When it was over, he held her tightly.
“I love you, Kaley.”
She froze. The words she’d been thinking were spoken aloud, only it came from Quinn.
Looking up at him, she saw the love reflected in his eyes.
“Do you mean that?”
“You’ve got no idea how much I love you. The only time I could cope with the shit I was doing was thinking about you.” He let out a breath. “This is a dream come true to me.”
He shook as he touched her.
“I love you too, Quinn.” She cupped his face, smiling at him. For the first time in her life she wasn’t afraid to be herself. Maybe in time she’d be able to share everything with him, her own desires and passion.
Quinn pressed a kiss to her lips.
“Do we have to move out of the apartment?” she asked.
“No. I hope my sister can handle me being around a hell of a lot longer.”
She smiled. “Dorothy won’t have a problem. I’ll talk to her.” Kaley wrapped her arms around his waist, breathing out a sigh. Being honest with him about her feelings had lifted a weight off her shoulders she hadn’t known she’d been holding.
Chapter Seven
“When are you going to ask her?” Dorothy asked, taking a carrot stick from the bowl on the counter.
“Will you stop pinching food?”
“Why? It’s only for your loser friends. Oh right, your loser Navy Seal friends.”
“It’s Dale, John, and Bill. You better be nice. The other guys couldn’t make it.”
“Be nice? Quinn, brother, you’re in my apartment and about to overrun it with testosterone. Believe me when I say that I’m being nice. Have you even told Kaley?”
It had been a month since he’d admitted his feelings for her. He worked from his laptop at their apartment. The investments he’d made in the financial markets had given him plenty of money to work with. He’d started setting up his own security firm.
Several men he knew from his time in service were already on his payroll. He’d been looking at an office; once he had an office he would then look into employing extra staff and contracts. Kaley helped him set up his website. She was a genius at the advertisement element of his work. When he finally set everything up she’d be a valuable asset to his company.
“I’ve told her. She knows I’ve got a few friends coming.” Kaley was the one who advised him to put the word out about his business setup. She was wasted in the library. He understood why she liked it even though he wished she spent a hell of a lot more time with him.
“She has really come out of her shell since you’ve been around.”
“Then how do you think she’ll handle this?” He passed Dorothy the diamond ring he bought for her.
“Holy shit. You’re going to propose to her?”
“In front of both of our friends. You’re going to be here to witness it. I’ve also invited our folks. They should be arriving very soon.”
“How the hell are you going to handle this?” Dorothy asked, handing back the ring. “You can’t just let her walk in and find everyone here.”
“I’m not. I’m going to pick her up after work. We’re going to walk and talk for a while, then I’m bringing her back here.” He had planned everything out to the last detail. The only problem he saw was her answer. Kaley loved him, told him daily yet she’d never talked about what she wanted out of the future.
“It’s a beautiful ring,” Dorothy said.
“I hope so. Kaley has never been the most talkative person I know. She doesn’t tell me what she’s thinking.” He pocketed the ring.
His heart pounded at the thought of what she’d say to his proposal. This was the first time in his life he was unsure of himself.
The rest of the afternoon he spent cooking and baking for his friends. Dale was the first friend to arrive. His parents then Kaley’s parents arrived. He kept his eye on the clock for when he needed to go and get her.
John and Bill arrived as he was leaving.
“Everything’s inside waiting for you. I’ll be back with my girl.”
He took his time to get to the library. Quinn had walked all the way and stood outside the building, watching her through the glass. Her long brown hair was pulled back into a ponytail. The glasses she loved so much were on and she wore a long-sleeved pastel-pink shirt. He’d watched her dress that morning in a long denim skirt. She never showed a lot of flesh.
Martha pointed at something on the screen and Kaley leaned forward. The shirt gaped a little, showing off her ample cleavage. He hadn’t been able to keep his hands off her. She was so fucking hot. Morning and night he was desperate for her.
Every morning without fail he woke up hard. He’d take her hard and fast, loving the sounds she made when he hit her high and deep. Her pussy was sheer heaven. Kaley didn’t hide anything from him. She gave as good as she got. His cock thickened, remembering one morning when she woke up before him, sucking on his cock. Fuck, he was rock hard.
The dream he’d been having was of Kaley sucking him off. When he woke and found her sucking on his dick, it had taken every ounce of control not to shoot his load into her waiting mouth. She drove him crazy all the time. He’d been unable to resist one night when his sister was out. Quinn had Kaley bent over the coffee table taking his cock. He’d taken her without the condom and when it was over, he watched his come spill from the lips of her sex. It was the most erotic thing he’d ever witnessed.
He pulled out of his thoughts to watch his woman working.
Minutes passed as the last customer left the building. It was time for her to come home. He watched the lights go down and the staff start to make their way out of the building. Martha and Kaley were the last two to leave.
The moment she saw him, she danced toward him with a beaming smile on her face. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him close.
“I missed you today.”
He held her tight. “I missed you as well.”
“What’s the matter? You look worried.”
