“Of course, I do. What Lou did was awful, but it doesn’t change the way I feel about you. You’re my wife, and I care about you.” Blinking back her tears, she smiled and whispered, “I care about you, too.” Nora cal ed out for her mother, so Joel gave her a quick kiss. “As much as I was hoping to get intimate before she woke up, something tel s me I’l only want you more after you teased me this morning.” He got up from the bed and picked up his pants. “I teased you?” she playful y asked as she eased out of the bed, her hair fal ing in soft waves over her shoulders. He noted where her hair ended at the top of her nipples. Then his gaze fel lower to the dark patch of curls between her legs. He hadn’t gotten a good look at her last night, but now that he did, he wanted nothing more than to get her back into bed so he could make love to her. But that would have to wait. Nora was awake, and there was no way he could be in bed with April unless Nora was sound asleep. Not being able to make love to her, however, didn’t stop him from watching as she got dressed.
