Nodding profusely, still looking at
him, Kayla’s bangs fell from her ponytail to her arched brows.
Sliding deeper inside her, Richmond held her penetrating gaze. Her
heated stare infused his heart as she sucked him in deeper, all the
way to his round, tingling balls.

Her heat wrapped around his stroking
rod. Fire shot through the veins of his erection, making the head
leak. Both of them fixated their gazes on the mirror, then looked
at each other.

Pounding her gently, the feel of his
scrotum slapping the slick lips of her entrance and curvy butt
pushed him over the edge. She pushed back on him, threatening to
make him spill his seed. Buried scrotum deep inside her channel,
holding on to her delicious behind, he slid from her with a
resounding pop.

Putting a hard hand to her shoulder,
he spun her around. Kayla gripped him in her fist, mashed down on
him. His jaws dropped. On the verge of exploding, he snatched his
member from her wild, jerking fist.


Oh, Richmond.” Cupping his
shoulders, she dropped hot kisses over his pectorals. Down his
abdomen. Over his hairy loins. His hard jewels.

Kay, don’t!
Glowering down at her as she pressed her knees
into the floor, he sucked in a deep breath. “Don’t do that. I’m
warning you.” Hunched over, she pressed her fingers into his
thighs, then parted her mouth to suck in his tool. As her slippery
mouth slid down his length, his body went rigid. Not wanting to
unleash inside her sweet mouth, he cupped the sides of her bobbing
head and slid out of her hot mouth. Christ! That’d been hard as
hell to do. “I’m not ready to come yet, baby.”

The musky scent of her arousal poured
from the pores of her skin. Traveled up his nose. Enticed him.
Determined to make love to her in the shower, he flung open the
door. Tugging her hand, he escorted her inside. Eating up the
desire twinkling inside her eyes, he gathered her in his arms and
stood beneath the shooting warm water.

Water drenched them as he grinded
softly against her pubic bone. Her tender eyes holding his, water
streamed over her brown, beautiful breasts pressing into his chest.
She reached up to cup his jaw. Turning his head, he kissed the
inside of her palm.

He grabbed the elastic band holding
her hair together, pulling it off.

Blinking her eyes against the
sprouting water, her straight hair turned to elegant auburn waves.
Where had this delicate woman been all his life? Rubbing the tip of
his nose against hers, he stuck out his tongue and she caught
it.

Her flesh flicked and curled with his.
Pressing her back to the wall, he placed a knee between her legs
and pried her thighs open. He jerked her off her feet. Wrapping her
sultry legs around his waist, he entered her in one single thrust.
“Seems like you got even wetter.” He gnawed her bottom lip with his
teeth, then pulled on the tender flesh.


I did.” Circling her hips,
her eyes rolled closed. “Oh, Richmond. That feels, so, good. Good,
baby.”


I’m glad you like it, Kay.
Glad I can satisfy your sexual need.” Her drenched canal felt like
velvety silk on him. Wanting to make sure Kay came first, he
stroked her soft and slow. He dropped his mouth to her swollen
breast and clenched her nipple with his teeth. Bouncing up and down
softly on him, she groaned. Curling his tongue over the hard
substance, he sucked her entire dark circle into his mouth and
feasted.

Flicking his tongue over her erected
nipple while sucking her areola, Richmond’s member throbbed. An
urgency to shoot pushed at his skin. Unable to withstand the hot
need to come, his strokes quickened. Hardened. With every hard
thrust he pushed inside her belly, she grunted.

Giving back as much as he gave, her
pelvis rocked back and forth. Her hands sailed over the top of his
wet hair. Nibbling on his lip, she twined her arms behind his neck
and sucked his tongue to the back of her throat.


Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.” Her husky
cries pounded in his ear. Curling her hips, her sex exploded on his
shaft. Shaking it. Rattling it.

The force of her orgasm
made his sperm boil inside his aching testicles, travel up his
pulsating shaft, and bubble inside the tip of his engorged head.
“Your pussy is so damn good, Kay. It’s mine, right?”
Friend, my ass.


Yes, Richmond. It’s
yours.” Husky pleasure lingered in her tone.

You better not ever address
me as your damn friend, woman.
“This pussy
is just mine, right Kay?”

Circling her hips, she moaned, “It’s
all yours, and only yours.”

Thinking about how she’d referenced
him as her friend, he’d needed to hear that. He rocked his hips
back and paused, letting the head marinate at her still throbbing
entrance. Need clawed his gut. Lust punched at his chest.
Swallowing, he felt cum fizz inside his raw head.

Shit! She moved on him. Richmond
slammed deep into her. Her body jerked on a grunt. A loud roar
grumbled from his mouth as he shot his sperm inside her.

 

 

 

 

 

RICHMOND AND KAYLA LAY IN bed with the
lights off, watching television, several hours later. Giving her a
heart-tendering stare, he draped an arm about her shoulder and drew
her to his side. When Kayla settled a hand to his chest over his
nipple, he kissed her forehead. A little chilly, she clenched the
soft linen and eased it up her legs to bunch around her
shoulders.

Tucked into Richmond’s strong embrace,
both joy and worry consumed her. He’d just made the best love to
her tonight. They’d even decorated the Christmas tree together like
one big happy family, and he’d yet to say he loved her.

Snuggled into his side,
love blossomed like a flower inside her beating heart for Richmond.
Kayla had to admit, she’d fallen madly in love with him, though she
couldn’t help but wonder if he returned the same feelings as her.
Well, more than likely he didn’t love her, because if he did, he
would’ve said it by now. Longing to hear those three words,
I love you
, her heart
ached.

