Accidental Parents

by Matthews, Evie

  Carefully securing her hair with a clip, she stepped out of the bathroom and ran right smack into Tyler who stepped into the bedroom at the same time. Unable to get any response from his brief knock, he pushed the door open and walked into the room.

  Tyler immediately reached out to steady her, with both hands on her upper arms. Instinctively, Kendra crossed her arms over her towel-covered breasts to keep it in place. The action drew his attention to her dewy breasts, barely covered by the thin towel.

  Kendra gasped softly as she realized Tyler was staring at her body, making her nipples pucker in response. The sound pulled Tyler’s attention back to her face. His eyes were like hot coals, smoldering with desire and the promise of unbridled passion. His look made her feel naked, desired, evoking thoughts of silk sheets and wet, hungry kisses.

  Her wayward thoughts caused a delicious quiver of excitement run through her body. Her rapid breathing and the telltale flush of her face revealed what she was thinking of the moment.

  “I…I was about to check on Sophie and head for bed,” Tyler husked, his voice held Kendra in trance.

  “Uhmm, right…bed.” To her utter embarrassment, her brain seemed only too latched on that single word—bed, conjuring more wanton thoughts. Her features betrayed her thoughts, her eyes widened and darkened as she continued to look at Tyler, transfixed.

  “Oh sweetheart…you’re making it impossible for me to walk away…” Tyler’s low, gruff voice wove a web of seduction.

  As he leaned down to kiss her, Kendra lifted both hands to ward him off. She inadvertently stepped on the hem of the oversized towel. Only loosely secured, the towel unwrapped itself from her body. Kendra instantly made a despairing grab for it just as Tyler closed the gap between their bodies in an effort to protect her modesty.

  To her utter dismay, Kendra’s hands only encountered empty air, while Tyler’s unexpectedly touched her warm and damp hips.

  “Oh!” Kendra squeaked out a protest. Tyler’s hands tightened around her, pulling her closer still, wrapping his arms around her. Her wet body soaked his shirt.

  At the feel of her breasts against his chest, Tyler groaned out loud. “Oh, Kendra…” He lowered his mouth to effectively silence any more protest. As soon as their lips touched, a fire ignited in her belly, awakening the dormant desire inside her.

  Tyler’s mouth was hot and passionate, branding her with his passion. He had held back and ignored the attraction for far too long. His kiss was ravenous, bruising her lips and provoking a response from her. Kendra found it difficult to think against the onslaught of sensations. Tyler’s tongue snaked out and teased her mouth open. Rising up to the challenge, she returned his kisses without equal fervor. Her tongue explored his mouth, teasing and taunting.

  Tyler slowly kneaded her hips, pulling her closer so she could feel his erection. With only his khaki shorts between them, Tyler’s arousal was evident. She moaned softly as she rubbed her body against his. In response, Tyler’s hand travelled upwards to cup her breast.

  He touched her soft mounds lightly, stroking them masterfully until her nipples thrust excitedly into dusky peaks. The gentle way he touched her breast made her feel impatient. She didn’t want to hold back, not now when the passion was too intense to ignore.

  Tyler broke off the kiss and whispered into her ear. “I want to see you… all of you.” His warm, moist breath tickled her ear and sent shivers of anticipation down her spine. Kendra closed her eyes for a moment. It was impossible to turn away now. She wanted him with every fiber of her being, like she had never wanted anyone before.

  Gently, Tyler stepped back to look at her. His eyes smoldered as he feasted his eyes on every curve and inch of her naked body. Reverently, he touched her erect nipple, softly pinching it between his thumb and forefinger. Kendra gasped softly as her body shivered in anticipation.

  “Good Lord, I have a good imagination but you’re better than I imagined.” Tyler muttered under his breath, talking to himself. “Kendra, darling listen to me. I want to make love to you.” Tyler’s voice was thick with emotion.

  “Really?” Kendra murmured against his lips. “If that’s the case, you’re sorely overdressed don’t you think?”

  “Insolent little wench.” Tyler chuckled before he swooped down to take her lips for another demanding kiss that sent her senses spinning. He then proceeded to trail small kisses along her jaw and down to her throat, his tongue swirling erotic circles at the base of her neck.

