CHAPTER EIGHT

That had been incredible. Amazing. Stupendous. Beyond description, actually. Sam licked his lips. Rapture had been given a physical presence and then it had been gifted to him. And the damn phone wouldn’t quit shrilly interfering. He felt Cherish lift her head. He wasn’t moving. He kept his eyes closed, his senses open. He was absorbing the experience of making love to her. She even had her ankles locked behind him still.

“Your phone...is ringing,” she told him.

His lips twitched. “You don’t say?”

“Yes. I do.”

He smiled. She was cute. Her phrasing so unique. As if she’d been kept in a bottle her entire life. Secluded. A third ring sounded, annoyingly loud as it echoed down the hallway.

“Are you going to answer it?”

“Not a chance. Even if my legs allowed it.”

He felt Cherish raise her head, her neck reached his shoulder as she craned her head. As if checking the status of his legs. And when she spoke, he knew that’s what she’d been doing.

“Why wouldn’t your legs allow it?”

He laughed, shifting things. Cherish jerked. Her legs tightened about him. And that was indescribably awesome, too.

“What is so amusing?” she asked.

“Oh, Cherish. This is so out there on the believability scale. Way out there. Holy sh—. I mean crap. I’m in awe. Absolute and complete awe.”

“You are?”

“Well...uh. Yeah. You just made me the most special man on the face of the earth. I’m still in shock. Almost too much shock to realize how ruined I am.”

“Ru...ined?”

She broke the word in two, her voice young. Unsure-sounding. The phone rang again, almost in concert. He waited for it to finish.

“Yeah. Ruined. You know...like for other women.”

“Other women?”

Her voice didn’t sound unsure anymore. If he had to peg it, he’d say she sounded surprised and on the way to angered. Or just angered. Man. Oh man. It figured he couldn’t even get a compliment out right.

“Wow. Let me try that again. I...well. I’m not exactly experienced. But even I can figure out there’s not another woman anywhere to compare with you. And what just happened. You are that awesome. Making love to you is...um. Yeah. Pretty unbelievable. I think you even overwrote my fantasies.”

The phone rang again. Insistently. Loudly.

“Don’t even think it, okay? I don’t care who is calling, or what they want. Or that it’s the middle of the night. I’m not answering it. I’m not wasting one moment away from how this feels.”

“It might be...important.”

Her voice caught on the words. That might mean he was saying the right thing for a change.

“This is going to sound corny, but what the heck. I just had the best experience of my life. The most important thing in my life at the moment is you. What just happened. Where I am. And how this feels. Okay? That means the phone and whoever is on the other end of the line, can take a flying leap.”

He lifted onto his elbows, put his nose alongside hers, and touched a kiss to her upper lip. Everything throughout his chest felt like it melted.
