His head jerked up at the sound of her voice. How the fuck had she managed to slip into the kitchen without him knowing?
“Shit. Your ass is in the fire now, huh, boss?” Jake groaned. “I’m gone. Good luck.”
Cooper flipped the phone closed and stared back at Sarah. Her chin was held high, her dress buttoned a little crookedly. She was carrying her sandals in her hand.
Her expression was stoic. There was fear in her eyes.
He stared at her for long seconds, crossing his arms over his chest before he spoke. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
She looked away from him for long seconds, then her eyes came back to him.
“Because I was tired of being someone’s responsibility. For once, I wanted to be someone’s woman instead,” she finally said. “Thank you for today, but I think it’s time I leave now.”
Cooper blinked as she turned and started through the kitchen. Son of a bitch. Had she thanked him for fucking her? Then decided to leave?
He moved after her, catching her before she had taken more than half a dozen steps, and swung her around.
“Oh, it’s not that easy, baby,” he assured her, his voice rough.
He should be madder than hell. He should be raging. Cooper didn’t do responsibility really well. The bar was the biggest weight he wanted on his shoulders, nothing more. At least, until Sarah had knocked him on his ass.
“Why didn’t you tell me who you were?” He held on to her even as she tried to pull away.
“Because I wanted you, not your damned promise made to a man while you were drunk, nor did I want you to feel responsible because you flirted with me, made me want you on a night you most likely didn’t even remember,” she cried out. “I wanted the man I saw that night. The one that was so strong and so playful. A man who didn’t hurt his attackers, just wanted them bruised a little. I wanted the man whose bar my uncle and I would slip into and watch once he learned he was dying. I wanted the man I fell in love with once I arrived here and learned he was so much more than I imagined. I wanted you to want me, Ethan. I didn’t want you to feel responsible for me.”
She jerked back her arm as he stared at her in shock.
“You said you didn’t want love,” he accused her.
“I said I wasn’t looking for love.” She threw him a scathing glance. “I’d already found it. I loved you. It was enough.”
She shook her head, all those wild curls flowing around her.
“You’re free, Ethan.” She opened her arms and stepped back. “No harm. No foul. You gave me more than I dreamed you ever would. And you gave it to me, not because of the memory of a debt.” There was a flash of pride in her eyes, of feminine pleasure and confidence. It made him hard. Made him want to fuck her again. Right there, in the middle of the kitchen floor.
And he was going to do it.
“We’re not finished,” he growled, jerking his belt loose, unzipping his jeans. “Not by a long shot.”
Her eyes widened, her lips parted.
Just in case she had it on her mind to say no, he covered those pouty lips with his own, jerked her into his arms, and lifted her.
“Put your legs around me. Now.” He jerked her dress to her hips, kissed her again as she tried to speak and turned, pushing her against the wall as he tore at her panties, ripping them off her hips. He heard her excitement in the moan that filled the kiss, and felt it in the way her hands dug into his hair. Her lips ate at his, her tongue fought against his.
“Hell, yeah. You love this.” He pulled her closer, shifted his hips until his cock was pressing into her. “Don’t you, Sair? You love my cock.”
“I love you.” She glared back at him.
“Tell me to fuck you.”
A tear slipped from her eye. “Love me, Ethan. Just this once. Love me.”
She made his knees weak.
“Damn you,” he groaned. He slid the crown of his cock inside her and paused, feeling her, so silky, so hot. “Damn you, Sair.”
He pushed into her, easier this time. Slower. He worked his erection into her, feeling all the little caresses, the sucking, milking ripples of her hot little pussy as she took him. So slow. So tight. So much pleasure he felt blinded by it. Felt as though he’d never have enough, could never take her enough to sate his hunger for her.
