Laura enjoyed the view, loved the sheer bliss written on his face. After a few minutes, he paused.
“Don’t stop,” she urged.
He shook his head. “Everything.” He lifted his knee, moving to her side. Laura understood what he meant.
She grinned at him before turning to reach into the nightstand drawer. She pulled out a tube of lubrication and handed it to him. Then she rolled over, coming up on her hands and knees.
Bryan’s murmured, “Fuck,” reached her and she laughed quietly. Bryan rubbed her ass, surprising her when he lifted his hand and brought it down hard. He placed two firm smacks against her ass. Then he leaned forward and whispered in her ear. “That was for the last two weeks. It killed me staying away from you.”
“I’ll never ask you to leave again, Bryan. I promise.” It was a strong vow, but it was one she intended to stand by. While her marriage had left her leery and distrustful of things like forever and the future, her short time with Bryan had changed that, making her believe in love again.
He pressed a quick, hard kiss to her lips before moving to kneel behind her. She heard him open the tube, then sucked in a harsh breath when the cool lubrication hit her anus. Bryan had never expanded on their anal experiences, never used more than two fingers.
Tonight, she had no doubt that was about to change. Bryan slowly worked the lube in, allowing her to adjust to the invasion of his fingers. She was surprised when she heard him open a condom wrapper.
She glanced over her shoulder and caught his shrug as he answered her unspoken question. “This isn’t the big ending. I want all of you, remember?”
She nodded, touched by his unfailing care. Bryan donned the condom, then the head of his dick pressed against her anus. Damn. Regardless of the lube and his attempts to ease her into this, it was going to hurt.
He moved slowly. Twice, he stopped briefly when she hissed, allowing her a chance to catch her breath. Once he was fully seated, she noticed the pinching had given way to something else. Being taken this way was completely different from anything she’d ever experienced. She hadn’t really expected to feel aroused, but having Bryan inside her like this was dirty, forbidden, hot.
“Laura?”
“Everything.”
His grip on her hips tightened. “You’re killing me. I don’t want to hurt you, but—”
Laura moved forward, Bryan’s cock sliding out the slightest bit. Then she shoved back against him. Her pussy clenched with need as lightning struck. “Oh my God. More.”
Bryan gave up the fight. He took the reins back, thrusting into her over and over. Laura fought against the clawing need growing inside her. He’d told her this wasn’t the big ending, but there was no way she could keep from coming.
“I have to, I can’t stop—” Her body trembled with need.
“Do it, Laura.” Bryan reached around her, his cock still pounding deep inside her ass. He stroked her clit. “Come.”
She went off like a firecracker on the Fourth of July. She jerked against him, wincing as an orgasm so strong it hurt consumed her. Bryan held still as she struggled to come down. Then her arms and legs gave out and she collapsed on her stomach.
The mattress dipped as Bryan left the bed. Surprised, Laura opened her eyes, watching as he tugged off the condom, throwing it away. His cock was still erect, hard, ready.
When he returned to the bed, he gently lifted her, putting her on her back. Then he came over her, slowly pushing his cock inside her sex. She cried out in relief.
This time, his thrusts took on an easy rhythm that soothed, caressed. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, enjoying his sweet kisses as he made love to her.
The idea of accepting his love didn’t scare her anymore. She longed for it. Needed it.
Bryan moved inside her, stroking her so deeply, it was as if they were connected. One.
Soon Laura’s climax built again. This time she wouldn’t go down alone. Reaching up, she cupped Bryan’s cheek. He smiled, the laugh lines she adored decorating his face once more.
“I love you,” she whispered.
He closed his eyes as if savoring the words. “Say it again.” His voice was husky, deep, sexy.
She grinned. “I love you so much.”
He kissed her. “I love you too, hotshot.”
Bryan continued to move within her. One, two, three pushes more and they were there. Laura clung to Bryan, reveling in his strength, his power.
He was hers.
Her second chance at happiness.
Thank God.
Epilogue
Laura Riley
“Auld Lang Syne” is the most performed song in the world after “Happy Birthday”. It’s a fact. You can Google it.
Laura and Bryan moved in time to the slow love song. Rob’s band, Express Train, had gotten together for a special surprise concert at Blue Moon. All the wine girls decided they’d leave the safety of Laura’s living room and actually celebrate the brand new year out on the town.
So far it had been one of the best nights of Laura’s life, which was surprising since this year had been jam-packed with incredible adventures and great times. She glanced over to their table and watched as Kevin and Katie laughed at something Georgie said. Laura had been thrilled when her kids announced they wanted to ring in the New Year with her.
