healthy and heated, but she didn’t often take the lead in the bedroom. She enthusiastically went where he took her, but she had fantasies she’d never dared voice. “Do you? What else do you like?”
    His eyes burned with passion for her. “I love the feel of your lips around my cock. I love burying myself deeply inside you as you call out my name.”
    Nicole ran a hand down Stephan’s chest and cupped his erection. She said something she’d never dared to before. “You’ll have to earn those pleasures this time.”
    His face flushed with excitement. “I’m yours to command.”
    Nicole hesitated, but desire flamed through her and made her bold. “Strip me.”
    He fell easily into the game. “With pleasure.” After he removed an article of clothing he worshiped the exposed area with his mouth and hands before moving on to remove another piece.
    “Kneel and don’t stop licking until I come.”
    Fully dressed, he sank to his knees before her and lifted one leg, placing it over his shoulder. “You’re so fucking hot when you talk like that, Nicole.”
    Nicole held on to a bedpost to steady herself and closed her eyes. “Stop talking and start licking. I want to feel you pumping a finger in and out of me.”
    Stephan was a gifted lover, but he was particularly skilled in the oral sex department. He licked around her clit, teased her until she was digging a hand into his shoulder, and took her gently between his teeth.
    She was wet and ready for his finger when he slid it inside her and started to do his magical circular motions that always drove her crazy. “Oh, God, yes.”
    His tongue began to flick back and forth over her clit, slowly at first, then faster and faster. She called out with pleasure when she finally came, and he picked her up and tossed her down on the bed.
    “What else do you want?” he asked in a hungry, husky tone as he stripped off his own clothing. “Tell me.”
    “I want to be this happy for the rest of my life,” she said, loving each part of him he uncovered.
    “I can do that.” He crawled onto the bed and positioned himself above her, then rolled until she was sprawled on top. “But I was hoping for something a little more specific.”
    She smiled down at him. She wasn’t assertive by nature, but his love was her safety net. “Then slide yourself inside me and quit your chatting.”
    He did, and together they went to a place they’d gone many times before, but this time was more playful than it had been in a while. When she lay in his arms afterward, she thought about something his mother had once told her about how to make a marriage work. “Honesty. Respect. Forgiveness. And a little red bikini.”
    The longer she was married, the more wisdom Nicole found in those words. The bikini symbolized keeping the passion fresh and exciting. Naked in her husband’s arms, Nicole vowed to do just that. She leaned forward and kissed him, thrusting her tongue deep into his mouth and teasing his into hers. “Now, you tell me what you want.”
    Stephan groaned and checked the clock on the bedside table. “We don’t have time.”
    Nicole leaned off the bed, found his phone and sent a text. “We do now,” she said cheekily.
    “I told him I’m getting an early Christmas present.”
    Stephan grabbed the phone, looked at it, and tossed it onto the floor. “You sent it from my phone? Your brother will kill me, but I’ll worry about that later. Come here, wife.”
    Nicole laughed, a little embarrassed. “Sorry. Do you want me to send another text explaining it?”
    “No,” he growled against her neck. “I want you to make it up to me.”
    “I can do that, but you’ll have to be a little more specific.”
    Abby checked the time on her phone. “It’s seven thirty. Do you think it’s safe to head over there now?”
    Dominic stood by the tall glass-paned wall and glared at the other house. “For them or for us?”
    Abby tucked herself beneath her husband’s arm. “Have a sense
