Crap! I heard Thane get out of bed. I checked my reflection in the hallway mirror, then saw him appear through the kitchen doorway.
“Where are you going?” he asked, raising his eyebrow. He looked so sexy with bedhead hair. His eyes looked drowsy and a crease from the pillow was across his face. I felt something awaken inside me and knew I’d better leave immediately before dragging him off to bed so he could ravish me.
“I need to get home,” I told him.
He came up behind me and leaned down to brush his lips against my neck, sliding his arm around my waist, so his hand could cup my breast. Desire awakened the burn within, and I wanted him to take me right there on the kitchen table. I imagined him undressing me and sucking on my nipples, spreading my legs, and thrusting deep.
“Come to bed, Darcy. You know you want to,” Thane whispered in my ear. He slid his hand down to my belly and then under my pants, rubbing my clitoris. I could feel my thick juices immersing his fingers as the burn of desire increased. “I want to bury myself deep inside you.”
My heart slammed in my chest as he turned me around and pushed me up against the wall, reaching down to take off my pants as quickly as possible. I reached down to unzip him, and he pulled his cock out. I looked down, and it was staring back at me. I could feel how hard he was when he teased me with his tip, sliding it up and down my aching pussy. I needed to have him inside me. I lifted my leg, resting it on his thigh so he’d have easier access. He didn’t wait. He thrust himself inside me in one smooth movement.
“Fuck me, Thane. Oh my God, fuck me.” I wrapped my arms around his neck and took his lips with mine. He grabbed me and lifted me up so that I could wrap my legs around his waist. The movement caused him to go even deeper, and I cried out. He responded by thrusting faster until I thought I would lose my mind.
“Darcy, I’m going to cum. Are you ready?” Thane said, his voice thick and coarse.
“Please, Thane. I’m going to cum with you,” I said, unable to catch my breath.
He quickened the rhythm until we both exploded, holding each other tight. We didn’t move after but instead listened to the sound of our hearts. I could still feel him pulsing inside and wanted the moment to last forever. I shivered as the air moved through his place.
“I have to go,” I told him as he let me down, and I got dressed. He reached down to kiss me gently until I moaned.
“Don’t turn to ice when you walk through that door,” he said. “Come back tonight.”
My stomach did a flip-flop, and all I could do was nod. How did this go from a onetime situation to a repeating one? I needed to get out of here. He reached to hug me, but I opened the door and was down the stairs and walking to the sidewalk before he could utter another word.
I had just taken the step to get on the sidewalk when an all too familiar car slowed down and turned into Thane’s driveway. I froze. It was Candiss.What is she doing here?Panic rose inside as I thought of all the different scenarios as to why Candiss would be visiting Thane this early in the morning.
I let myself inside the condo and went to my room without running into anyone. After my shower, I went outside to lounge by the pool. I needed some relaxation time before unpacking and doing laundry.
About an hour later, Addison sat on the lounger beside me. “Darcy, you’ll never guess where I’m going tonight.”
I looked at her, happy to see her so excited. “Where?”
“I’m going on a date,” she said, her cheeks getting rosy.
“Oh, really? With who?” I asked.
“I don’t want to say much yet because I don’t want to jinx it. He’s so handsome and successful, Darce. I think I’m falling head over heels for this one,” she told me, clasping her hands together dramatically.
“Can’t you at least tell me his name?” I pressed.
“No. I’m going to wait until we’ve dated a few times.” She stood up and went over to dive into the pool.
That was odd. Addison had always told me everything—and I mean everything, sometimes too much information.What is she keeping from me?
THANE & DARCY
Thane
When the doorbell rang, I smiled. She must have changed her mind. I opened it, grinning, but that grin quickly changed to a frown once I saw who was standing there.
“Well, aren’t you going to let me in?” Candiss asked, eyeing me curiously. I stood there for a moment while I argued with myself. If I let in the woman who had hurt me repeatedly, wouldn’t I just be setting myself up for another fall? However, if I didn’t let her in, then I’d go crazy wondering why she’d come to visit me.
“What are you doing here? I thought you moved back to Tampa?”
She grabbed me in a big hug and laid a passionate kiss on my lips. “Nope. I sold my house, got a job at a pharmacy here in Miami, and I’m here to stay. I’m in the process of buying a house here.”
Shit! I shouldn’t have opened the door.
