Remy soon followed, his cock twitching and pulsing inside her as he held her close. She opened her eyes to find a satisfied smile on his lips.
Bella Donna kept her legs secured around his waist, wanting him inside and around her for as long as possible. Wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead, she leaned up and kissed him gently. Wow. What a man.
“I can officially say that’s the best sex I’ve ever had, combined with the best orgasm I’ve ever had.”
He chuckled, the sound ringing in her ears. “In case my trembling muscles didn’t give it away, it was the same for me.”
The overwhelming feeling of home filled her. Never before had she been so comfortable with someone. When he moved to dispose of the condom, she felt empty and cold. He returned with the satisfied expression still on his face and lay on the bed, scooping her into his arms.
She snuggled into his chest, resting her head where she could hear his heartbeat, and linked her legs with his. She’d officially fallen for a man she’d known mere hours.
***
Remy woke to an empty bed. Stretching his weary muscles, he noticed some food on the nightstand. And a note:
I wasn’t sure what you wanted for breakfast, so I got a bit of everything.
Love, BD
P.S. I’m outside enjoying snow for the first time. Come join me when you wake up.
With a grin, he sat properly and looked at the food. She really had gotten a bit of everything. There was tofu scramble, imitation bacon, cereal, toast, a bagel, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. All still hot. She hadn’t left long ago.
He quickly showered and dressed, grabbing bites of food while he prepared to brave the Alaskan December. He was probably far too eager to see Bella Donna, but he didn’t care. The woman had stolen his heart last night and he ached to be with her.
Making his way through the lobby, he passed a few other seemingly happy couples and smiled to himself. Assuming Bella Donna felt the same way, he’d be one of them now. When he found her outside near the ice skating rink, caught her eye, and saw her light up, he knew she did.
With her wavy blonde hair pulled back into a high ponytail and cheeks pink from the cold, he saw her as a true picture of natural beauty. He vowed never to forget this week.
“What do you think?” she asked, bouncing toward him, a beaming smile on her face.
He followed her gaze and saw a small, lopsided snowman standing at the end of a row of others. “You made a snowman?”
She nodded eagerly and brushed her snow-covered gloves against her pants. “This is the first time I’ve ever seen snow. I had to be a cliché and make one. I also made a snow angel.” Her musical giggle echoed in his ears.
“You’re too beautiful.” He scooped her into his arms and gave her a quick kiss. “Are there any other clichés you’d like to partake in today?”
She pursed her lips thoughtfully and looked past him. “Actually, I would like to make love by the fireplace.” Clasping her hands over her heart, she forced a sigh and batted her lashes.
He chuckled and kissed her again. “We can do that whenever you want.”
“I want to do it now.”
That caught him by surprise. Although he was standing to attention as soon as he saw her, he’d been sure she’d want to do some skiing or ice skating before they retired to the room for another round of lovemaking. “Really? Now?”
She pressed her body against his and grasped his crotch with a gloved hand. “I’ve made a snowman and a snow angel. I’ve had my fill of snow. Now I want to have my fill of you.”
“Far be it from me to deny a beautiful woman.”
She grinned and nipped his lower lip. “Let’s go.”
Chapter Five
Bella Donna lay on the floor cushioned with a thick quilt and propped herself up on her elbows facing Remy. Still slightly puffed from their last round of lovemaking, she enjoyed the pinkish hue exertion brought to his tanned skin. He lay on his back with his arms crossed behind his head, his half-lidded eyes filled with adoration.
“So, why did a guy like you have to contact a dating agency?” She traced small circles around his stomach with a fingertip.
“A guy like me?” He raised a brow.
“You know, suave, sophisticated, successful, and hot.”
“Stop it, you’re going to make me blush.” She hit him lightly and scoffed at his words. “Honestly, I went to my sister’s wedding a few months ago and something changed for me. I used to play the field, doing what every guy does while they’re single, and I guess I got sick of it. But I had no idea how to go about meeting a nice woman to settle down with, especially an Aussie. My sister found her husband through 1Night Stand and told me to give it a go.” He rolled onto his side and propped himself up on an elbow. “And I’m glad I did. Because now I have you.”
A blush heated her cheeks and butterflies flitted in her stomach. She was very happy she’d contacted the agency as well. If she hadn’t, she never would have met a man who came even close to being as special as Remy.
“What about you?” He ran his fingers through her hair slowly. “How come some guy hasn’t snapped you up?”
“I think I’m a douche magnet.” She smiled when he laughed at her honesty. “Seriously, I dated so many jerks. The last blind date I had took me to a movie and expected me to have sex with him. In the theater.”
She rolled her eyes at the memory of the moron her friend set her up with. But when she looked at Remy, all her frustration melted away.
“But I’m happy I dated all those duds. If it wasn’t for them, I’d have never contacted Madame Eve.”
“Remind me to thank them for driving you to such lengths,” he murmured and pulled her on top of him.
While working another condom onto his rigid cock, Bella Donna giggled and then squirmed until the head of his hard erection poised at her entrance. Leaning over, she licked his bottom lip and gazed into his eyes. “You ready for round two, stud?”
Remy pushed his hips up, holding hers still and thrust inside her. At the intrusion, a shudder tore throughout her body.
