slit, and then her magic button. Somehow he managed to grip her ass with one hand and stroke her with the other, all while thrusting into her. She looked back at him again. Sweat dripped down his naked chest. “Mia, baby. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. You’re so amazing—“
“Shhh—not now,” she said. “Just make love to me.”
He picked up the pace, with his fingers and his cock, and Mia felt the orgasm coming. She could sense it, just out of reach. Those seconds of grasping for it almost matched the climax. Almost, but not quite.
She came, her hips bucking against the pillow. Both of his hands were on her hips now, and three more hard thrusts brought her another mini-orgasm. He pulled out and came across her back with a guttural moan.
They panted together on the couch. He kissed the back of her neck and she shivered. “Mia, beauty,” he said. He jumped up and grabbed a clean white towel from the linen closet outside his bedroom. She kept her eyes closed as he gently wiped the remains of their lovemaking from her body. He threw the towel on the floor and lay down beside her. She faced the fireplace and he tucked her body into his. She felt the warmth of his cock, sleeping beside her bottom. She assumed it wouldn’t sleep for long.
Conflicting emotions swirled inside Mia. Again, she’d gone against her better judgment and fallen into this man’s arms. He hadn’t been truthful with her. He’d purposely mislead her into thinking he was a simple wandering fisherman. She understood his reasons, but could she ever trust him? Moreover, even now that she knew his identity, he’d still blown off her questions. In a way that blew her mind, but still.
Blaine breathed deeply into Mia’s hair. “What now?” he asked.
She took a moment to answer, and then she told him the truth. She hoped he’d do the same, but she had so many doubts. “I don’t know, Blaine,” she said. “I really don’t know.”
Wild Lover Book 2
Mia Tennyson jumped into her car in the public library parking lot. She’d spent the past three hours tutoring children. Math facts and phonics hopped around in her head. The last mom had been almost thirty minutes late to pick up her son. Now Mia herself was running late for lunch with Blaine Daniels.
The conundrum of Blaine ran through her head as she drove down the Interstate. The blinding South Florida sun beat its way through her sunglasses. She had a headache, but she couldn’t really blame her sore brain on fidgety kids and too much glare.
Could she forgive Blaine for basically lying to her about his identity? Portraying himself as a simple wandering charter boat captain, when he was really a retired software mogul? When she thought about it, it was better that way than reversed. Better to think Blaine to be of modest means and find out he wasn’t, than vice versa.
She admitted that she found his humility and lack of need to flash his money around appealing. She probably could have forgiven him, because when she really considered it, he’d withheld information from her, but he hadn’t actually lied. It was his continued evasiveness that truly bothered her. Now that the cat was out of the bag, you’d think he’d just tell her everything, but he continued to push off her personal questions.
She punched the entry code into the keypad on the front door of Blaine’s waterfront building. She took the elevator and entered his condo to find him sitting at the kitchen bar. He wore jeans and had bare feet.
“Do you have something against shoes?” she asked him.
He turned and smiled. His tan skin accentuated his deep blue eyes. “You’re here. I thought you’d changed your mind.”
“One of the moms was running late. She has four kids, so I can’t get too mad. That’s a lot of juggling tutors. And she pays me well.” Mia sat in the stool beside Blaine. “What’s for lunch?”
“I made paninis.” He pointed at two sandwiches on a platter beside the stove. “I
