I smiled at him. “Well, I’m so sorry anyway.”
Kian was amazing, when he came and picked me up, he had a small little stuffed animal for Lily who had been so excited, she had grabbed it and babbled to everyone showing them the little dog. Gabby had begun the interrogation, which lasted for about fifteen minutes before I was able to get him out the door. He took me to a small little Italian place not far from my store.
When we had walked in, I saw that most everyone knew Kian, which was nice. They seated us directly and proceeded to bring a bottle of wine and some appetizers without us ordering, when I asked, Kian had said with a grin that the firehouse usually ordered from the place when it was his turn to cook.
Which lead us into a conversation about how things went at the firehouse. Growing up, I saw first-hand with my dad what he did, but I also knew that all crews were different. So I completely enjoyed listening to Kian as he talked about his job. The spark in his eye told me everything I needed to know. When the conversation turned to me, I had shared everything he wanted to know, Kian was easy to talk to, and to be honest, I thought it was sexy for a man to be interested in Lily and my shop. He was truly interested to, not just making small talk.
“Honey,” Kian said again quietly and he gripped my hand firmer as if he wanted to draw my full attention. “My family is crazy, they have always been crazy, and they will continue to be crazy. Trust me when I say, there is not one damn thing that is gonna make me turn away from this. Me and my brothers always said if we found someone who actually fit into the crazy that is our family, we were going to have to marry her because trying to find a normal woman, was not going to work for us.”
I felt my eyes widen, this was the first date, why were we talking about forever when we were on the first date? Shit, I had a bad enough time finding something to wear for the first date, I couldn’t imagine anything else right now.
We continued to eat, skirting the subject of the future, which was freaking me out. Kian asked about Lily’s father, which I explained in depth about the situation, including the fact that even prior to discovering I was pregnant, I had already figured out that the spark was just not there.
“I’m sorry for Lily to lose her father,” Kian said softly and I nodded. “Did he have any family?”
I shook my head and said, “No that is the sad part, I have a few pictures of him from when we were together, but not a lot. Lily will only know her father from the few pictures I have.”
We continued to eat and chat, and when the meal was done, and we were sitting there just chatting, I wondered what was going to happen next. The sexual attraction between us was off the charts, and to be honest, if he said he was taking me back to his place, I would have cheered and followed him anywhere. However, apparently, Kian had a better head on his shoulders than I did.
“As much as this kills me to say, honey, I think it is time I get you home to your parents,” Kian said reluctantly and took my hand again and I felt the heat in his touch.
“Okay?” I said hesitantly and Kian grinned and shook his head.
“I love that you don’t want this evening to end, but I’m going to do this right, you deserve it. So, I’m gonna take you home, steal a kiss or two on the steps of your parents’ house, go to my home, and take a cold ass shower. Then tomorrow I’m calling you, we are setting up another date, this time we are gonna plan for an overnight so no one disturbs us at all.” Kian smiled.
I opened and shut my mouth and I finally said, “Okay.”
Then he did what he said, and damn but the kisses we amazing, and when I finally shut the door after the date and was leaning against it, the urge to squeal like a school girl was overwhelming. So the hell with it, I did!
Chapter Eight
Kian
“Excuse me?” I said to my sister who had showed up at my house this morning.
“You heard me, I have no fucking idea what you were thinking, but now Mom and her friends have already called Ana this morning. They asked for her to do one of those ‘Slumber’ like parties. They told her I would be the host, and I was going to come in today and get everything set up for it. They have me sucked into their web of darkness. I have no idea how to get out,” Fiona snapped and I was grinning.
“Let me get this straight,” I said with a chuckle. “Mom and her friends want to have a sex toy and clothing party with you as the hostess at Ana’s store? I need a brain bleach.”
Fiona glared at me and said, “So not cool. How in the hell am I supposed to have a party like that with Mom there? Hell, I already have scars from the night when we dropped by to surprise them for their anniversary, catching them on the couch was like so disturbing I think I have PTSD from it. There is no way in fuck I am sitting in a room with Ma and Aunt Milana and all their friends while they discuss the newest vibrator.”
I grimaced and then shook my head. “Nope, not listening, lalalalalalala.”
“Fuck you, if I need to live this nightmare, you are too,” Fiona said and I shook my head and plugged my ears. Fi glared at me and I stuck out my tongue and she jumped. I turned and laughed right when she landed on my back.
Fi was a force to be reckoned with in the police force, hell, half the guys were scared of her because she could kick their ass, it was hilarious to see the newbies in training try to take her on. She always laid them flat. But regardless, I didn’t care she was my sister and a girl. So I reached around, wrapped my arm around her waist, and flipped her around.
“No!” she screamed because she knew what I was going to do. “You bastard, do not even fucking think about it!”
I smiled and used my other hand to grab the back of her pants, and give her the biggest wedgie I could while she screamed and laughed. “We done with this?”
“Fuck no,” Fi snapped and then began to tickle me. Shit, she knew all of our weaknesses, I almost dropped her as she laughed loudly and yelled, “NEVER SURRENDER!”
