body astride him and smiled. He watched in a daze, while she pressed the head of his cock to her entrance and took her seat. Bracing her palms against his chest, Mika moaned, tossed her head back and rode him.
Chapter Ten
“Did you want me to postpone your meetings for the week?”
Degan watched Mika walk into Mingy’s while he spoke to his persona assistant on the phone. “No—just my Monday and Tuesday appointments. I need a few more days.”
It was Saturday and he’d spent the past few days with Mika. They were the happiest days he’d ever spent with a woman and it confirmed to him that he was right to search after her. He didn’t think he could make it with another woman. Marrying Marrisa would have been a disaster because he would have been thinking of Mika the whole time. A woman deserves all of a man not just half. Sighing, he finished his conversation with his P.A. and snapped the cell phone shut. Shoving it into his pocket, he took a look into the backseat of the car and smiled. Mika’s suitcase lay there, telling him it wasn’t a dream—Mika was moving with him to New York.
By the time he turned again to look at Mingy’s, he noticed a couple of old women pressing their noses to the glass and staring at him. He figured they were wondering who was driving the luxury car and why Mika was in it. He grinned when he saw her walking out again. He started the engine and when she climbed in, he reached across and kissed her. He couldn’t help himself.
“Ready?” Degan questioned.
Her flashed happily at him as she waved a white envelop at him. “Ready!”
“What’s in that?”
“My final pay check. It means I’ll have some money in my hands once we hit New York along with the little savings I’ve managed to put away.”
Degan made a face. “Mika…”
“I know, I know. But I like having my own,” she replied. Leaning over, she pressed a chaste kiss to his cheek. “Thank you for being so considerate, but sometimes even if a woman is in love with a man she needs her own, you know?”
“I know.” Degan stared at her for a little longer. Groaning, he kissed her—sucking her lower lip into his mouth and running his tongue over it. He meant to pull back, but deepened the kiss instead. When he finally pulled back, all he wanted to do was drive them somewhere private. “You know, there is no such thing as just a kiss from you.”
“Touché.”
“Come on, we have to get back to Braison. Even though the plane can’t leave without us, they will ground it if we’re late.”
“I know you said there’s no such thing as a simple kiss with us, but I’m going to risk it anyway.”
He allowed her to lace her fingers into his hair, pulled him to her gently and kissed him. It was a beautiful thing giving the woman he loved control over his pleasure.
They were finally on their way. The ride back to Braison was silent. At one point, Mika reached over and took his hand. That simple touch sent Degan’s heart hammering inside his chest. Making the turn into the parking lot for the airport, he found a parking spot and turned the ignition off. He caught her arm when she turned to exit the car. “Wait a minute.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I want to say something to you and you can’t freak out.”
“All right.”
Degan took a deep breath. “I love you—Mika, I love you.”
The smile that seeped over her face surprised him. He thought for sure she’d freak out and run. She hadn’t said the three words to him yet.
“It’s all good, Degan because I don’t know how it happened, but I love you too,” she whispered.
“Mika you don’t have to…”
She cradled his face. “Shh…I know this may seem a little fast. I get it. But oh my Lord do you understand what you do to me? Degan you’ve loved me since high school, you’ve loved me since before I understood what love was. In the past few days you’ve proven over and over how you feel about me. I’ve always dreamed of
