and say they
had been great.
“I feel like I’ve
lost my edge. It’s gotten so hard to create. I’m afraid I’ll
lose my job.”
“We can’t have
that.” He pulled her into his arms. “Maybe I can give you some
help.”
She grinned. “I was
hoping you’d suggest that. I think your work has been suffering
too.”
He nodded, feeling his
need for her growing by the second. “Whose bed? Yours or mine? And
make it fast.”
“Mine.” She grasped
his hand, pulling him quickly to her bedroom. “Do you think Carter
will sleep a long time? I might need his daddy for an all nighter.”
“I think he might.”
The phone rang on the
nightstand. “I better answer that. It might be Mom.”
While Sydney chatted,
Blake went back to his bedroom for condoms. Knowing she hadn’t
gotten pregnant the other time was a good reason to be careful now.
After he bought them, he’d hid them under his boxers. Pulling the
chest drawer open, he thought how much Sydney meant to him. He'd
loved Caroline, but never felt this deep, burning passion for his
wife. From the moment Sydney had mistaken him for the realtor, he’d
felt something wonderful for her. Blake also grabbed the monitor so
he could hear Carter in case he woke up during the night.
He waved the package of
protection at her when he returned to her room. Sydney put her free
thumb up with the receiver still against her ear. He sighed, hoping
it wasn’t Libby on the phone. Sydney would have a hard time getting
away from her talkative friend. He’d looked forward to Sydney
removing his clothes, but heck he’d save her the time. He eyed her
cute behind while he stripped.
He was getting ready to
grab the phone from her when the conversation was finally over.
“It was Mom. She said
Dad’s fine and thanked us for going to the hospital.” She
shimmied out of her jeans. “I was naughty and told her that I
couldn’t talk because you were butt naked.” She gave him a wicked
wink.
“You better be
kidding.” He helped her out of her lacy little panties. He wrapped
his arms around her, his hands sliding down to her smooth buttocks.
Gently, he squeezed them. Once her T-shirt was off, he pressed his
body against hers. Her skin felt silky. The light fragrance she wore
was perfect to his senses—lovely, like Sydney. He lifted her onto
the bed and unhooked her lacy bra. The sight of her perky breasts
sent his heart racing. An ache spread throughout his body.
He cupped one of her
luscious breasts and sucked on it. His pulse quickened with
excitement, remembering the first time he felt her breasts against
him. She looked so adorable after falling off the treadmill into his
arms. His temperature went up a few degrees that time.
Covering her mouth, he
kissed her hard as hot currents of passion sizzled through his body.
He quivered from her warm skin touching his. There couldn't be
anything better than this; he wanted Sydney to soar with him to
greater heights.
When he stroked her
inside, her body tensed. His thumb pressed harder, wanting her to
come apart in his hands. He yearned to hear her shriek his name and
he got his wish.
In an agonized voice,
she said, “Blake, I need you. Now!”
She touched the core of
his spirit. “Oh baby, I need you too.”
He pulled his finger
out to grab a condom. He covered his erection, and in one thrust
drove into her.
“I love you,” she
said in a throaty voice.
His heart jumped at her
words. Her breath was warm and moist against his face. He whispered
into her hair, “I love you, Sydney.”
While he thrust deeper
into her, Sydney tightly wrapped her legs around his body. She
clutched him with her arms, her fingers pressing into his flesh. She
writhed beneath him as he exploded in a downpour of fiery sensation.
After coming inside
her, he exhaled a long sigh of contentment. He craved this woman and
never planned to let her out of his life. Basking in the warmth of
this moment, he kissed her tenderly. His heart would never be
