herself.
“I know. And…” he shrugged, “…we were all there.” He couldn’t deny that Dani had been surrounded by the people who could best help her and the babies at that moment. Ben wasn’t an obstetrician, but what he lacked in labor and delivery experience, he made up for in intelligence and flat-out love for Dani and those twins. The ambulance crew—him, Dooley, Sam and Mac—were the best in the city. That wasn’t ego talking—it was fact. They’d delivered babies in worse places than a limo. And, if nothing else, they were all there to support Ben, Sam, Dani and each other through the trying moments. As always.
Kevin knew from personal experience how much stronger he felt when they were all there.
Eve grinned and then rose onto her knees and slid into his lap, facing him. “You were. And it’s darned hard to not sit back and think ‘they’ve got it’ when you’re all there together. You’re a force of nature.” She leaned in and kissed him sweetly. “Thanks for being who you are. I love you with all my heart.”
“Right back at ya,” he said huskily, bringing her forward for a more thorough kiss.
Making out in a hospital chapel would have seemed like a bad idea on the surface, but God knew—and Kevin meant that literally—that he and Eve had been over some big bumps to get to the point where they could sit side by side in a pew. His heart couldn’t help but think there might not be a better place to truly show his wife how much she meant to him.
Kevin ran his hands up under the back of her shirt, pressing her closer and opening his mouth. Their tongues stroked and he felt her shift restlessly against the fly of his pants.
She pulled back before he was even close to done.
She moved her mouth down the side of his neck, making him groan.
“I love how strong you are,” she said against his skin, running her hands over his shoulders and down to his biceps where she squeezed. “You always make me feel safe and protected.”
Kevin tipped his head back as her lips found the front of his throat, her tongue flicking a hot line inside the collar of his shirt.
“I love your hands.” She slid her hands down his arms to the backs of his hands where he held her hips. “I love your chest.” She ran her palms over the hard planes of his chest and down over his stomach. “And your abs, and, of course, everything lower.” She cupped his erection and he gritted his teeth.
Unclenching his jaw, he said, “I know you do, babe.”
“But what really makes me crazy is when you’re with your friends,” she said against his ear, pressing her breasts into his chest.
Kevin paused at that. “My friends?”
Eve sat back on his thighs, looking his straight in the eye. “You are…amazing. You’re always there when someone needs you, sometimes even before they know they need you.”
“I—”
She put her hand over his mouth. “I want to tell you this. I want to be sure to say this to you.”
He swallowed hard and nodded.
“I love watching you with Drew. You would do anything for that kid and the world knows it. It’s in how you talk to him and treat him, how you look at him, how you smile when you talk about him. And that makes me want to push you into a corner and kiss you until neither of us can breathe.”
Kevin watched her face, afraid he wouldn’t have any words to use anyway. Drew was his little brother. He’d do anything for him. But he had no idea it also served as foreplay.
“When I see you goofing around with Sam and Mac and Dooley—and putting up with them with that affectionate, resigned look you get on your face—it makes me want to strip off your clothes and lick every inch of you.”
He felt his eyebrows rise. He hadn’t known that. Dang .
“When you hug Sara or tease Dani or order coffee for Jessica when you order your own, I want to strip off my clothes and beg you to lick every inch of me .”
His eyes widened further and he had to shift underneath her to
