“I don’t know what to say,” she replied in a shaky voice as she stroked the back of his head.
“Where do you see life taking us as Beau goes off to college and Justine becomes a senior this fall?”
“What do you mean? Like traveling?”
“Sure. But if you could make changes in our life together, what would you want?”
A frown creased her brows and she shook her head. “I don’t want anything to change.”
He smoothed her hair from her glowing face and cupped her cheek in his hand. “Share your ultimate fantasy with me. If there were no limits, no constraints, nothing I wouldn’t do that you asked of me, what would you ask me for?”
She looked up at him, her heart in her eyes and said, “I’d want you, baby. Just you.”
To be the object of her desire was satisfying, but he knew there was a craving buried in her heart. One that she seemed intent on hiding no matter how often it surfaced. He doubted anyone else knew but he could read her face and her eyes. Determined, he pushed her. “I’m ready for a new role-playing scene with you. Something completely different.”
Heat flared in her blue eyes, along with excitement and need. “You are? Tell me.”
She shifted beneath him and he felt it when she went fluid and hot all around him. He smiled, knowing he had her. “Remember late Saturday night at last year’s ROT Rally?”
She bit her lip and nodded. “When we stayed overnight and partied with Dale and Natalie at their RV site?”
He grinned, almost able to hear the gears turning in her head. His dick tingled at the memory. “You and me, out by the pool, while our friends watched.” Most importantly, his cousins Val Teller and Ransome Cross had been there, too. Watching. Almost seeming to stand guard, as if that had been necessary.
She drew in a shaky breath and then looked up at him and giggled. In a wistful tone, she said, “Yeah. I remember…vividly.” She’d climaxed so hard they’d heard her ecstatic wailing on the other side of the rally and she’d needed a nap afterward. Her nipples hardened to tight peaks again and his cock slid easy in the hot, abundant juices her cunt was suddenly flooded with as she squirmed against him.
“Consider that experience a starting point.”
Her eyes widened. “A ‘starting point’? What do you mean?”
“Do you trust me to know what you need?”
“You know I do. You’ve never let me down before.”
“Good. Then be on alert.”
Biting her lips, she quivered and nodded. “Yes, baby. Yes.”
He withdrew his cock and rolled with her so that she was now on top of him, draped over his torso.
She lifted her head from his chest and looked into his eyes. “Grace invited me to go out tomorrow night to the Pony. She’s celebrating getting another book submitted and it’s a girls’ night. Do you mind?”
He shook his head. “No. How’s Grace?”
“Still sick a lot. She insists she’s fine but Jack, Ethan, and Adam are keeping an eye on her.”
“I’m sure she’s used to the overprotective husband treatment times three.”
“They make life a lot easier on her, especially with Rose Marie.”
“Val and Ransome will be back in town soon.”
“Oh yeah?” She lowered her eyelids and rested her cheek against his chest, gaining a smile from him as he stroked her hair.
“Mmm-hmm. Val said they finished their last job and were packing their place up.”
“So they’ll be in Divine full time?”
Justin smiled. “Uh-huh. No more leaving.”
She let out a soft sigh and said, “It’ll be nice to have them around. I’ve missed them.” Her longing tone was faint but unmistakable.
I know, baby. I know. “I heard they were talking with Jack, Adam, and Ethan about being in a ménage the last time they were here?”
“They were?” She tried to sound nonchalant but with her draped over his body it was hard to miss the way her frame went tense. “I wonder why.”
Justin shrugged, almost feeling evil for leaving her to wonder. “Maybe they’re interested in the lifestyle, too. I wouldn’t blame them. Jack, Ethan, and Adam are obviously happy with Grace.”
She nodded and whispered, “Yeah. And Grace is pretty happy, too.” She cleared her throat and let out another deep sigh before she pressed a kiss to his chest. “I hope they find what they need. They deserve that kind of love if that’s what they want.”
As self-confident and strong as his woman was, she sure was having trouble asking for what she craved. Part of the blame was on him for being so territorial of her before they’d married. But a few important changes had occurred in their lives in the intervening years. The love she felt for him wasn’t in doubt. Being reminded of that hot night at the ROT Rally the year before had turned her on and he was willing to bet that the memory of Val and Ransome being there was a part of that. He wondered how she’d react when she found out that her cravings were closer to being realized than ever before.
