Love in Country (De La Fuente Family 4)

I try to catch my breath, but instead I catch Sarah as she carefully drops to my chest. Just the feel of her breasts against me sends an answering awareness to my cock, which starts to twitch alive again.

“I’m not sure I can go again.”

I chuckle at her tired response. “I know the feeling, but I’m sure if I carried you to the bed and laid you out I could wake you up.”

“I’m sure you could.” She kisses my chest, and lifts her head.

“I love you, Aiden,” she says, softly.

Reaching up, I tangle my fingers into her hair and bring her to my lips. Kissing her softly, I hold her gaze and tell her, “You are the most beautiful woman that I’ve ever seen, and I’m so thankful that you’re mine. I love you, Sarah.”

Tugging her back into my arms, I let her sleep.

One week later ~ Sarah

I’ve done nothing but fidget with my red evening dress from the minute I put it on and made the mistake of asking Aiden to zip me up. I should have really known better, but as we were running late, I figured he’d behave. So now, here I am, at this glamorous dinner at a prestigious hotel in downtown Dallas, Texas, without a stitch of underwear on.

Aiden is so bad and I’ve been in a constant state of arousal since the minute he slipped my panties off.

It does feel a bit strange considering I’m on Greg’s arm, but Aiden being within three feet of me at all times is nice, although irritating Greg.

“At least Matthew knows how to behave,” Greg hisses between his teeth.

I keep the smile plastered on my face. “Aiden needs me close, and I like it.”

Greg inhales and slowly exhales. “I’m sorry. I’m nervous and I’m taking it out on you, which is wrong. You’ve been really good through all this, and I’m truly happy that you’ve found your happily ever after with Aiden.”

“Hmm…” I sigh and Greg chuckles.

A few hours later I’m ready to use my stiletto heels to cause bodily harm. My good intention has gone out of the window and I’m tired and cranky, which is never good. And if the woman in the white evening dress doesn’t take her paws off Aiden everyone is going to be getting more of a show than they bargained for.

The only saving grace is that Aiden isn’t taking her on at all, he quickly realized she’s after more than a mere hello.

“Sarah, let me introduce you to…”

“No,” I snap, and retrieve my arm from the curve of Greg’s. “I’ve had enough.”

Greg follows my gaze and then says, “Oh,” when he sees what has my attention. “She works in PR and has a reputation.” He frowns.

That does it.

“I’m going over there to claim my man, and”—I turn and find Matthew who looks about to lose his cool as well—“I suggest you go and soothe Matthew. He looks upset…You can’t put it off any longer, and you know that.” My words being said, I narrow my eyes and head toward Aiden who has a panicked look on his face until he meets my gaze.

The obvious relief I see makes me see red at the hussy for putting the moves on my man.

Nudging her out of the way, I step into Aiden, winding my arms around his waist. I sigh as his arms enclose me and feel his lips against my forehead.

I squeeze his waist before I turn and face the woman who I recall from previous functions. If I remember correctly she was once after Greg. “I can’t remember your name,” I start, “but I suggest you go and find a man that’s available instead of one of mine.” I cock an eyebrow.

“One of your men,” she puts her hands on her hips. “Just how many men do you have?”

“Well, there’s Greg, who I’m in the middle of divorcing, and then there’s his partner, and last but certainly not least there’s the man I’m in love with.” I smirk at the look on her face, but I ignore her now as I turn back into Aiden’s arms.

“I’ve had enough.”

His hand cups the back of my head as I catch the woman disappearing into the throng of guests.