Bryan gestured toward the stage. “I’m not sure Trina’s feet will touch the ground for months after tonight.” Trina was on stage, playing keyboard with Express Train. “It was nice of Rob to invite her to join the band for the night. It’s an incredible experience for her.”
Laura grinned as she watched Trina’s hands fly across the keyboard. “Her face must hurt from all that smiling.” Trina had never looked happier in her life.
“I was talking to Kevin and Katie earlier.”
Laura had noticed Bryan chatting with her kids by the bar. Since their initial meeting, both of her kids had taken the time to get to know Bryan, accepting that he was a part of their mother’s life. “I noticed. And if you’re planning another impromptu weekend at the beach, I’m in.”
A couple of months earlier, Bryan and the kids had surprised her with a quick weekend getaway to Myrtle Beach for her birthday. She’d never had so much fun in her entire life.
“Nope. I was asking their permission.”
“For what?”
Bryan pulled a ring box out of his pocket. “I love you and I want to marry you. I know you’re not real keen on the institution of marriage and if you want a long engagement, we—”
“Yes.”
“What?”
“I said yes. I’ll marry you.” She laughed at Bryan’s shocked expression.
“You didn’t let me finish my speech.”
“Oh. Sorry.” She took the ring from his hand and slipped it on her finger as she said, “Keep going then.”
Bryan slipped the now-empty box back in his pocket and wrapped his arms around her. “Well, I was going to say something about the two of us being old enough to know what we want. And then I was going to mention the fact the sex is out of this world. If I needed more, I was going to bring up that I’m out of town for work quite a bit, so I wouldn’t be underfoot.”
She laughed at his last argument. She’d teased him once about being the perfect boyfriend because she had a date for special occasions, awesome sex on a semi-permanent basis and she still got a week or two of alone time for herself.
“Given that my ring is on your finger, I assume I don’t need to list any more reasons why we should get married.”
She shook her head. “You had me at
I love you
.”
Bryan grinned and kissed her.
“Did she say yes?”
Laura turned around to find Katie and Kevin standing next to them on the dance floor.
Bryan nodded.
“Hot damn.” Kevin slapped Bryan on the back, then gave Trina a thumbs up. Laura laughed when Trina hooted right in the middle of the song.
Katie hugged her. “Congratulations, Mom.”
“Come on, Katie,” Kevin took his sister’s hand as a fast song came on. “Let’s leave the lovebirds alone to celebrate. I feel like dancing.”
Kevin spun Katie away as Laura laughed at their silly antics on the dance floor.
“Your kids are great.”
She smiled. “I love Trina too.”
“This is all going to work, I promise.”
Apparently, Bryan thought she still needed a bit of convincing. “I know.” She grabbed Bryan’s wrist and checked the time on his watch. Ten minutes until the New Year. “Do you mind if we leave right after midnight?”
Bryan shook his head, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. “Not at all. You have something special in mind?”
“Yep. I want to go home and get on Facebook.”
He frowned. “Why?”
“I need to update my status, make this Facebook official.”
Bryan laughed. “Sounds a plan, hotshot.”

Love in Reverse, Book 2
Esther is grateful for the strong arms that saved her and her young son from an earthquake. But she wishes their rescuer was someone else.
Anyone
other than the man who left her pregnant after a holiday fling.
Toby’s carpentry skills take him wherever there’s work, and right now that work is definitely cut out for him. He has to get over the shock that the little boy in his arms is his own son—and convince Esther that he’s always regretted walking away from her.
Esther can’t bring herself to deny Toby his right to get to know Charlie. Besides, with her own home flattened, she has nowhere to go but with him to his apartment…where she discovers a sexy role-playing card game tucked in his suitcase.
When Toby invites her to accompany him to the Northland to attend his best friend’s wedding, the opportunity to explore their still-simmering attraction is too tempting to resist. As the steamy scenarios heat up, they start to realize this is more than a game. But Esther’s hiding a secret that could cause as much devastation as the earthquake...
Warning: Contains role-playing fun including Roman slave and master, sexy schoolgirl spanking, and interrogation of a spy. Silk scarves included.
Enjoy the following excerpt for
Six Naughty Nights:
“I forgot to ask you,” Toby said softly. “What’s your name?”
Esther blinked and then realised he was referring to the role-play they were supposed to be doing. “Roxie Glitterhorn,” she said. “Pleased to meet you.”
He burst out laughing. “What a great name. A stage name, I’m presuming?”
She put on an affronted look. “How rude. My mother gave me that name.”
