stays hard whenever I’m with you.”
She gave him a light tap on the shoulder. “You always have sex on your mind.”
“Can you blame me when I’m married to the most gorgeous woman in the world?”
“You’re full of it.”
“Never that, my dear.” He lifted her hand to his mouth again and planted another wet kiss on it.
“What about Dante?”
“What about him?”
“Aren’t you concerned about his feelings?”
“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t, but I also know he wouldn’t act on them. That’s probably why he’s kept his distance. Maggie, Dante does have feelings for you but it’s not the kind that mates share. He’s in love with the idea of you. He’ll soon realize his feelings for you aren’t what he thinks they are.”
“I hope you’re right. I miss him.” Maggie hoped this rift between the two brothers would be settled soon so their family could be whole again.
“I do, too.”
A sudden idea came to Maggie. “Montana!”
GianMarco gave her a bewildered look. “What?”
“Montana would be perfect for Dante. What better way to forget about someone than introducing them to somebody new. I think Montana and Dante would be perfect for each other. Besides, she’s got an appetite for men that would more than match a vampire’s lust.”
Her husband chuckled as if that were the most absurd idea he’d ever heard. “Are you serious?”
“Very.”
GianMarco stopped laughing. “Oh. Uh, she’s a bit much for him don’t you think?”
Maggie was aware that though GianMarco didn’t dislike Montana, he thought she was a bit too rough around the edges and much too blunt for her own good. He had once told Maggie that he thought Montana was a bad influence on her, which she thought was ridiculous.
“I’m going to pretend you didn’t just say that. I realize you’re not a huge Montana fan, but don’t let her big personality fool you. She’s got a heart of gold and she’s been through a lot.”
“I don’t doubt that. But I wouldn’t advise you to go meddling in Dante’s affairs.”
“How is it meddling if I just happen to introduce the two of them and let the chips fall where they may?”
“Just be careful, Maggie. When emotions get involved, people can get hurt.”
“I hear you. But you’re worrying over nothing. Besides, Montana is like a sister to me. It would be awesome if we were sisters for real.”
GianMarco rolled his eyes skyward. “Please tell me you’re not trying to set your friend up with my brother because you want to be sisters with her.”
“That’s not it at all. I just think they would be good together.”
“If you say so.”
A sharp thump pounded at the base of her belly, making Maggie jump. “Oh!”
“What is it?”
“She kicked!” Although GianMarco had told her that the likelihood of a female-born vampire was slim, Maggie stubbornly believed she carried a girl.
GianMarco placed his hand over her stomach, not quite touching as though he was scared to make contact.
“Go ahead.” She took his hand, guiding it to her belly. As though sensing her father’s touch, the baby kicked again. The look of utter wonder on GianMarco’s face tugged at her heartstrings.
Maggie swore she saw tears in his eyes even though she knew he’d deny it if she brought it up. “She knows her papa.”
“I don’t know what to say,” he whispered.
“Say you love me.”
“I do love you, more than life itself. Dio, you’re lovely. I think I could stare at you all day.”
She didn’t think she’d ever tire of his compliments. There was no feeling like being loved and cherished the way GianMarco did her. “I think you’re pretty damn good to look at yourself... and you’re delicious, too.” Maggie ran her tongue over her lips in anticipation.
He lifted one dark brow with a lazy smile on his sensual mouth. “Is that your subtle way of telling me you’re hungry?”
She gave him a big smile. “Now that you mention it...” Maggie felt her