“Hey, what is going on?” Brodie and the rest of my brothers were standing in the doorway. Fiona laughed when I dropped her to the ground and she got to her feet and picked her ass with a grin and brought them up to speed. By the end of it, there were four grown men standing in the kitchen of my house acting like three year olds.
“No!” Brodie snapped and pointed a finger at me. “You fix this, I don’t care how you do it, but you need to fix this.”
I looked at him in horror and said, “How am I gonna do that? Call Mom and say, hey, do not plan a sex party at my woman’s business because it is gonna give me nightmares. You know what she will say.”
Sully nodded solemnly and said, “This is all your fault, you guys going to that wedding in New York. What the fuck, we trusted you were going to make sure Mom wasn’t going to get any ideas. That is why we chose you.”
I rolled my eyes and shook my head. “When in the hell have I ever had control of what our mother does?”
Fiona snapped, “You guys are all missing the point, right now, they are planning all of our demise. They want us married.”
“Um, no,” Brodie snapped and then glared at me and said, “This is all your fault, you find a chick with a kid and suddenly Mom is all about getting us paired off.”
“Oh hell to the no,” I growled. “Not my fault, it is our aunts and cousins, they are the ones who got everyone riled up!”
“Whatever, we just need to fucking get this sorted before I have to pay a million dollars in therapy and lose my badge,” Fiona said and I shrugged.
“Hey, what the hell am I supposed to do?” I asked.
“Call Ana, tell her not to let them book this party, and then we can figure it out from there,” Fiona said and I sighed and nodded.
“I will try.”
“There is no try, there is only do, this is a crisis, we are in battle, we need to make sure everything is right there,” Brodie said and I rolled my eyes, when Brodie found a female, she was gonna have to be a ballbuster, because he was a little too uptight.
I called A
na and when I heard her voice over the phone I swear to God my cock got fucking hard. “Hey,” she said softly into the phone and I smiled.
“Hey, honey,” I said softly and then continued, “how did you sleep?”
She giggled and said, “Not bad, I had some pretty interesting dreams.”
“Oh yeah, well you can tell me about those later. Have you checked out when we can have our next date?” I asked and she sighed.
“Yep, when is your next day off?” she asked.
“Saturday,” I responded and she chuckled.
“Then Saturday it is.”
Sweet Lord, only two more days of cold showers. I could handle that, I mentally began to run down the stuff I would need to cook a dinner and everything that would come after that. Condoms, the stuff to make chicken parmesan, condoms, a bottle of nice red wine, condoms, some candles to set the mood, condoms, oh and maybe some dessert but most definitely CONDOMS!
“Oh yeah, before I let you go, my mom is gonna call and ask to have some party.”
“Yep, she already did. I have it down for the following Friday, Fi and fifteen women are coming,” Ana said and I groaned and put my head in my hand.
“Damn her,” I muttered and Ana laughed.
“What?”
“Fi is gonna kill me, she didn’t want the party, my mom and aunt do,” I said.
“Well,” Ana chuckled. “I hate to tell you, but she already has people coming.”
“Great, Fi is gonna be pissed,” I said with a smile. “But she will have to deal.”
“So, Saturday,” she said softly. “What, uh, should I wear?”
“Honey, you can wear whatever you want, it will not matter, we are going to have dinner at my house.”
We spent the next fifteen minutes talking about nothing and finally I hung up the phone. There was a knock at my door and I frowned, I wasn’t due in for another hour, no one should be knocking.
When I opened the door and saw Richie standing there my frown deepened. “What are you doing here?” I asked and Richie sighed.
“I was hoping that we could ride together today to the inspection sites. My car is acting up and I was hoping to drop it off at the mechanics. Is that okay?” the woman said and I nodded slowly.
“Sure,” I said. “Let me grab my keys. We can leave now.”
“Cool, I can wait,” Richie said and stepped into my house as I turned. “Hey, nice place you have here! It is older right? Just redone a little.”
“Yeah, I love these old places, they have a lot of character,” I said absently and walked into the kitchen where my keys were sitting on the counter.
“How long have you lived here? I mean, I’m just curious, my lease is up, and I would kill to have one of these places,” she said and I chuckled.
“Come on,” I said with a grin. “I will tell you all about it on the car ride.”
Chapter Nine
Ana
He was too perfect, that was all there was to say about that. I was standing in his house, which surprisingly I loved. It wasn’t the normal bachelor pad; it was nicely decorated in dark masculine colors but I loved it. We had finished dinner, which was completely amazing and now I had no clue what to do. Damn, I had been out of the dating scene too long, so the awkward silence when we finished cleaning up the table was hanging like an albatross in the air.
Kian had begun seducing me when he picked me up, and damned if I didn’t revel in his attention. A small touch here, or a kiss on my neck when he was setting the food out. All of it was driving me batty and I wanted to scream, ‘For the love of God, fuck me!’ but I refrained. My body was in complete tune of where he was at all times. It was like a beacon to me. Plus, the way he looked at me, oh my God, I was pretty sure my panties were soaked. In his eyes I saw the promise of what was to come, and damned if I wasn’t excited about it, I just didn’t know how to show it, shit, I was suck a dork!
