Bliss (Entangled Hearts Duet 2)

Reluctantly, I climb out of bed and dig around for my phone in my jeans pocket when I see it’s my attorney. “Hey, John,” I greet him.

“Cooper, how are you?” he asks.

“Never better,” I say, glancing back at the love of my life snuggled naked under the covers in my bed.

“Glad to hear it. Listen, I have everything all set up. I just need signatures. When are you available?”

“How long are you in the office today?” I ask him, glancing at the alarm clock beside the bed.

“A few more hours at least.”

“Reese and I are in town. I had some contract stuff to sign with my agent. We could be there in say an hour?”

“Perfect. It’s good she’s with you. We can get this all done today.”

“Definitely. Thank you, John. We’ll see you soon.” I end the call and place my phone on the nightstand.

“See, I told you it might be important. Everything okay?” she asks.

“Yes. I actually have a surprise for you. It’s ready sooner than I had anticipated. We need to get ready. I need to run a few errands while we’re out.”

“Where are we going?” she asks, sitting up and letting the blanket pool around her waist. I climb onto the bed and capture a nipple between my teeth, gently nipping before sucking it into my mouth. “Coop,” she breathes.

“I can’t fucking resist you,” I tell her, letting her nipple fall from my lips and moving to the next one.

“I thought you said that we had to get ready to go somewhere.”

Damn it. “Yeah,” I say, releasing her and moving off the bed. “You go shower. I can’t go in there with you or we’re never leaving, and we have things to do.”

“Where are we going?”

“To my attorney’s office. I have some more papers to sign,” I say vaguely.

“Okay. I’ll be quick.”

“He’s just about ten minutes away, so you have time.”

I watch her as she stands and goes to her bag and grabs some clean clothes. “Everything you need should be in the bathroom. Check the closet for towels, and your favorite shampoo and body wash should be there too.”

“How? When?” She looks at me, surprised.

“I wanted to be prepared if you were to ever come stay with me.” I shrug like it’s not a big deal. To me, it isn’t. I just wanted her to feel welcome here, and maybe even fall in love with not only me but this place. However, I see the shimmer of emotion in her eyes, and I know it’s a bid deal to her. “Go.” I wave toward the bathroom. “Or I’m going to have to call him and tell him we have to reschedule,” I say, glancing down at my cock that’s already starting to grow hard for her yet again.

“I’m going.” She smiles and disappears behind the door.

Grabbing some clean clothes, I go to the bathroom down the hall and shower. I make a mental note that showering with Reese is absolutely the next item on our to-do list. After I give her this surprise. I’m not sure how she’s going to take it. I hope it’s received well.“So, what kind of papers do you need to sign?” Reese asks as we’re walking into the attorney’s office.

I was lucky Tessa called and talked to her all the way here; otherwise, I would have had to think of something on the fly. What’s luckier is that John greets us as soon as we walk through the door.

“Cooper, good to see you.” He extends his hand, and we shake.

“You too. John, this is my girlfriend, Reese Latham. Reese, John, my attorney.” They exchange handshakes and pleasantries before John leads us back to his office.

“I didn’t expect to get both signatures today, but that will move this process along nicely,” John says.

“Coop?” Reese whispers.

“Actually, John. Reese doesn’t know why we’re here. Would you mind going over the details for her?” I ask him. I know that if I try to do it, I’ll fuck it up. Not only that, I want to be able to watch her reaction as she hears what I’ve done.

If John is shocked that I haven’t told her yet, he doesn’t show it. “Of course,” he replies. He moves some papers around and then looks up at Reese. “Cooper has set forth the motion to create a nonprofit organization.”

“Cooper.” Reese turns her head to look at me. “That’s amazing.”

“There’s more,” I say, smiling at her.

“These papers are the official filing for the nonprofit status,” John explains.

“What kind of nonprofit?” she inquires.

I nod at John. “The foundation will be set to help foster children. The conditions are clearly outlined. The foundation will provide suitcases and duffle bags for the children’s personal belongings,” he begins to explain. Reese keeps her eyes on his but reaches over and squeezes my hand. “Without giving you every detail, there will be things such as transition help for those going on to college, celebrations for those who are placed and adopted. Scholarships will be awarded each year, as well as group activities for those in children’s homes. That’s the basic idea of the foundation. I have a copy of the full outline with details of the foundation for each of you.”
