My mother laughed. “You think you know where she is?”
“I do. Can you take care of the kids tonight and get them to school tomorrow?”
“Of course.” She pulled the phone away and said, “Jack, we’re gonna spend the night at Drew’s.”
I quickly put the kids’ lunches in the refrigerator and made my way to our bedroom.
“We’ll be there in a few minutes.”
“Thanks, Mom. I owe you and Dad big time.”
She chuckled. “Just go get her and bring her home already.”
“Oh, I intend to, Mom. I intend to.”
I stepped out of the elevator and made my way down the hallway of The Driskill hotel. I smiled as I stopped and stood in front of the room where Ellie and I had spent our honeymoon. I pushed my hand through my hair and counted down from ten. My hands were shaking, and for some reason, I was scared to death she would open the door and shut it in my face.
I knocked and held my breath.
When the door opened and she saw me, her eyes lit up, and the biggest smile spread across her face. “Drew.”
I smiled and slowly let out the breath I had been holding. “Ellie.”
She shook her head. “How did you know where to find me? I told Alex I would be home tomorrow. What are you doing here?”
I started walking into the room as she began walking backward.
“I’m here to make love to my wife.”
Ellie’s eyes changed and held that familiar passion I loved so much. I shut the door behind me.
She bit down on her lower lip and whispered, “I was hoping you would figure out where I was.”
I walked up to her and placed my hands on the sides of her face. I leaned down and kissed her. She placed her hands on my chest and moaned as our tongues began dancing together.
The kiss was slow and sweet at first. I just wanted to take it slow. I’d missed her so much the last few days. I wanted to take every single thing in—the feel of her lips on mine, the smell of her hair, and the warmth of her touch.
I pulled my lips from hers and watched as a tear made its way down her beautiful face. I gently wiped it away.
She said, “Gunner, I’ve missed you so much.”
“I promise you, Ellie, I will never make you feel lost again. Knowing I made you doubt our love kills me. I intend on making it up to you…all night.”
She smiled. “That sounds like a good plan.”
I took a step back and slowly lifted my T-shirt up and over my head. I unbuttoned my pants and pushed them down, allowing my dick to spring free. I watched her eyes travel up and down my body as she took me in. When she licked her lips, I wanted to bury myself so deep inside her that she would never again doubt my love for her.
“Undress yourself, Ells.”
I almost laughed when I watched her pull her shirt over her head. She quickly pushed her shorts and panties down before kicking them off to the side of the room.
“Gunner, I need to feel you.”
I walked up to her and grabbed her. I pulled her to me and lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around me, and my knees felt weak just from having her in my arms.
I loved her so much.
I walked over to the bed and gently laid her on it as I smiled down at her. “I’m going to make love to you now, baby.”
