If only he knew. She was glad it was too dark to see her blush.
She saw the need and the desire on his face. She let out a breath and relaxed. Why shouldn’t she enjoy this? This was all he could give her, desire, so she might as well enjoy it. She reached up and caressed his shoulders.
“I am so desperate to feel my cock sliding into that wet pussy, baby.” His voice was rumbly and she felt more moisture leak out. He removed her panties and his boxers. “If you don’t want me, now is the time to let me know.”
His tip was poised at her opening. “Are you crazy? I always want you, Adam.”
He slipped into her an inch at a time. He groaned. “I love how you clamp down on me. What an amazing feeling.”
She was too heated up to reply. She had her eyes closed and was concentrating on how good he felt inside of her. He started thrusting back and forth and she wrapped her legs around his hips. She heard his rough growls and knew his control was gone, just like hers. She shivered with delight at the fast speed he was going. She lost all ability to talk or think. All she could do was feel. Feel how hard and thick his cock was inside of her. How fast he drove into her as if he couldn’t get enough. She liked that thought, so she was going with it. Tomorrow they could go back to awkwardness and regret, she was enjoying the now.
She dug her nails in his back and heard him mutter yes. She placed kisses on his chin and over to his shoulder as he kept up the rhythm of pumping in and out of her. He kept the fast pace for minutes. Her stomach muscles tightened with need.
Her body tingled from head to toe until she screamed out his name and let her orgasm wash over her. He kept going for a few more minutes. His answering roar accompanied his seed spilling inside of her.
It took several minutes for her breathing to slow down. Adam had moved off of her but kept her in his arms.
She waited for him to move and leave her, but he stayed still. His body was relaxed and not tense at all like the last two times.
“This is the part where you remind me not to get my hopes up. You had your one true love and you lost her,” she whispered in the dark. She blinked back some tears.
His hold tightened on her. “I was wrong, Faith. I did love Josie, but it wasn’t that I couldn’t love again. It was that I was scared of the heartache and pain if something happened to you. I was too scared to take another chance. Please tell me it’s not too late for us.”
Faith sighed. “You love the baby now that you are getting used to the idea of being a father. I am so glad about
that, Adam. You don’t love me. You just had a scare, that’s all. It will fade in time.”
Adam stayed quiet for a minute. He leaned over her and she could barely see his face in the shadows. He caressed her cheeks and leaned down to tenderly place a kiss on her lips. “In time you will believe me. I’m counting on that.”
Faith didn’t reply to his statement. He was confusing her. She closed her eyes and went back to sleep. Why was love so hard and confusing?
Chapter 15
“Women are confusing as hell,” Adam muttered, wielding the axe down on the log of wood. He was helping Noah cut some branches off of a tree in Noah’s backyard. Spring was finally here. The sun was warm and he was glad for the physical labor. He needed to take out his frustrations on something.
“I take it you are talking about Faith?” Noah said in amusement.
Adam didn’t see anything funny in the way things were between him and Faith. She had stayed with him a few days before finding a small two-bedroom house within walking distance to the coffee shop. Holly had opted to stay on with her friend from school. After the night they shared, Faith was friendly but she built a wall between them as if she was scared to get to close to him. He understood, but it was still frustrating as hell. He thought he was making progress, then she would pull back and avoid spending any time with him.
They talked easily with no arguments. He had even bought her some maternity clothes that Alana had helped him pick out for Christmas. She had cried and hugged him, admitting she never received gifts except from Holly. He had vowed to himself to shower her with gifts from now on. She had gone to Austin with Holly to spend Christmas Day with her mother. Her mother had no idea Faith was expecting. He had wanted to tag along, but he gave her the space she needed and kept quiet.
“Yes. I knew it was going to be hard to get her to believe I love her, but I guess I did a good job of convincing her I’d never get over Josie. She says she doesn’t want to be second best to a memory.”
Noah frowned. “Damn, that’s rough. You’ve been going with her to her doctor appointments?”
Adam nodded. “Yes. We talk about the baby easily, but she still thinks I don’t love her. I am at my wits end on how to convince her that I was just being a stubborn ass before.”
Noah picked up a branch and threw it in the metal bin. “We Blakes sure know how to mess up things with our ladies. Dad would just shake his head and ask if we learned nothing from him.”
Adam chuckled. “Every time he argued with Mom, the roses and candies would start being delivered.”
“Then they would disappear for days,” Noah finished. “Mom always came back so happy. Don’t give up, Adam. I know what you’re feeling and it’s frustrating as hell. I was tempted to just pick up Alana and take her somewhere for days until we could work things out. Luckily she gave in before it got to that point.”
Adam grinned wildly. An idea popped into his head and he felt excitement bubble up in his gut. “That’s it. Great idea, Noah.”
“Huh?” His brother looked confused.
“I will kidnap her and prove to her that I love her and not just the baby.” Adam grinned with excitement. He knew a great cabin outside of town that was private. He rented it before just to get away by himself. It was his private haven. What a better way to prove to Faith that he was for real than to share his special place with her?
