us right now. And as much as the boys love spending every summer in Savannah, I don’t necessarily think they’d want to live here. They’d miss home too much.”
“I know. And so would you.”
Sterling didn’t deny it.
Celeste angled her head to smile wryly at him. “You know, I didn’t need a paternity test to tell me that Michael is your son. He’s just like you. They both are. If they ever decide to leave Atlanta, I know they’ll find their way right back.”
Sterling chuckled. “That’s probably true.”
As a sultry breeze wafted over them, Celeste sighed languorously. “I could stay out here all night, Sterl. Isn’t this so romantic?”
“Very,” he agreed. “Next time we visit, we’ll leave the boys at Mama Wolf’s house and spend a couple nights at one of those bed-and-breakfasts.”
“Mmm, that’s a wonderful idea.”
Sterling grinned. “I get one every now and then. Speaking of which— Whoa, what’re you doing?”
Celeste had reached down and started unzipping his jeans. At his startled question, she gave a low, naughty laugh. “What does it look like I’m doing?”
“It looks like you’re trying to get us ar—” Sterling broke off as her warm fingers slipped inside his boxers and wrapped around his penis, which grew instantly hard.
“Oooh,” Celeste crooned with wicked satisfaction, stroking him slowly.
“Looks like someone wants some special attention.” Sterling groaned with pleasure, even as his eyes darted around the moonlit park to make sure no one was nearby.
“Relax, sweetheart,” Celeste murmured, lowering her head to his lap. “No one’s gonna see us.”
“I’m not so sure about—” Sterling sucked in a sharp breath as she took him between her lips. His head fell back, eyes rolling closed in ecstasy.
As she slid her hot mouth up and down his length, he groaned raggedly. “This is crazy, woman. I used to arrest people for this kind of thing.” Celeste’s soft, throaty laughter was the sexiest sound he’d ever heard. “No one’s getting arrested tonight, Detective,” she purred, swirling her tongue around the sensitized head of his shaft, “unless you brought a pair of handcuffs you wanna use on me.”
Sterling swore hoarsely, his pulse kicking into overdrive. He’d always loved it when his wife talked dirty to him.
She began sucking him harder as his hips thrust upward, making love to her mouth until her low moans of pleasure joined his.
“Babe, I’m about to—”
As he tried to pull out of her, her lips clutched at him, not letting him go. He came violently, shuddering as he spent himself inside her mouth. She swallowed greedily, as if she were receiving nourishment from his body.
When she’d milked him dry, Sterling collapsed onto his back with a husky groan. Celeste snuggled against him, discreetly draping her sundress across his waist to conceal his open fly.
“That was…” Sterling trailed off, at a loss for words.
Celeste laughed softly. “That good, huh?”
“Hell, yeah.”
“I told you no one would catch us.” She motioned to the gently swaying canopy of moss. “It’s like we’re in our own little cocoon under here.” Sterling grinned. “I still say you’re gonna get us arrested.” Celeste chuckled. “They can’t arrest you,” she said, propping her head in her hand as she smiled down at him. “They’d be violating some unwritten code of brotherhood.”
“Maybe.” Sterling smiled lazily, reaching up to slide his hand into her hair. He felt ten years younger, so buoyant and carefree he could have floated away at any moment. “We definitely need to do things like this more often.”
“ Definitely .” Celeste leaned down and nibbled on his earlobe, then traced the shell of his ear with her wicked tongue. It was enough to send a hot rush of blood straight to his groin.
As if sensing his body’s reaction, she let her hand wander over him until she cupped his thickening erection. “Mmmm,” she
