She hugged him close "Oh, you never would have done that You wouldn’t have dropped me Why do you think I just juone, soh the back rooms of the suite so he would have found h the front And you were going to cliht up to the balcony I was protected on all sides She didn’t have a chance"
"She had a chance to take a shot at you"
"Don’t, Lan I want this afternoon to be perfect I’m alive Our baby is alive The doctor said I can have sex just about any ant We only have a few le sex before we hed and rested her head on his chest, listening to the sound of his heart "Please, Lan I need to know if I’ve lost Dane"
"You haven’t lost any of us, baby Dane just feels the weight of what happened And I’e That’s why Coop came up with this insane plan" He leaned over and kissed her, his lips brushing against hers "You have to prove to Dane you can handle the whole Do I know he thinks he can live without it, but there will be a huge hole in his life"
And in hers as well because she craved the kind of doive her "I want him to be happy, Lan And I want this part of him I trust you and Dane and Cooper I love you all soI don’t want any walls between us"
"All right Let’s get this ball rolling then You’re wrong about the single sex though, baby I haven’t been single since thetis He thought he was inept, but he always kne to calm her She seon, where their lives together were going to begin again
"It’s down here," Cooper said, practically pulling Dane along
What was up with that? Dane pulled back
"Coop, the only thing that way is the dungeon" And he didn’t want to be there God, he hated the fact that there was a dungeon right here and he would never step into it with Alea He would never lovingly bind her and torture her for their mutual pleasure He would never hear her call him Master
Husband He had to be satisfied with being her husband She couldn’t handle the missionary position, so he definitely couldn’t expect her to climb onto a St Andrews Cross and count it out for hieon," Cooper insisted "Coht"
"In the dungeon?"
Cooper shrugged "It’s the one place I don’t expect her to look Co doubts"
About loving Alea? Not a chance About being the rightall kind of doubts about that He could still reuard dead in front of her rooe to Dane You’ll lose her You can’t keep her, you fucking pervert You ruin everything you touch
He could still hear his ex-wife and his father He’d lost one family over his needs Was he ready to lose another one? Did he even deserve another one?
"I love Alea, but the last couple of days have been rough I had to kill her cousin I think I should give her some space"
"Her cousin was a jealous whack job as trying to kill her I think she’s going to be fine with you pulling that particular trigger The al Mussads are wonderful, but I have to say that the extended fa to be desired First Khalil and then Yasmin I think we should take a look at the old family tree and prune it proactively of any other cousins who don’t live in the palace Really, it’ll save us so much time and crap in the future," Cooper said
Dane turned to hieon, and he really didn’t get Coop’s goodlove to Alea Coop had been wrapping himself in her sweetness Lan was too worried And Dane just kept his distance She hadn’t wanted him since their time on the island, and he couldn’t shove his needs on her Alea was pregnant, and he’d forced her to s lately, but she’d only said them after she’d learned about the baby
"This isn’t sohed "Buddy, you have to get out of this mood"
"She almost died"
"But she didn’t She’s alive and needs to know that we still love her She needs to know that her men will always be here for her"
Probably But did she love them? If he could shove his darker desires down,anywhere, Coop" He would be right there standing beside them when theyvanilla He would prove he could find a place in this faeon would only prove now that he was a pussy Tal was a Doet used to being around all the things he couldn’t have
"I know, but you’re not really here either You’re just existing, and it shouldn’t be that way We’re gettinga baby This is the tiet you unstuck" Cooper put a hand on the door
"Man, you need a key to that" Tal didn’t just leave the dungeon door open
"Not today, I don’t" Cooper turned the knob and pushed open the heavy door
"Holy shit" Dane stood there for a eon wasn’t eloriously naked
