“Erik,” she gasped as her leg came to rest on his shoulder. He pushed her other leg farther out, giving him the room he needed. She squirmed underneath his mouth and when he started to f**k her with his tongue, she was thrashing from the pleasure. Her head was spinning as he brought her to the top and when he pressed the pad of his thumb against her clit she came, screaming his name.

“That’s right, baby, come for me,” he muttered against her thighs as he squeezed her pu**y lips together, drawing out her orgasm.

Piper was gasping for breath and she felt like putty under his hands. He moved up her body, kissing her ribs before taking her breast into his mouth. It was so overwhelming that she swore she was going to pass out from the pleasure of it all. When she felt his hand on her face, she opened her eyes to find him looking at her. His eyes were half lidded as he massaged her breast with his hand. He leaned over for a long, lusty kiss before he kicked her legs open and positioned himself between her thighs. Reaching down to her hips, he held them tightly as he looked down at her.

She felt so freaking sexy under his gaze, and when he finally entered her, she squeezed her eyes shut as she gripped the sheets. He filled her so completely it curled her toes. She could feel him pulsating inside her as her walls clenched his hard cock. She wanted him to pound into her but he wasn’t moving. Opening her eyes, she found that he was biting his lips with his eyes glued to her belly.

“What?”

Erik’s fingers bit into her thighs as he said, “I’m not hurting you, right?”

She shook her head quickly. “Quite the opposite actually.”

A grin pulled at his beautiful mouth before a puzzled look replaced it. Still looking down at her belly, he asked, “And this won’t hurt him, right?”

Piper couldn’t shake her head faster enough. “No, now do it. I want you so bad, Erik.”

She watched as he nodded before looking up at her, then moved his hands to cradle her like he did when they were in Vegas. He moved his hands along her abdomen and then glanced back up at her as his hands returned to her hips.

Raising her hips, he moved out of her and then back in, until he found the rhythm that he was looking for. It felt unbelievable and soon Piper was meeting every thrust, gripping her hands tightly around his wrists. Closing her eyes, she enjoyed the pleasure he was giving her. His grunts filled the room along with her cries of abandonment. Thrusting faster, Erik moved his hands above her shoulders, moving inside of her in a frantic need. Dipping his head down, he took her mouth, filling it with his groans as he came hard inside her. Thrusting even harder, he broke their kiss, hissing as he rocked against her.

Piper moved her hands up his back to his neck, bringing him down for another kiss. Erik then slowly moved off her, pulling her into his arms, as their breathing returned to normal. Their legs were still tangled as she tried to get closer to him.

“Sorry it didn’t last that long. It’s been a while.”

She smiled. “It was perfect.”

Erik moved his nose along hers, fully sated. “You drive me insane.”

Piper cuddled into his neck. “And you do the same to me.”

He cupped her face in his large hand, kissing her lips as the world disappeared around them. Only he could do that, only he could stop time with his kisses, take her to a whole different place, make her feel like the most important girl on earth. She closed her eyes tightly, knowing that this was it. He wouldn’t leave. He would stay forever and they would be happy for the rest of their lives. He still had some demons in his closet, but together they could fight them. She had promised Alla she would always be there for Erik and she intended to. She wasn’t going anywhere, and neither was he. They were going to be a family, she just knew it. Or at least she hoped it. In her heart she felt like she had crumbled his walls.

Now all she had to do was hope he loved her, too.

Chapter 17

Erik needed to get out of there.

He didn’t know what had happened, but one minute they were f**king each other senseless and the next he was looking in Piper’s eyes and had almost told her he loved her. Now she lay peacefully and thoroughly loved in his arms, and he felt the need to run. He needed to get out of there and quick, before she woke and gave him a sleepy smile that would bewilder him. His heart was pounding in his chest and he was sure he was about to have a panic attack.

He didn’t understand. How was sex with her so intense? He had banged plenty of females, and enjoyed every single one of them, but this woman, this beautiful, sweet, playful vixen had him in knots. He needed to run. He needed to pack, get Stanley, and run. But then she moved closer to him, tucking her hands in his armpits as her nose cuddled into his neck, her naked body hot against his and he knew he was in trouble. Erik let out a long breath as his hands tightened around her and his dick sprang to attention. She was so hot, so tight, and he couldn’t think around her. She completely clouded his mind.

Detangle yourself from her, Titov; run.

But he couldn’t. He took in another breath as he closed his eyes tight.

“Your heart is racing,” he heard her whisper.

Erik nodded. “Yeah.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

“You can tell me,” she whispered, placing a kiss to the pulsating artery in his neck and then one on his chin, causing his eyes to drift shut.

“I want to run.”

“Run?” she asked, as he opened his eyes to see that she was looking at him.
