Standing, she said in her sexiest voice, “What are you waiting for?”

Chapter 32

Before the door was even shut, Sean had her in his arms, kissing her wildly. Gasping, he said, “I crave you constantly.”

He held her to him, lifted her off her feet, and kicked the door shut behind him. “It’s been so hard to wait. I’ve wanted you every minute, every second we’ve been together.”

“Take me. Please. I want you so much.” Adrianna lifted her arms and Sean pulled her shirt off over her head, leaving the tiny gold necklace with its intimate message. Then pulled
his own shirt off.

Adrianna ran her hands over his hard chest and his bulging biceps. He covered her mouth with his, their tongues rubbing together, searching. Sean reached behind and undid her bra, letting it slip off to the floor. He cupped her bare breasts, squeezing softly, making her moan.

“My love, my love,” he whispered, followed by a flurry of kisses down her neck and over the soft flesh of her naked breasts. Then he sucked at her nipples, and Adrianna’s panties got wet; she could feel it between her legs. Clawing at his shoulders, she arched her back, wanting him so much.

Quickly, Adrianna slipped off her shoes, as did Sean. Then he pulled off her shorts and panties. And she rapidly undid the button of his pants, sliding them down in unison with his briefs. His thick, heavy length sprang free, and unable to resist, Adrianna wrapped her fist around it.

God, he felt good. Then, gently, so gently, she raked her fingertips along the side, feeling the swollen veins and taking in his desire. Sean groaned deeply and grabbed her ass. He lifted her up against him and carried her to a big soft chair. He sat, and Adrianna straddled him, still touching his cock.

Lowering her mouth and taking just the head, she sucked.

“Aaaah, no.” Sean pulled her up and took her into a hard kiss. He stroked her back and then he gripped under her ass, pressing her deeper into the hot kiss. With his tongue, he delved deep, feeling around her mouth, her tongue, then licking and biting her lower lip. It was as though he couldn’t get enough of her.

And she was the same, cupping his balls, losing herself in his kiss. Wanting to feel everything, to touch him everywhere, Adrianna ran her palms over his skin. The sensation of his rock-hard muscle under her hand, the bulges and crevices, turned her on. She reached down, exploring the ripple of his washboard abs, touching against his hot member as she did so.

Sean lifted her up on her knees and she looked down at him. Like a Greek god, he was so virile and masculine, beautifully sculptured. He put his palms on her ribs, feeling her like she was a valuable treasure. He reached up, covering her breasts with his hands, his eyes partly closed.

“You are gorgeous. Adrianna, you have no idea how good you look to me.” His hands slid down her body, resting on her hips, and he continued to look at her in awe.

He guided her up so each knee now rested on the padded arms of the chair, and she had her hands on his shoulders for support. Holding her ass, he pressed her forward to bury his face in the patch of hair. Adrianna panted softly, and Sean kissed her over and over, right on her sex.

“Ah, ah,” she panted, and felt his tongue slid into her wetness. Holding on, she tried to maintain composure but could not.

Sean licked and sucked in an erratic pattern, making her crazed. Whimpering and gasping, she gave in to his sweet mouth. He swirled his tongue around her tight clit, again and again. Adrianna was going to lose it.

Her body trembled and she dug her nails into Sean’s skin. He sucked softly then dipped his tongue into the cream pouring out of her. His tongue—it was too much to bear. Her nipples stiffened and her swollen breasts ached.

In the bright room, straddling the chair, Adrianna offered herself to him with delicious abandon. It felt so good. Her body stiffened and she looked down at her love with his face buried in her. The sight was so erotic she felt a heavy pulse deep in her core.

Unrelenting, Sean stimulated her, first directly, then he leaned back to blow on her most sensitive area. He took her to the precipice but refused to push her off, always backing it down before she could release. One of the times he leaned back to blow on her, Adrianna caught sight of his huge cock. It looked so thick, so needy, and she wanted to touch it badly but was unable to move.

Repeatedly, Sean pushed her higher before bringing her back down, just a little. And each time was more intense than the last, more exhilarating. She wished for him to lean back again, craving the sight of his hot erection. And when he did lean back, she could see his thick knob and the pre-cum seeping out the top.

The sight of it drove her mad. Yet she was fixed above him, her legs spread wide, his mouth sending her to new levels of pleasure. At last, she didn’t think she could take more. Adrianna’s muscles stiffened and her tiny clit turned rock hard. Her core convulsed, sending her whole body into ecstasy she could not resist.

At the moment she screamed and felt the first powerful wave roll though her, Sean leaned back a little and blew against her pulsating sex. Right then, she saw his gorgeous cock stiffen like a rod, and white cum began to spurt from the top. No longer able to blow on her, Sean panted heavily and groaned.

