Married By Mistake

at getting anywhere on time.”
    “Half an hour for what? Oh!” Casey squealed as Adam swung her up into his arms and carried her along the hallway to their bedroom. He staggered slightly and she said, “I still weigh a ton from having your baby, don’t I? Admit it.”
    “Never,” he said through gritted teeth. He deposited her on the bed, then pulled off his T-shirt and lay down beside her, propped up on one elbow. With his free hand, he began to unbutton her shirt.
    Casey felt the heat between them, so familiar yet still untamed. She tugged Adam’s head down to hers.
    “Are you sure you’re ready for this?” he said, an inch from her lips. “Because if I kiss you now, there’ll be no stopping me.”
    Thrilled at the thought, she brushed the briefest, teasing kiss across his mouth, so that he groaned when she pulled away. “The Adam Carmichael I married prided himself on always staying in control.” She ran a tantalizing hand down his bare chest.
    In a movement so swift it startled Casey, he straddled her. His strong hands pinned hers to the pillow and he covered her mouth with a kiss so hungry, so tender, so loving, that she seriously considered never leaving this bed again.
    “In that case,” he said, “I must apologize for the total loss of control you’re about to experience.”
    With a sigh of satisfaction Casey gave herself up to his demanding caress. “Apology accepted,” she murmured.
