Captive(54)

“It … might,” I said, trying to imagine it. Cool air against my stomach made me gasp. Ryke was pulling the jersey I wore up over my head, and I raised my arms to help him. He tossed it to the floor and looked me over, his eyes dark and hungry.

“I’ll fuck you hard,” he said, tracing a thumb over my lips. “From behind if that’s how you want it. I’ll come wherever you want me to. But then we’re moving on to my fantasy.”

I swallowed, hot desire for him pooling between my thighs. He took a step back and moved his hands to his sides. His gaze roamed my body slowly and deliberately. Stopping at my breasts, moving down my stomach, stopping again at my silky black panties. Then it travelled down my legs to my feet.

My chest rose and fell heavily. Being caressed by his eyes was more sensual than being touched by his hands. He reached out and gently splayed his palm against my belly.

“I love you so much, Kate,” he said, his voice deep and husky. “I never even knew it was possible to feel like this. I’d do anything – anything – for you and our baby.”

My desire receded a little at the mention of the thing I was trying not to think about. He slowly moved his hand higher, stopping between my breasts.

“I know I let you down,” I said softly. “I pushed you away. I’m sorry. I love you the same way, Ryke. You’re my everything, and I’d do anything for you.”

His eyes lit up and he moved his hand higher again, his long fingers wrapping around the back of my neck while he stroked his thumb across my jaw line.

“Will you try, then? Please? For me?” The pleading in his tone wrenched at my heart. I knew what he meant. He wanted me to try to love this baby inside me; to hope for it in spite of my previous heartbreak. And I didn’t even have to think before answering, though it was the most difficult thing anyone had ever asked of me.

“Yes. I’ll try.”

His smile of relief melted me. When he stepped closer, the fire of desire was back in his eyes. He bent down and flicked his tongue over one of my nipples, his hand sliding down my back and beneath the waistband of my panties.

He reached for my wet nipple, squeezing it between his thumb and forefinger. My eyes fluttered closed as he increased the pressure, euphoria flooding me. He lowered his mouth to the other one, licking it gently and then closing his teeth around it.

My mouth fell open, a beat of silence followed by a cry of ecstasy. “Ryke! I think I’m about to come…”

He released my nipples and wrapped a hand around his bulging erection. “Jesus, baby, I’ve neglected you if just that’s enough.”

“No,” I said, the word coming out in a pant. “It’s my hormones. I’m so horny, all the time.”

“I plan to spend all afternoon taking care of that. And you’d better fucking tell me every time you want it from now on. Satisfying you is my job, and I take my work very seriously.”

I pushed my hips up onto the kitchen island. “Right here,” I said. “Take me right here.”

He moved between my legs and picked me up. “In the bedroom, baby. And all in good time. I’m enjoying this too much to let it end yet.”

It wasn’t just Kate’s intense arousal I was enjoying, although it was about the hottest thing I’d ever seen. It was finally feeling completely connected to her again. The past month had stretched our tie to each other, testing its bonds.

Now I wanted to remind her that I knew her body like no one else ever would. That I craved her as much as she did me. I lowered her feet to the floor of our bedroom and bent to push down her panties. She stepped out of them and was about to toss them to the ground when I took them from her. Crumpling the soft fabric into my fist, I pressed it to my face and inhaled the scent I’d missed like hell.

“I’m taking these on my next road trip,” I said. She squirmed and backed toward the bed, turning to climb into it.

“Stay right there,” I said. She froze and looked over her shoulder, one knee up on the mattress. God, she was beautiful. Perfect. Her long blonde hair fell down her back and I swept it aside so I could see the creamy skin of her back. I traced a fingertip down her spine and she arched her back in response.

I made it all the way down to the swell of her tight, round ass and kept going. When I got to the one hole I’d never been in, I put a little pressure on it and she gasped. I didn’t press my finger in, just made her wonder if I would. When she pressed her hips back against me, my cock turned into a steel rod. She wanted me there, and fuck if I didn’t want it, too.

I grazed her shoulder with my teeth, kissing the spot after, and then did the same to her neck. Her body quivered with arousal and I gripped her hips tightly, pulling her body back against mine. I caught her sweet coconut scent just as she moaned softly.
