle let out a startled laugh and shrugged with a shake of her head. “Luke won’t be able to go back to bed until the storm passes.”
“You boys can stay until the thunder stops.” Hale took a deep breath, tamping down his raging libido. He supposed he’d have to get used to these interruptions now that he was a parent of two little boys. As the twins vaulted across the room in joyful abandon, he smirked at his wife. “We need a bigger bed, Dani.”
“Anything you ask.”
Hale pressed a kiss against her temple and watched the boys scramble under the covers. A moment passed before he digested what he’d just heard. “Did you say what I think you said?”
“Yes. I just admitted I loved you.” Her delicate hands cupped his jaw. “Isn’t that what you’ve been telling us every time you said those words?”
“Every single time,” he admitted, jubilation kicking his heart into a rapid beat. He squeezed her, amazed to see her pretty green eyes beaming upward. The possibility of a happy future made his entire body tighten with want. His next words were a hoarse plea. “Tell me again.”
“I love you, Hale.” Her voice lowered to a sexy murmur for him only. “To prove it, I’m going to make love to you every night for the next fifty years. You’re the only one who makes me happy. I want to stay right here, with you.”
“You saved me from the people who were supposed to love me. I’m yours,” he pledged, directing his next words into her ear. “As soon as the thunder fades, I’m sending the boys back to their room so I can have you all to myself.”
She burst into a radiant smile. “What are you going to do to me?”
“Anything you ask, sweetheart. Anything at all.”
A word about the author...
