Propositioning Mr. Raine Read online

  “Oh wow.”

  “Yeah.” He winked, grinning widely. “I’m excited about that one too.” He moved behind her, slowly withdrawing from Trina’s body.

  “Climb up on the bed for me, babe.”

  Groaning, she forced herself to move. She lifted up to her hands and knees on the bed and started to crawl away. Navarro laughed while he pulled off her high heels. After tugging back the covers, she sat on the sheet. She removed her bra, just tossing it toward the floor, as her gaze went to Navarro before she looked down.

  “Um, how do I take this off?” She eyed the small toy still strapped to her.

  “You don’t.”

  “The straps aren’t that damn comfortable to sleep in.”

  He chuckled as he walked naked toward her. “Who said we were going to sleep right away? I want a repeat in about fifteen damn minutes when we’re both recovered.” He climbed on the bed next to her and sat facing her to take her hand while he played with her fingers. Their gazes locked. “Just to make sure that is a winning toy and it wasn’t a fluke we need to try it again.” He opened his other hand, which held the controller.

  She laughed. “Okay. Tell me about the rest of the toys you bought.”

  He shook his head. “You’ll find out later this week.”

  “Tease.”

  “I aim to please, so I’m not one.”

  She stared into his eyes. “You always do please me. I never knew sex could be like this. Thank you.”

  “It’s not always like this.” His look softened. “It’s us together, babe.”

  She smiled at him. “You make me feel special when you say things like that.”

  “You are.”

  She gazed into his eyes, seeing sincerity there. “So are you.”

  “I missed sleeping with you.” His fingers stopped playing with hers. “How would you feel about sleeping here every night?”

  Her heart almost stilled. “If I did, it would be like we lived together and you said you needed a few nights to rest.”

  He chuckled. “River called today and he’s coming home for a while. Adam and I will have extra help so I can take naps during the day if I need them and hell, I don’t sleep so well without you. I think about you and just wish you were in my bed when you’re not with me.”

  She swallowed. “If I’m here every night we’d be living together, right?”

  He nodded. “Is it such a bad idea? I admit, I never thought I’d want to live with a woman again but hell, I want you here with me. I love waking up with you in the mornings.”

  “You just like my omelets.”

  Laughing, he leaned over to brush his lips over hers. “Let’s try it. I’m a little afraid myself and I’m sure you are too, but hell, I still want to give it a try. It…” He hesitated. “It feels right.”

  “This is really scary.”

  “I know.” His hand tightened on hers. “Take a chance with me.”

  She found herself nodding as she stared into his eyes. “Okay but we’re being totally honest, right? If one of us needs a break, we’ll speak up.”

  “We’ll be totally honest.”

  “Okay.”

  Grinning, he chuckled. “Tomorrow, bring your clothes here.”

  Reality sank in for Trina at that moment, the full weight of it making her heart speed up. “We’re really going to do this, then? We’re really going to try to live together?”

  He nodded. “We sure are.”

  The moment of panic that had hit her started to ease. This was Navarro and he wanted her. This was her chance to be happy with a man she’d fallen in love with.

  “So what do you want me to do around here to help out?”

  He laughed. “You could always bake but if you do you’re going to have to help me work it all off or you’re going to have to put me on a diet.”

  “I’d lo—” She slammed her mouth closed, horrified at what she’d almost said.

  Navarro’s eyes narrowed. “What?”

  “Nothing.”

  He arched a black eyebrow. “Total honesty, babe. Finish what you were going to say.”

  She looked away from him, her cheeks warming as she blushed.

  “Trina… Don’t make me get it out of you.” He smiled and hit the button on the remote.

  She jerked at the startling sensation of the vibrator against her clit on the strongest setting. She closed her eyes, bit her lip, and let the pleasure grip her. The vibrator turned off suddenly. Her eyes opened.

  “That was mean.” She smiled.

  “Babe, if you don’t tell me what you were going to say I’m going to hog tie you and do that over and over until you finish that damn sentence. We’re being totally honest with each other, remember?”

  “I was going to say…” Her eyes met his and she blushed again. “I’d love you even if you gained a ton of weight.”

  She waited for him to tense, frown, or react negatively to her words but instead he smiled, his eyes lighting up. He dropped the remote on the bed, reached for her and his hand cupped her face.

  “Do you love me?”

  She tried to look away but Navarro moved closer, putting his face inches from hers, holding her face immobile as she gazed back at him. She loved his damn eyes, could stare into them all day long, she decided. He smiled at her.

  “Say it to me, babe. Please?” His voice lowered to a husky tone.

  Trina knew he had her and she had given herself away by a slip of the tongue. She took a deep breath and expelled it slowly. He had asked for the truth so she’d give it to him.

  “I…love you. I don’t know how it happened so damn fast but I do.”

  He grinned. “Thank God.”

  Her eyebrows shot up in surprise. “Thank God?”

  He nodded, grinning. “You think I just wanted you to live with me for sex every damn night? I’m so damn nuts about you that it isn’t funny. I knew I loved you the night you let me rope and brand you. I suspected then that I was falling for you hard and fast but I’m a fighter. I resisted but when you straddled my lap to let me brand your skin with that rope… Damn, babe, you branded me right back.”

  She reached up to grip his jaw. “Say it to me.”

  He moved closer so their lips almost brushed. “I love you, Trina.”

  She threw herself at him, her body slamming into his. He laughed and caught her as they tumbled back on the bed, his body cushioning hers as they fell flat. Trina ended up sprawled on top of him as she kissed him. Navarro reached for something, his arm stretching out, and suddenly she cried out into his mouth as her clit started to vibrate hard. He’d found the remote.

  Navarro rolled them so he was on top of her. He spread her thighs, entering her in one hard motion, burying his cock deep. He pinned her under him with the vibrator on high. Trina tore her mouth from his so she didn’t bite him and threw her head back from the sheer pleasure he was giving her. Navarro started to ride her hard and fast, his body powered against her and inside her.

  “Oh God.”

  “Say my name,” he ordered as he twisted his hips, changing the angle of his cock inside her, driving into her over and over.

  “Navarro!”

  She cried out his name as she came minutes later, feeling him coming with her as he jerked on her, groaning softly.

  When she opened her eyes after recovering from the intense orgasm, Navarro was smiling at her. He still had her pinned under him and she realized he’d turned off the vibrator. She reached up since he’d lifted his chest a little off her body to give her plenty of breathing space and teased his nipple. Their gazes locked.

  “You know this is crazy, right?”

  He chuckled. “So?”

  She nodded. “We’ll be crazy together.”

  “It is going to be a hell of a lot of fun.”

  She laughed. “Yeah. It will be. I have the best time with you.”

  He slowly withdrew from her body to sit up on his knees. He gripped hers and pushed them up. “I love that you’r
