gave up pushing him away and tugged him up so
she could kiss his lips. Travis groaned and stopped
touching her long enough to rip his pants and underwear
from his body.
“I feel as if I’ve been waiting for this moment forever,” he
whispered huskily as he tugged her skirt and underwear
from her body, baring her body to his view.
    “Touch me,”
she begged as he moved his mouth back to the
sensitive spot where her neck met her shoulder to place a
hot kiss complete with wandering tongue.
    “I’m going to do a lot more than touch you,” he promised,
pressing his groin tightly against hers, pressing just the tip
of his engorged member into her moist core, making her
whimper with need.
“Trav… please,” she begged; her whole body trembling
with need.
“Tell me you want me,” he demanded in a gritty voice.
    “I want you… now,” she answered, rotating her hips,
taking him further into her heat. Travis moaned and pushed
forward, groaning even deeper when she wrapped her legs
around his hips, forcing him to thrust the rest of the way
into her body.
    Laurie cried out in pleasure and dug her fingernails into the
skin on his shoulders. Their lovemaking was hot and by the
time it was over, they were both sweaty, breathless and
exhausted. Travis held her in his arms, feeling more than a
little woozy. “I knew we’d be incredible together, but I
never imagined it would be that spectacular.”
“Just hold me in your arms and with a little luck, we’ll both
get a little sleep now that we’ve given in to the longing.

Chapter 9
    The next morning, Travis woke up to find the bed beside
him empty and he wondered at the equally empty feeling in
his chest that accompanied the realization that she’d left
him without saying anything. He frowned in response and
got out of bed, tugging a fresh pair of underwear and pants
on before making his way down the hall in search of
Laurie. His mother would expect them to appear at the
breakfast table together. He had to work hard to convince
himself that it had nothing to do with the fact that he
wanted to see her.
    He found her in the kitchen, cooking over the stove and
talking in an animated voice to his mother. His heart leapt
in response and he wondered at the warm fuzzy feeling that
he was experiencing as his gaze swept over her face. His
legs felt like cooked noodles as he made his way over to the
stove and wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing a
hot kiss to the side of her neck.
    “Morning, beautiful. I missed you when I woke up to find
you’d left me,” he murmured honestly; not caring that his
voice was loud enough that his mother could hear him. He
had wanted her to believe them to be a happily married
couple anyway. If he was able to be honest with Laurie and
convince his mom that he was hopelessly besotted with the
woman she believed was his wife, Travis could only see the
good in that.
    Laurie forgot all about the food she’
d been cooking and
slumped against him, lifting her face, moaning as he kissed
her with greedy lips.
    Travis had meant to keep the kiss mellow and calm, but the
way Laurie had all but caught fire in his arms, he couldn’t
seem to remember much of anything other than the fact that
the woman in his arms had blown his mind the night before
and that he very much wanted it to happen again… and
again and again.
    “I’m beginning to understand why I hadn’t heard about
your wedding before,” his mother said, laughing so hard
she began to cough. “The two of you are so wrapped up in
each other; you lose complete ability to recall much of
anything else… or anyone else for that matter. Believe me,
I’m pleased to see my son happy with the woman he’s
chosen… but perhaps, you could save the X-rated stuff
until you’re behind closed doors?” she added when Travis
moved his hand under Laurie’s shirt to fondle her breast.
    He leaned his forehead against hers and sighed as he
removed his hand from her shirt. “Sorry, Ma. I did