Adrianna came powerfully, waves of pleasure pounding through her, and all the while she looked down. Watching Sean come hard, while she spiraled into heavy sensation, was unbelievable. The look of him—so male, rugged, and yet vulnerable—was something to see.

Panting and moaning, Sean came for a long time. Hot white cum, spurted up, covering his belly. Adrianna breathed heavily, and emitted a low whine throughout. When she no longer had strength, finally she let go of Sean’s shoulders and clutched the back of the chair behind him. Folding over, she put her cheek next to his and then reached between Sean’s thighs.

His cock was still hot and so sensual. Adrianna got down from the chair arms and kneeled in front of her amazing man. Breathing in his musky, male scent was like a drug. She stroked his thighs and kissed his cock. Then she reached up to touch his face.

“Oh my God, Adrianna.” Sean uttered the expletive through gasps, still breathing heavily.

“I didn’t know that could happen,” she whispered. “You came without me touching you.”

“Oh my God,” he said again then pulled her up into his arms, pressing her against his chest. He held her that way, with one hand buried in her hair and the other at the base of her spine. She could feel the pound of his pulse.

A few minutes passed with Adrianna content, wrapped in the warmth of their love. She fingered strands of his hair and caressed his neck. Sean lovingly stroked her arms and her back. Then he stood, taking her with him, and she wrapped her legs around his waist. In the master bath, he lowered her until she was standing, and then used towels to clean them both off.

His careful ministering was starting to turn her on, and she realized that she’d never come down from the closeness they’d just experienced. In fact, she wanted him more than ever. Kneeling before her, Sean gently touched her thighs then across her belly. Adrianna could see his cock swelling.

It started with one kiss on her hip. But when Sean looked up at her, the pure lust in his eyes was evident.

“Sean,” she whispered.

He kissed her thigh and then her other hip. Adrianna touched his cheek encouragingly.

“My love,” he groaned deep in his throat.

Sean stepped back to a leather-covered seat, intended for use at the vanity. It was wide and deep. Adrianna straddled him once again, only this time she fisted his cock, guiding it to her wet opening. He was hard for her, ready again, which made it all the more exciting. He couldn’t get enough of her it seemed.
Nor she of him.

Leaning back on his hands for support, Sean watched Adrianna lower herself over him. His loud moan told her how good it felt. She was so wet, he slipped in easily, filling and stretching her.
Undulating her hips, Adrianna purposefully excited him more.

He was in her so deep, filling an urgent need. She wanted it to last, because it felt too good. At first, Sean let her control the motion, his eyes glistening with desire. But wanting him as she did, Adrianna couldn’t hold back. Moving up and down, she gradually increased the speed.

“Slower,” Sean whispered, sitting up and holding her waist to keep her still.

Without moving, Adrianna felt his cock, hot and hard, inside. It was too wonderful, too right. She felt inseparable from him and wished he could be deep within her forever. She never wanted him to go. Involuntarily, her inner muscles convulsed and Sean’s eyes got big.

“Still,” he whispered. “Be very still.” But he was panting, slow and deep.

The sensation got to be too much, and Adrianna whimpered. She wanted to move very badly, wanted Sean, wanted everything. She clutched Sean’s arms, and he reached up to caress her breasts. Her distended nipples hardened, so tight it was uncomfortable. When Sean flicked them with the tip of his tongue, she whimpered again.

Her breathing was rapid, her pulse racing. Sean swelled inside her, and another deep pulse went through her. “Sean…I can’t…”

Suddenly, Sean began to rock into her, bouncing her up and down, fucking her. He groaned through his heavy panting, and Adrianna screeched. Propelling into another release, more intense than the last, she couldn’t hold back the powerful sensations. It was such consuming pleasure, it exploded inside her.

Yelling, she came, feeling Sean release at the same time. Hard and heavy, he gave her everything and her strong inner muscles convulsed around him. Together they rose into release, rocking in tempo and pounding into each other. Adrianna screamed loudly, drowning out Sean’s deep groans. Falling down the other side, she pressed his head to her chest, loving him so much.

When at last they relaxed, Sean filled the deep tub with warm water and turned on the jet sprays. He lowered her in, and then sank down next to her, leaning his head back against the edge. Adrianna closed her eyes, letting the warmth seep in and the jets massage her. Being with Sean, loving
Sean, was the best thing that had ever happened. She looked over to see him smiling at her, looking very satisfied indeed.

Throughout the day, it seemed they couldn’t keep their hands off each other, nor did they want to. Finally they worked their way to the bed and made love once again on the cool sheets. In each other’s arms, they drifted into a peaceful afternoon sleep, but woke some time later and snuggled together, feeling and touching, until both were aroused. It seemed there was no end to the desire they felt for each other, or the love that filled their hearts.

