“Baby, I know you’re tired and you probably have work to do, but I can’t stay away tonight. Let’s make a deal. I’ll leave you alone to work for a few hours, but later, I’ll come back. I want to spend the night in bed with you.”
I went to answer him, but he stopped me with a finger on my lips. “I’m not asking you to do anything other than lie in my arms and let me hold you. Would I like more, hell yeah, but I’m not going to rush you. I might have blue balls, but it won’t kill me, I hope,” he said, with a grin on his face. I slid my hand down to cup his large erection pressing at his zipper. It was a bold move for me. I gently squeezed him. He groaned and closed his eyes.
“I think that would be a great idea. I want to sleep in your arms too, Jake. More than you know. I hate to have you leave, but I do need to do a few hours of work.”
“If you let me take care of you, you won’t need to do any. I want you to think about that. I know you’re a proud, independent woman. I don’t want to take that away, but I hate to see you work yourself to death. I want to take care of you and the kids. I have the means.”
“Jake, I love you for that. It means more than you know. However, a cop doesn’t make that much money. You don’t get paid nearly enough for what you do and risk. Even if we’re together, I’d still have to work.”
He shook his head. “No, you won’t. Once I’m patched in, I’ll start to get a bigger share in the profits from the various club businesses. Even if I don’t get patched, I have money. I have investments and other money.”
“Wow, you must have been saving since you started working. Smart.”
“I didn’t at first. I dabbled in it but didn’t get super serious with it until after I lost Frankie. No one knows this but Nyssa, but when Frankie died, she had a will. She left me as her beneficiary. She’d already changed it in anticipation of the wedding. I hated it and didn’t want it, but Nyssa assured me she would want me to have it. I didn’t want tainted money from her father’s illegal drug business. Nyssa was able to prove to me it wasn’t from that. Apparently, Frankie’s mom had come from money. She had ensured her children would get her money when she died, not her husband. As the only girl, Frankie got more than her brothers. Her mom knew they’d inherit her husband’s wealth. Her mom didn’t want her to have to be dependent upon a man. Their marriage was less than a happy one.
“She had been smart to ensure when she married Matteo, her money was put in trust for her. He wanted a tie to her rich family bad enough that he agreed. I think he thought over time he’d get her to sign it over. He was wrong. She saw him for what he was and kept the trust. I have enough money. I don’t have to work if I don’t want to, but I do. That’s why you never have to think for a second that you have to. If you need security, I’ll place a chunk of that money into a trust for you and the kids, so you know I could never leave you destitute.”
To say I was shocked was an understatement. Here was a man I wasn’t even engaged to, offering to take some of his wealth and give it to me, just so I’d feel safe. I placed my hands on his face and caressed his jaw. I stared deeply into his eyes.
“I love you for that, Jake. I can’t tell you how much that means to me, but you don’t have to do that. Keep your money. As for me working, why don’t we table that until later? Right now, I have things and clients I feel I can’t just abandon. We’ll see what the future brings. I think I’ll take you up on your offer. Give me a few hours to work and then come back. I’ll give you one of the keys in case you need to get in and I’m in bed or the shower.”
He answered by kissing me senseless. I was ready to say the hell with work when he stopped then stood up. He placed me on my feet. “Valkyrie, I’m sorry, but I have to go or else I won’t. Give me the key and I’ll see you later. Is midnight late enough?”
I went to the drawer in the kitchen and dug out the spare keys that were on a keychain. I gave one to him. “Midnight is good. I’ll see you then.” I gave him a kiss but made sure to keep it short and sweet.
It was with great reluctance on both our parts that he walked out the door. As soon as he did, I didn’t waste time. I had work to do. Come midnight, I planned to be in bed waiting for him. Law thought he’d be returning to sleep with me. I had a surprise for him. I planned to see if I could convince him to do much more than that. I was going to embrace these feelings and let them loose. The hell with being cautious. If I got burned, then so be it. I was tired of not living.
