When she finally blinked her eyes open, she found herself being carried to the bedroom. “Now you want a bed,” she managed to tease.

Desire clouding his eyes, he grinned. “I didn’t want to give you bruises. I’m feeling energetic.”

“Caleb!” It was impossible to contain her laughter in the face of the unusual spark of mischief in his eyes.

He set her down gently on the bed. “I love your laugh.” It was a quiet declaration.

Stunned, she held out her hands. He kept surprising her. Just when she thought she knew all she could about him, he came up with something so tender it broke her heart into a thousand pieces. “I miss you.”

Holding her gaze, he shucked his sweatpants and got into bed beside her, one big hand stroking down her thigh as he bent his head to place a kiss on the exposed skin of her throat. Her dress was light but it felt too confining. When she wiggled, he raised his head. “What’s the matter?”

“I want to take off this dress.” She blushed. It was silly to blush after everything they’d done together but she’d always been shy about undressing in front of Caleb.

His eyes skimmed over her body. “I want to see you take it off.” It was a challenge, but more than that, it was a request.

There was nothing she wanted more than to give him what he needed. But as Caleb himself had said, the habits of a lifetime couldn’t be so easily forgotten. She wasn’t some bold temptress; she was a woman accustomed to holding back.

Biting her lower lip, she pushed at his chest until he moved aside. In his eyes she saw nothing but patience. Once she was on her knees, she smoothed the dress over her thighs, feeling the heels of her feet against the bare skin of her buttocks. “Caleb?”

He spoke from behind her. “Yeah?”

“You have to keep helping me. Okay?” It was becoming easier each time she asked, because she was starting to learn that Caleb wouldn’t deny her requests. Unlike the people who’d shaped her childhood, he’d never ignore her needs and tell her to toughen up.

“Always.” He moved around until he was kneeling in front of her. “Close your eyes.”

She let her lashes flutter shut. Then she lifted her fingers to the back zipper of her dress. Caleb’s arms came around her as he helped her lower the fastening. She breathed in the warm, masculine scent of him and allowed her body to soften in pleasure. She’d come this far and was now tempted to push forward.

Caleb pulled away once the zipper was open and she knew what he was waiting for. Her husband wanted to see her undress in front of him. For most husbands and wives, it was an intimacy they took for granted. But for Caleb and Vicki it was so much more. Eyes still closed, she slid the straps down her arms and off her fingertips.

“You’re wearing a bra.” Caleb’s voice was a caress in the darkness of her mind.
