He wanted to protect her from the outside world and all its fucked-up shit. He had never felt like this about anyone before. He wanted to take care of Tegan, see to her every need. He wanted to lay the world at her feet. Just meeting her had changed his game and thrown him way the fuck off. He needed to rethink of what he needed to do. At this point he knew two things—one, Tegan was his, and two, he was never letting her go.
“I am better than good. My headache is even gone. Ash, that was…unbelievable,” she said, turning her head to look over her shoulder at him.
He sucked in his breath at her smile. Something in his chest tightened at the beautiful sight of that gorgeous smile. His girl was fucking unpredictable as hell, and he could see she was definitely going to keep him on his toes. He did the only thing he could do at this point. He smiled back, and then he hugged her close and kissed the top of her head while still buried inside her. Hell, he wanted to stay inside her forever. When he started to pull out he was still half hard. He was tempted to take her again, but he knew she had to be sore, so he slowly slipped out, which drew a soft groan from her.
After they had washed again he dried her off he was feeling the urge to see to her needs. He kept asking her if she was sore and if she was feeling all right. Tegan thought it was so sweet as she assured him she was fine.
He found himself explaining about the blonde girl last night as Tegan brushed her teeth twice and then combed her long hair. He tensed as she looked at him through the mirror. He didn’t know what to expect when she turned to face him. Her expression gave nothing away, but he was ready for her little ass if she should go off on him again. He would have to spank her if she punched him.
She ran her hand over his abs and up to his chest, tracing over his tattoo as he sucked in his breath, and his cock twitched under the towel.
“Just don’t let it happen again, cowboy, or I will walk,” she told him.
Then she tiptoed up, pulled him down, and kissed him before walking out and eyeing the splintered door that he had kicked in. She didn’t say anything. She just lifted a finely arched eyebrow at him and grinned.
Fuck, his baby was something else.
When he walked out of the bathroom Tegan wasn’t there. He grabbed a pair of jeans and quickly pulled them on, thinking she had left until he heard her singing in the kitchen. She had a really nice voice. The sight of her dancing and singing while wearing nothing but one of his dress shirts made all his blood pool in his groin. That’s what she did to him every fucking time.
He rarely let any women he brought here stay the night, and if they did he always sent them packing as soon as they woke. With Tegan he wanted to move her ass in. The hell with that, she didn’t need to go get her shit. He would buy her all new of anything she needed. Thinking of that, he pulled out his phone and typed a text before slipping it back in his pocket.
Tegan fluttered around, pouring them both cups of coffee. She stopped singing and blushed when she noticed him leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed over his bare chest watching her.
“Do you take your coffee black?” she asked as she drank in the sight of him.
Her nipples hardened, and she had a pulse between her legs. When God made Ash Stone he didn’t hold anything back. The man was absolutely mouthwatering.
“Yeah, babe,” he said, pushing away and walking to her.
He wrapped her up in his arms and held her. He kissed her temple before releasing her. He couldn’t help but think how fucking good she felt in his arms.
Tegan felt pretty damned good considering she had gotten half-assed drunk the night before and lost her virginity. Her good mood lasted all through the breakfast Ash cooked for her while she watched. He was shirtless, and his ass looked really good in those jeans he was wearing, but it was the tattoo inked across his chest that got her all hot and bothered. Her nipples beaded, and her tender pussy was throbbing, weeping liquid heat at the thought of what he did to her in the shower. She didn’t remember everything about the night before, but she could still remember what he felt like inside her when he took her in the shower. She loved every second of it.
Ash kept stealing glances at her as he cooked. He had that sexy half-quirked grin on his face that she decided she loved. His black hair was slightly messed up, making him appear younger. It was like he could tell what she was thinking as he set her plate down and took a seat across from her. She didn’t want food. She wanted him and pushed her plate away.
“Aren’t you hungry, kitten?” Ash asked as she pushed back her chair and stood.
He lifted an eyebrow as he watched her round the table. The look of heated lust on her face could not be mistaken. Fuck yes. He knew what she wanted and he was more than willing to give it to her. He pushed his chair back as she reached him and was standing between his legs. He about swallowed his tongue when she whipped that shirt over her head, then straddled him baring her swollen pussy to him.
“Tegan, fuck,” he groaned when she nipped first his neck and then his nipple.
He moved his hands over her curves. Her skin was hot silk. With an arm around her waist, he lifted her enough to take a beaded nipple in his mouth and sucked hard. He did not neglect the other nipple and gave it the same attention. She cried out when he nipped it with his teeth. He lavished it with his tongue and then released it with an audible pop. He fisted her damp hair and brought her mouth to his. The kiss was long and passionate, and when he drew back and gazed down at her, something dark and predatory flashed in his eyes, taking her breath away.
“Ash, fuck me. I need to feel you inside me again,” she told him in that whiskey voice of hers.
He growled and stood with her still wrapped around him. He held her ass as he shoved the plates out of the way and laid her on the table.
“Fucking gorgeous, Tegan,” he said as he ran a hand from her neck to her groin, drinking in the incredible sight of her sexy little ass spread out before him.
