"That's the third time you've yawned. Are you going to make it back to the house, or do I need to carry you before you collapse?""Oh, right," she scoffed. "We both know why I'm so tired today." She gave me a sassy smirk that made me want to do naughty things to those pretty lips of hers.Well, yeah, you kept her up half the night fucking, what do you expect her to be? I wanted to smile at the remembrance, though. My girl never turned me down. even when I was the freakiest. I'm a lucky, lucky man for sure. But then that's not news and it hasn't been for a while now."Sorry, baby. You'll be happy to hear I enjoyed every single minute of keep- ing you awake. I reached down and gave a squeeze to her lovely bum and watched her jump."You are crazy!" she yelped, shoving me off her. "Crazy for you," I said, wrapping my arm back around her and bringing her in close to me. "We're almost there anyway. I hope Fred and the boys are home so you can meet them.""I can't wait," she said, trying to
I savored the moment of erotic heat that swirled between us--the antici pation of what was coming, because I knew I'd be devouring her with all of my senses very soon. I know that."But you're only looking at me and not touching," she whispered. come?""Oh, I will, baby. I will." I brought my mouth to her neck and inhaled the scent of her skin, the soap and the water all mixed together in a heady elixir that only got me hotter. "How badly do you want to be touched?""Very badly."I could hear the need in her tone, and it cranked me higher. There was noth- ing headier than knowing she wanted this with me. I pressed my lips to the spot just below her ear and felt a delicious shiver from her. "Here?" I asked."Yes." She arched backward slightly, causing the tips of her hard nipples to graze the skin just below my chest."Or maybe here is better?" I licked down from her neck, dragging my tongueover her delicious skin, trailing lower to meet one of those hardened nipples just begging to b
Fucking Brynne hurt so good. It always had and I knew it always would. "And what did I tell you to say to me that night, baby? It was the first time you told me." Her flashing eyes, hooded with pleasure, stabbed me hard, like my cock was stabbing into her pussy right now. "That I'm yours." she breathed."Yes. You. Are." I started adding a little circular twist to my strokes and felt her inner muscles grip tighter. "And now you're gonna come all over me. One. More. Time!"Brynne tensed hard and I felt spasms start within her depths, milking my cock for everything she could. Oh fuck yes! She shuddered beneath me and began to make those soft sounds I loved to hear out of her-the ones that made me soar. Just like that, she came utterly undone in my arms as I speared into her with hot water streaming over us both.Sent me to the outer reaches of the goddamn solar system and then some. And thank holy fuck she did come then because if I'd had to hold on a sec- ond longer. I think I would've
"Why are fish so smart?" Zara asked me.I shrugged exaggeratedly. "I have no idea why fish are so smart. Do you know why?"She nodded seriously. "Because they are always in schools."I laughed at her smug little face, smudged with strawberry ice cream, and tackling a new angle on her melting cone. "Want some, Rags?" She offered her treat to the golden retriever sitting loyally beneath the outdoor table.Rags took a couple of healthy licks with his long pink tongue and I scowled. Zara looked up at me to see what I would say, the little demon that she was. I shrugged at her. "I don't care if you want slobbery dog germs on your ice cream.Do what you want." She giggled at me and kicked her dangling legs in the chair. "Brynne talks funny.""I know. I've been telling her that for a long time, but she doesn't listen." I shook my head sadly. "Still does it." I pulled out my mobile to take some pic- tures of her and got canned poses the instant she understood what I was doing. Zara cracked me
Hannah looked down at Zara, who for all intents and purposes appeared to be listening to every word of our conversation. "Be a love and take Rags over to the grass for a roll around, okay?"Zara pondered for a moment before deciding that battling her mum was a no-win and left with Rags as requested, melting ice cream in hand.My heart rate sped up instantly and I felt fear coupled with anxiety and ex- citement all at once. "We're not talking to Freddy-wait just one goddamn minute, Hannah! What the fucking hell?! I want to know just what makes you willing to bet your magnificent house that she is." I was shouting now. "Tell me! I dragged my hand over my beard, feeling a sweat break out as I glared at my sister and waited for her to shake off her misguided attempt at a joke.Hannah looked around the courtyard area of the sweets shop and smiled pleasantly at a few of the other patrons who were now staring rudely at us. "Ease up, brother. How about we take a walk instead." She gathered he
"What could cause her pills not to work right? Brynne told me she's been on them for several years. Explain this to me," I demanded.Freddy looked at me sympathetically. "Relax, mate. It's not the end of the world. She won't be forced into anything. We live in 2012. There are options." "Oh, fuck!" The idea that she could be pregnant was enough to process at the moment, but even thinking about what Fred might be suggesting was even worse. "A termination, you mean?""Yes. She's within her rights, and it is one option. Adoption is another," he said softly.I flopped down into a chair, set my elbows on my knees and leaned my fore- head on my hands. I just sat there and breathed. As much as I was in shock, I knew that terminating the pregnancy was out of the question. Out of the fuck- ing realm of possibility. No way would I allow my child to be killed or have it hushed away. I just hoped that Brynne felt the same way I did. What if she doesn't?"Well, you two need to have a talk and then
"I love you." I woke up to those words coming from Ethan's lips. I was back on the couch, but this time I was lying down. Ithan was on his knees on the floor stroking over my head and hair with a whole lot of concern in his eyes. "You're back." Ethan closed his eyes then opened them again. He looked pretty shaken up, probably a lot like I felt. Get in line, buddy. That was an out-of-body experience I just had. I could check that one off my life list now.I remembered.And the weight of the knowledge compressed my chest until I gasped in a huge breath and struggled to sit up. Ethan kept me down and shushed me. The urge to flee was great. It was as if my subconscious knew that panicking wouldn't help a bit, but like with an addiction you do it anyway even though you know it'll only make things worse.I shook my head at him. "I'm not, Ethan. I'm not pregnant. I take my pills and I've never missed a day..."He just kept stroking my hair with one hand, resting his other on my shoul- der.H
I lost.Lurching up. I ran for the closest bathroom, my mind desperately trying to remember the floor plan of this huge labyrinth of a house. My hand over my mouth, I stumbled into the powder room just off the solarium and flung myself over the toilet. I puked my guts out until there was nothing left to come up. I wanted to run away.I'd been here for the second time in less than twenty-four hours with my girl and it sucked. Especially for her. Talking seemed like a pointless exercise, so I didn't. I just held her hair and let her go to work on expelling the contents of her stomach. I wet a cloth with cold water from the sink and handed it to her. She took it from me, pressed it over her whole face and groaned. I felt completely helpless. You did this to her and she hates you for it.Fred tapped on the open door. "House call," he said kindly."Can you give her something. Fred?"Brynne took the cloth away from her face, looking pale and about ready to cry. Fred smiled at her. "I can gi
