Ivorie's Surprise [Golden Dolphin] (Siren Publishing Classic)
Page 20
* * * *
As Drew quickly plunged into her aching center, he grasped her hands above her head and began the strong, sure strokes he knew she loved. She arched her back to bring him deeper, and he picked up the tempo, stroking her heated flesh as she whimpered and begged him for more, harder, faster. He angled his cock toward her magic G-spot and pushed her over the edge into a shattering climax. His balls pulled up, and he shot his seed into her core. It had been quick but powerful. He smiled to himself. No more damn condoms!
As their breaths came back to normal, he looked deeply into her eyes. “You’re mine, Ivorie. Don’t ever forget it. We have a lifetime to play, love, fight, make up, and do it all over again.”
Epilogue
Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City, July 6, 2014, Early Morning
Drew looked with awe at the squalling, sticky baby boy who had just wriggled out into the doctor’s waiting hands. Andrew Michael Blessingame III had entered the world with a vengeance. After a quick going-over, Dr. Solomon handed him off to the nurse who waited by his side to take the new infant to be cleaned, weighed, and tagged. Jamie Devereau had sent them a miniature, navy-blue bracelet with a GPS chip for the first baby conceived aboard the Golden Dolphin. Little did he know it was going right on the bun’s tiny wrist. Ivorie usually still wore hers, much to Drew’s private relief. He had never fully gotten over the incident on the Amazon.
He smiled at Ivorie, who despite being sweat-drenched and exhausted after four hours of labor, looked beautiful to him. Her hair had been pulled back in a French braid to get it out of the way, and she wore the always very fashionable, wrinkled pink hospital gown, open in the front for easy access.
“I understand from Jenni that a ‘push’ present is in order for an occasion such as this one.” He held out a black jeweler’s box. He waited for her to open it. Her eyes lit up when she saw the carved-black-Tahitian-pearl bracelet with diamond spacers that matched the necklace Drew had given her on the cruise.
“Oh, baby, it’s beautiful,” she gushed as she clasped it on.
“Not as beautiful as you.”
He thought she had never looked lovelier, except the day of their wedding aboard the Golden Dolphin in New York Harbor. Ivorie had worn a deceptively simple gown and veil trimmed with the intricate lace she had purchased in the Amazon, and she had looked stunning. She had carried a huge bouquet of daisies, tiger lilies, Black-Eyed Susans, and other assorted wildflowers. The guests were their families and friends, including Jamie and Anne Devereau, Max Warwick and Anamaria Sanchez, the Turners, Ms. Martha Winthrop, who beamed the whole time, and Donnie Hawley, who was the maid of honor. Immediately after the ceremony, they and their guests sailed off for a quick trip to Bermuda.
The ship was full to capacity, and a rocking good time was had by all, although a special key card was needed to access the dungeon and theme rooms. The crew was delighted that one of the couples from their first official cruise had come back to tie the knot.

Ivorie smiled a beaming mother’s first smile into the red, angry face of her new son. “Looks like he takes after his father already.” She grinned up at Drew.
“Now, babe, that’s not fair. I’ve been especially good lately, particularly in the office! You know how hard I try.”
“That’s true. You’ve been a real prince. Come and hold your son for a minute before I try this nursing thing. It looks like he’s going to be an early riser like his dad.”
He grinned as he awkwardly held the little bundle wrapped in a blue blanket, wearing a funny knit cap and a navy-blue rubber bracelet. The infant’s face was all scrunched up, and it looked like he was about to let out a mighty wail. Drew’s heart clutched. It felt like it was about to beat out of his chest, and then he felt a flood of love run through him. “Hi, Mikey. Welcome to the world.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I was born in New Jersey and grew up an only child on a small farm in the “Garden State.” My father grew acres and acres of flowers for commercial florists and various produce such as tomatoes. My high school years were spent at Wayne Hills High School, where I was not one of the popular, preppy kids or one of the hoods—which kind of left me in limbo as I wasn’t one of the brainiacs either. Weekends were spent going into “the City” and Greenwich Village with my friends and doing a lot of things I probably shouldn’t have—don’t tell my grandkids!
After attending Katharine Gibbs School in Montclair, New Jersey, I began a career as a legal secretary and then a paralegal. I moved to Florida and currently live in Davie, Florida with my dog, Snickerdoodles. I was married for eight years but have been single for many years. My major addiction is jewelry, but any kind of shopping will do for a fix!
After my longtime job as a paralegal was ended by the economic downturn, I decided to turn lemons into lemonade and finally write the stories I’d had in my head for many years. I had always wanted to write romance novels, but my family and job kept me too busy.
My major interest aside from my family and friends is horses. I enjoy putting an animal character into my stories if possible. I am extremely “low-tech” and probably should have been born in the 1800s as I enjoy driving a horse and buggy for fun. I also enjoy horseback riding, but the ground has gotten harder and further away over the years.
I have a small farm and vacation home in Ocala, Florida, which is my favorite place in the world. There’s nothing as wonderful as swinging in the hammock in the shade and listening to the music of the wind in the pines while cuddled under a quilt reading a good book.
Books have always been my escape into love and adventure, and through reading, I have been able to be many people, do many things, and go to many wonderful places I wouldn’t have otherwise been able to be, do, or see.
I hope that all hardworking women who have a moment to put up their tired feet and relax with a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) enjoy getting to meet my fantasy friends and to experience something new and different with a touch of hot romance thrown in for good measure!