What difference did it make anyways?
He’d probably never love her like he’d loved Salina. Salina had
been the love of his life, and he’d always have a special place for
her in his heart. Which he should. After all, Salina was the mother
of his daughter, Isabelle.

Although Salina had given
birth to Isabelle, Kayla had grown to love the darling little girl
as if she were her own. Isabelle loved her, too. Remembering how
Isabelle had said she wanted Santa to give her a mommy for
Christmas, joy bubbled inside Kayla’s chest.
She wants me to be her mother. Ahh, that’s so
sweet.


Kay,” Richmond said,
giving the ball of her shoulder a gentle squeeze.

Snuggling closer into him, she
writhed. “Yes.”


Are you awake?”


Yes.”


Sit up for a moment.
There’s something I want to ask you.”

Pressing a hand to his
chest, Kayla eased up in bed beside him. Seeing the serious
expression on his face, she prayed he was finally getting ready to
proclaim his undying love for her. “What is it, Richmond?”
Say it. Please tell me how much you love me. I
need to hear you say it.


I have something I want to
ask you.”


Okay. I’m listening.” Was
is possible that he was about to ask her to marry him?


We’ve been spending a lot
of time together, and we’ve known each other for quite some time
now. And well, I don’t want to be just
friends
anymore,” he said with quiet
emphasis.

Me either!
“Well, what do you want to be?”


I want you to be my
woman.”
About time!
“I want you and CJ to move in here with me.”
Whoa!
“Will you do that
for me, Kay? Nothing would please me more than to have you and CJ
here with Isabelle and me.” He caressed the pad of his thumb over
her cheek.

The answer she was about to give him
tore her apart inside. “Oh, Richmond. I’d love to move in here with
you, but I can’t.”

Frowning, Richmond’s hand left her
face to fall to his lap. His brows scrunched with disbelief. “Oh.
Why not?”


Because, I don’t think
you’re ready.”

His lips twisted wryly. “How can you
tell me what I want? I know what I want, Kay. I know I want
you.”


I never said you didn’t
want me. I said you’re not ready for CJ and me to move
in.”


What makes you say
that?”


Because this house has so
many memories, Richmond. Memories of your wife, Salina. You custom
built this home for her. You won’t even sleep inside your own
master suite. Night after night, you sleep in here, inside the
guest bedroom. As much as I love you, I refuse to live like that.”
Ooops. She’d slipped and said she loved him. Waiting to hear him
say the words back, her heart pounded against her breast bones so
hard, she thought it’d pop out of her chest and jump onto
his.

Instead of uttering he loved her back,
he settled his back against the headboard, placed his hands behind
his head, and crossed his legs at the ankles. His dark eyes shifted
from her face to the television. “The nerve of you to tell me how I
feel.”


You’re right, I shouldn’t
tell you how you feel. You tell me how you feel, then. Tell me why
you want me?”
Tell me what you like about
me. Tell me you’re madly in love me. Can’t live without me.
Desperate to hear those three words, a misty
sheen covered her eyes.


Fine. Don’t move in, then.
We can just stay friends,” he snapped.

Angry, Kayla flung back the covers and
hopped out of bed. Wagging her finger at him, he jerked his head
back. “Until you can tell me how you feel, I guess we’ll always be
just friends!” Fuming, she started for the door.

He leapt out of bed. “Where are you
going?”


Home!”


Fine. Just leave! See if I
care.”

Kayla paused in the doorway.
Infuriated, she spun. Eyes narrowing, her hands turned to fists.
She stomped her foot. “And I quit, too!”

Muscles flickered in both Richmond’s
jaws. “You can’t quit!”


Why can’t I? I just did!”
She whirled. Kayla quickly got dressed, ran upstairs and got CJ,
and the two of them went to their own freaking home.

 

 

NAILS HAMMERING INTO WOOD
REVERBERATED inside Kayla’s eardrums, causing her eyes to spring
open as she lay in her own bed in a fetal position.
Taptaptap. Taptaptap.
Trying to make out where the noise was coming from, her mind
flashed back to the argument she’d had with Richmond last night. Oh
God. Had she overreacted? If the man didn’t love her, he just
didn’t. And there wasn’t a darn thing she could do about
it.

Taptaptap.
Taptaptap.
It sounded like someone was at
her house doing yard work. For Heaven’s sake, it better not be
Jason. Lips twisting, she flung back the covers, grabbed her robe
from the closet, and marched toward the front door.

Tying the sash on her robe,
Kayla’s bare feet brushed the thick fibers of the carpet.
Coming here this early in the morning, who in the
hell does Jason think he is?
Mark her
words, she was going to let Jason know that she didn’t appreciate
him coming to her house this early in the morning. He’d done this
one too many times, and she was sick and tired of it. For him to
come here after he’d told her she better keep her mouth shut about
finding Salina’s picture in her grandfather’s closet, Jason was
bold. Arrogant, too.

Grasping the door knob, Kayla swung
open the door. Surprise rushed her. Wearing a pair of jeans and
shirtless, Richmond was on his hands and knees, hammering new
planks into the porch. He brought his dangling head from between
his shoulders and gave her a wide, handsome smile. Kayla’s heart
stirred. Chills pimpled her arms.

Richmond’s gaze traveled to the rotten
wood lying behind his feet, then back to her face. “Good morning,
Sunshine. The old boards were rotten, so I thought I’d replace them
this morning. Hope I didn’t awake you from your sleep.”
