Her voice tight as Ty rose above her, her body shifting to take him in, Niki smiled and said, “I guess that worked.”
With a sigh of satisfaction, Niki felt him fill her.
She arched beneath him with pleasure and then wrapped her legs around his to keep him there within her. She loved the feel of him inside her, the sweet ache he eased, as a delicious tension filled her.
He lowered his mouth to hers, brushed hers with his own.
“You could say that,” he answered, then smiled and added, “You could say I’m working the stiffness out.”
She laughed and then he drove deeper, shifting his hips to feel every inch of her around him.
Niki moaned, lips parting on a sigh as her eyelids fluttered.
“Ty,” she whispered.
“Love you,” Ty said, feeling her tighten around him.
“God that’s so good,” she said, softly. “I love you, too.”
She cried out as her pleasure rushed through her, color washing beneath her skin. Her body tightened around him.
He loved to watch her like this, to feel her as she closed around him, her hands clinging to him. His own release raced through him.
Rolling onto his back, he curled her against him as she wrapped a leg around one of his.
He heard the sound of the front door opening in the front hall. Only one person had the spare key.
Buck called, “Hello, you up?”
Ty looked at Niki, grinned wryly. “Honeymoon is over, I guess?”
She grinned back. “Until later.”
He liked that, almost as much as he liked watching his naked wife cross the room to the bath.
The idea still made him shake his head in disbelief. His wife.
He thought he’d get used to it someday, at about the same time that he got used to seeing Niki’s lovely naked body stretched next to him.
“Down in a minute, Buck,” Ty called.
“I’ll start the coffee,” Buck answered. “We’ve got a call…”