  With the onslaught of wild emotions, Kendra could only hold on to him as she savored every sensation. Tonight and for the first time in her life, she threw caution to the mind. She will deal with the consequences tomorrow.

  She ran her fingers through her hair and drew in a ragged breath, inhaling his clean woodsy smell. When she opened her eyes, Tyler was looking down at her with heart-rending tenderness, melting all her reservations away.

  As if memorizing her face, Tyler traced her features before he drew her again for another hard, demanding kiss. “Do you have any idea how much I want you?” Tyler whispered softly.

  “Show me.”Kendra said.

  With a slow, seductive smile that held so much promise, Tyler scooped in one fluid motion and carried her to bed. With Sophie sound asleep in the other corner of the room, they spoke in hushed voices.

  “Hold on, sweetheart. I need to get some protection.” Tyler playfully nipped her lower lip before crossing the room in several strides and retrieved a box of condoms from his bedroom. When he returned, he turned off all the lights except for the bedside lamp, which cast a warm, intimate glow.

  Kendra could not help but laugh at the sight of the box in his hand. She raised one eyebrow in question.

  “For good measure,” Tyler chuckled as he joined her in bed. Drawing her close, Tyler inhaled her soft, sweet scent.

  “Touch me, sweetheart.” Tyler murmured, guiding Kendra’s hand to his throbbing erection. With slightly trembling hand, she stroked him through his shorts, relishing the knowledge that she had done this to him. Wanting more contact, she moved closer to him to rub her hips against his hardness. Kendra smiled at the sound of his soft groan.

  Gently stroking his flat abdomen with her nails, her hand moved underneath his shirt to find the soft springy curls on his chest. His muscles rippled at her touch. God, he is magnificent. She could hardly believe what was happening.

  With the pad of her thumb, she stroked lazy circles around one taut nipple. Looking up, Kendra leaned forward to kiss Tyler. This time, she took the lead as she parted his lips with her tongue. She was surprised with her boldness. His hand found her soft breasts again and kneaded them gently.

  As the kiss deepened, Kendra impatiently lifted up Tyler’s shirt, eager to feel his chest against her. He helped her whisk the shirt off his shoulders and their hasty efforts sent the garment tumbling on the floor.

  Making a soft mewling sound, Kendra rubbed her body against him, relishing the tickling sensation of his chest hair against her breast. Tyler rolled her to her back and pinned her hands above her head with one hand.

  Holding her gaze, he slowly bent down to kiss the underside of her left breast, making her squirm in delight. “Close your eyes, sweetheart. Let me love you…” Tyler’s voice sounded rich and sinful.

  Still holding both of her hands captive, his warm mouth zeroed in on one taut nipple. He skillfully swirled his hot, wet tongue around it before he gently sucked the rosy nub. She was sizzling with unbridled passion, gyrating underneath him, seeking for more. He proceeded to give the other nipple the same attention.

  “Tyler....” Kendra moaned softly as she held on to Tyler’s hair. She sucked her breath in anticipation as she felt Tyler’s hand moved down towards her flat belly. She widened her legs to accommodate Tyler’s body above her. She could feel his hardness straining against his boxers, a firm reminder of what was to come.

  Kendra allowed her hands to explore his back and luxuriate the feel of his thick, well-defined muscles. Tyler’s
large and chiseled body made her feel more feminine and delicate. Raising her hips slightly, she sensuously rubbed her lower body against him.

  Tyler’s hand reached the triangle of soft curls below. His fingers glided over the sensitive skin of her inner thigh, the pad of his thumb making tantalizing circles near her dewy folds. Kendra knew Tyler was deliberately teasing her, fuelling her passion to reach fever pitch.

  Writhing under him, she impatiently pulled down his boxers down. Tyler chuckled huskily at her impatience. The full body contact made her gasp in sheer delight. Tyler trailed small kisses down her body. When he reached her belly button, he swirled his tongue around it, before he moved downward still.

  Kendra was unconsciously holding her breath. Her throat suddenly grew dry. Lifting her hips slightly, he started to make love to her dewy folds. His tongue swirled, nipped and sucked gently, making her moan out loud. His tongue explored every crevice.

