Out of breath, she looked at me with a hunger I have never seen. Her look let me know she wanted and needed it too, so I quickly flipped her onto her back.
“I want to see your gorgeous face while I make love to you,” I told her.
Nodding, she pushed herself onto her elbows as I inched toward her. When I reached her, she grabbed my neck and I kissed her again. As I thrust into her, I was overwhelmed with emotions. I knew she would feel incredible, but this was so much more than that. Our bodies moved as if they were made for each other. It felt right. This is where I was supposed to be. I wanted to savor this moment but she felt so damn good I was not sure how long I could last. I slid in and out and began to quicken my pace as her orgasm built around me which only intensified my pleasure. She grabbed onto my shoulders and let out a silent yell as we tipped over the edge together, but it wasn’t enough. I wanted more. I needed more.
I made love to her over and over again until early morning when we both fell asleep.
I finally felt like I was home.
Chapter Eighteen
Katya
Iopenedmyeyesand saw the sun starting to peek through the blinds. It was still early and for a moment, I wasn’t sure where I was. I realized that someone was next to me but it wasn’t Luca. This was an adult, a very large, muscular adult. When I realized it was Zane, last night’s events flooded back to me. I should have been thrilled, but instead, an anxiety attack threatened to take over. My brain was screaming.
Oh, My God! What have I done? I just slept with my boss!
Technically, Zane wasn’t myboss, but he was still someone who agreed to pay me for a job, and now, I might’ve just ruined everything by letting my desire get the best of me. I had to get out of there. I prayed Luca was still asleep so I could get dressed before he found me in Zane’s bedroom.
I slid out of the bed as quietly as I could and tiptoed to find my clothes in the den. I didn’t regret last night, in fact, it was the most incredible night of my life with such as sensitive partner who cared about making me feel good, but I had no way of knowing how Zane would feel when he woke up, and I needed to get to work. After I got dressed, I heard Kenlee waking up in her crib. She was cooing and hiccupping, and I knew it was only a matter of seconds before she started screaming in the way only a sleepy baby could. She would wake Zane, and I wasn’t ready to face him just yet. I ran and scooped Kenlee out of her crib, and thankfully she didn’t start howling right away. I changed her, fed her, but then she started fussing again, so I took her out into the hallway to try and calm her down. Luca trailed behind me, and I handed him the key to our room and told him to go get ready.
It was the weekend, and usually, Aleks watched Luca while I went to work on days that my son didn’t have school. Obviously, that wasn’t an option today, so as I bounced Kenlee on my hip, I used my free hand to get my phone out and call Addie, who answered after the first ring.
“Katya?”
“Hey, Addie—”
“Oh, thank God! Do you have any idea how worried I have been about you? I haven’t heard from you in two days, so I went by your place to see how you were holding up after I saw Alek’s arrest all over the news, only to find it trashed and you not there! I thought you were dead somewhere and I would never see you again!” I could tell she was crying, and I felt downright awful.
My heart was in my stomach. How could I do this to my closest friend? Addie has always been there when I needed her and I got so caught up in my own drama that I completely forgot to fill her in. With everything that happened in the last few days, it slipped my mind. I wasn’t proud of my selfishness but that’s what happened. My justification didn’t ease my guilt.
“Addie, I am so sorry. I know I should have called. Luca and I are fine. A lot has happened so quickly that I forgot to call. I feel terrible. I am the worst friend ever. I know that is a horrible excuse, but it’s the truth. Can you ever forgive me?” I asked.
I closed my eyes and prayed she found it in her heart to forgive me. But I also knew I would be livid if she’d done the same, and I could only imagine the horrible thoughts she had when she saw the apartment destroyed. She knew Aleks and what he was capable of.
After a moment, she let out a long breath and was quiet before she responded. “Of course, I forgive you, sweetheart. I was just scared. You and Luca are like family to me and the thought of losing you made me a little crazy. I am sorry for going all ‘Mommy Dearest’ on you but if you ever pull a stunt like this again… well, let’s just say, I won’t be sitting around waiting by the phone. Next time, I’m calling the cops.”
I was not sure who Mommy Dearest was, but I laughed to myself and smiled as I said, “There’s no need for you to apologize. I was the one who was wrong, and I promise I will explain everything to you later today but I do have to work so I was wondering if –“
Cutting me off before I could finish she said, “Stop right there. I already know what you are going to ask and you already know the answer is yes. Just tell me where you are and I will come get my sweet boy,” she said in a voice with no room for argument. Not that she was going to get one.
I gave her the address to the lodge and my room number, and she said she was leaving right then. After we hung up, Kenlee was thankfully starting to calm down, so I thought now would be a good time to put her back in her crib. I turned to open Zane’s door, and then realized my mistake. I’d locked myself out.
“Oh shit,” I said under my breath. I didn’t know what to do. If I knocked that would
obviously wake Zane up, and the whole point of going out into the hall with Kenlee in the first place was to avoid seeing him just yet. Then again, it wasn’t like I could just walk away with a baby that wasn’t mine. Not without at least leaving a note to let Zane know I had her. Sighing, I looked down at the sweet baby girl in my arms and she smiled up at me.
“What do you think we should do?”
Instead of answering my question, Kenlee just spit up on my shirt and then started giggling.
“Alright, well, that answers that question,” I said, hiking her further up on my hip. “What we’re going to do first is go change my shirt. Yes, we are! Yes, we are.” I ran down the hall and slipped into my room. I told Luca to get ready to spend the day at Addie’s and then I put Kenlee down on my bed as I washed myself off and changed clothes. Ten minutes later, I heard a knock on my door. Luca answered it, and I sighed with relief when I heard Addie’s voice coming from down the hall. I grabbed Kenlee and went to greet her, and she wrapped me up in a big hug the moment she saw me.
I was so happy to see her. I didn’t realize how badly I needed a hug from my “mom.” I had never told her that I thought of her this way but I think she knew. And after the conversation this morning, I think it was safe to say she felt the same. She released me and bent down to hug Luca who was already jumping up and down for her. He loved Addie and I was so glad he had her in his life. As she looked back at me, she seemed to only just then realize I had a baby in my arms and gave me a questioning look.
“Part of the story I will tell you later,” I explained.
“Ok… but make sure I getallthe information and details. I have a feeling this is one hell of a story.”
