Waking the Beast(56)

He surged quickly to his feet, scooping her up in his arms and carrying her to the bed. He sat and held her while she cried. His hands stroked up and down her back while she snuggled against his chest and let all the fear and grief of a lifetime finally pour out of her.

“I love you, Abby,” he told her over and over, as he held her.#p#分页标题#e#

“Don’t leave me again,” she begged. “Do you hear me?” She pulled back and thumped him on the chest with her fist, then thumped his lion tattoo as well for good measure. “Both of you work out what you need to. Just don’t do this to me again. I need you. Both of you. I love you. Both of you. And I have a feeling this baby is going to need both of you as well.”

“I’ll figure it out,” Tah promised.

“Good,” Abby said as she wiggled in his lap. “Now make love to me. I’ve missed you.”

His smile was pure carnal invitation as he moved, easing her to her back on the bed and coming over her. Her thighs shifted apart to make room for him. He bent to kiss her as his cock slid through her slick folds and bumped against her clit.

She gripped his shoulders, her nails sinking into his flesh as he robbed her of breath.

“You’re body was made for mine,” Tah whispered as he kissed along her jaw toward her ear.

“Yes.” She agreed, as she lifted her hips to rub against him. She wanted his cock inside her, buried deep.

“How did I ever make it without you?” he asked as his cock finally lodged at her opening. “This,” he said as he thrust deep with one firm stroke, burying his shaft fully inside her. “You are my heaven, my deliverance.”

He took the words she tried to say from her lips with another searing kiss as he rode between her thighs. It was slow and easy, evidence that the burning need, which had so recently consumed them, was tempered. This was just a man and a woman making love.

“I love you.” She sighed against his neck as each stroke took her closer toward orgasm.

“You are my heart, my soul,” he whispered. “I am nothing without you.”

“You are everything,” she countered. “To me, you are everything.”

He glided in and out of her pussy, each stroke of his cock completing her in ways she’d never imagined. Once he had been a dream, a vision more animal than man. Then he had been a man, flesh and blood, daring her to toss her dream aside and see only him. Now he was Tah, her man, mate, and lover. And he loved her. Inside her was the very real result of their love, a child, their child.

Part of her was terrified. They weren’t even sure of the changes taking place in him, much less how those changes were affecting her as well. She hadn’t even had a chance to discuss how she had changed with Jess. Jess most likely assumed Abby was finally wearing the contacts Jess tried to convince her to try. But now there was a baby, a tiny life who would depend on them to know what was happening.

She pictured a little boy who looked just like Tah. She wanted her baby, and she would do whatever she needed to in order to protect him. Her gaze met Tah’s. And to protect his father.

“I love you,” she cried as the pleasure crashed through her and sent her flying. “Tah.”

“I’m here, baby. I’m here,” he crooned, holding her close as his thrusts came harder and faster. “I love you, Abby. I love you.”

She felt his release filling her as he came with a loud purr. Though his tongue licked over the mark she’d always wear on her skin, his teeth didn’t sink in this time. Perhaps that was something that would only occur during times of ovulation as well. Who knew? His cock hadn’t reached the girth of before either. She could feel the raised protrusions, but they were smaller, gentler, than the ones that had locked him inside her last time.

Conception seemed to be easing the intense sexual pull between them. The need was there like he said, but it wasn’t an endless ache inside her that only seemed to ease when he took her, when his seed filled her. Perhaps now, they would be able to think more clearly, to find the answers they needed. Perhaps now, Tah could focus on himself.#p#分页标题#e#

Maybe with the promise of new life, Tah would finally understand the importance of claiming the other part of himself.

He eased from her pussy and shifted down so his head hovered over her belly. She felt the brush of his lips then his cheek against her flesh.

“I love you, little one. I’m your daddy. I promise you I’ll always be here to love and protect you and your mommy.” He lifted his head and Abby felt her breath catch as she met his gaze. Not brown. Not yellow. A beautiful amber shade that was a perfect mixture of both. “I promise you, Abby. I’ll take care of you, both of you.”
