Her Every Fantasy (13 page)

She disappeared into the house to get the stuff that she needed. When she returned, Kristen and Keirra were gone. She went ahead and set up the projector so that it would show on the screen that James and Eric had set up for her earlier.

“Hey,
James,
could you . . .” She stopped speaking when she realized that he wasn’t standing there. “Eric, have you seen James?”

He nodded his head in the direction of the corner that her sisters had James hemmed up in.

She gasped as she walked over to the corner.
“
Kristen and Keirra!
”

She was glad to see her
sisters
jump before turning around looking at her with guilty expressions.

“What are you two doing?”

James smiled as he answered for them. “They are making sure that my intentions toward you are good.”

She frowned and placed her hands on her hips. “And the two of you wondered why I wouldn’t bring him around you prior to now.”

James pulled her into his arms. “They have asked pretty tame questions so far.”

She gave him a look. “That is only because they haven’t had you in their grasp long enough.”

He laughed. “It’s okay. Trust me. I have been in their shoes.”

She rolled her eyes at him.
So much for trying to keep him from being interrogated.
“You aren’t supposed to be on their side, but since you are and since you are enjoying yourself, I am going to go ahead and start the presentation. You all stay back here and enjoy yourself.”

She started to walk off but James held onto her, aware of her agitation. “Where are you going?”

“Back to the party to enjoy myself,” she huffed.

“Don’t worry about her, James. She just gets mad when she can’t be in control.”

A look of surprise fell over James’s face at Kristen’s statement.
“Really?”

Her sisters laughed when they realized why James was surprised and why she, turning red in the face, glared at her sisters. Their laughter died down quickly.

Kristen finally stepped forward and hugged her. “We know that this was probably not the best time to do this, but it has been our first opportunity.”

Keirra gave her a leveled look. “As you pointed out yourself, you have kept him from us.”

When Kristen pulled back, Kayla was still a little upset, but not as much. Kristen was right. This was the first time that they had spent with James since the two of them became involved. Still the fact that they were questioning him and not her was nerve-wracking.

“So now, where is my surprise?’

Keirra shook her head. “It is not only your surprise.”

Kristen smiled. “Okay then, where is our surprise?”

Kayla pointed in the direction opposite of which they were standing. “Over there.”

Kayla and Keirra led the way up to where the tables were set up. When everyone was seated, she started the projector and the music. She and Keirra had arranged a compilation of pictures of Kristen and Randy over the years together. The last and most recent was one that she’d managed to sneak after the two had become engaged. Her sister’s smile sparkled just as much as her engagement ring.

When the projector and the music stopped, Kristen had tears in her eyes. Kristen stood up to embrace Kayla and Keirra. “Thank you. I have no idea where the two of you found all of those pictures, but thank you.”

Randy stood up next and gave Kayla a kiss on the cheek. “Thank you for giving me another reminder as to why I would be a fool not to marry your sister.”

Kayla laughed. “And thank you for reminding me of a reason why I shouldn’t kill them.”

Pulling away from James’s tight embrace, Kayla gasped for air and tried to regain control of the situation before it got out of hand.

“We have to stop.”

He groaned as he tried to move closer to her again. “Why?”

“Because I can’t get the door open.”

It took him a moment to realize what she was saying. “Where is the key?”

She deposited it in his hand, and a moment later, he had the door open. “There we go.”

He backed her into the house and closed the door behind them, not giving her a chance to say anything. His mouth found hers again, and he stripped her of her jacket then took care of his own. He scooped her up and carried her upstairs. They hadn’t been able to take their hands off each other since James had convinced her to sneak out of the house with him. Well, for her, it hadn’t really been sneaking. For James, it had, even though he’d informed his father that he was going out after he’d put the kids to bed. By the way they had began steaming up the town with their romance, it was not a shock to anyone to see them together no matter what time it was. James was also busy raising a family and didn’t have a lot of time to spare during the week. That was one of the reasons that she’d agreed to meet him tonight. They had gone for a drive that had ended back at her home with them making out in his SUV.

