Oh. My. And there it went. My entire world was just given to Aaron Matthew Walker.

Closing my eyes, I prayed to God that he didn’t destroy my heart in the process.

Slowly opening my eyes, I squinted to keep the blinding sun away. Rolling over, my heart sunk when I saw the empty spot next to me. Then something under the covers moved. Lifting the covers, I laughed when I saw Princess stretching.

“Hey you!” I said as Princess looked at me and started moving out from under the covers. Covering my face in wet kisses, Princess flopped down next to me. That’s when I noticed the note tied around her collar. Untying it, I opened it up to find a note from Aaron.

Clearing my throat, I read the note out loud to the dog lying next to me. “Good morning, Princess.” Glancing at the dog, I asked, “Is he talking to you . . . or to me?”

Princess barked as I laughed. Continuing to read the note out loud, Princess began biting the sheet. “I’m sorry I wasn’t here when you woke up. You looked so beautiful sleeping that I didn’t dare disturb you.”

Looking at Princess, I shook my head. “Who is this version of your daddy, Princess?”

Letting out a little bark, the pup was just as lost as I was.

“Let’s keep reading.” Looking back at the note, I went on. “I’m heading out for a quick run and then will bring you back some breakfast. Love you, baby.”

Dropping the note to my side, I let out a sigh as I pulled my knees to my chest. Attempting to hold in the childlike giggling fit that was building, I closed my eyes and thought back to last night. Aaron had woke me up around four in the morning and made love to me again. It was slow and beautiful. I’d never experienced such bliss. Lifting my fingertips to my lips, I gasped at how swollen they were. Dropping my head back against the headboard, I let it go and giggled. Princess jumped on me as I picked her up and snuggled her.

Princess went crazy as she gave me sweet little puppy kisses. Laughing, I said, “Why you woke up just a happy little thing this morning didn’t you, sweetheart.”

“She isn’t the only who woke up happy this morning.”

The sound of his voice caused my heart to drop to my stomach. Peeking around the extra spunky golden retriever, I saw the man of my dreams standing there. Soaking wet in sweat while wearing a drop-dead gorgeous smile on his face. I could still feel the effects of his five o’clock shadow all over my body. Swallowing hard, I opened my mouth to say something, but the only thing that came out was a moan.

Aaron walked up to the side of the bed and gazed upon me. My heartbeat had increased significantly as I looked up at him. “I want to take you in my arms but I’m sweaty.”

Pushing Princess off of me, I hopped up on the bed and walked over to him. His eyes moved across my body as he took me in. I loved how he looked at me like I was his everything. Robert never looked at me this way. Since I was standing on the bed, I was looking down at Aaron as he looked up at me. “I think I’ll take my chances.”

Lifting his T-shirt over his head, Aaron dropped it to the floor and smiled at me. Wrapping my arms around his neck, Aaron took a step away from the bed as I wrapped my legs around him.

“Take a shower with me,” he whispered against my lips.

“You don’t have to ask me twice,” I purred back.

Walking me into the bathroom, Aaron reached in and turned the shower on. Slowly setting me down, he pushed my hair back and then took a handful and pulled my head back, exposing my neck to him. “Everyone is gone. It’s playtime, Sierra.”

Holy hell. Those six words had my insides doing all kinds of crazy things. “Playtime? What kind of playtime?”

Aaron pushed his running shorts off and revealed his hard dick. Feeling my insides go crazy, I wanted more than anything for him to get a little rough with me. The slow and romantic lovemaking was amazing, but I wanted to see the other side of Aaron. The side that would have me screaming out in pure pleasure.

Walking into the shower, Aaron took my hands and led me in. Pushing me against the cold shower wall, I sucked in a breath. Aaron smashed his lips to mine and kissed me until our breaths became one. Pulling away from me, Aaron placed his hand on the side of my face and smiled.

Cue my libido. It’s officially kicked into overdrive.

“Sierra, I’m going to fuck you. Hard.”

Swallowing hard, I whispered, “Oh. I’m totally good with that.”

My mind was swirling with his words. Sierra, I’m going to fuck you. Hard.

Aaron’s lips were moving across my neck as I dropped my head back and moaned. Dear God. I’ve died and gone to heaven.
