“Yep,” Layne replied, not knowing where she was going with this.
She lifted her head and told him. “That means we have to stop fucking on the sectional, Layne,”
Layne fucked Rocky on the sectional a lot. It was comfortable, it was cozy and there was room to move. It wasn’t as big as their bed but it felt like it was.
“They’re all at a late movie, sweetcheeks,” he reminded her.
“Yes, but –”
“They come home, we’d hear them.”
“I wouldn’t,” she told him and he grinned.
“Well, I would.”
“Hmm,” she mumbled, her nose wrinkling and her eyes narrowing, “I thought I had your undivided attention when you’re inside me.”
“Yeah, well, they came home when I was inside you, that would be very bad timing,” Layne remarked, her eyes got big then she burst out laughing.
Layne grinned but he didn’t laugh with her. He savored the golden trail her laughter sent gliding through him, lifted his hands to pull her hair away from her face and he held it back as he watched.
She sobered but kept grinning at him. Then she caught the look on his face and, still grinning, she asked, “What’s on your mind, sweetheart?”
He pulled her down to him, touched his mouth to hers then pushed her back an inch.
“Thank you, baby,” he whispered.
“For what?” she whispered back.
“A beautiful life.”
Her mouth got soft, her eyes went half-mast and her gaze grew intense.
Then she lifted a hand, laid it against his jaw, her thumb sweeping across his lips as her eyes watched it move.
Then they lifted to his and she gave him the dimple.
About the Author
Kristen Ashley lives in the beautiful West Country of England with her husband and her cat. She came to England by way of Denver, where she lived for twelve years, but she grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana. Her family and friends are loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write.
Kristen’s Mom moved her and her brother and sister in with their grandparents when she was six. Her grandparents had a daughter much younger than her Mom so they all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched). Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.
And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.
