this mean you don’t like the present, baby?” he asked gently.
    “Present?”
    Luke smiled. “I bought her for you, Dr. Doolittle.”
    Ava’s heart squeezed, he was calling her Doolittle again. Was the puppy a consolation prize then?
    “You bought her for me? Is this like one of those, ‘the sex was grand, but once was enough’, kind of presents?”
    “No, baby, nothing like that.” He touched the tip of her nose. “I wanted to get you something and I knew she would be perfect the instant I saw her. There is one condition though.”
    Her eyes narrowed. “And just what might that be?”
    “I come with her. We’re a package deal.”
    Her mouth dropped open. Surely she hadn’t heard him right.
    “You and Oreo? You both want to be… mine ?”
    Luke leaned forward and kissed her. It was soft and fleeting.
    Darn it, Ava really wanted more. A lot more. She’d never get enough of his kisses.
    “I love you, Ava. I want to be yours.”
    “What about your other girlfriends?” she needed it all on the table. “You like having your freedom. You’ve said it more than once.”
    “I’ve wanted you for awhile now, Ava. If you’d been paying attention, you would have noticed my lack of a social life for the past six months.” And as if that wasn’t enough of a bomb, he dropped one more on her, just for good measure. “I even gave my little black book away.”
    Ava rubbed her eyes. Scared and overwhelmed at once.
    “Well?” he asked. “Don’t you have anything to say?”
    He sounded so disgruntled, maybe even a little bit scared. Could it really be true? “You love me, Luke?” Before he could answer, she went for broke. “Because I’ve loved you forever. Once I have you, I won’t be taking you back for a refund either. All sales are final.”
    He grinned lasciviously at her. “Sold.” Then his expression turned intense as he murmured, “Now, I want you naked and in my bed.”
    Ava grinned. “Yeah, that works for me,” because then he’d be naked too.
    Luke reached around her and swatted her bottom. “Get moving,” he growled. “I’ve waited over twenty-four hours to have you back in my arms. A man has only so much patience, baby.”
    Ava laughed and ran for the bedroom, Luke hot on her heels. As soon as she entered, he started yanking at his clothes. She helpless-ly followed suit, captivated as he unwrapped his gorgeous body.
    The moment they were both naked, he pushed her onto the mattress and covered her with his body. “You drive me wild, Dr. Doolittle,”
    he hissed, then he touched and stroked. Ava was about to pull him down for a kiss, but he stopped her with a finger to her lips.
    “You were a very bad girl, leaving me that way. Remember what I said happens to bad girls, baby?”
    “Oh my.”
    Luke winked. “Turn over; it’s time to take your punishment.”
    Ava hesitated. “I’m not sure about this, Luke.”
    “Never had a man inside that sexy ass of yours?” She shook her head. “Good. That means its uncharted territory.”
    She would have laughed had she not been so nervous. “Maybe it should stay uncharted.”
    “Nope. It needs to be explored. Thoroughly.”
    “How about next time,” she hedged.
    Luke made a tsking sound. “You should know by now that I wouldn’t do anything to cause you pain. Give it a chance, baby. If you don’t like it, we’ll stop. I promise.”
    She still didn’t think this was something she was going to like, but she trusted Luke. Ava turned over. Luke reached over and grabbed something off the nightstand. She frowned when she saw what it was.
    “Warming lubricant?”
    Luke grinned down at her. “I planned ahead. The instant I found you gone, I went shopping. Oreo wasn’t the only thing I bought for you today.”
    He drizzled the oil onto her buttocks and began massaging the liquid into her flesh. Her skin heated instantly. When she felt his fingers dip into her seam and probe her anus, Ava moaned.
    The rest of the day was spent with Luke
