me.
Not because of indecision. I wanted this. But some days it was
still difficult to grasp that I didn’t have to do it by myself
anymore. I was no longer alone.
    “I want to stay home. I want to be here when
Lizzie gets off of school each day, and I don’t want this baby to
have to go to daycare. I know I told you before that I wanted to
keep working, but now…” I sucked my bottom lip between my teeth and
slowly shook my head. “I just want to be home to take care of my
family, and if there’s a way for me to do that, then that’s truly
what I want from my life.”
    I stared up at him hovering over me. Something
that looked like respect shined down, his eyes shimmering with
it.
    He took my face in his hands. “Elizabeth, I
will support you in whatever you want. If you want to stay home or
if you want to go back to school, I will be here for you, and we
will work it out. Hell, even if you want to continue working at the
bank, then I want you to do that. But I can’t think of anything
better than knowing you are home with our kids.”
    Emotion thickened in my throat, a well of
gratitude for this man who understood me better than anyone. I wet
my lips. “This really is what I want.”
    He released a breath at my forehead.
“Elizabeth, baby, we’re going to do this, and we’re going to do it
right.”
    He tipped my chin up with the hook of his
finger, his gaze washing over my face, his hold soft. Just as soft
as the kiss he pressed to my lips. He deepened it, and I opened to
him, welcomed the heat of his tongue as he swept it across
mine.
    Instantly, fire scorched through
me.
    Without breaking the kiss, Christian shifted
and nudged my knees apart with one of his own. Gently he settled
himself between my thighs. He urgently clutched the side of my
face, his fingers trailing along my jaw, dipping into my hair, and
running down my neck as he kissed me. Suspended a mere breath above
me, his strong body pitched and lowered and teased, the lightest
brushes and whispers that promised me what was to come.
    I sighed into his mouth and let my fingers
work into the rigid muscles of his back as he drowned me in the
upsurge of his passion. He was gentle, so gentle, as if I might
break, my fragile body safe in the security of his arms.
    He groaned as he pulled back, his mouth at my
jaw, nipping at my chin. “God, it’s been too long since I’ve been
inside you, Elizabeth.” Rough, ragged words dropped from his mouth,
his muscles ticking, twitching, begging for my touch.
    I’d been so sick that I didn’t think we’d made
love but three or four times in the last few months.
    And this…I wanted this. Needed
this.
    Christian grew hard and thick between us. The
heavy weight of him rubbed against my belly. No question, the man
needed this, too.
    “Christian,” I mumbled, yanking at the shirt
tucked into his slacks. My palms found the bare skin of his back,
and I flattened them against the sinewy muscle that rippled and
twisted, jerking beneath my exploration. My grip demanding, I drew
him nearer.
    Did he have any idea how desperate I was to
have him? How badly I needed him to possess me?
    Christian hissed as I raked my nails down the
smooth skin of his back to his narrow waist.
    It would seem impossible, but just touching
him seared me, scorching me in places that only existed with
Christian. I trembled in anticipation. He intensified his kiss,
forcing my surrender. His tongue played against mine. Desire
pierced me when he sank his teeth into my lower lip.
    A deep moan echoed through the sanctuary of
the room, a sound I almost didn’t recognize as it rolled from my
tongue.
    My head spun with his assault, and I found
myself struggling to make sense of how much I loved this man. He
was everything, beauty and light, my rock, the other piece of my
soul.
    And so incredibly beautiful. Sexy in every
way. The fire in his blue eyes and strength of his body were
something I would never get enough of. I would never get my fill,
and
