Ranger's Baby Surprise (Special Forces Elite 2)

“This is a first.”

“You can send your team or whoever to the beach house ahead of us. Twenty-four hours and then we leave Big Bear.”

He hiked my leg to his hip and I gasped when I felt how hard his cock already was. He pressed it between my swollen folds and I moaned, wanting him again. Needing his body.

“Deal.” He took my mouth with a sudden kiss.

I pushed against him. “Did you just agree?”

He nodded, yanking me on top of him. “I did. See? Changed man.”

I straddled him, looking down in his eyes. The last bit of fear that I had clung to vanished and I decided I was going to live in the place of euphoria.

Abi smiled at me from across the kitchen island. She had made coffee and a batch of muffins.

“Are you always on that thing now?” she asked, motioning to my tablet.

“It’s the best way to stay connected to TS,” I explained.

She crossed her legs, showing the edge of her bottom. She was wearing one of my T-shirts.

Her laughter was light. “At least you still have a sense of humor.”

“I try.”

“Tell me something about it. What’s your favorite part?” She held the coffee between her palms.

“Other than the money? Hmm.” I pressed my lips together.

“I’m serious, Reid. How did you go from a security contractor to owning a billion-dollar company? That’s a huge change. There has to be something meaningful in it for you. Something that drives you.”