When she’d suggested that they go inside, he’d followed her happily. After James entered her room, he stood her on her feet. Their clothes disappeared quickly, the next time their bodies touched, they aligned perfectly. She jerked against him, enjoying the sensation of feeling his skin against hers. Her hands automatically came up and touched his chest. She was addicted to the sexiness of his body already. She traced the muscles of his chest with her hands and moved toward the tightness of his abdomen. When she roamed lower, he grabbed her hands.

“You are getting into dangerous territory.”

She looked up at him, passion rushing through her and smiled. “Good. I want to.”

He tried to pull her into his arms, but she stopped him. “I want to pleasure you this time.” She almost shocked herself as she made the bold statement, but she meant it. “I want to pleasure all of you.”

He responded to her desire by pulling her close for a kiss. “You always do,” he stated when he lifted his head. He let her hands go, and she eased them down his stomach until she found his erect manhood. A groan escaped him at the sensation of her hands surrounding him. She seemed to know how to pleasure him simply from his response to what she was doing. She continued to torture him with pleasure until he pulled away from her.

“That’s enough, baby,” he whispered.

She let him go even as she shook her head. “We are just getting started.”

He didn’t have a chance to ask her what she meant because she knelt before him. He emitted a guttural sound at the first tentative touch of her lips. When she opened her mouth and took him inside, he shuddered hard against her.

He put an end to the pleasure she wanted to give him when he reached down, lifted her up, and then placed her on the bed. She couldn’t blame him for lack of gentleness. She felt extremely turned on. Somehow, she ended up on her stomach. He covered her with his body, not giving her a chance to roll over. He reached for some of the pillows on the bed and slid them under her stomach until she was arched sexily toward him. He entered her slowly, and her body gripped him greedily. She moaned, and he closed his eyes.

“Baby, you feel so good,” he whispered. He slid deeper into her before stiffening. Kayla arched into him, and he grabbed her hips.

“Be still, baby.”

“I can’t. You feel too good inside of me,” she moaned.

He eyes, closed an expression of pure torture on his face. “I am sorry, baby, but I forgot protection.”

It was her turn to stiffen once she realized what he had done. The statement should have completely doused her arousal, but it didn’t. She closed her eyes and tried to relax. “What are we going to do?”

He opened his eyes, his body still taut, giving her an idea of how thin a grip he had on his control.

“Give me a moment, and I will pull out.
Because if either of us moves right now, I am going to come inside of you.”

Even though that comment should have scared the hell out of her, it didn’t. Instead, her body contracted involuntarily at the idea.

James groaned in her ear. “Baby, you can’t do that.”

“It was not intentional,” she whispered trying to remain as still as possible.

Several heartbeats later, he was able to withdraw from her as he said he would and without incident. He moved to the side breathlessly. “I am sorry. Unfortunately, I got a little carried away.”

She turned to look at him and saw the apologetic look on his face. “It’s okay. I didn’t help, so I am just as responsible as you are.” He closed his eyes briefly opening them again. She cupped his cheek. “It really is okay.”

She hoped that it would be. The last thing that she needed to worry about was an unplanned pregnancy, but hopefully it wouldn’t come to that. If it did, she and James would figure it out together.

Leaning over, she gave him a kiss pulling back. There was a smile on her face when she spoke. “Hopefully the moment hasn’t been ruined, because I really do want to be with you.”

It was his turn to smile. “I want that too,” he stated his lips met hers.

She brought her hands up and around his neck. Her body was flush with his by the time they came up for air. He reached for protection coming up over her. A mutual moan fell from both of their lips when he entered her again. The sensation for her was totally different. So much so, that she arched against him. Needing him, craving his touch, she rocked against him.

“Yes,” she moaned.

