“I didn’t think you’d want to go out today,” Mia said with surprise.She moved to get out of bed.
“Baby.”His tone drew her eyes to him.He hadn’t moved, his body splayed out and completely naked on top of the covers, his magnificent cock standing proud and tall.Like a king.Mia shook her head with disbelief.“I don’t want you to think the only thing I want you for is sex.And if we stay here...”He shrugged, letting his sentence trail off.His meaning was clear.
“Well, I need nourishment to keep up with you.”Mia snatched up her discarded panties.“And with all the fucking we’ve done today alone, I’m afraid one of your little swimmers is going to break through my birth control.”
Mia was joking, but King looked mortified.“Don’t say that, woman!”King jumped off the bed as if his ass was on fire.
Mia laughed so hard she doubled over.
Epilogue
Mia
Six months later...
Mia was standing at the stove, scrambling eggs mixed with cheese and diced bacon, humming Faith Hill’s “This Kiss,” There was a smile on her face, and she may have been dancing in place, too, shifting her hips from side to side beneath one of King’s flannel shirts.She loved slipping into one of his shirts in the morning, because they still smelled of him from the day before.
So much had changed since she’d come back home to live, and she couldn’t complain about any of it.Her boys were doing well in college and had come for a visit during a break.Sammy and Ben had gotten engaged.She’d met Scarlett—who was expecting baby number two—and her beautiful family.The money she’d gotten from her divorce meant that she didn’t have to work, but Mia had gotten a part-time job at the local bakery anyway.And the biggest change was that she’d moved in with King.
Everything about their relationship seemed to move at record speed, and yet life had never felt so right.
A sound from the bedroom indicated that her man must be getting up.Mia’s suspicions were confirmed when a muscular arm curled around her waist as she was scooping the finished eggs onto their plates.The next thing Mia knew, she was being pulled back against a hard, half-naked body, and she squealed when King rubbed his whiskered jaw against her.
“Mornin,’ baby.”He wrapped a hand around the front of her neck and pulled her head back for a kiss.The mint on his breath told her that he’d already brushed his teeth, and she was thankful that she’d had enough coffee to camouflage her morning breath.
It wasn’t a short peck.It never was with King.Mia shivered deliciously as his other hand traveled down to the opening of her shirt, smoothing beneath the material to cover her breast.Moaning, she opened her mouth to his tongue, welcoming the pleasant warmth that spread through her.The passion between them continued to be solid and steady, their feelings growing stronger every day.
King growled against Mia’s mouth.“No better way to start my day, darlin,’ other than having my dick buried inside your sweet pussy.”
His filthy comment caused a full-bodied shiver to run down Mia.She was always up for morning sex, and they often ate a cold breakfast.“You don’t play fair.Now sit down.Breakfast is ready.”
“Love a bossy woman.”King stepped back as she grabbed their plates and headed toward the table.“What have you got going on today?”
Mia had poured their coffees earlier, and the first thing King did when he sat down was take a sip.She’d also poured them each a small glass of orange juice.A sigh escaped her as she thought about King’s question before meeting his eyes.“I work at the bakery this morning, but the afternoon will be spent trying on wedding gowns.”
He paused from taking a bite of eggs, his fork halfway to his mouth.The stunned look in his eyes caused Mia to burst out laughing.They hadn’t even discussed marriage.After a moment, realization replaced the confusion on King’s face, and he released a heavy breath of relief.“Whew!Scared me for a second.”