  No man had ever made her feel like this before. She clutched at the ends of the pillow as if holding on to dear life. “Lord, I never thought it could feel this good,” she thought as she closed her eyes and allowed wave after wave of pleasure wrack her body.

  “Let go. I want you to let go...” Tyler looked up in between her legs and gave her a cocky grin.

  Panting heavily, Kendra tried to think of some witty retort but her brain refused to cooperate. Tyler continued to patiently stoke her passion, creating a wildfire within her. Just when she thought she could not take any more, Tyler roughly positioned her body sideways and placed one of her legs on his shoulder.

  With one clean stroke, he entered her warm, tight folds, her welcoming heat enveloping him. He groaned out loud at the maelstrom of sensation. Holding her hips steady, he started to move masterfully.

  She could tell he was unusually big as she felt his thickness and hard length slice through her. She closed her eyes tight and simply allowed the sensation to take over. She was not even aware she was making soft mewling sounds with every stroke.

  “Open your eyes, sweetheart. I want you to see you.” Tyler instructed. He reached out and kneaded her breast.

  He pulled out his full length and rammed into her again and again. Without skipping a beat, he positioned her on her knees. Holding her neck gently, he continued to slide in and out of her, this time deeper and faster. Her breasts jiggled with the rhythm.

  As she felt the tension mounted reached unbearable heights, she clutched at Tyler’s wrist, which was holding her hip steady. She felt herself convulse with pleasure as she experienced the most powerful climax. After a few more strokes, she felt Tyler followed.

  During those several seconds of intense gratification, she lost sense of time and space. It was unnerving. She had never felt so uninhibited and wanton.

  Tyler kissed the small of her back before he slumped beside her. He studied her intently as she tried to collect her wits. Embarrassed by her unrestrained response, she refused to look at him. Gently, he tilted her chin and waited for her to look at him.

  Licking her lower lip, she hesitated. “I...I have never been like that before with any man.” Kendra tried not to sound defensive.

  “Like what?” Tyler prodded as he studied her closely.

  “Like...like, you know...wild, wanton...” Kendra rolled her eyes to mask her embarrassment but the blush that stained her cheeks gave her away.

  Tyler chuckled in response. “I’ll take that as a compliment, sweetheart.”

  Kendra punched him playfully on the chest. “You’re so full of it, you know that? I will wipe that smug look off your face one of these days!”

  Placing both hands under his head, he simply smiled mysteriously. He looked as if he was thoroughly enjoying himself.

  Despite the mild irritation she felt, curiosity got the better of her. “Has it always been like that with other women?”

  He looked at her meaningfully and stared at her for several seconds. “No. Never like that,” he said huskily.

  Kendra’s eyes widened in surprise, “Really? Never?”

  “No. Satisfied?” Tyler grinned at her.

  “Yes,” Kendra beamed.

  Tyler closed his eyes. Kendra was unusually quiet by his side but he could feel her stare. “What is it? I know you’re dying to ask more questions.”

  “Well... it is just that...I find it hard to believe it wasn’t like that with Bianca and the other gorgeous women you have dated in the past.” Kendra asked shyly.

  “You’re a curious little cat, you know that?” Tyler said then gave her a quick peck on the lips before he pulled her close to him. “I never felt this alive in my life, Ken. I mean it. Not with anyone. Now, if you have no other questions, I’d like to catch some sleep. You wore me out,” Tyler teased.

  Kendra smiled smugly. Despite the unexpected turn of events, she never felt so right. She resolved to simply enjoy each moment. Tamping down all negative thoughts, she finally succumbed to sleep.

  Chapter Ten

  Kendra woke up to the soft gurgling sounds of the baby. Bleary eyed, she saw Sophie happily gnawing her hand while watching Tyler put on a new set of clothes on her. Her eyebrows twitched in response to Tyler’s voice.

  Suddenly, the events that happened last night dawned on her. The thought of their lovemaking made her cheeks turn beet red. Flustered, she checked the bedside clock and was aghast to find out it was already past eight o’clock in the morning.

