He wanted a kid with Cherry.
“Elijah?”
“I’ve got you, baby.”
Gripping her hips, he bumped inside her, hitting her cervix. She whimpered, and he pulled out of her body only to slam back inside. He fucked her hard, using his grip on her hips to pound away inside her.
Cherry pushed back against him. The cock in her ass made her pussy incredibly tight, and it wouldn’t be long until he was taking her there as well.
Fucking her harder than ever before, Elijah felt the stirrings of his orgasm start to build.
He let go of her hip to stroke her pussy. Cherry jerked back against him crying out as she came. With one last thrust he filled her pussy with his cum, grunting from the intense pleasure.
When it was over, he stayed inside her.
“You didn’t use a condom again.”
“I’m not going to use a condom.”
With his cock still inside her, he moved her so that she was cushioned against his body. He cupped one of her breasts as his other arm lay under her head. She pushed the pillows back up to the bed.
“What’s going on here, Elijah?” she asked.
He teased her nipple not wanting to think about what was going on between them.
“You’re mine, Cherry.”
“You asked me to be a companion to Mindy, and yet I get the feeling that this is about to become something more.”
Elijah didn’t want to have this talk, but it was needed.
“What do you want me to say?” he asked.
“I want you to tell me the truth.”
“Okay.” The truth he could handle. There was no point in lying to her.
“Did you ever plan to let me go?”
“Yes.”
She pulled away from him, turning all the way around to face him. He missed the heat of her pussy and wanted her to come back to him. “You’re lying.”
“I’m not lying, and I’ve killed men for less.”
“I’m not a man.”
“I’ve killed women as well.”
She raised a brow. “How are you not lying?”
“I had every intention of letting you go and to live your life. I’m paying the amount we agreed into your bank every month.”
“What changed?”
“We did.”
“How?”
“Do you really need me to go into detail?”
“I need to know why you’ve changed your mind,” she said.
“We fucked, and that changed everything.”
“It’s just sex.” Her eyes glinted with unshed tears.
“Do you really think this is just about sex right now?” He reached out to cup her face. “I’ve been fucking you without a condom. My sperm is active, baby.”
“I know.”
“You’re going to get pregnant eventually.”
“You want me to get pregnant?” she asked.
“Yes.”
“Why, Elijah? You’re not making any sense at all.” She placed her hand over his.
“Because I don’t want to let you go, Cherry. I’m not saying what I feel for you is love. I don’t know what it is. I care about you. I want you to be safe. The very thought of losing you is like a kick to the gut.”
“You care about me?”
“More than you’ll ever realize.” He stroked his thumb across her thick lips. “Don’t you feel anything for me?”
Her eyes went wide as she stared back at him.
Elijah’s heart raced for the first time in years. He’d always been so sure of himself that he didn’t know if he was prepared for what she had to say. Bethan when she was alive had always told him how much she loved him.
Pushing thoughts of his dead wife out of his minds, he watched her nod her head.
“Yes, I feel … things for you.”
He smiled. “Good. Then let’s see where this goes. Mindy knows about us, so there’s no need to hide from her. My daughter wants you to be part of our lives.”
“Are you ready for me to be part of your life?” she asked.
“Yes.” If he wasn’t ready she wouldn’t be living in his home.
“What does this mean?”
“It means all of your stuff is being moved in here tomorrow morning. I get to kiss you whenever I want, and you also come with me when I go out. I’m no longer a single agent.”
“What about your other women?” she asked. “What happens with them?”
“They are gone. I promise. They’re already gone. I’ve not been with any of them since you.” Mindy was going to be so happy.
“You’re not doing this for your daughter?”
“No. I’m doing this because I want to.” It was the truth.
He picked up a curl of her blonde hair. They would make beautiful babies together. He thought about Caleb and Henry. Both men had settled down even within their life. For fifteen years he’d kept Mindy safe, and he could do it for Cherry.