Chapter 33

Sean stayed at the hotel with Adrianna all weekend and into the next week. He wasn’t in a hurry to leave, as being alone with her was one of the best times of his life. The second day, he’d stopped by his apartment to get his laptop while Adrianna enjoyed the spa facilities. He figured that after everything she’d been through, some relaxation and tender loving care were in order.

Though he had no intention of working during the romantic getaway, Sean did have some details to attend to. Over the days, when Adrianna was otherwise occupied, he emailed and made some calls. And things were working out. He knew they would. He just hadn’t known how difficult it would be to make them right. Easier than he’d thought. Mathew Brooks wasn’t as all powerful as his overblown ego would have him believe.

One morning at a quaint coffee bar they’d become fond of, Sean ordered freshly baked scones and fruit. Adrianna opted for one of the specialty teas, and he chose a double espresso. The place was bright and welcoming, nestled into the historic nineteenth-century brownstones of Newberry Street.

Inside, it was homey with brick interior walls and dark wood seating. He picked up their tray, and carried it to a polished counter along the front window. The aroma of baked goods and freshly ground coffee filled the shop.

Sean took a sip his espresso and put the small ceramic cup on its saucer. He reached over to push back a strand of Adrianna’s long hair. She was dressed
in a stretchy top and matching jogging shorts, showing her curves to best advantage. And she wore the powder blue tennis shoes he’d gotten for her.

Sitting on a stool next to him, Adrianna nibbled a piece of melon, and tickled Sean’s calf with her toes. “You are amazing.”

Sean grinned. “No,
you
are amazing.” And he meant it. The days he’d spent with Adrianna were memorable, and he was grateful to have her in his life.

“
Which reminds me…”

“What?” Adrianna smiled, her eyes sparkling. It was so good to see. In such a short time, she’d blossomed like a flower, and the dark shadow that had followed her for so long held less sway.

Sean looked at her admiringly. Around her neck, Adrianna wore the delicate gold necklace of the special word.
Taken
, that was what she was. And it was going to stay that way.

“Guess who owns the office building where I leased my new office?”

Adrianna frowned. “A real estate tycoon, one of my father’s business associates.”

“Carl Wade.” Sean waited for the words to sink in.

Her eyes widened, and recognition dawned. “Brian’s father? Oh, God.”

Sean grinned.

“I don’t know why you are grinning. That’s terrible. The boy who got me pregnant, the whole fiasco…his father will never forgive us. And he owns the building you are in? No wonder my mother was so confident you’d be out on your ear.”

“Your mother lied to you, Adrianna.”

She raised a brow. “Well, I guess that wouldn’t surprise me. What now?”

Sean leaned up, elbows on the patio table.

“When everything happened, when you got pregnant, Brian
did
want to see you again. But your parents would not allow it.”

Adrianna’s mouth fell open.

“Yes, it seems Brian was smitten with you. Who knows what he would have done if he’d been given a chance? But he never had a chance.

“I guess, at that time, his father wasn’t in their league. He was an associate, yes, but just an underling. Since he came from a poor family and worked his way up, your mother wouldn’t allow the relationship between Brian and you to go any further. Apparently, she told Carl Wade that his son had to stay away from you.”

Adrianna gave a disgusted look. “She is quick with the threats.”

“So you never had a choice. Brian knew about the pregnancy but was never allowed to see you. Then when your mother announced you lost the baby, well, I guess it ended there.

“Only it didn’t. Because the Wades never forgave your parents. It was a sensitive issue, a delicate matter, and your mother handled it with no tact at all. Worse, she outright said that Brian wasn’t good enough to associate with, and she would do everything in her power to keep him away from you. Oh, the situation was embarrassing, yes. But not for the reason she let you believe. She never thought that you being with Brian was the right thing, socially.”

Adrianna shook her head. “That’s appalling.”

“Yes, and there’s more. Carl Wade loves his son very much. Though Brian is now in New York and engaged to be married, Carl still harbors resentment for the way his family was treated. It left a sour taste in his mouth that the last few years have done nothing to wipe away.”

Adrianna frowned again. “I can understand that. Terrible.”

“But things have changed since then.”

“How’s that?”

“Carl Wade is no longer your father’s underling. Quite the opposite. He is, as your mother described, a real estate tycoon. And as such, he’s not to be trifled with.

“When Krista told me that Brian Wade was the young man who was the father of your baby, I wondered. Wade is a common name, but still. So I asked Carl. And found out the details I just told you.

“The idea that your father could kick me out of the building is ludicrous. Carl actually did laugh when I told him about that. The nerve that Mathew Brooks, after what he’d done, would imply that Carl was currently an associate of his was too much.

“The truth is that this whole situation provides Carl a chance for payback. He doesn’t strike me as a vindictive man, or he likely would have done something sooner. But when I told him what had been going on, it incited him. Let’s just say he’s annoyed.”

Adrianna leaned forward. “What is he going to do?”

