“Yes. I’m sure.” She thrust her hips up, taking the first inch or so of him inside her.
She was so tight. God, it wasn’t enough. He needed all of her. Every sexy inch.
“More? I need you to tell me, Laurel.”
“Yes, please,” she murmured, burying her face in his arm and arching her body ever closer.
He didn’t hold back. Didn’t hesitate. He joined them together and found heaven on earth. She was everything he’d ever wanted. Brilliant. Kind. Beautiful. Her body fit to his. Every curve, every part of her made his soul complete as she took him all inside.
Mick threaded the fingers of his right hand with her left and pressed it down flat against the mattress. Her fingers curled over his hand, nails digging into his flesh as she got closer and closer. The tension in her core threatened to send him careening over the edge already. But, he pushed deeper. Harder. His only goal to get her to that place where the world fell away. Where trouble didn’t exist. No worries. No pain. Only pleasure.
“Come for me, sweetheart. Look at me.”
“Mick.” She was breathless. Then she imploded, a soundless scream parted her lips and he drove home again. He claimed her mouth again, growling as he joined her on the journey to bliss.
She was an amazing gift. One he would treasure every second of every day.
Chapter 12
The annoying buzz of his phone roused Mick from one of the best nights of sleep he’d had in years. He slid his arm out from under Laurel’s naked body and rolled toward the edge of the bed to peer at the screen.Chuck Rieves.Strange. He slid out of the bed, trying not to wake Laurel and hissed when his feet hit the cold wood floor slats. He yanked on his boxers and grabbed the phone. “Something wrong, man?” he growled in a low voice as he exited Laurel’s bedroom.
“Yeah, that lady you called us to help move her stuff…Laurel.”
“What is it?” Mick’s chest tightened, worry settling it’s claws into his lungs.
“Linda just got a hit on—” His friend’s hesitation only made Mick’s imagination run wilder.
“Spit it out man.”
“A sex tape.”
What?“What do you mean?”
“Like a home movie. It’s really ugly, man. It’s not a constant video. And it’s been edited to look bad.”
“You watched it?” Anger surged, spreading through his body like a river of fire.
“Piper got the story from the paper. Her boss told her to write a piece for the front page. When she realized it wasyourLaurel she told me to call. She wanted you to know what was happening, in case you could give Laurel some type of warning or heads up.” Chuck’s tone dipped, sincerity and pity thick with each spoken word. “This is gonna be nasty Mick. Piper says it’s already all over social media and some of the big Dallas buzz feeds are picking it up too. I’m sorry.”
“Your wife can’t write about Laurel in the paper. Can’t Piper refuse the story? What kind of asshole does something like this?” Laurel didn’t deserve this. No one did. Her ex must be a real piece of work. His brain raced, working through scenarios where Laurel didn’t leave town and disappear from his life.
“Mick?” Laurel’s voice carried through the doorway from the bedroom.
“Coming,” he answered back, without thinking.
“You’re with her?” Chuck’s tone shot up a notch. “I thought you had some date with a fancy chick from Dallas last night.”
Good God. Nothing in this town is a secret.“How the hell, man?”
“I’m married to a gossip columnist. I know way more about the people in this town than I care too. Plus Edie saw you in the Boiler Room.”
“I’ll talk to you later. You tell your wife to hold off on writing anything. I got a better story for her and I’d rather her out me than make things worse for Laurel.” Mick ran his hands through his hair and sighed.
“Out you for what?”
“Just tell her to wait.”
“I’ll try. But she’s got to put something up by tomorrow morning.”
