Primal Obsession (34 page)
Authors: Susan Vaughan
His shoulders lowered in apparent relief. “None of this is yours.” He sheathed himself, then wriggled into the cradle of her thighs. “Not even this infield-size bed?”
She punched him in the arm. “We can go bed shopping. When do you start the batting-coach job?”
“Right away. The other guy left to take a broadcasting job.” He shook his head at the insanity of that move. “And your job here?”
“No problem.” No need to explain for now. She hadn’t yet accepted the LA offer. “A couple of publishers have approached me about a true-crime book about Holden Smith."
His mouth turned down. "You want to relive that nightmare? Listen to his smarmy voice on the tapes?"
"The hefty advance New York is talking would take the sting out of all that. Writing it down would get that obsession out of my system."
"So where—"
"I can write the book anywhere. If memory serves, Providence has a newspaper. If they don’t need a reporter, maybe the
Globe
or the
Herald
does."
"You're getting the big bucks for your book. That says best seller to me. The newspapers will come to you.”
"My folks'll want a Maine wedding."
His smile nearly blinded her. “Mine too. I don’t care when we get married or where, big wedding or small. I need you with me.” He nudged his arousal against her.
She opened to him. “Now and always. We make a good team, remember?”
He slid inside, and she gasped with the power of their joining. They remained still, content with the sense of connection.
“I remember.” His carnal gaze turned possessive. “Your baseball swing needs work, but you have one hell of a right cross. Our kids’ll have a choice of sports. You do want kids?”
“We can work on that on our honeymoon. Can we stay in that cute little cabin on the Eagle River?”
As response, he sank deeper. Inner muscles pulsed, beckoned.
And then neither could find the breath to speak.