“So,” Kian said, folding the towel he used to clean up the dishes while I watched.
I smiled at him nervously and raised an eyebrow and said, “Yes?”
“Why don’t we grab our glasses of wine and go sit down in the living room and find a movie?” he said smoothly and I took a deep breath and nodded.
Right in the middle of dinner I had realized that we had known each other for months, and that entire time I had been wanting to be in this exact spot and yet now that I was here, I had no freaking clue how to proceed.
“Sure,” I said and grabbed my glass and walked into the living room. I sat down on the couch and when he slid down next to me, close, I sighed and leaned back. His touch seemed to calm my butterflies, maybe it was just the electric awareness I was feeling now that we were close once again.
Kian grabbed the remote and flicked on the television at the same time he flung his free arm around me. I just leaned in and allowed him to pull me where he wanted to. I was happy just sitting next to him.
“Well, we have a chick flick, suspense, or comedy?” Kian said and looked down at me, his eyes turned a darker shade and I sucked in a breath. He was gorgeous, was I really going to do this with this man, the answer was simple, hell yeah I was. Knowing who he was as a man, made him all the more desirable. “Or none of the above?” he finished, then looked at my lips when I ran my tongue on the seam.
“None of the above?” I whispered and Kian smiled.
“Thank God, my dick is so hard right now, it is beginning to feel uncomfortable.”
I grinned. “We can’t have that now can we?”
“No,” his said. “Most definitely not.”
He leaned in and kissed me softly at first, and I instantly put my arms around him. It was heaven and when he pulled back slightly, the burning look in his eyes made me almost come right there, he was intense, and damned if that wasn’t sexy as hell.
Suddenly I was swept up in his arms and we were moving to the master bedroom he had shown me earlier, well okay then, this was working out nicely, I thought and hung on as he kicked the door closed and then set me on my feet at the bottom of his bed.
I watched as he whipped his shirt over his head and I sucked in a breath, yeah, no one could be more perfect, he had six pack abs, or was it an eight pack, who cared. All I wanted to do was run my tongue over his abs and follow the ‘V’, which was very distinct.
Kian stepped forward and my head jerked up. There was a light in his eyes that I hadn’t seen before, a spark of need and yeah, I liked that as well. Slowly he pulled my shirt up over my head and threw it on the floor next to his. He stared at my breasts and I swear, I almost heard him lick his lips.
He pushed me back gently onto the bed and I fell and he followed, covering me with his body, yes, I loved the feel of him on me. His hand slid up my chest and he curved his hand under my breast and ran his thumb over my already hard nipple, damn. Kian leaned forward and sucked my nipple into his mouth through the lacy bra I was still wearing and the friction almost drove me wild. Now was my chance to explore though.
Moving my hands, I touched his hot body and ran them over his shoulders and down his back, loving the feel of his smooth skin. No other man I had been with actually liked me exploring, I think they all thought it was a waste of time, because it was usually wham bam thank you ma’am. I could honestly say Kian was taking his time, savoring me, and no other man had ever done that. So yeah, right about now, I was declaring him a freak of nature in my mind, and I vowed I was not gonna fuck this up.
My back arched as he reached under me to unhook my bra, and then it was gone. Kian pushed impatiently at my pants as he turned to the side and kicked off his as well, leaving us both finally naked. Shit, I thought as I looked down at his body, he was huge, and then he covered me and got back to what he was doing, which took all rational thought out of my head.
His face got close to mine so his eyes were all I could see and he whispered against my lips, “Honey, you are perfect.” I closed my eyes, we were perfect for each other.
I reached up and ran
my fingers through his light brown hair and brought him the last inch to my lips. Then he took over, and devoured me, that was the only word I could use to describe his demanding and thoroughly amazing kiss, which left me breathless. It was as if he couldn’t get enough, our tongues dueled and he ran a hand down my ribs, and my belly, until I felt his finger slide through my folds. Oh God, I liked that. I liked that a lot. He was gentle but not hesitant, his finger slid all the way until he was in me. Then he released my mouth, and I gasped for air as he dipped his head and once again began to ravage my breasts.
“You are wet for me?” he whispered against my breast and I nodded. “So wet, I can’t wait to taste you.”
I was thinking I wanted this feeling to last for a life time. “Please,” I whispered.
“Not yet,” he whispered and then he began to suck on my other nipple and move his hand in and out, fingering my clit with his thumb and inserting two fingers. I felt my hips move trying to get him where I wanted him, but he held firm.
I felt the pressure in my clit, as it began tingling, so fast I thought I wanted this to last not be over, but my body wasn’t listening, it wanted this man, it craved his touch, and damned if it wasn’t going to respond to it. Kian pumped his fingers in and out of me while kissing my breasts, alternating between them, it was amazing, no other man had ever taken this amount of time pleasuring me. When I could feel the first build up in my pussy, I shivered, shit, I was going to explode. He moved faster, pressing on my clit, trying to get the response he wanted.
“Come on, honey, let go,” he said softly and I fought it for a second, it was too much, I was feeling way too much.
