Mr V (Mrs R & Mr V Book 2)

  “Indeed.” Joe growled. They both remained silent caught up in the afterglow of their powerful lovemaking until Rachel lifted her head and spotted the time.

  “Oh look, it’s gone midnight. Happy Valentine’s Day.” Rachel snorted and rolled off Joe’s chest and on to her back. The mattress felt cool on her damp skin and she reached down to the covers pulling them up to her armpits. Joe rolled over and snuggled into her side nuzzling her shoulder. “S’alright Joe – I know you’re a non-believer.” Rachel sighed and kissed his forehead.

  “Baby – it’s not that, and believe me if anything was going to change my mind it would be all the effort you made tonight. You were incredible Rachel and I’m the luckiest guy alive.”

  Rachel grinned and blushed a little. “Glad you liked it. But seriously Joe – I know it’s just a silly day, I just like having the excuse to show you how much I love you.”

  “There’s nothing silly about that – I could learn a lesson or two from you.”

  “Oh yeah? If you’re thinking of giving me a lap dance then don’t let me stop you.” Rachel laughed imagining Joe stripping for her, gyrating his hips and mighty fine arse to a seductive beat.

  “Never say never darlin’ - I might just surprise you one of these days.” Joe’s hot breath teased her ear and Rachel sighed. She was so happy she sometimes thought it couldn’t be true. After losing Nate and then Luc, Rachel was so sure she’d never strike lucky a third time, but Joe was everything she’d ever dreamed of and so much more. She really didn’t need a Valentine’s Day card when she had the sexiest man on two legs in her bed proving to her on a regular basis just how much he loved her. She yawned feeling sated and sleepy and they snuggled up closer until slumber took them.

  CHAPTER 5

  Morning rolled around and Rachel woke to an empty bed and an extremely full bladder. Easing herself on to her feet she cursed as her body screamed in protest. Last night was amazing but at her age she was paying dearly for it the next day. She shuffled to the bathroom and went to the loo; brushed her hair and wrapped her robe around her, then went off to find Joe. She grabbed the card she’d hidden in her dressing table and hoped beyond hope that he had the coffee going.

  Joe heard Rachel thundering down the stairs. It always amused him that for someone so light she was incredibly heavy footed. He dashed to the kitchen doorway skidding to a halt and filled up the space with his big body denying her entrance “Whatcha doing Joe?” Rachel tried to peer around him but he blocked her view with his t-shirt clad torso. Rachel lifted her head to look at him questioningly and his knees actually went weak as he looked into her big brown eyes. She was so gorgeous she made his heart beat faster.

  “That for me?” Joe cocked his head at her and grabbed the card.

  “Hey!”

  “Close your eyes and no peeking.” Rachel frowned then did as she was told and Joe wriggled behind her and covered her eyes with his hand. He then nudged her slowly forward until they reached the table where he manoeuvred her in to a chair. “Ok you can open them now.” Rachel grinned and made lots of approving noises as she took in the view. Joe had made her breakfast. He’d laid a pretty cloth over the table and used the posh chinaware and crystal. He passed her a flute filled with expensive champagne and they each sipped at the bubbles. There were baskets of different kinds of rolls and breads and exquisite looking pastries, and platters of cheese and cold meat and smoked salmon and fruit and handmade chocolates. It looked divine and she was touched by all the trouble he’d gone to.

  “Oh Joe this is fabulous. My mouth is watering just looking at it – can we eat?” Joe laughed as Rachel licked her lips. One of the things he adored about her was her ability to appreciate food and indulge herself. No lettuce leaves for his Rachel, and they often enjoyed a good meal together.

  “In a minute sweetheart. First let me give you this.” Joe presented her with a card and a gift bag from De Beers. “Happy Valentine’s Day.” Rachel shrieked and jumped on to his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck and squeezed.

  “Yay! You’ve come over to the dark side. I’m so happy…you open your card first.” Joe obliged by ripping open the envelope to find a cute card with two fat teddy bears on the front cuddling under a shower of pink hearts. “I didn’t write much as I think you’ll agree my actions spoke for themselves!” Rachel was obviously referring to last night and Joe’s cock twitched at the memory.

  “Oh yeah – no words needed.” He hugged her tight. “Go on – open your stuff now.”

  Rachel tore open her card almost forgetting about her present and cried when she read the words that had taken Joe so long to compose. She sniffed her way through his beautiful declaration of love and kissed him hard. He wiped away her tears and urged her to open the gift. “Oh fuck – that’s perfect.” He’d bought Rachel a platinum necklace with a large heart charm filled with floating diamonds. “Put it on me.” Her hands were shaking too much to master the catch and Joe took the jewellery from her and fastened it around her neck. He loosened her robe and let the sleeves fall away from her shoulders so he could appreciate his purchase against her skin with no distractions.

  “You look exquisite. I love you Rachel; no more today than every day. But I’m glad to have the excuse to show and tell. I promise that on every February 14th for the rest of our lives I’ll use the same excuse just because it makes you happy.”

  “You make me very happy Joe. Thank you for everything; I love it and I love you - so much.” They kissed passionately and for a long time until Rachel finally broke them apart. She nuzzled his nose. “Joe?”

  “Hmm baby, what?”

  “Can we eat now I’m starving?”
