Book 2: What Happens Here - Chicago (What Happens Here Series)

Chapter 51 - Savannah

Savannah closed her eyes and moaned at the feeling of her husband's strong fingers as they massaged the soreness from the soles of her feet. After she and her manager, Kelly, had closed and locked up Savannah's full-service salon earlier that evening, Mike had been waiting outside for Savannah so that he could drive her home. Mike had voiced his dislike of her working late, and with her current pregnancy, he was even more protective of her and the baby. After they'd lost their first baby due to a miscarriage, when they'd learned that she was carrying their second child, Mike had voiced his concerns about how much he wanted her to take things easy.

Moaning at the feeling of Mike's strong fingers as they moved up to gently massage the tight muscles of her calves, Savannah said, "Mm...that feels good baby. If you keep that up, I'll be asleep in a minute." Chuckling, Mike said, "If you do, I'll carry you to bed and tuck you in, so don't even worry about that." Smiling, with her eyes closed, Savannah said, "I can't.... I have plans for you tonight." Not opening her eyes, Savannah laughed when Mike's hands went still, right before his voice became deep and husky as he said, "Oh yeah? And exactly what sort of plans do you have for me Mrs. Norris?"

Finally opening her eyes, Savannah's blue gaze roamed over her very sexy, and currently, bare chested husband, as she said, "Oh...I had plans to grab that grapefruit that I bought this morning and take you into the bedroom and have some fun." When Mike's eyes widened, and a huge smile spread across his lips, Savannah pursed her lips as she gave him a coy smile as she said, "Bu-u-u-t-t-t.... if you'd prefer that I go to bed instead...." Letting her sentence drop, Savannah smiled when Mike narrowed his eyes at her, and said, "Damn tease", before he quickly stood, and bending down, he scooped Savannah into his arms, bridal style, and started for the stairs. Savannah laughed, but Mike only stopped when she said, "Mike! I need to grab the grapefruit!"

Several hours later, Savannah lay naked and sated as she listened to the slow, and deep breathing of her sleeping husband. Savannah loved the smooth dark brown skin of her husband's broad chest, and as she allowed her eyes to roam over the defined muscles of his stomach, as well as the sculpted muscles of his chest and arms, she barely suppressed the moan that came when she felt her core clench. Michael Norris was an incredibly beautiful man, and since that first day that he'd walked into her salon with his partner who had been a regular client of hers, and was getting a haircut, she'd known that he would be her husband. The way that he'd looked in his slacks, and fitted dark collared shirt had made her mouth water. Detective Norris had definitely made an impression on her with his sexy smile and his witty sense of humor that first day and she'd thought about the very handsome homicide detective constantly after he and his partner had left her salon, so when she'd learned that he'd called to schedule a haircut for himself a week later, Savannah had been over the moon.

Savannah smiled to herself as she thought back to the mess that they'd made with the grapefruit that she'd purchased earlier that day. She had introduced her husband to the "grapefruit technique", a year prior, and since doing so, grapefruit had become his favorite fruit, and after placing a gentle kiss to his hard peck, Savannah moved to roll away in an attempt to separate their bodies. But being the ever-alert law enforcement officer that he was, Mike immediately awoke and said, "Baby? Everything okay?" Smiling, Savannah shook her head, and placing a kiss to his lips, she said, "Yeah baby... I'm okay. Just going to the bathroom. Go back to sleep." His voice was groggy as he rolled to his side, and said, "Okay baby. I love you." Placing a kiss to his bare shoulder, Savannah said, "I love you too baby."

Sliding from the bed, Savannah grabbed her red kimono robe and slipped it on over her naked body. The robe had been a present from Mike for their second wedding anniversary, when they'd taken a trip to Tokyo, Japan. The trip had been amazing, and staying at the renowned Shinagawa Prince Hotel had been an incredible experience. They had spent a week sightseeing and touring the area. Savannah had thoroughly enjoyed the time they'd spent there, and based on her timetable, that trip had been where she had conceived their first child.