Kaley was also the first woman to sense his mood change.
“Nothing. Can we go for a walk before we head back to the apartment?” There were a few things he wanted to talk to Kaley about before he asked her to marry him.
“Okay. You’re kind of scaring me, Quinn. You’re not having second thoughts about being with me, are you?”
He took her hand, tugging her close. Sinking his fingers into her hair, he covered her mouth with his, taking the kiss he’d been thinking about all day.
“No. I’ve got no doubts when it comes to you.”
“I’ll see you two lovebirds soon,” Martha said.
Quinn waved toward the other woman, taking Kaley toward the park. She loved walking through the park no matter the season. Fall would soon be upon them and it would be too dark to enjoy the view of the lake.
“How was work?”
“Fine. I couldn’t stop thinking about you or what you did to me this morning.”
He chuckled. That very morning he showed her how hot sex in the shower could be. He’d trapped her between the corner of the wall and his body, driving into her hard, again without the use of a condom. It had been a couple of weeks since he last used a condom. She wasn’t on the pill. The risk of pregnancy increased each time he fucked her.
“There’s something I’ve got to tell you.”
“Tell me, Quinn. You’re scaring me a little.”
He stopped beside one of the oak trees in the park. “I lied to you.”
“Huh?”
“The week I came to live with you and Dorothy, I intended to get you used to my company. You weren’t helping me and so I broke into your computer.” He could have gone the rest of his life without her knowing. Quinn didn’t want to start the next stage of their life on lies.

“You read my stories?” she asked.
Quinn nodded. Not only had he read her stories, he’d have known she used his name and bi
rthday as a security code in her laptop. Her heart raced and she was hurt. Was the last few weeks a lie?
“Why are you telling me this?”
“I don’t know.”
“The man you’ve been. Is that real?” Had he changed for her? What was she to think or feel? The man in front of her still looked like the man she loved yet he was telling her he lied. None of it made any sense to her. What should she do with this information?
“I’m real. I was trying to be a different man for you before I read those stories. You were always so skittish around me. I wanted to stop that and I went looking for something that would let me know what you wanted in a man.”
“You invaded my life to be part of my life?”
“Yes. Fuck, Kaley. I’ve wanted you for long and I no longer wanted to want. I needed to have you. I’ve been in love with you for so long.” He took hold of her hand. She didn’t let him go. This couldn’t be happening.
Quinn wouldn’t hurt her. He’d not hurt her now.
He read my stories.
Frowning, she stared at him. Quinn had read her stories and yet he’d not run from her. Why? Her stories were not for the faint of heart. The men were dominant, not necessarily into whips and chains but they took what they wanted. The women always wanted them yet found some way to fight them.
“You’re not repulsed by what I write?”
“No. I thought you were very talented. You need to learn to share that talent with the world.” He got down on one knee before her, producing a velvet box.
“What are you doing?”
No, he couldn’t be proposing, could he?
“Baby, I know I fucked up. I shouldn’t have read those stories but it told me so much about you. The moment I read them I knew I was perfect for you. I’ve got no doubt in my mind that we’re supposed to be together. Will you forgive me and marry me?”
Kaley stared at their joined hands. She wanted to stay mad at him. Those stories were hers alone yet could she really hate it?
Was it really a big deal about him reading her stories? She’d never been this happy in all the years she’d been alone. Her love for Quinn went far beyond those stories.
The only man she loved was Quinn. She licked her lips then looked into his hazel eyes.
“I wish you hadn’t read my books, but I love you, Quinn.”
“Is that a yes?”
She nodded. Tears filled her eyes at the joy. He laughed, tugging her into his arms. “I love you, Kaley, so fucking much.” Quinn pulled away long enough to slide the diamond ring on her finger. “I promise I’ll make you the happiest woman in the world.”
“You’ve got to tell my father. He might not give you his blessings.”
“That’s another thing. My friends and our parents are at the apartment waiting for us. I was going to propose to you in front of them.”
“I’m so pleased you didn’t.” The thought of being the center of attention terrified her. “Let’s go and face them.”
“You’re not mad about your books?”
“A little but I’m not going to be unreasonable. I know why you did it even if I don’t agree. I can’t hate what happened as it has made me the happiest woman in the world.” She rested her head on his shoulder, lifting up the ring he’d bought especially for her. “Let’s go back to our apartment.”
Once they were home her parents pulled her in for a hug. They all saw the ring and threw angry glares at Quinn for proposing without them. She calmed them all down, telling them all he did the right thing. Kaley would never be the kind of woman who needed an audience.
“You’re going to be my sister for real,” Dorothy said, pulling her in for a hug.
Kaley smiled. Quinn wouldn’t let her get far as he introduced her to his friends. They were all large and scary. The whole gathering was fun even if everyone kept talking about their past. There were not many memories of Quinn and her together, however, there was enough to have her red in the face.
By nine all of their parents and friends were gone. Dorothy had also left with her parents to give them privacy.
“Are you happy?” he asked.
“Yes.”
