She, on the other hand, was not getting the least bit wet at the idea of getting to be with Cole again. With Des watching. Even with Van watching.
Maybe she
was
a freak.
“It wouldn’t change anything with us. One night, then it would be back to business as usual.” He tucked one of her curls behind her ear. “Maybe then Cole and Van would finally stop filling this place up with so much frigging sexual tension. It’s really distracting.”
“Only if you’re a pervert at heart. And y’all are, every one of you.”
Des brushed a kiss over the top of her head. “You aren’t? What the hell are you doing with me?”
She couldn’t help laughing. “I love you.” She swallowed and lowered her gaze to the small heart promise ring she wore on her left hand. They were engaged to be engaged, as he’d said. She looked at that ring so much it was a miracle the diamond hadn’t popped out yet from the force of her stare. “I want to make you happy.”
“Hey, hey. Look at me.” He cupped her face in his palms, his sea-colored eyes steady on hers. “You do. Every day. Every minute. You’re more than enough for me. Forever.”
Hearing that, believing it, made it so much easier to pursue the things she was curious about, even if she couldn’t quite admit them to him—or herself. “It’s the same for me.”
“I know, baby. That’s why there isn’t anything we can’t try together. Nothing will harm what we have. It’s not possible.”
Wendy lowered her lashes. “Maybe Cole won’t want to.”
They both laughed at the ridiculousness of that statement. Yeah freaking right. Cole was up—literally—for everything.
“Okay,” she whispered, meeting Des’s gaze. Every emotion she needed to see resided in those warm blue-green depths. Affection. Trust. Love. “Talk to Cole.”
Coming late 2013:
Stripped
, the story of Cole and Vanessa,
