No Place Like Home: The Coming Home Series, Book 1 by Jennifer Kacey Page B

I really took a full deep breath until the judge told me she was really mine. Free and clear. No one can ever take her from me now. Epic.”
    Charlie moved up a tiny bit to kiss his lush mouth. “I know we really just met and all that, but I’m so very proud of you. I hope that doesn’t come across sounding trite. It’s the best I’ve got for telling you how floored I am by who you are.”
    “And I’m hot,” he added with a cocky grin and lift of his eyebrows. Somehow he couldn’t take a compliment any easier than she could.
    Charlie laid her head back down on his arm and laughed. “Humble too.”
    “Meh. Two outta three’s not bad.”
    “So…” She trailed off, not exactly knowing where to go next.
    “So… You can’t stop there. There’s a rule somewhere that states you have to finish that thought.”
    “What now? What else are you looking for?”
    “I want it all, just like everybody else, I guess. Wife, dog, more kids. Two or three, not that two point five stuff though. That half a kid gives me the creeps.”
    “Naturally.”
    “But I can’t leave. Can’t move, I mean. It would be a logistical nightmare because of Addyson, and my mom, not to mention the bureau. But this is also home.” He shrugged, not having anything else to add she didn’t think.
    “Well.” She sighed dramatically. “We aren’t meant to be then.”
    He stiffened and got up on his bottom elbow to stare down at her. She grinned, unable to keep a straight face.
    “And why is this, oh keeper of all things Oz-like?”
    “The dog. I’m allergic to dogs.”
    “Ahh.” He rolled her over onto her back and knelt between her legs. He pulled her shorts and panties down her legs and tossed them next to the couch. Moving her legs wide, he settled with his head between her legs and nibbled at her thighs. “Then you’re in luck.”
    “Why is this?” She sucked in a breath as he circled her clit with his tongue.
    “That’s the only point that’s negotiable. I’m actually a cat person myself, with a penchant for Harry Potter. Oh, you might want to grab that throw pillow behind you.”
    “Wh-h-why?” stuttered out of her as he filled her with one finger and then two.
    “Because I’m going to make you come and if I remember correctly, you can get kind of loud.”
    “For you.” She tugged the pillow free and set it on her forehead as she panted, already close to coming. “Only for you.”
    “Best. Reason. Ever.”
    He set to work at a pace she couldn’t fight, nor did she want to. Her legs shook and her heart beat against her breastbone. Her hips pulsed in time with every lick of his tongue along her clit.
    “I fucking love the leg you have on my back. You pulling me closer to your pussy, the closer you get. So fucking hot.”
    “I’m gonna come.”
    “Yes. You. Are.” He punctuated each word with a lick and a swirl around her clit, and then he opened his eyes and pegged her with a gaze so full of lust and need she exploded.
    The pillow absorbed most of the sound but not all of it.
    Not all of it because Cole held her down. One hand wrapped around her and the second still inside her, with his mouth fastened onto her clit. He wouldn’t let up and Cole knew exactly what to do to keep her coming.
    Several times she tried to scoot away but he wouldn’t let her.
    He finally stopped when she was arched off the arm of the couch but he yanked her back down until she was flat on her back. “Need. You.”
    Pulling a condom from beneath the waistband of his shorts, he was naked, sheathed and thrusting into her faster than she could remember her own name.
    Face to face, heartbeat to heartbeat, sex to sex.
    No words were needed.
    “I’ve waited my whole life for you.”
    Damn .
    Apparently a few words were needed and she just didn’t know until he spoke them.
    He thrust inside her, moving harder and stronger on each push of his hips. His jaw tight, his shoulders tense and her lower legs wrapped over his thighs.
    “Let me see
