A few months ago, those words would have sent him into a cold, blind panic. Now all he could do was grin. He brushed his thumb over Oakley’s lips. “Haven’t you figured it out? I’m already yours. Have been since the moment I laid eyes on you.”
“When I was being rude and trying to kick you out?”
“You were so annoyed and so fucking cute. I wanted to climb right over that desk and undo you.”
She adjusted her position until she was straddling him, her breasts pressed up against his chest. She bent down and kissed along his throat and then brushed her lips against his ear. “Mission accomplished, James. I’m completely and totally undone.”
His blood stirred and he cupped her ass, lifting her up a bit to get his jeans open again and freeing his erection—his body as hungry as if he hadn’t just been inside her a few minutes ago. “Not quite yet. But you’re getting there.”
He shoved his jeans down and off then seated her exactly where he wanted her, inhaling her soft sigh as he lowered her down onto his cock.
“God, it’s like I can never get enough of you,” she said, burying her face in his shoulder and shuddering with pleasure.
“You’re insatiable. Didn’t they tell you mothers aren’t supposed to act like this?”
He could feel her grin against his neck. “Fuck they. No, better yet, fuck me.”
“Your wish is my command, love.”
THIRTY-FIVE
Oakley leaned against the wall of the dressing room. “I can’t feel my feet. Is that normal?”
“I think the term is cold feet, not numb feet,” Devon said dryly.
“I’m just wondering if maybe we should’ve done this on our own and without the pressure of an audience.”
“And it would’ve been a short-lived marriage because Dev would’ve murdered you for not inviting him,” Hunter said, tossing Devon his necktie.
“Damn straight.” Devon caught the tie and efficiently knotted it around his neck.
“You both think I’m crazy, don’t you?” Oakley slipped out of her heels and reached down to rub the feeling back into her feet. Her hands were shaking, though, and making it a difficult process.
“Yes,” Hunter agreed. “But I like crazy. Plus, neither of us would judge you.”
Devon’s brow had a wrinkle in it, though. She remembered that look from when she was younger and he went into big-brother mode. She walked over to him in her bare feet. “Hey, you okay?”
Devon sighed and tucked his hands in the pockets of his black slacks. “You sure he’s a good guy, Oak?”
“He’s the best guy,” she said without hesitation. “Like down-to-the-bone good.”
“Don’t talk about his bone, dollface,” Hunter chimed in. “You’ll have Dev picturing things.”
Oakley smirked. “Well, that bone is certainly good, too.”
Dev rolled his eyes. “I liked you better when you were too embarrassed to say anything about sex around me.”
She smiled and grabbed his hands. “Dev, I know you’re looking out for me. I love you for that. And I realize that from the outside looking in, I seem crazy. But you remember when you first met Hunter back in college?”
Dev slid his gaze over to his lover, the corner of his mouth twitching. “Not easy to forget.”
“I remember, too. I watched it happen and was so worried about you. You had the hots for a straight guy. I tried to talk you out of it. I tried to tell you that you’d only get hurt. From the outside looking in—”
“It was crazy,” Dev finished.
“And I was wrong because you knew your heart, and whatever was between you two, you felt in your gut.” She put her hand to her belly, the soft fabric of her white summer dress warm beneath her fingers. “I feel that with Pike, right here, like I know. Like I’ve been waiting all my life to feel this.”
Devon sighed and put his arms out to gather her against his chest. He sat his chin on top of her head like he’d done so many times when they were growing up. “Baby sis, you are the smartest and strongest woman I know. I just want you to be happy. You deserve that kind of
