Lost Love (Cowboys and Angels #1)(78)

“Does he hear us?”

I’d never in my life experienced this feeling before. A love so pure and real it would forever own my heart. “I know he hears us.”

When she pulled back, I opened my eyes to see Steed standing behind Chloe. The way he stared at me made my chest squeeze, and my heart take a dive straight to my stomach. I prayed I hadn’t said anything I shouldn’t have, but I wanted to be honest with Chloe. Dropping to his knees, Steed wrapped us both in his arms and slid his hand behind my neck. Pulling me closer, he kissed my lips.

“I love you both.”

Chloe giggled. “Kiss me, Daddy! Kiss me!”

Jumping up, Steed picked up Chloe and kissed her with a quick peck on the mouth then kissed her cheek.

“Give me some of that loving!” Mitchell said as he took Chloe and started flying her around like a plane. She laughed and cried out as Mitchell traded her off to Trevor.

I smiled as I watched three of the Parker brothers totally get lost in the love of one little girl. And oh how easy it was to get lost in Chloe’s love.





Chloe and I snuggled up to Steed as we watched Brother Bear. The temperature had dropped some so we had two quilts pulled over us. I was munching on popcorn and so was Steed.

When Chloe found out she was part of Steed’s special day with me I thought she was going to burst from happiness. She got to pick out the movies, and so far we had watched Frozen, to which Steed knew the words to every song. I wasn’t sure if I was impressed or turned on. No. I knew I was for sure turned on.

And now Brother Bear was playing. I couldn’t believe how engrossed I was in the movie. Steed bumped my arm, and I nodded, not wanting to miss anything.

“Pax, Chloe’s asleep.”

Pulling my eyes from the movie, I saw that Chloe was snuggled up into the side of Steed.

Lucky little thing.

I smiled. “I’m so completely jealous of her right now it’s unreal.”

He grinned. “You could stay the night, you know.”

I let my smile fade some. “I don’t want Chloe to know I’m staying the night.”

“You could sneak out before morning and go into the guest bedroom.”

My teeth dug into my lip as I thought about it. “Is that why you had me pack a bag?”

He nodded.

Bouncing my eyes back and forth from Chloe to Steed, I muttered, “I don’t know.”

Steed jutted his lip out to pout. “Please? Spend the night with me. I want to sleep with you in my arms.”

Focusing on Chloe, I took a deep breath. “Okay, but we have to be careful. I don’t want her knowing I’m sleeping with her dad. It might be weird for her.”

With a nod, Steed grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me in for a quick peck on the lips. “Come on. Let’s head back to my place.”

“What about all of this?” I asked as I stood and Steed carefully picked up Chloe without waking her.

“Trevor will get it. Trust me, he got paid hefty for helping me with all of this. Besides, he’s working at the bar tonight. If I know Trevor, he’ll bring a girl back here and fuck her.”

I snarled. “Nice.”

Steed chuckled and shrugged the best he could while carrying Chloe to his truck. “Just keeping it real.”

“Uh-huh. Well, I was perfectly fine not knowing that bit of information.”

After slipping Chloe into the back seat, Steed quietly shut the door and grabbed me. His hands were all over me. In my hair, caressing my breasts and finally under my shirt. “God it’s been so fucking hard to keep my hands off you. I want to bury myself inside of you and stay there all night.”

My chest heaved as I fought to get air. His words sent heat immediately to my throbbing center. No matter how many times we were together, the need for more was always there.

“I think that sounds like a plan,” I breathed back.

After Steed had put Chloe to bed, he grabbed my hand and dragged me downstairs to the master bedroom. We shed our clothes like it had been weeks since we were together. The desire was thick in the room, and I wondered how long sex with Steed would be like this. Would we ever get tired of each other? Would the need to have him inside me lessen over time?

His lips were all over me. My mouth, neck, nipples, stomach, inside of my thigh. I dug my fingers into his hair and pulled him close to the pulsing ache between my legs.

“Ohmygawd…Steed. I want you.”

And before I knew it, Steed’s mouth was over my hot center, and I was covering my mouth to bury my cries of passion.

A sweet darkness swept over me as I floated on a cloud of utter bliss. I barely felt him moving over me. The sound of a condom ripping open brought me back down to earth. I was still reeling from my orgasm when Steed pushed inside of me. His slow lovemaking from earlier was gone. He was desperate for me, and I loved every second of it.
