Billionaire Bachelors 7 ; The Billionaire's Final Stand(64)

He shook as wave after wave of pleasure washed over him, pumping his release inside her. He was shaking from the intense chills radiating throughout his body.

As the last of his release died down, his legs gave out. He slid down the wall with her still gripped tightly in his arms, and landed on his butt, her cradling his still full staff.

The small bounce as they sat had him groaning as she gripped him. There was no way he could go again, but his body hadn't quite figured that out yet.

"You make me crazy," he murmured as he moved his lips to her damp neck and sucked on the delicate skin, enjoying her taste. He slid his hand up the curve of her back, and danced his fingers along her rib cage, until he took the weight of her breast in his hand, his thumb skimming over her nipple.

"I can't … " she pleaded with him.

Austin chuckled as he moved his mouth to kiss the corner of her lips, then her cheek. He vowed to kiss every single inch of her skin, to taste every delectable curve.

He was almost in a stupor as he held her, completely sated. He realized in those moments that he was falling in love with her. He thought love was a myth  –  unattainable. Even though he'd seen it happen with his siblings, he never thought it would happen for him.

No woman had captivated him, no woman until Kinsey.

Just as he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, trying to find the energy to move, he stiffened. His entire body grew taught as he thought over their love-making moments earlier, and then again a week ago. 

He hadn't used protection. He always used it, without fail. Never had a woman had him lose his sanity to the point he forgot to protect both her and him.

"Kinsey, are you on the pill?" he asked, praying the answer was yes.

She'd been lax in his arms until he spoke those six words. Then, her entire body stiffened as if she too were realizing for the first time how stupid they'd been.

"I …  uh …  there's been no reason," she finally managed to say, her head lifting as she looked into his eyes.

He was sure his expression matched her own dismayed one. His contentment evaporated as he thought about what the consequences could be. Sure, he was falling in love with her, but that didn't mean he was ready for the whole, white-picket-fence-two-point-five-kids thing.

"I'm sorry, Kinsey. I'm the one who should've paid attention  –  should have protected you," he said, ashamed of himself.

His father had taught him and his brothers to never compromise a woman. He'd told them they should be happily married before kids were ever mentioned. Then he'd watched as a few of his family members had completely ignored his father's advice. He'd vowed it wouldn't happen to him.

He was probably overreacting. How likely was it that she could get pregnant when they'd only had sex twice with nothing? Couple's spent years trying without success. He gulped as he thought of his cousins. Hell, it seemed his family had supersonic swimmers, because it didn't take much for all of his nieces and nephews to pop up.

"It takes two, Austin. I should've been making sure you were using a condom, too. You aren't going to play the martyr and take all the blame," Kinsey snapped, seeming to come out of her shock.

She pushed against him, and even though Austin was scared, he still felt the stirring of his body as she squirmed on his lap.

"Let me go," she demanded when he didn't loosen his grip. He quickly dropped his arms and she jumped up, gathering her clothes and slipping them on. It took Austin a minute to get moving, but finally he stood on shaking legs and followed suit.

"I didn't mean anything, Kinsey. I'm just saying I've been taught better. I should've never thought about putting you in this position."

Even when he was trying to be a good guy, she had to snap. He was beginning to get irritated about it. He tried to reason with himself that they were both stressed, but he wasn't in the best frame of mind to keep his cool.

"So, in other words, I haven't been taught correctly. I'm just a female, after all. I don't think of things like pregnancy or disease. I just expect the big strong man to take care of me," she said with sarcasm. Austin felt his last thread of temper snapping.

"What is your problem? We're fighting over something that probably isn't even an issue. The next time we have sex, I'll make sure to put on two condoms," he barked as he pulled his shirt over his head.

"Next time? Are you flipping kidding me? You really think there's going to be a next time? Not even if my life depended on it."

"Oh, there's going to be a next time, Kinsey. And a time after that, and after that. We're not nearly done with each other," he warned.

She stood gaping at him as if he'd lost his mind. He may have, in fact, lost it. He didn't even know any more. He couldn't seem to think around her, well, not with the right brain, at least. He knew he couldn't stand being away from her. He certainly wasn't ready to end their romance, or whatever it was they had going on.
