Chapter Nine
âJust a sec!â Mikey called in a strained, deep voice.
There was a muffled laugh from the door. âMandyâs got more coffee. Come on out when your movie finishes.â
âWe will. Thanks!â he called back.
The footsteps withdrew.
He let out the breath heâd been holding. Bernie sat beside him as if in a daze, her top still up around her neck, her breasts pressed hard into the thick hair on Mikeyâs broad chest. He looked down at her with wonder.
âI guess the jig would have been up if Sari had opened that door,â he laughed.
She smiled dreamily up at him. âI guess.â
He drew in a hard breath. âI suppose weâd better stop while weâre ahead.â He drew back and looked down at her bare breasts with fascination. âOver the years, Iâve seen a lot of women undressed,â he murmured. âBut none of them were half as beautiful as you are, honey.â He stroked her soft, firm breast and leaned down, putting his lips reverently to it. âIâll live on this my whole life.â
Her heart skipped. She just looked at him with everything she felt for him in her green eyes. His jaw clenched. He still wanted her, now more than ever. But he managed some control as he pulled down the bra and fastened it, then drew the sweater down over her waist.
She smiled and fastened the buttons of his shirt. He looked rumpled and his hair was mussed from her hands in it. She loved the way he looked. He was a little flushed, too, and his dark eyes danced as they met hers.
âYouâd like Vegas,â he said. âFor visits, anyway, itâs an exciting place. Plenty of music and neon lights. An oasis in the desert.â
She put her hands on his chest, over the buttoned shirt. âI donât guess youâd like a little Texas town that draws the sidewalks in at dusk,â she said without meeting his eyes.
âIâd like wherever you called home, Bernie,â he said solemnly. âWe come from different places. But that doesnât mean both of us canât adapt to something else, even if itâs just for a little while.â He bent and kissed her very softly. âI didnât want to stop. You go to my head like whiskey. It was like sailing on the clouds.â
She laughed and pressed close. âFor me, too.â
His arms contracted, holding her close and rocking her. âWeâd better finish watching the movie. There may be a quiz after.â
She laughed with pure delight. âOkay.â
He drew her gently down beside him and clasped her hand tight in his. They watched the screen until the credits came on. Mikey turned off the entertainment center and drew Bernie along with him out the door and into the kitchen.
Paul and Sari looked up as they came into the room. Both were grinning.
âYeah, we got a little friendly,â Mikey said defensively. âIt was me, mostly.â
âIt was me, too,â she said, and smiled up at him.
âYou donât need to excuse anything to us,â Paul chuckled. âWeâve only been married three years.â
âHe means, weâre still on our honeymoon,â Sari teased.