She snuggled up close to him on the sofa, breathing him in. “I’m going to get married.”
“Yep, we’re going to get married, have lots of kids, grow old together.”
“How is your company coming?”
“Great. Dale and Bill are looking forward to joining when they’ve done their latest mission.” He stroked her hair as they talked. The television was off and she saw their reflections staring back at her.
“What’s going on in that head of yours?” he asked.
“Nothing. I just can’t believe this is happening.”
“Believe it, baby. I’m never going to let you go.”
“Did you really go into the service to give me time?”
“Yes. My mom believed you were too young. I love my mom and trust her judgment. You were too young for what I wanted.”
She tilted her head back to look at him. “What do you believe now?”
“I believe I waited long enough for heaven. I’m not going to wait a moment longer.” He took her hand leading her through to her bedroom.
“We’re going to have to find another place to stay. It’s getting harder to face Dorothy in the morning.”
Quinn always made sure to have her screaming in orgasm. Most of the time she didn’t know how Dorothy could talk to her. She was very vocal during sex. No matter how many times she tried to use the pillow to muffle the sound, if didn’t work. He laughed.
“I’ve got a place that I’m looking into. I was going to buy a place near where our folks lived.”
He closed the bedroom door.
“What changed?”
“My company and I know you love working for Martha. I figured we can settle in a condo for a few years before we find a place of our own.”
She smiled. “I like that.”
“Good, take your clothes off. I want to see what’s mine.”
A few weeks ago she’d be too nervous to show herself to him. Quinn had given her the confidence to reveal herself to him.
Chapter Eight
Kaley took her time in removing the pink shirt. She wore a white lace bra underneath that showcased her red nipples. Quinn sat on the edge of the bed, watching her reveal her body to his gaze. She was so fucking beautiful. In the last few weeks of them being together her confidence had grown.
Just looking at her filled him with such pride at knowing he was the one responsible for giving it to her.
She wiggled out of the skirt, standing before him in only the sexy lingerie she loved so much.
She’s going to be all mine.
The very thought had his cock hardening even more. Standing up, he unbuckled his belt, taking off his jeans and shirt. She took a step toward him. He reached out, sinking his fingers into the fullness of her hair, drawing her close to him.
Smashing his lips against hers, Quinn didn’t hold anything back as he showed her with actions the passion she inspired inside him. They both moaned together. The sound echoed around the room.
He unsnapped her bra, tugging the fabric down her body. Leaning forward, he claimed one of her nipples, sucking the hard bud into his mouth.
She moaned and her head fell back as she gave herself up to his mouth. He licked from one breast to the other, giving both tits equal attention. At the same time he sucked her tits, he teased under the band of her underwear, pulling them away from her body.
“You’re always tearing my underwear.”
“You’ll stop buying them soon.”
“I need them.”
“You’re perfect without wearing them.” He glided his finger through her creamy slit, moaning at the wetness that coated his fingers. “You’re always so wet and willing.”
Quinn turned her to the bed, pushing her until she fell on top. He didn’t give her a chance to get away from him. Opening her thighs, he attacked her clit
, licking and sucking the nub into his mouth.
She thrust her pelvis up to him. He pressed a hand to her stomach, keeping her in place as he teased her pussy. Moving down, he fucked her cunt, relishing the tightness that would soon be around his cock.
“I ache for you, Kaley. Come for me, baby. Come so I can fuck you.”
“I love you, Quinn.”
“Love you too, baby.” He’d never invade her privacy again. Quinn would wait for her to come to him. He had done what he needed to do without giving much thought to her.
He flicked his tongue over her clit, glancing up to see her thrashing, fighting her pending orgasm.
“Give it to me, Kaley. Don’t make me take it.”
Quinn pressed two fingers inside her heat, groaning at the tightness of her. She splintered apart on his finger and tongue. He drank down her come, greedy for more.
Stepping back from the bed, he slid his boxer brief’s down. Kaley took him by surprise by going to her knees before him.
“My turn.”
When they were inside their bedroom his woman had turned into a seductress. He loved the passion in her eyes. She was a beautiful woman, a giving woman.
She gripped his cock, working from the base up to the tip. Kaley licked the tip that was leaking his pre-come. Wrapping her brown hair around his wrist, he held onto her head, directing the depth as she took the head into her mouth.
“Fucking hell!” He shouted the curse words as the heat of her mouth sent shockwaves of pleasure shooting throughout the whole of his body. This was unlike anything he’d ever experienced. Kaley was amazing and watching her cheeks suck in as she took more of him only turned him on even more.
“You’re so fucking beautiful, Kaley. You’re my woman. My little virgin woman.”
“I’m not a virgin anymore.” She released his cock long enough to say to him.
“No, you’re not. I took your virginity. It still makes you my little virgin woman.” She sucked him back inside her tight mouth.
He pumped his hips, going as deep as he could, groaning.
Closing his eyes, he counted to ten to stop himself from coming in her mouth. Tonight wouldn’t end here. When he found his orgasm he intended to be inside her.
