“Or in the kitchen, if that’s what you prefer,” De
I couldn’t help but laugh as I walked over and kissed De
After having the best sex with Co
“Hello, princess! We’re going to have so much fun in Chicago. Uncle Mason is going to take you to the American Girl store.”
“Don’t you think she’s a little young for that?” Co
“Bite your tongue! You’re never too young for those beautiful and fun dolls.”
Once we arrived at the airport, we boarded Co
“I have my own room? Aren’t na
“You have your own room where you can hang out with Julia when we need you to. Your bar is fully stocked with the best liquor, so please enjoy. But not while Julia’s with you.”
“Have I told you how much I love you?” Mason winked at him.
Stepping into the suite, I threw myself on the luxurious king-sized bed. Co
“Di

“I want to make love to you, Ellery Black; right here and right now. I want to touch and feel every inch of your bare skin, and I want to feel your excitement all over me. Then I want to take you into the bathtub and soap up your naked body while making love to you again.”
I gasped. His effect on me was riveting, and I was already wet just from his words. He always made me feel like I was the only woman on Earth, and his constant hunger for me made my body tremble. I stared into his mesmerizing eyes as he slid his hand down my yoga pants, not stopping until he felt how aroused I was.
“God, you’re so wet, baby,” he moaned as dipped his finger inside me.
I arched my back and threw back my head, begging for more as he ripped off my pants and tossed them on the floor.
While I freshened up my makeup and fixed my hair, Co
“Look at your glowing face, Miss Ellery. You must’ve had amazing sex.”
I didn’t turn around. I looked at him through the mirror and smiled.
“I knew it!” he exclaimed.
“Oh, stop it. You knew we were going to when he had you take Julia to your room.”
Mason took a few steps forward and leaned in closer to me. “Just tell me one thing: is he as amazing in bed as he looks like he’d be?”
I knitted my eyebrows at him and then smiled. “Yes, and amazing doesn’t even describe how skillful he is.”
“Damn, I knew it.” He sighed.
“Stop dreaming about my husband and help me pick out a dress to wear.”
As I walked over to the closet and looked at the four dresses I brought, Co
“Which one?” I asked as I held both dresses up.
“The blue one. The red one,” both Co
I looked at both of them with a twisted face. “Okay, the black one it is,” I said as I put the red and blue dresses back, and I pulled out the black one.
“Thank you, gentlemen. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a dress to put on.”
“Okay, black works,” I heard Mason say as I walked into the bathroom and shut the door.
When I finished putting on my dress and black heels, I kissed Julia goodbye while Co
“Ellery Black. It’s nice to finally meet you,” he said as he kissed me lightly on the cheek.
“It’s nice to meet you as well, Vi
The two of them shook hands, then we took our seats and opened our menus.
“I took the liberty of ordering us a bottle of their finest Pinot grigio. I hope you don’t mind.”
“No, not at all.” Co
After deciding what I wanted for di
“The gallery is about ten thousand square feet. I would like to show you it tomorrow morning, if possible.”
“We need to fly back to New York in the morning. How about tonight, after di
“Okay, tonight will be fine.” Vi
“The opening of the gallery will take place in forty-five days,” Vi
I took a sip of my wine and swallowed hard. I didn’t know if I could do it. But I wasn’t going to let him know that.
“Of course I can work with that,” I said as I took another sip of wine.
“Great. When we go and tour the unfinished gallery, I’ll show you the space I have picked out for your paintings.”
As we ate our fine cuisine and drank our wine, Co
“How’s my baby?”
“I’m fine, thank you. Oh wait, you mean the princess. She’s adorable and she’s sleeping.”
“Great. We’ll be back to the hotel later. We’re going to take a tour of the art gallery.”
“No hurry and have fun.”
After we toured the art gallery, Co
“Did you like the gallery?”
“I loved it. It’s going to be amazing once it’s finished.”
“It’ll be amazing when your paintings are hanging on the wall.” He smiled.
After I kissed him on the cheek, I laid my head on his shoulder while I was worried about whether or not I’d be able to finish all five paintings in time. When I was single, the worry would never have crossed my mind. But now that I was a wife and a mother, it was going to be difficult, even with Co
Chapter 19 Co
After we had a nice breakfast, we flew back to New York. I had De
“I’ll see you later, baby,” I said as I kissed Ellery and then Julia goodbye.
“Bye, sweetheart. Don’t work too hard.”
I shut the door and walked into the building. As I stepped onto the elevator, my phone rang. It was Paul.
“I’m on my way up to see you. I’m in the elevator.”
When the elevator doors opened, I walked down the hallway to Paul’s office. I opened the door and sat down across from him.
“I found a place for Ellery’s art studio.”
“Great; where’s it at?” I asked.
“In your building.”
I looked at him in confusion. “What do you mean, in my building? What building?”
“Where you live, Co
I knitted my eyebrows while I got up and walked over to his coffee pot. “I don’t know if that’s such a good idea. I wanted it outside of the building.”