  The sound of her gasp made Tyler look up. Their eyes met for several tension-filled seconds, both shared a new level of heightened awareness. Her limited experience with men made her feel self-conscious and awkward, a complete opposite of her sultry, passionate alter ego.

  Tyler grinned warmly and greeted her cheerily. He had been up since four o’clock in the morning and had finished a lot of paperwork before Sophie woke up. He also spent countless minutes staring at Kendra’s sleeping figure and had struggled against the temptation to kiss her awake. He longed to share another round of mad, passionate love with Kendra but he also knew she had not been sleeping well the past few nights, judging by the dark circles around her eyes.

  “Good morning.” Tyler greeted with a soft, husky voice that made her toes curl. “I would have loved to serve you breakfast in bed but this little miss got me preoccupied.”

  “S-sorry I must have overslept.” Kendra stammered, not quite sure she should act around him after what happened. To her utter dismay, she only had lacy purple panties on and nothing else to cover the rest of her body. She impatiently brushed back her tousled mane and gently wrapped the blanket around her body with slightly trembling fingers.

  She was aware Tyler was staring at her the entire time, which made her more uncomfortable. She was unaware of the incredibly sexy picture she made, which made Tyler’s mouth dry. Her skin seemed to slimmer under the soft morning light that filtered through the curtain, casting an ethereal glow about her.

  Tyler had been with so many women in the past, more than he would care to admit. Many were more beautiful and far sexier than Kendra, but none of them had made him gawk like what he could not seem to stop from doing. And she was not even naked, dammit! But his imagination ran wild as he pictured her sensuous legs moving under the sheets—the very same sheets they’d made love in.

  Unaware that he groaned out loud, his fantasy was softly interrupted when Kendra purposely cleared her throat. “Uhhm... I’ll just take a quick shower and I’ll have Sophie out of your way.” She then stood up with the thick blanket wrapped securely around her. I am such a prude! What must he think of me? Kendra chastised herself. Her awkwardness was further aggravated by the knowledge Tyler had been with many women—mostly more worldly and experienced than her.

  With an exaggerated sigh, Tyler teased. “I wish I could join you, maybe next time. Please, by all means take your time. Sophie seems to love my company.” He stole a quick glance at Kendra, who once again looked flustered. She was blushing profusely as she hurriedly crossed the room and shut the bathroom door firmly be
hind her.

  He had never seen any woman blush as much as she did. It was quite refreshing. He realized he liked this quiet, self-conscious side of Kendra, something that he knew not many people often saw. To the rest of the world, she appeared to be a self-assured, confident woman who always put the needs of others above her own. Maybe that was the reason why she worked as a pediatric nurse for a living, he mused. It was in her very nature to nurture and care for the people around her.

  Since the day she moved in, Tyler had started to see Kendra in a whole new light and his attraction made him a bit uncomfortable. Sure, he had been attracted to a lot of women in the past but somehow, it was different with Kendra. Frankly, he was not used to skirting the issue so to speak. He was so used to maintaining a straightforward relationship with women in the past, it was like Kendra belonged to a whole new breed of species he isn’t yet ready to fully understand.

  Maybe it was the friendship they shared that he never had with any woman in the past. Maybe it was their current setup which made it more and more difficult to pretend the idea of having a family to come home to at the end of each day had not become more and more appealing. Maybe he just needed to get her out of his system once and for all or maybe... Tyler chided himself for going on and on like a lovesick school boy in his first throes of passion. Who knew a woman could effortlessly get the great Tyler Chadwick all twisted, hot and bothered like some raunchy teenager?

  Tyler barked out a mirthless laugh at the thought. Careful Chadwick, he reminded himself.

  “Or else what?” his inner voice challenged.

  The thought loomed like an ominous cloud in his mind all day long. Tyler decided to spend the rest of the day in his office attending operational concerns. Even when he knew he was no longer needed at the construction site, he lingered for several hours.

  It was around nine o’clock in the evening when he finally arrived home. He had already phoned in earlier asking Kendra if she needed anything and to tell her not to wait up for him because he was scheduled to have a dinner meeting with a client. The truth was, he ate his dinner straight out of a Chinese takeout box in the comfort of his office.
