Captain's Bride (44 page)

“And you, my handsome husband, are even more of a
devil.”

He chuckled softly and captured her lips, his tongue
teasing and warm as it slid inside her mouth. He settled her
astride him, and Glory slipped easily onto his hardened length, her
body long ago wet and ready to accept him. She moved sensuously,
until he cupped her buttocks with practiced ease and set up a
rhythm that made it hard for her to concentrate.

Soon she was lost in the pulsing motion, melting with
the liquid sensations that washed over her. She kissed him, laced
her fingers through his hair, and mewed softly against his mouth.
Once she felt him flinch, as she accidentally touched his wound,
but he didn’t stop. Just kept thrusting into her, slowly and
deeply, until a wave of pleasure broke over her, curling her upward
and forcing his name from her lips. Nicholas followed her to
release.

He nestled her beside him and they drifted to
peaceful contentment.

“Tell me—”

“I love you,” she interrupted before he could finish
the words.

He traced the line of her cheek. “And I love you.”
There were no more doubts, no lingering fears between them. From
now on Glory would speak her heart to Nicholas. And Nicholas would
spend the rest of his life proving his love in the age-old manner
he’d demonstrated only moments before—and was eager to show her
again.
