Into The Sunset: An Erotic Romance Anthology
hardness on her slick heat. He
was about to ask if she was sure, but she was canting her hips
under him. She grasped his head and guided him into her tight
sheath.
    He moved and had to stop, willing himself to
calm down. He wanted this to last. He wanted it to be good for her.
He wanted her to come.
    Her hand was gentle on his cheek and she
turned his head so he stared down in her eyes. Her other hand was
on his hips, urging him forward. “You can let go, Rex. I just want
to be with you.”
    It wasn’t the sex she wanted—it was the
closeness.
    With a breath that sounded almost like a sob,
he took her. She opened her body to him and he moved. She kissed
him and held him. She swallowed the cry from his lips when he
came.
    They lay in each other’s arms, talking. She
slipped away a few hours later. After all, it wouldn’t do to
surprise Annie.

    She woke to a drumming that for a moment, her
sleep addled brain had thought was rain. It was Annabelle Lee
drumming on their door.
    “ Are you making me a baby
brother?” she asked.
    Rex flushed red. “I wished your mother hadn’t
said that to her.”
    “ She’s your mother-in-law. You could have
intervened.”
    He poked her in the side and buried himself
under the covers. When they’d caught Lily giving Annabelle Lee an
abbreviated explanation of the birds and the bees, they’d both
fled.
    “ I can hear you,” Annabelle Lee
said. “Can I go see the new foal?” She drummed her fingers on the
door. “If you don’t say anything, I’m going to take it as a
yes.”
    They tried to smother their laughter, but it
was too easy to picture her peeved expression.
    “ Hey, you’re my parents. You’re
supposed to be concerned for my welfare. You should be saying
something like, ‘Make sure Mister Josh goes with you and don’t
bother the guests.’”
    Rex cleared his throat, and said in an
officious voice, “You can go see the foal Annie. Just make sure you
take Josh with you, and mind you don’t bother the
guests.”
    They started laughing then, hearing her stomp
her foot in annoyance.
    “ Whatever. Enjoy your honeymoon,”
she said.
    Rex and Rose smiled at each other. “When she
turns into a teenager, she goes back to just being your daughter,
right?”
    He hit her with a pillow.
    She could never have guessed, flying out of
Boston, nervous and edgy about the future of her parents’ ranch,
that a fairy tale ending was waiting for her in the town of
Fricksville. She’d gone from being the lonely ice princess in the
tower, to having a family all her own. And unlike all those Grimm’s
stepmothers, she wasn’t about to squander one second of her
happiness with greed or vanity. No, she was going to live on this
ranch, help her parents grow old, love her husband, love her
daughter, and maybe, once things got settled, see about making
Annabelle Lee some siblings.
    Her phone rang—a trill of Vivaldi.
Alfred Faulk had programmed the ring himself. She couldn’t tell if
he was the dragon in the story or the fairy godmother. Despite his
reassurances that she was working part time, he appeared to be grooming her
to take over for him at the Kimbell.

    Watching the last fleeting rays of red and
orange trace the Atlanta skyline at dusk, Lucas Kiern couldn’t
suppress a shiver as he stared out the twenty-foot-high glass wall
of his penthouse office at Luna Corp. The color red had been on his
mind much of late.
    Not the deep amaranth slipping from the sky as
the sun finally sank, no. It was a fiery copper hue that occupied
his thoughts, brushed the edges of his mind as he tried to sleep. A
rich, sweet, warm color that was nicely complemented by stunning
sapphire eyes, creamy pale skin, and freckles dusted across the
bridge of a pert nose.
    His wolf stirred within, struggling to
surface.