“Oh, fuck me,” she panted.
With a devilish grin, Remy sat up, leaning back on one arm, keeping the other firmly around her hips. “Okay.”
He pulled out and thrust inside her again. It only took a few movements of his thick cock pushing its way in and out of her slick pussy for Bella Donna to become overwhelmed with pleasure.
Resting her forehead on his, she let out a sob and begged him to take her over the edge. When he pressed his thumb against her clit, she lost control.
Her muscles spasmed out of control as her orgasm took her onto a plain of bliss she never thought she’d experience. Holding him close, she clung to Remy like a lifeline that anchored her to the conscious world. Every muscle tingled, her core ached, and her head spun. She’d never been so happy in her life.
“Oh. My. God.” She managed through her labored breaths. “I never thought I’d experience anything like that.”
Remy placed a few soft kisses around Bella Donna’s face before placing one on her lips. “You just needed the right man to take you there, honey.”
***
Resuming his movements inside her, Remy’s muscles tightened. Seeing Bella Donna orgasm was enough to get him off. He’d never imagined he’d find such a beautiful creature to fall for. With half-lidded eyes, she rode him, keeping perfect time with his ministrations. Her inner walls clenched around him, holding him like a tight fist.
With a groan, he shifted his position slightly, completely buried inside her when he thrust up. Bella Donna’s lids closed and her breaths became whimpers.
Oh fuck—he was gone. Holding her still, he pounded into her, waiting until he couldn’t hold off his climax any longer to rub her clit.
Remy followed Bella Donna on the ride to bliss, spilling his seed as every muscle in his body lit with completion. His breaths came out shaky and he dropped back, a sated, boneless pile of flesh.
Collapsing on the floor, he pulled her with him, holding her against his chest. He could stay like this forever.
“I love you, honey,” he whispered into her hair.
She looked up at him, a brilliant smile on her face as she whispered in reply, “I love you, too.”
Sealing his admission with a kiss, Remy beamed, happy to know he’d be spending the rest of his days with this beautiful woman.
Epilogue
Bella Donna paced her living room, unable to sit still because of the excitement building inside her. Remy had called her when he landed. He’d be at her house any moment now. She still couldn’t believe he was moving back to Melbourne.
It had been a month since their stay in Alaska. She had managed to get time away from the animal shelter to spend a week with him in Orlando, but she hadn’t seen him since. Two weeks. Two whole weeks of phone calls and web chats. She wanted to touch him, wrap her arms around his broad shoulders, and hold him tight.
Sebastian watched her with amusement as she continued to walk back and forth. “You need to sit down—you’re making me tired watching you.”
She shot him a frown but stopped pacing. “I can’t help it. I’ve never been this excited about anything before.”
“I still can’t believe he’s moving here for you. You’ve only spent two weeks together.”
“It’s true what they say. When you meet the one, you know.” She crossed her arms and bounced on the balls of her feet, unable to keep completely still. “When you meet him, you’ll understand. We were made for each other.”
The doorbell rang and her breath caught in her throat.
She wanted to jump around like a lovesick teenager. She’d never been in love before. Not truly. Remy had told her the house he owned and had been renting to his sister had been vacant in the months since her wedding. He’d transferred to the Australian base of the company he worked for, broken the lease on his Orlando home, and did it all as though his extraordinary actions were an everyday occurrence.
She flashed a happy grin at Sebastian, who waved at her. “Go get your boyfriend. Bring him in when the love fest is over.” He added a wink before she left.
With a spring in her step, Bella Donna opened her front door. Remy wore a big smile on his face and carried a bouquet of Gerberas.
“You’re here.” She threw her arms around his shoulders.
Pulling away, she looked down at the flowers she’d nearly crushed and felt a blush creep up her chest and cheeks. Nobody had ever given her flowers.
“Bella Donna.” He said her name like it was the most beautiful thing in the world, as he held the flowers out to her. “I’ve missed you, honey.”
Tears burned her eyes as she embraced him again, burying her face in his neck. “I missed you, too.” She stepped back and wiped her cheeks quickly. “You’re really sure about moving back?”
He gestured to the car sitting in her driveway—there were at least three suitcases. “Nothing could keep me away.” He kissed her softly. “I’d move heaven and earth to be with you.”
“I don’t know what I did to deserve you,” Bella Donna said.
“There’s one condition on me moving back to Melbourne, though.”
Her grin disappeared and she could have sworn her heart stopped beating.
Remy pulled something from his pocket and dangled it in front of her face. A set of keys. “Move in with me.”
“Really?” she choked out, as another wave of emotion hit her.
“I don’t want to live another day without you by my side. I want to wake up to see your face each morning and go to sleep with you in my arms each night.”
New tears spilled from her eyes and she launched herself into his arms, almost knocking him over. “I love you so much,” she whispered into his ear.
“Should I take that as a yes?”
She leaned back in his embrace, looking at him. “Of course that’s a yes, you idiot.”
Remy’s eyes crinkled as he laughed and kissed her quickly. “I love you, honey.”
Giddy and blissfully happy, Bella Donna embraced him once more. She couldn’t believe how lucky she’d been to find him. And she couldn’t wait to spend the rest of their lives together.
