Ignite (Speed Series Book 1)(32)

I nodded and sniffed like a five year-old child. “Very happy tears.”

Emmit gave me the sexiest grin as he ran the back of his hand over my cheek. “How about I show you the master bedroom next? We’ll get some sleep and pick the tour up tomorrow.”

I nodded my head as I barely spoke. “M-kay.”

Emmit reached down and picked me up as I snuggled into his chest. “Lola, bedtime,” Emmit said as Lola flew past us and down another hall. “The master bedroom is on this floor. Four more bedrooms are upstairs, along with four bathrooms.”

“Wow,” was all I could manage to say. My mind was still thinking about the kitchen. You could fit three of my apartment kitchens into this kitchen.

Pushing the door open to the bedroom, Emmit reached for the light. Again, my heart dropped as I took in the beautiful room. The walls were a beautiful light green. The king-size bed was exactly like the one I had on my Pinterest page and I let out another sob.

“The bed,” I sobbed as Emmit put me down. “The colors.” Spinning around, I looked at Emmit. “Is that the wall color we picked out for the condo bedroom?”

Emmit grinned. “Yep, sea salt.”

“You made this room just like the one I said I wanted when we bought a house someday.”

Emmit glanced down and pretended to kick at something on the floor. “I told you I dreamed of you coming back to me, Addie.” Emmit’s eyes captured mine. “I wanted everything to be perfect when you did come back.”

I slammed my body into Emmit’s as our mouths pressed together in a passionate kiss. Pulling his T-shirt over his head, I needed to have my body up against his now.

Emmit’s hand slid into my hair as it grabbed a fistful of hair and gave a tug, exposing my neck to his soft lips. “Addie, I want to take you on every surface of this house.”

Euphoria exploded within my body as I let Emmit’s words run through my head. “That’s a lot of love making,” I murmured as Emmit moved his hand slowly over my body.

“Yes, it is.”

I crinkled my nose and giggled. “Where do we start? This house is huge!”

Emmit scooped me up into his arms as he gave me a seductive look. “The shower of course.”

I wrapped my arms around his neck as Emmit walked me into the bathroom. The color continued into the bathroom and I felt like I had just stepped into a high-priced spa. My eyes landed on the deep tub that was surrounded by windows. I couldn’t wait to see what kind of a view was on the other side of those windows.

Emmit lowered my body slowly down as I felt his hard on pressed into my stomach. His hand ever so slowly lifted my T-shirt over my head. “Addie, do you have any idea how much I want you?”

My teeth sunk into my lower lip as I smiled and slowly nodded my head. “Show me, Emmit.”

It wasn’t long before I was whispering Emmit’s name as he slowly made love to me in the shower. My heart felt light as a feather as I basked in his sweet passionate lovemaking.

After drying me off ever so gently, Emmit carried me out to the bed. He placed me gently down as he crawled over me and sucked my lower lip into his mouth. “I’m going to hold you all night so when I wake up in the morning, I’ll know this hasn’t all been a dream.”

Warmth radiated throughout my body as my eyes searched Emmit’s face. A smile spread across my face and I was sure no matter how hard I tried, I wouldn’t be able to wipe it from my face.

Emmit lifted the covers as we both slipped under them. Turning on my side, Emmit pulled me into his body as we both sighed.

“Tell me what you’re thinking right at this moment, Addie.”

I didn’t even need time to think of my response. The words flowed out of my mouth as a single tear rolled down my cheek.

“I’m finally home.”





THE SOUNDS OF THE BIRDS chirping outside the window woke me as I adjusted my eyes to the light. Turning to my left, I smiled as I watched the love of my life sleeping peacefully. I couldn’t wait to show her more of the house and take her out on the boat. Last night had been amazing, and I knew if she loved what she saw so far, the rest was going to be easy.

My hand slowly trailed down her arm as Adaline let out a contented sigh and rolled over to face me. Her eyes opened as she gave me one hell of a smile. “Morning,” she said.

A piece of her light brown hair hung over her eye as she looked at me with nothing but love in her eyes. Pushing it behind her ear, I barely spoke above a whisper as I tried to control my emotions, “Morning, pumpkin.”

Instantly her lip was between her teeth as her eyes fell to my lips. “I’m hungry.”

I pulled her closer to me as I smiled. “For me or food?”

Her finger traced along my jaw line as she caught my eyes with hers. “Both. But I’m pretty sure I need fuel first.”

I kissed her on the forehead and said, “I’ve got the perfect place to go for breakfast. Dress casual.”

Adaline’s eyes lit up as she popped up and out of bed like she’d been up for hours. “Okay!”

Bouncing off to the bathroom, I let out a growl from the back of my throat as I watched her perfect ass sway as she walked.

“I heard that, Mr. Lewis.”

How in the hell did I luck out with this woman?
