“For what?”Colton lifts me to sit on his lap, changing the angle of his penetration, and a moan slips from my lips even as tears fall from my eyes.“Echo, please talk to me.”
“What if this doesn’t last?What if tomorrow you realize I’m not really what you want?”I sound desperate even to my own ears, but I can’t stop the words falling from my lips.“You’ve wrecked me for all other men.What do I do then?”
He kisses me deeply.“Babe, can you please not worry about us breaking up while I am making love to you?And I’m happy if I’ve wrecked you for all other men, it just means you’ll never leave me.”He wipes the tears from my cheeks.
I frown at his words.He is way to casual about all of this.I need to make sure he understands what I am saying because I really don’t want to end up with a broken heart.
“I need to be sure this is it for you.I’ve been in love with you for as long as I can remember.It will kill me if you change your mind.”I tell him the truth.
My back hits the bed once more and Colton leans over me.He drags his length out before pushing back in, his tempo building.His thrusts feel angry, but he is smiling at me and unless my imagination has really gone off the rails, I can see love in his gaze.
My nails rake down his back.His hand snakes between us and finds my clit, rubbing harshly at the sensitive nub.My orgasm steals my breath and I have black dots in my vision.Colton gives two more thrusts before his entire body goes rigid.
Afterward, he turns, cradling me to his side, half splayed over his chest, his cock still inside me.
“Now you can’t leave me.No matter what lies Sasha told you, or what crazy ideas your mind cooks up about how I may or may not feel about you,” he sounds pretty impressed with himself.
“It’s just sex Colton,” I look up at him.I’m trying to be realistic about the situation.“No matter how good it was.”
He hums with a satisfied smirk as he caresses my back.“And if you’re pregnant?”
Shock courses through me at his words.“You jackass!”I slap at his chest.“What were you thinking?”
In the heat of the moment, it never even crossed my mind, but I am sure we didn’t use any protection.
“I was thinking that you wanted to know if I was serious.I was thinking a little girl who looked just like you, is exactly what we need in this house.I was thinking,” he kisses me again, “that I’m just as scared as you are.I’m terrified that you’ll realize that I’m not who you think I am, and I will have to start over again.I was thinking I can’t let my second chance get away.”
“So you decided to try to knock me up?”The anger has faded from my voice.
“Seemed as good an idea as any.”
“And if I’m not pregnant?”
“Then I will just keep on trying,” he smiles before thrusting his semi-hard cock back into me.
Chapter Six
Aftermath
Colton
It’s been four days since the fire.Four long days since I thought I might lose Echo before I even had a chance.We are happy, living in our own little bubble.The only dark cloud that still hangs over us is the fire investigation.
Echo’s insurance won’t pay out until they have a definitive answer on the cause of the fire, and it is breaking her heart to see her bakery this way.Which is why I am at the White Bridge Police Department, trying to get some answers.
“Fire Chief Black, how can I help you today?”the desk sergeant asks, probably recognizing me from the article the local paper ran after the fire.
“I need to speak to the person in charge of the Lewis fire investigation.The one at Cake My Life.”
“Such a shame about that.Echo makes the best macarons.”He types on his computer for a moment before looking around and pointing.“You’re in luck.There is Detective Conrad.”
“Thank you,” I say sincerely as I make my way over to the other man.“Detective Conrad?”I ask as I approach.
“Yes, how may I help you?”
“I’m Colton Black, with the fire department.I was wondering if you have a moment to discuss an open arson case.”
“You’re the new chief?”At my nod, he gestures to a chair beside his desk.“What can I help you with?”