The next few hours flew by while at the same time they dragged. It was hard to concentrate on what I was doing. Finally, I had to stop and put it away. All I was doing was making a mess of it. Instead, I went to my room and ran a bath. I wanted to prepare myself for the night ahead. I used my scented soap to wash. I shaved every surface to ensure I was baby smooth. I gave myself a facial then dried my hair, so it hung in long waves down my back.
I didn’t have any really sexy lingerie, so I had to settle for a cute short and spaghetti strap set Soleil had bought me for Christmas. She’d been teasing me about getting out there and finding a man. She told me I was too young to be alone. At the time, I’d humored her. Now, I was glad I had it. It was made of a silk fabric that was edged in pretty lace. It was the soft lace not the scratchy stuff. It clung to my curves and made me feel sexy. The feel of the silk against my nipples made them harden. The final step was to rub scented lotion into my skin, all over my body.
I got into bed and waited. To pass the time and to help beat down my nerves, I read a book. It was one of those steamy romances. I’ll admit, it was about a motorcycle club. I found I had a love for those and they were a guilty pleasure. As I got lost in the story, I grew more aroused. The things the hero was doing to the heroine in the book was turning me on. I was curious to know if those things really felt that good. I had a whole list of things I was curious about when it came to sex. I wondered what Law would be willing to explore with me.
I was caught up in a very hot scene. I was so engrossed, I didn’t notice my bedroom door open until Law was practically standing beside the bed. I jumped and let out a squeak when I saw him. I dropped my e-reader and pressed a hand to my racing heart. “God, Jake, you scared the hell out of me. I didn’t hear you come in.”
“I know. You were awfully lost in whatever you’re reading. Tell me, was it sexy and dirty? Are you reading one of those romance novels where the woman gets ravished?”
I could hear the teasing tone of his voice. As I struggled to find my voice and decide if I should confess I had been or not, he started to strip. That’s when I noticed his boots weren’t on. He must have taken them off by the front door. I held my breath as he stripped off his cut, which he laid carefully over the chair by the bed. As soon as it was safely handled, he yanked his t-shirt off by grabbing behind his neck and taking it over his head. It was a move guys could do. I’d get tangled in it or it would get caught on my breasts.
I got my first look at his naked chest. He was covered in muscles and delectable tattoos. I hadn’t known how hot tats were until I started to hang around the club. Law’s made me want to explore them. Slowly, he lowered his hands to his belt. He undid it then the button and zipper. He paused before pushing them down.
“Are you sure you’re okay with me sleeping with you tonight? This is your last chance. If I take off these jeans, I’m in that bed with you, Tonya.”
I answered him by throwing back the covers. He groaned as he took in the outfit I had on. He shoved his jeans to his ankles, stepped out of them and threw them on the chair. He left on his briefs, which molded to him. I could see he was erect and like before, I knew he was big. If that bulge was anything to go by, he was much bigger than Dan.
I shoved thoughts of him out of my mind. I wasn’t going to think about him. Tonight, this was about me and Law. He quickly got into bed beside me. His arms tugged me to him and his mouth landed on mine. He kissed me like a starving man. I kissed him back equally as starved.
Our lips, teeth and tongue explored each other’s mouth while our hands mapped out our upper bodies. I traced his pecs and the muscles of his ribs and stomach. He was busy tracing my breasts and teasing my hard nipples to peaks even more. I shuddered when he raked a nail across my left nipple. He lifted his mouth.
“Do you like that, baby? Is this okay? I know I promised we’d only sleep, but I couldn’t resist a taste. I’ll stop if you want.”
I grabbed his hand which he’d lifted away from my nipple and placed it back on my left breast. “No, don’t stop. I know what you said, but I don’t want us to just sleep tonight. I want us to do more. I want to find out what it’s like to be with you fully.”
“Jesus, please tell me fully means you want to make love,” he groaned. He sounded like he was hurting.
“I do. Make love to me, Sir. Make me yours in every way. I’m ready.”
It was like he was released from a chain. He growled and the next thing I knew, he was bearing me back onto the mattress. He was hovering over top of me. The fire in his eyes grew.
