for her panties, she stopped him, looking at him earnestly.
 Do you think it was fate? she whispered, her big, teal-colored eyes
trained on him.
He shrugged.  I don t know. I don t care. I m just glad I found you.
She put her hands on his, and she slowly guided him under her skirt. He
worked her panties off in record time and she started to unbutton his shirt.
But he was faster than she was. Before Maia was done with his shirt he had
unfastened his pants and pushed them down with his boxers.
With hot hungry hands he hauled her to him, pulling her legs open
roughly and stepping between them. He took a fistful of her hair and used it
to tug her gently toward him before taking her lips in a hard kiss designed to
scramble her senses. Instead, it served to sharpen his own hunger.
He reached between Maia s legs to stroke her until she was wet enough to
take him. As soon as she was ready, he grabbed her hips and pulled her
toward him. He plunged his cock into her a little roughly, and she cried out
 but not in pain.
Pushed hard by his hunger, he stroked into her harder than he ever had
before. She moaned in response, opening her legs a little wider to give him
better access. The heat between them rose quickly, burning hotter and faster
with each stroke.
Maia put her mouth against the hollow of his neck, kissing and sucking
like mad. Feverishly, she tasted his sweat, not noticing that she was
scratching him, marking his skin as they rocked together.
A few more thrusts, and Maia tightened like a bowstring around him, her
nails digging in hard as she climaxed with a loud moan. She held him tight
until eventually her body went lax around him.
He kissed her again, her hands passing over the little crescents she had
made on his sides. Calen ignored the scratches as he gathered her closer,
wrapping his hands around her hot little ass cheeks as he held her against
him.
 Wrap your legs around me, nymph, he ordered.
Maia was weak, but she immediately complied. He lifted her clear off the
desk, spinning around until her back met the bookcase behind them. She
was so petite, it was easy to hold her against him as he ground into her,
intentionally rocking their bodies against the prized volumes of his
collection.
He lifted Maia, holding her helplessly against him as he worked her up and
down his cock.
 Calen, she whispered plaintively, her hand moving over his heart.
Did she believe in them now?
 You feel so good baby, so hot and soft, he murmured as he pinned her to
the bookcase, fucking her hard and fast.
Maia responded by clenching her inner muscles tight around him.
 Shit, he breathed, shoving against her as he worked a hand higher
against her ass.
He probed her little rosette with his hand, teasing and pushing. She tensed
against him, and he soothed her with an inarticulate sound as he pushed
past the tight ring of muscle. The dual stimulation proved to be too much.
Maia clamped down on him, holding his cock tightly.
 Come with me, Calen, she gasped.
It was more than enough to send him over the edge. He gripped her
bottom hard, pumping into her twice more before his cock jerked and he
exploded. His hot seed spilled inside her as she milked him through each
excruciating pulse.
 Shit! he swore as the last spasms racked his body.
With the last of his strength, he turned back around and deposited Maia
lightly onto the desk s mahogany surface. Out of breath, she collapsed on it.
He dropped down into his desk chair and pulled it closer to her.
He rested his head on Maia s stomach and reached out to cover her racing
heart with his hand.
They stayed like that for a long time. He turned to look at her, pleased to
see he wasn t the only one having trouble catching their breath. He ran his
fingers up and down her chest, tracing her collarbone.
 I love you, Maia.
Maia sucked in a breath and tried to sit up, but he stopped her, holding
her down with his hand.
 Are you sure? she asked him worriedly.
He laughed.  Yes, I m sure.
 I  she began, but he cut her off by covering her mouth.
 No, he said decisively.  Not yet. Not till you re sure.
Maia made a muffled  I m sure sound, but he shook his head.
 I need you to be certain. One hundred percent and then some, he said
seriously.
If she said she loved him right now, it might be because he d prompted her
or she felt obligated to say it back.
Maia responded by biting him. He snatched his hand away, trying not to
laugh.  I I hope we made a baby, she said.
He stroked her hair and looked into her amazing blue-green eyes for a long
time.
It might not have been  I love you , but it was pretty damn close.
 Me too, he said, picking her up and carrying her to their bed.
Chapter 26
The weeks that followed were the happiest of Maia s life. Calen had told her
he loved her, and she knew she loved him, too. She had been afraid to admit
it to herself before, but his confession had broken down the protective walls
inside her heart.
Those walls had been there a long time, ever since her mother had died. It
wasn t only shyness that kept her from becoming close to others. She knew
that now. Protecting herself from feeling that kind of loss again had become
second nature. Her fear had held her back from making connections, friends,
and more.
She wanted to tell Calen how she felt about him. It felt cowardly, keeping
silent. The words were there, on the tip of her tongue, but every time she
tried to get them out, she was swamped with uncertainty and panic.
I ll just have to wait for the perfect moment, she decided. The words
would come easily then. And maybe, if she was lucky, she would be able to
tell him she was pregnant at the same time. That possibility was looking
more likely every day.
Her period was over a week late. Calen had been out of town to check on
his west coast clubs, so he hadn t been around to notice. But she had always
been regular before, and she was anxious to confirm her self-diagnosis.
However, getting an appointment with her gynecologist before the
Thanksgiving holiday proved impossible.
Maia contemplated going to the drugstore for a pregnancy test, but she [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
