me like I was capable of so much more than I was being.”
His heart pounded against my palm. “I didn’t see that in myself.
Even now there are days I doubt myself, but you never
did.”
He pulled me into his arms, but never gave
up our eye contact. “I loved you, my love. I wanted nothing but the
best for you. Even if I wasn’t part of that picture.”
Slipping my hands around his neck, I stroked
the nape and felt him shiver against me. Stretching up, I kissed
him. Showing him how deeply I felt for him. He allowed me the lead
as I swept into his mouth and caressed his tongue with mine.
His hands tightened on the small of my back,
pressing me to him.
When I ended the kiss, more than a little
breathless, I said, “If we decide to move forward and take our
relationship to the next level, which I want to, I’m not sure how
my family will take this. Well, besides my Aunt Renee…Lord that
woman has been singing your praises all day.”
He chuckled. “Your auntie has always had a
special place in my heart.”
“ There better be room
enough in there for me.” Teasing I poked him in the
chest.
“ All the rest of my heart
is yours. How about I let you share my shower with me and I show
you.” Kissing me, he lowered his hands to my ass and lifted
me.
Wrapping my arms and legs around him I fully
gave myself over to the kiss. My head was spinning and my body was
starting to have that all-over aching desire again. No other man
did this to me—caused me to go from zero to sixty in sensual
seconds.
Over the next few hours, I found myself in
the shower with the man I loved, bathed, sexed up, bathed again. We
then returned to the bed where Travis laid between my thighs and
loved me more with his mouth. By the time I’d climaxed the third
time from his talented tongue I was too languid to even open my
eyes as he pulled me alongside his muscular body. Curled against
him, I slept.
I woke to light kisses from Travis across my
breasts. “Good morning, sleepy head.”
The smile I gave him was overtaken by a
yawn. I noticed the sunlight coming through the curtains. “What
time is it?”
“ We have roughly less than
two hours before the breakfast.” His tongue flicked one of my
nipples, already a hard peak.
I sighed and squirmed beside him. Even with
my sex tender from the through loving he’d given me last night, a
sexual haze still fell upon me. “I need to get back to my room for
clothes.” I ran my fingers through his black hair and offered my
breasts to him. “Unless you want to use an hour of that time for
other things.”
“ Patience, my love.” He
pinched one of my nipples and winked at me. Leaning across me, he
reached for his cell phone on the nightstand.
When the fog of lust abated some I asked,
“Who are you calling?”
“ Last night, you wondered
about your family and if they would accept the relationship between
us.” Selecting a number he pushed enter.
Frowning, I stared at him, unsure of what
this smart man had in mind.
“ Hello.” My brother’s
voice came through the speaker.
My eyelids stretched wide as I shook my head
and mouthed for Travis to hang up the phone, since the speaker was
engaged.
Smiling down at me, Travis continued. “Sorry
to disturb you with the new Mrs. Jenson, Ronnie.”
“ No problem. We were just
killing time before the farewell breakfast.” There was a giggle on
the other end.
I could just imagine how they were passing
the time.
“ Well, no worries. I made
sure last night that everything was loaded in the limo and ready to
whisk you two to the airport. I’ll get those two overnight bags
from the room when you’re gone, also.”
“ I had no doubt, that’s
why you’re my best man. I know you’ll get the job done
right.”
“ One more thing before I
let you go.” Travis’s blue eyes held mine.
I bit my bottom lip, my breath locked in my
lungs.
“ What’s up?” Another
giggle and a squeal punctuated the room from the phone.
“ Kamari and I
