A scream burst from her and bounced off the wall as wave after wave of ecstasy rolled over her. When it finally calmed, her arms could not hold her, so her chest crashed down on the mattress.
He finished a minute later, and she loved the guttural groan that seemed to come from somewhere deep inside of him.
It took him a few minutes to be calm enough to pull out of her. He pressed a kiss to her shoulder. “I’ll be right back.”
She had no idea if she said anything because sleep quickly took her down. She felt him wash her and then arrange her so her back was against his chest.
“Good night, wife.”
“Night.”
When she next opened her eyes, the sun was coming through the drapes. At first, she was disoriented and then realized Dominic was still in bed with her. She felt him press his lips against the back of her head.
“Good morning, wife.”
The gruff sound of his morning voice sent a shiver down her spine.
“Good morning, husband.”
“What do you say we have them bring up breakfast?”
“That sounds wonderful.”
They spent the morning in the room eating, talking, andmaking love.
Later, she was dozing when his hand ran up and down her arm.
“Baby, do you want to go back home today?”
“Yes, I would.”
“Good. Let’s shower and get dressed.”
“Okay.”
It took much longer than it should have because they showered together and ended up making love again.
Dominic turned off the water after washing her for the second time. “If we don’t stop, you’ll be unable to walk.”
She chuckled. “Then you’ll just carry me.”
After they dressed, Dominic sat her down on the side of the bed, knelt in front of her, and grasped her hands.
The look on his face scared her. “What’s wrong?”
“I have something I need to tell you, and I don’t know how you’ll feel about it, but you have a right to know.”
She nodded.
“After I shot Marino the first time, I didn’t see him grab for a gun he had in his boot. He aimed for me, but then someone shot him before he got off a shot.”
“Oh, thank God.”
“The person that saved me was your cousin.”
Her mouth dropped open. “What?”
“Your cousin saved my life, baby.”
