She looked at me in horror. “No! I married you! Why do you think I nearly jumped you when you got home? I have been so sexually frustrated; my vibrator isn’t good enough sometimes.”

I laughed at that. “Again, I’m going to have to file that imagery away for when I’m on the road.”

She laughed with me. “Oh my God! Were you being serious earlier?”

I smiled and kissed her, this time pulling her back down to me so she was straddling my hips again. “Only you,” I told her when I pulled away. “I married you, only you. I know this is kind of like a trial marriage, but you get all of me in this.”

She ran her hands down my chest, raking her nails on my skin. “When did you get so seriously ripped?” she asked.

“It’s kind of my job to be in peak physical condition.”

Her eyes scanned down the hard lines of my chest, and her hands gripped the thick muscles of my biceps. “I never thought I would be into big muscles,” she said so softly that I didn’t think I was supposed to hear her.

I pulled her down to kiss me again and loved the feeling of her hands all over me. When I pulled away, her eyes widened, probably at feeling my cock beneath her.

“Seriously?” she asked but had a smile on her face.

I smirked. “We do have to make up for some lost time. Also, you’re right. Using my hand just isn’t the same thing.”

She laughed, but then I had her on her back again and moaning my name while I spent some much needed time with my head between her legs. I ached for this woman and was hungry to please her. It was especially nice when she returned the favor without me having to ask. Damn, if I hadn’t already married her, I probably would have said she was wife material.

Fi laid her head on my chest again, and I pulled my arm around her to hold her tight against me. A sheen of sweat covered both of us from our recent activities, but neither of us was complaining. Being on the road for half the year could be tough, but I didn’t realize how tough until I married my best friend and she came to live with me. It swelled my heart to know that she had missed me as much as I missed her, and I wondered if maybe, just maybe, she was falling in love with me too. Lying here naked in bed with her and holding her against me was the best feeling in the world.

I flinched a little when I felt her small hand trace the lines of the red-gold phoenix tattoo on my forearm. She looked up at me with a cheeky smile. “Sorry.”

I smiled down at her and kissed the top of her vibrant red hair. “It tickles,” I admitted.

“I always loved this tattoo.”

I stroked her hair and closed my eyes. “Remember how nervous I was when I got it?”

I felt her laugh on my chest. “Didn’t Stacey break up with you because of it?”

“Don’t remind me,” I groaned. “Why did you ever let me go out with her?”

“I thought you liked her!”

I sighed. “I was a kid, and she was hot, but her personality not so much. I wish—” But I couldn’t finish my thought because I heard something vibrating on the floor where I had discarded my pants. “Shit!”

Fi moved from off my chest with a look of concern in her eyes. “What’s wrong?”

I reluctantly glided out of bed and started rushing around to get dressed again. “I was supposed to meet my agent,” I explained. I picked up my phone and saw all the missed calls. Steve was going to kill me, especially since it was so not like me to be late for a meeting.

“Oh my God, you’re never late for anything in your life, ever. I’m sorry.”

I tucked my shirt into my pants and walked back over to the bed, where she was now sitting up against the headboard but had the sheet wrapped around her chest. That amused me because I just had my mouth all over her body. I leaned down and kissed her goodbye.

“Sorry, I really have to go.”

She waved me off. “Go on. I feel bad I made you late.”

I smirked. “I’ll tell my agent I was too busy eating out my wife to be on time for the meeting.”

Her eyes widened. “Riley! Don’t you dare!”

I laughed. “I’m just kidding.” I tilted her chin up and kissed her again one last time before booking it out of there. I pulled my cell out and called Steve back while I rushed down to my SUV in the parking garage.