James caught her mouth in another kiss. Every movement of their bodies seemed to be producing mind-blowing ecstasy.

“James, please don’t stop,” she begged.

And he didn’t, continuing to move deep within her. Pleasure raced through her with each thrust until her release hit her like a tidal wave. She cried out his name as her body began to contract. It was enough to make him go over the edge with her. A shout of pleasure escaped from his throat. It was a long time before either of their breathing returned to normal. Once it had, he placed a kiss on her lips. She when he pulled back.

“I think I’m addicted to you.”

A smile appeared on his face that she couldn’t contain. The laughter followed. A few moments later, he withdrew from her and made his way to the bathroom. She lay there for a second before sliding out of bed slipping into her robe.

He looked at her with confusion. “What are you doing?”

“I know that you have to leave soon, and I wanted to walk you out.”

He walked over to her and pulled her into his arms. His hands went for the sash that was keeping her robe together. She looked at him with puzzlement as he undid it.

“Well, you don’t have to worry about that, because I will be staying the night.”

Shock traveled through her. “You don’t have to do that.”

Even as she said the words, she knew that she was lying through her teeth, and his expression told her that he was aware of that as well. She wanted him to stay the night as she always did and hated when he had to leave her after their passionate encounters.

He nodded. “Yes, I do. The last time we were together I wanted to stay with you, but I couldn’t.” He slipped the robe off her shoulders. “This time I can, and I will. I want to feel you in my arms for the night.”

She was speechless. Long enough for him to sweep her up into his arms and carry her back to bed. “What about the kids?”

“Dad is with them, and even though I am nervous about it, I know that he will call if anything goes wrong.”

With that said, there was nothing left for her to say. She’d thought about spending the night in his arms several times, and evidently, so had he. She allowed him to tuck her into his arms and he placed a brief kiss on the back of her head.

“I will spend the night as long as you don’t mind me interrupting your sleep early in the morning.”

She turned her head to look at him. “What time do you plan on getting up?”

The time he mentioned would have made her flinch if it hadn’t been a morning that she was scheduled to run.

“I have to get up and run, so I will probably be up by then.”

Several hours later, she was proved to be wrong. James was the one to turn off the alarm first. She felt him reach across and hit the snooze button. Kayla barely stirred, not wanting to move. James’s mouth found hers for a brief kiss. She stirred slightly and snuggled closer to him then settled again.

He chuckled. “Baby, it is time for me to go.”

Kayla stirred again before opening her eyes. He was studying her intently, making her feel beautiful in more ways than she ever had. She gave him a sleepy smile. “Is it time for you to leave?”

“Yes, I don’t want to go, but I have to get home to get the kids ready for school.”

She moaned as she stretched. He slid out of bed and began getting dressed. She was a little slower to move about, but she finally followed James downstairs. She folded her arms across her chest to keep from reaching for him as he slipped into his jacket. When he was finished, he held his arms out, and she went into them.

“Call me later on.”

He placed a brief kiss on her lips. “I will. Have a good day.”

She sighed. “I will. You do the same.”

* * * *

James gave her one more kiss before opening the door and walking out. Walking away from her was hard, a lot harder than he wanted to admit. When he made it home, the house was still quiet, but he knew that it wouldn’t be for long. He went straight for the shower. By the time he got out, his alarm was going off. He dressed quickly and then began the routine of waking the kids. Jamie was the first. The fact that she’d become interested in makeup and appearance was his reasoning behind that. He woke Jana next, and Jenna followed. When he entered the room that Josh occupied, he couldn’t help but smile. His son looked
so
peaceful as he slept in his crib. He reached in and picked his son up. Seeing his children this morning made him realize two things. The first was that they were okay without him for a little while, and the second was that he hadn’t lived his life in a long time. Jamie walked by the room and paused, concern taking over her expression.

“Is everything okay, Dad?”

He looked at his daughter and released a pent-up breath. For the first time in a long time, he realized that things were.