He moved her legs up to his shoulders and kissed and nibbled his way down them. When he reached the junction of her legs, he used his hands to spread her wide so he could see all of her. Her scent was fucking sweet and tantalizing, making his mouth water. Her pussy looked like a peach, plump, ripe, and juicy. She was still a little red and swollen from earlier.
He chuckled when Tegan squirmed under his scrutiny of her most intimate parts.
“Ash, please, do something. I can’t stand it,” she begged him.
“Grip the edge of the table and don’t let go,” he told her.
He waited until she did what he asked. Then, he grinned, lowered his head, and licked her from top to bottom and then back again. She was making all kinds of erotic little sounds as she moved her hips restlessly. He fucking loved that. He speared his tongue into her, and he was rewarded with a gush of her cream and a long moan from his babe. He reached up and rolled one of her nipples as he twirled his tongue over her clit. She screamed and her whole body trembled. He loved that she was so responsive. She came the second he sucked hard and pushed a finger into her slit.
He wanted to see how many times he could bring her like this but he thought his dick was going to explode if he didn’t get inside her. He stood, gripped her legs, and then jerked her to the edge of the table forcing her to release her hold on the end of the table.
It only took him a second to unbutton and shove down his jeans, releasing his throbbing cock. He kicked his jeans off, grabbed her hips, and lined up the large mushroom head of his cock with her slick slit.
She moaned loudly, throwing her head back as he plunged into her hot, tight depths only to pull out and do it again.
“Oh God, Ash. I can’t take,” she groaned.
“You can take it. You will take everything I give you,” he told her as he pumped into her.
He showed no mercy as he pounded into her, and she begged for more. With a growl he gave it to her. He brought her screaming twice more before he yelled out, tensed up, and emptied his balls into her. He leaned ov
er her and buried his face between her tits, trying to recover.
He was very aware that he hadn’t worn a condom with Tegan. This was a first for him. Never in his life had he not worn a condom even when the women he had been with had told him they were on the pill and clean. It had never been a chance that he had been willing to take until now. He knew his Tegan was pure, and he wanted to tie her to him. What better way than to get her pregnant.
At thirty-two years old he had never thought to marry and have children until he had met her. The thought of her carrying his child sent a thrill through him.
Tegan rose up on her elbows, kissed him softly, slowly nipping his lip.
“That was incredible. Let’s do that again,” she said against his lips.
He smiled against her lips and groaned, flexing his cock inside her, which made her gasp. He had created a monster. His little kitten liked sex, thank God. He planned to give her as much as she wanted.
“Let’s get cleaned up, my little wild one, and eat so we will have the energy to do that again.”
“Sounds like a plan, cowboy.”
Why she decided to start calling him cowboy he will never know, but the funny thing was he kind of liked it. Fuck, he had it bad.
They had just taken another shower and were getting dressed when Tegan’s phone rang. Ash could tell by the frown and the way she was staring at it that she really didn’t want to answer it. He was surprised when she took a deep breath, pushed a button, and put her phone to her ear. He watched her walk to the window as she spoke.
Hello…what? I did not…No, I am not coming home…of course I do…no…I am staying here and finding a job…Tina said I can stay…what…no, of course not…that is not true…Roland has nothing to do with this…I do not care.”
Ash could only hear one side of the conversation, but that was bad enough. He could easily guess whom she was talking to.
Tegan growled, then jerked the phone away from her ear, and pressed End like ten times really hard. Ash thought she was going to throw it across the room. She was pissed and he knew he had Thomas Ryann to thank for that, the fucking bastard.
Ash walked over, took her phone, tossed it on the bed, and hugged her in his arms.
“I forbid you to take any more of his calls. Every time he calls he just says something to pisses you off, and I don’t like it.”
This made her laugh and she hugged him back. He held her close. Shit, she was shaking. He wanted to ask her what the bastard had said, but he didn’t.
“There is no way I can just noy talk to him ever again,” she mumbled against his chest.
“Fine, but not today. Come on, kitten. Let’s go out to get something to eat.”
“But you cooked?”
“And it’s cold and nasty now.”
“I don’t have anything to wear except this,” she said, sweeping her hand toward the dress thrown over the chair in the corner that she had worn to the game last night.
She was once more wearing his button up shirt she had snagged out of his closet. She didn’t bother to tell him she was wearing a pair of his boxer briefs because her panties had mysteriously disappeared, not to mention they were ripped.
“I will buy you more,” he said pulling her to the door.
“What? Whoa there, cowboy. I can’t let you do that. I can buy my own clothes, thank you very much.”
He stopped, turned, and backed her up until her back was against the wall. Then he fisted her hair, leaned down, and kissed her hard. When he pulled away she had that glazed look, and he liked knowing he put that look there.
“I want to buy you clothes, and you are going to let me. I do not want to hear another word about it, or you will not get any more of this,” he told her, taking her hand and rubbing over his hard, jean-encased cock.
Tegan drew him down for another kiss. She grinned against his mouth and her eyes twinkled with mischief.
“You drive a hard bargain, cowboy,” she told him while giving his cock a little squeeze when she said hard.
