CHAPTER 26
He knew how things were going because he talked to his friend every night. But he wanted to hear it from her.
“We are,” Paxton replied. “I said nothing because it wasn’t important.”
“Oh… It wasn’t my intention to make it sound like an accusation or something.”
Paxton shook his head letting her know it was okay, he wasn’t mad.
“Anyway, thank you so much for asking Anthony to take a look at the restaurant. He’s made me see all sorts of things I never saw before. And all the changes… the way he talked to my staff… Your friend is an amazing person and a great chef.”
“I’m glad it’s working out.”
He was, but at the same time, Paxton envied her easy friendship with his be

Even before the doors of the elevator trapped her inside that tiny box with Paxton, her heart was drumming madly in her throat. Then the cage jerked, throwing her against his strong body. She let out a shriek before they shot upward. Her heart spiked to rocket speed, and her wide eyes lifted pleadingly to his. “Oh, God…” she whispered. “I will never feel comfortable… or at safe… in your elevator…” He put his lips softly against her ear. “Don’t be so afraid, darlin’. You know you are perfectly safe in ‘my’ elevator… Besides, I’m on a committee that oversees maintenance issues. And, this stuffy building, as you call it many times, is state of the art.” His deep voice was a comforting rumble. “If you say so,” she mumbled, while her heart was still beating extremely fast. “I’m fine… I’m fine… I’m perfectly fine…” Rhiannon took a deep breath and kept repeating her little mantra. “I’m fine… I’m fine… I’m…” “Let’s make sure, why don’t we?” When

“Darlin’…” The sweet sound in his voice brought her back to that bedroom. Soon she will find herself deliciously pinned beneath his massive body. Soon she will feel his naked, warm skin against hers. Soon he will fill her and make her scream his name. So, Rhiannon didn’t want to think about all the negatives anymore. Dimly, she remembered her plan to pack and leave his penthouse, to get herself as far away from him as possible. But she was much too weak to follow such a wise course that might protect her heart from a man who wanted to break it once again. So, Rhiannon smiled up at him and kissed him on the lips.“Tonight, I’m yours…” she whispered against his lips.“Rhiannon…” he replied, trying to make Rhiannon change her mind.“Tonight, Pax… Tonight, I’m here… for you. Just for you. Willing to do everything you want. Extremely willing.” Tomorrow, and all the dreary tomorrows after that one, would be soon enough to deny herself. Tonig

“Don’t leave, Rhiannon,” Paxton said, touching her forehead with his lips. “This isn’t what you really want and you know it. Just stay here, with me… I hate what you did to my brother, but I just can’t watch you walk out that door, walk away from me, knowing you will never come back here. Dammit, I don’t know why, or what you did to me, but I need you. I can’t breathe when you’re not here.” He held Rhiannon tight while whispering the words as sweetly as possible, as gently as possible. Paxton said them to Rhiannon while she was asleep, knowing that, for now, it was the only way she would listen to him without thinking of packing and leaving the penthouse.“Pax… Sweetheart…” she murmured slowly, nuzzling her cheek against his chest. Those words as they left her lips filled him with pleasure and a deep sadness. They were the same words she said to him that night… after they had sex for the first time. Even that night she called him “sweetheart” while he mistreated he

“Chocolate pudding? Really?” Paxton asked perplexed. “At 2:00 am you’re craving for chocolate pudding?” Rhiannon nodded.“Peanut wants this…” she replied and pointed at her womb. “And only this.”“Okay… Well, let me call the doorman…”“No need to disturb that poor man. He already hates my gut. There’s a box of Jell-O in the kitchen,” she added and a big, shiny smile appeared on her lips. “All you need is 5 minutes and…”“I know how to make instant chocolate pudding, thank you very much,” Paxton countered, giving her a falsely offended expression.“I never claimed you couldn’t,” she said, smiling innocently.“But you were thinking it, you, little minx.” His expression made her laugh. He seemed a little boy, not the passionate man who just made her cum so many times. He had these two different sides, a sweet, caring one and a hard, tough one, always in conflict, always fighting against each other for supremacy.“I’ll be right back,” Paxton said and got up from the be

Swirling her tongue at the base of his beautiful cock, she licked at its sides as if it were a melting ice cream cone. Then she finally traced the edge of his head with the point of her tongue, rubbing her tongue hard against the spot facing her where head met length.“So yummy…” Rhiannon said feeling his body hardening, all his muscles tensing. She rested her closed lips over the tip and parted them slightly to taste the first drop of his desire. She pressed downward, letting the force of her descent open her lips around him, his engorged head filling her mouth and forcing her tongue down. Rhiannon kept her lips carefully over her teeth and took him until he hit the back of her mouth. She greedily sucked and pulled off him, licked and sucked some more, then wrapped her hand around his shaft and move it up and down in synch with her mouth. Paxton’s breathing grew louder and more ragged. He lifted his hands beside her head and she knew he wanted to grasp he

“What are you doing here?” he demanded so harshly he froze her heart.“Well… I cleaned the room, the bed, and took a shower, but… well… I couldn’t sleep,” Rhiannon murmured, seeking to soothe him rather than frighten or anger him. “And you… You left so abruptly… I was too worried... about you.”“Worried? Right…” He sounded edgy, dubious, angry. Was he afraid? Of her? No, that couldn’t be. Not when his black eyes were so hard. It was she who felt terrified that he would reject her or be cruel. Like it happened already.“Paxton, I was wondering… H

She arrived at the church ten minutes before Kieran’s memorial service started. The place was packed with Kieran’s friends, most absent at the funeral, but Rhiannon managed to find an empty seat. Luckily, it was as far away as possible from all the Ridgways… especially from Paxton. She wasn’t really a part of that family so, it was even more necessary to sit a few rows back, on the other side of the church. Just as she’d expected, Paxton stood away from her, also. They seemed like two perfect strangers. Not even that sad moment could bring them together. She remembered how close she had felt him during the funeral. How attentive he had been, holding her, soothing her. That day, they seemed a real… family, comforting each other. That’s why, seeing him

“No thanks necessary. Now, give me a big hug, ‘cariño’.” Mrs. Ramirez opened her arms, and Rhiannon stepped into them.“I’m sorry I wasn’t present at Santi’s funeral…” she said slowly.“Oh, but you were. In spirit. I can see how much you care about our Santi. It has been tough, for our family. But somehow, we got through. Mr. Ridgway helped us so much. You see, my sister wanted her boy back home, so, since we’re not a rich family, Mr. Ridgway paid for all the traveling expenses and the funeral.” A bit embarrassed for being called up, Paxton gave Santiago’s aunt a shy smile.“My sister wanted me to thank you again. We will pray every day for Kieran like we pray for Santi,” Sonia Ramirez said.“Thank
