First and Ten (28 page)

“I like watching on TV because they show
Daddy over and over.”

“Replays are pretty cool,” Dani said. “Now,
what are we going to do until Daddy gets home?”

“More football.”

Rome made it home right after DeMonte
finished his bath. He was putting on his pajamas when Rome came
through the front door. Dani smiled down at him from the top of the
staircase. “Story time, Daddy,” she said.

“You make that sound dirty.” Exhaustion faded
from his face with each step he took until he took her in his arms
and gave her the kiss she’d been missing since he’d been on
lockdown on Thursday. She didn’t know how the wives did it and
probably wouldn’t learn anytime soon. Her priority would have to be
home right now. “I missed you.”

She’d tell him about the day later. Now she
turned him toward DeMonte’s room and she headed to theirs. She
heard a howl of excitement from DeMonte and she knew she had a good
ten minutes to get ready for Rome. Letting her hair down, she
climbed into the shower. The warmth of the water washed over her
and soon she had strong arms wrapped around her. Rome swept her
hair free from her neck as he began to nibble. His firm body melded
to hers and they stood under the spray with nothing between the two
of them. Even the water flowed over, but never between.

“You sure you don’t want to elope?” Rome
asked as he nibbled on her ear.

“Sure, you break the news to my mother.”

“Never mind.” He let out a little sigh.

“Why the sudden rush?” she asked and turned
in his arms to enjoy the view as well as the feel of his hard
body.

“You’re mom’s not the only one with a clock
ticking.”

“Isn’t she now?” Dani smiled, turned off the
water and got a towel. She stepped out of the shower and slowly
toweled herself off. “In that case, Speed, if you can catch me, my
body’s yours for the night.”
