Blackmailed into the Billionaire's Bed(27)

Mac took hold of her tiny hands, which repeatedly wiped a combination of tears and raindrops from her eyes, and pulled her upright. “Look at me, Kendall.”

Even if she had stolen his money for purely selfish reasons, which he now very much doubted, he couldn’t hate her for it. In fact, hate was an emotion a million miles away from what he felt for Kendall right now. Her frightened eyes were focused intently on him, and whatever the rights or wrongs of her actions, he knew he was falling for her.

He gently cupped her beautiful face in his hands. “Kendall,” he whispered. “Shhh, shhh, don’t cry, honey. Everything will turn out just fine.”

“I’m so sorry I can’t tell you. Please don’t be angry with me. Just hold me.”

How could he refuse? The way she spoke so submissively appealed to him immensely. Feeling their bond becoming closer with every passing second, Mac immediately wrapped his arms around her like a protective blanket, shielding her from the demons that pursued her. Demons he would destroy as soon he discovered their identity and intent. “Nothing’s gonna harm you, honey. Not while I’m around. Rely on it.”

Her arms were wrapped so tightly around him that he realized just how much pent-up anxiety she held within her tiny feminine frame, and as he rested his chin on the top of her rain-soaked head, he felt her snuggle even closer as though desperate for his comfort and warmth.

Her womanly scent mingling with the rain was a joy, and he breathed deeply, taking it in, feeling more sexually aroused with each lungful he inhaled. All thoughts of sleep were long gone, and his hard-on, shielded only by his boxer shorts, pressed insistently against her belly, the warmth of which permeated her flimsy negligee.

When she lifted her head from his chest and stared into his eyes, he instantly knew she felt and enjoyed the presence of his erection, because standing on tiptoe, she took his head in her hands and kissed him passionately on the lips. At this precise moment in time, with the rain becoming heavier and the thunder and lightning growing in intensity, the wedge between them in the form of the million bucks magically evaporated into thin air. Right now, she needed him as much as he needed her, the money being irrelevant.

Mac circled her tiny waist before sliding his hands under her pert little ass. As he lifted her from the ground, she instinctively wrapped her legs around him. He responded, feverishly kissing her swan-like neck and throat before moving to her perfect chin and lips. Christ he wanted her. He’d enjoyed many women in his thirty-eight years on this earth, but he’d never, in all his life, wanted a woman as much as he wanted Kendall right now.

She tasted wonderful, and he couldn’t get enough of her. He kissed her lips passionately again before forcing his tongue deep into her mouth. She responded, her tongue tangling with his, not because he forced her against her will, but because she wanted to. That thought alone made him realize that their relationship was subtly changing and evolving.

Soulful, expressive blue eyes stared up at him. “No more questions, Mac, please. Just love me like I know you want to.”

She could melt icebergs with charm like that. “Oh, honey, you got it.” Yeah, he was falling for her big time.

When he’d first seen her standing in the rain, Kendall had aroused him to such an extent that he’d intended to take this beautiful woman to his bed and then fuck her senseless between the fresh, cotton sheets. However, the incessant rain, along with the constant thunder and lightning arcing across the sky, only added to this perfect moment, so he’d take her right here, right now, with the full force of the elements battering their bodies. Sex outdoors had always been a big turn-on for him, and with a woman like Kendall, he knew the experience would be simply awesome.

With her silky legs wrapped tightly around him, her flimsy negligee now lay pooled at her waist, allowing him an uninterrupted view of her perfect feminine slit. Totally smooth and achingly beautiful, it beckoned him, luring him helplessly in.

“Woman, you are soooo fucking sexy.” He emphasized the word, lengthening it, so that she couldn’t fail to understand how much he wanted her.

With a knowing smile gracing her elegant features, Kendall wiped the rain from his face, which flowed down his cheeks before dripping off his chin. It was a lovely gesture, one of genuine affection. However, such was the power of Mother Nature, the water she swept away was immediately replaced as the deluge continued to hammer down from the heavens above. “You’re sexy, too, Mac.” She lowered those arresting eyes of hers and stared directly at his cock, which pushed impatiently against the inside of his boxer shorts. “That’s sexy, too, and I want it deep inside me.” Her china blues flicked upward again, and he knew they shared the same wavelength when she whispered in his ear, “Make love to me. I want you to. I need you to.”
