“There was more to say, but he couldn’t find the words. More to say about how different she was, how different she was making him. How differently the time passed whenever they were together. (72%)”

“Say my name."
"No." She tipped her head up, her breath sawing out of her lungs. “Don’t stop, please.”
He languidly stroked her. “I won’t stop, but I won’t take you there unless you say it.”
Her voice locked in her throat.
He stroked into her again at the same time giving her the pressure she desired with his thumb. “I have all night.”

“Merina gave Gwyneth a saucy wink and snatched a cube of cheese off Gwyneth’s plate and ate it. She sucked on the tip of her thumb in what had to be the sexiest move Reese had ever seen. “Mmm. Thank you. I know that wasn’t mine, but I saw it and just had to have it. You know what that’s like. Try the crab bites. To die for.”

“We’d never miss Alex’s retirement. No matter how you feel about us being here.”
Pompous prick. That was the exact reason Reese bounced his fist off Hayes’s face all those years ago. He flexed his hand with the temptation to do it now too. Smarmy dickweed.
“Alex is a good man.” Merina stroked Reese’s arm, bringing his temper down a notch. “I’m sure he can see exactly what you are trying to accomplish by being here. If you’ll excuse us.” In a stage whisper, she added, “I’m going to sneak out of here for a moment with Reese. You remember how hard it was to keep your hands off him, I’m sure.”

“Leaving was the right thing to do. She loved him and she deserved to be loved in return. She deserved more than half measures from him.”

“I’m also unwilling to be treated the way he’s treating me. If he wants to behave like an adult, then together we can adult. But if he wants to be a man-child, then he can do that by himself.”

“Ace,” he muttered almost reverently against her neck. He swept her hair off her shoulder and kissed it, giving her a full-body shudder. “You steal my breath away.”

“This is good,” he told her.
She gave him a slow blink. “You like wine?”
“Doesn’t everyone?”
“You strike me as a beer-from-the-can kind of guy.”
“I am.” ”

“You’re killing me in this proper little suit,” he said, skating a heated look over her shirt. “My place or yours?”
She swallowed thickly, the hand against his chest beginning to sweat. “I-I’m busy.”
“You’re gonna be,” he said, smiling. “Need to know what bed you’re gonna be in, though. Bringing my A game.”
“Don’t you think—?”
“About you underneath me? Only every other minute. Now answer me, or else I’ll throw you on the nearest desk.”
Heat burst onto her cheeks. He noticed.
“Oh, really?” He smiled down at her.”

“Lily?”
She couldn’t see his face, but she knew his eyes were on her. She could feel them.
A beat passed. Then another. He flicked the flashlight on, his eyes zooming in on her mouth. “Don’t suppose you’re scared enough of the dark to leave.”
She shook her head. “I don’t suppose you’re planning on leaving me on my own.”
A smile, then, “You might cheat.” He tugged their linked hands and leaned the slightest bit closer.
“True,” she breathed, mirroring his movement. “I wouldn’t trust you if our roles were reversed.” Inches from his face, she admired the curve of his top lip. “What are you doing, Black?”
“I think,” he whispered back, his warm breath fanning over her lips, “I’m going to have to kiss you, McIntire.”

“He drew in an answering breath, and she waited to hear the quip, the joke, the dab of levity for the most intense moment they’d ever shared. But he only dropped his head into the crook of her neck and laid his mouth over her leaping pulse as they found their unhurried rhythm in the dark.”

“People think it means to come under someone’s control, but that’s not the translation. If a wife submits to a husband, she’s giving him a gift. She’s giving him the opportunity to be a man. Without that lesson, he won’t be strong. Instead, he will be weak and in response, she will feel as if she has to protect herself. That’s not the way it’s supposed to be.” He shook his graying head. “Just because you women can protect yourselves and be your own warriors doesn’t mean you should. Men need a chance to do that too. To protect and love you makes us better.”