He chuckled then nipped her neck, which made her squeal and laugh. She quickly changed back into her dress and heels. She had even taken off his briefs, so she was bare under it. Ash liked it, too. If her stomach hadn’t growled he would have taken her back to bed and kept her there until neither of them could move.
On the way out he didn’t bother to remind her that she had left her phone on his bed.
Tegan had thought to fix her wild hair in the elevator, but Ash had other ideas. He pinned her in the corner and kissed her breathless while he caressed her breasts and her bare ass. She was glad no one else was in the underground parking except for Robert, Ash’s driver, and he wasn’t saying anything about seeing her long wild hair and kiss-swollen lips.
Ash took her to lunch at a small out of the way restaurant. She managed to make herself presentable by the time they got there no thanks to Ash who was all over her on the ride over. She had loved it. Ash was back to wearing his ball cap and sunglasses, and she knew why he did it. He was just as much as a celebrity as Marc and Tina just in different way. That’s when it hit her. She the short, chubby girl from small-town Texas was dating a billionaire playboy. Would wonders never cease?
They sat close. He kept his arm over the back of her chair as he held her hand, while kissing her neck and making her giggle until the food came. He would not let her drink any wine and ordered them both coffee instead. He laughed when she pouted.
It was her turn to laugh when he told her that he didn’t want her to get Indian drunk on him. She really wasn’t a drinker until she came here.
Halfway through lunch his phone rang. It was Tina so he answered. She asked where they were. He didn’t want to, but he told her. Ten minutes later she came bouncing up to their table. She told them that Marc had team business and would be gone for the rest of the day.
They spent the rest of the afternoon shopping. Ash tried to buy Tegan a new phone but she refused telling him there was nothing wrong with her old one. He let it go but bought her a new wardrobe for the coming winter. He had Tina to thank for that because Tegan had refused to let him until Tina talked her into it.
Ash discovered his girl loved boots, so he bought her eight pairs in different colors and styles. He would have bought her more, but she wouldn’t let him. Stubborn woman. She was the first woman he had ever been with who didn’t want him buying shit for her. She even offered to pay him back when she got a job, which pissed him off. He growled at her, telling her the clothes were a gift and she was not going to pay him back. Tegan just rolled her eyes and told him thank you. It was late afternoon when they took Tina home. Tina was still talking nonstop at the same time she was texting her pretty little ass off.
Tegan ignored her cousin’s chatter, crawled up onto Ash’s lap, and curled against his chest as he held her. She was asleep before they reached Tina’s apartment.
“Take care of her, Ash,” Tina whispered and kissed his cheek before getting out. Then Tina told him to wait just a minute. Then she left and returned a few minutes later with a small piece of luggage that belonged to Tegan.
Ash took his tired little girl home, where he undressed her and put her to bed. He lay beside her for the longest time just watching her, holding her, and breathing in the sweet scent that was all Tegan. He was still wondering how this little girl had managed to turn his world upside down in such a short amount of time. Again he had that strange tightening in his chest. He forced himself to leave her and go to his office to get some work done.
Max had already sent him a text letting him know he had taken care of her cell phone while they were out. Ash almost felt guilty about placing a tracking device in her phone, but the feeling passed quickly. Keeping her safe was more important.
He had another phone call and was angry because he had to leave town tomorrow morning on business, and it looked like he would be gone until late tomorrow night. He hated having to leave Tegan at this point in the relationship, but it couldn’t be helped. He h
ad been working on this business deal that would be very profitable, and he had to see it through himself. This was one of the biggest gambles in his career. Any other time he would have sent one of his people to handle it.
He woke Tegan two times during the night, unable to keep his hands off her. He woke her up early the next morning by making slow sweet love to her. Afterward, he held her in his arms. She was awake now so he explained that he had to go and when he would return. He told her to go back to sleep and rest as long as she wanted and when she got up she could stay here to wait for him or have his driver take her to Tina’s or any place else she wanted to go. She actually pouted at him and made it really fucking hard to leave as, completely naked, she jerked the covers back and stretched out like a lazy kitten when he walked out of the shower and dressed.
He kissed her one last time and then forced himself to walk away. He was almost to the door as she ran calling his name and jumped into his arms, grinning to give him one last kiss. She was only wearing his shirt, and it wasn’t even buttoned up all the way. Jesus, how was he supposed to leave her now?
“That is just so you don’t forget what’s waitin’ for you when you get back, cowboy,” she told him in that whiskey voice of hers with that southern drawl that made his cock jump.
He laughed, gave her one last kiss, and swatted her on the ass before he left. He forced himself to go to work and almost turned back more than a few times.
She sent him texts all day, which made him smile like an idiot. Apparently Tina had shown up and taken her out for the day.
He closed the deal, which went smoothly. He was very pleased and was ready to get back to Tegan. He couldn’t remember when he had been so happy and content. Being away from her was just killing him.
He had already made plans to take Tegan, Tina, and Marc out on his yacht tomorrow. The weather was still warm enough to go. Tegan had seemed excited about it. He couldn’t wait to see her in a bikini. He even had bought her a few bling to surprise her with. If it were up to him she would be wearing jewels from head to toe and nothing else. Oh yeah, he liked that idea.
