"I thought it would be more comfortable to try it in our own bed this time." Her body shook with laughter.

His c.o.c.k twitched, clearly agreeing. Indeed, this was going to be a long night.

"Are you scared I'm going to run off, wife?"

She turned her face to show her wicked smile.

"Of all the things I fear in the universe, that isn't one of them."

"I'm so lucky to have found you," he whispered. He brushed her sweat-soaked hair from her face.

She turned in his arms and found his mouth with hers. There was no urgency to their kiss, as there had been so many times before. This kiss was deep, slow and full of love.

Haylie pulled back and brushed her fingers against his cheek. "We're both lucky.

Now lie back so I can tie you up."

Stretching his arms wide, he laughed. Being married to Haylie was proving to be the greatest adventure he could have imagined.

Haylie laughed, "Oh, you have no idea what I have in store for you."

About the Author.

It took Christine a lot longer than the average bear to figure out what she wanted to be when she grew up. When she was home on maternity leave, she decided to take a stab at saving her sanity and sat down to write a romance novel. After dabbling with various sub-genres, she realized she really enjoyed creating strange new worlds and writing about s.e.x. Whether due to the pregnancy hormones or sleep deprivation, she thought this was a great combination.

Many years later her kids are in school and she's back at her day job, but the writing bug is here to stay. When not torturing her characters, she's busy playing with her children or conducting "research" with her husband.