“Having risen in the business world these past few years, he has some powerful allies. Carl assures me that, not only is my lease for the office suite secure, your father will not be doing anything to damage my business in any way. If he tries,
Mathew Brooks
is the one who will be blackballed.”

Adrianna leaned on the table, propping her chin on her elbows. “Wow.”

“Money talks to people like your father, and he won’t put his financial future at risk. Not just to get back at me. Carl has already let him know that I am a valued consultant for
numerous
businesses in the Boston area, and communicated in terms your father understands, that moving against me would be a bad plan.”

Adrianna got up and went to sit on Sean’s lap. “Then we don’t have to worry.”

“No, we don’t. And, as the final bombshell, guess what else I found out?”

Adrianna’s eyes widened.

“Your mother’s penchant for getting you together with Kevin was deeply rooted in financial greed.”

“That doesn’t make sense. I don’t see how Kevin could do anything for my parents.”

“Oh, but it does make sense. Do you know who Kevin’s father is?”

Adrianna shook her head.

“Arnold W. Scott.”

She showed no sign of recognition.

“A.S. Investments?”

Adrianna raised her hand. “Sure, now I remember. Everyone has heard of that company. It’s owned by Kevin’s father?”

“Yes, it is. And it gets more interesting. Company mergers are a big deal sometimes, and can be very profitable if done right.”

“What do mergers have to do with Kevin or his father’s company?”

“Your father hopes to merge with A.S. because the last few years have been rough at Brooks Investments. Scott taking over his company could be a way out for him. And…it sure wouldn’t hurt if you had a relationship with Scott’s son.”

“I was leverage?”

Sean nodded. “Extra insurance for the merger go through.”

Adrianna wrapped her arms around Sean’s neck and leaned her head against his.

“But your father wouldn’t have stood a chance against me anyway.”

Leaning back, Adrianna looked at him, waiting for the punch line.

“If he ever attacks me, I’ll be the one with the social media strength.” Sean smiled. “And you know I could make my campaign go viral—big time. Your father would wish he’d never heard of me. And his shaky little company would be wiped out before he knew what happened. Word of mouth is everything these days.”

She laughed. “You wouldn’t.”

“If he so much as upsets you—
ever again
—I’ll give him my worst.”

Adrianna grinned.

They finished up their late breakfast, and Sean suggested they walk over to the public garden. It was a short walk, and he thought of it as a peaceful oasis in the middle of the city. He took Adrianna’s hand and they made their way over, taking their time.

Early summer brought pleasant weather and the landscape was vibrant green in the sun. Weeping willow trees swayed, adding charm to the serene area. Boston Public Garden was a lush garden with birds chirping, flowers everywhere, and minstrels playing music. Loud-mouthed ducks dived for meals in the pond, and two swans gracefully floated by.

Together they walked along the paths, around the pond, and over the suspension bridge, stopping to take in the view. The park was busy. There were other runners, bikers, and lots of children, even babies being pushed in strollers. Sean put his arm around Adrianna and she pressed closer to him.

The scenic urban garden was a haven right in the middle of the busier streets of the city. When he was younger, Sean had come with his family to picnic in the grass or sit by a softly bubbling fountain. He even remembered one of the first times he visited and searched for the bronze duck statues. But being with Adrianna surpassed all of that.

“What do you say we go for a jog?” Sean pointed. “We can go that direction and catch my usual route in Boston Common.”

Adrianna kissed his cheek and started in that direction.

They crossed to the other side of the bridge and turned down one of the paths, heading out of the garden. Sean started his run.

He called back, “I’ll let
you
chase after
me
. It will feel good for a change.”

Adrianna giggled and took off after him, and he led her toward his familiar jogging route. It felt good to be out, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the summer day. Keeping an even speed, Sean worked his way along the path, easily staying ahead without working up a sweat. After a while, he slowed his pace.

In the glorious sun of the late morning, Sean turned to see Adrianna catching up to him. She was beautiful with her long hair flying, and her shapely legs looking so sexy in the shorts she wore.

When she was close enough, he tackled her, falling to a grassy area with her on top. Both of them were laughing.

“The park is busy. I saw a lot of hot-looking women out there.”

“Oh, you’ve been looking, huh?” Adrianna looked down at him, propped on one elbow with a leg draped over his thigh.

“Don’t need to. They find me.”

“Not conceited, are you?”

“Nope. Just a fact.”

Adrianna kissed his lips. The warm touch excited him.

“You know, at first I thought it was your beautiful body that attracted me to you.”

“Oh, so now you don’t think I’m so good looking?”

Sean looked at her full blond hair falling around her shoulders, and into her pretty blue eyes. “It’s you, Adrianna…inside. That’s what makes you beautiful. That’s why I love you so much.”

Adrianna frowned. “I’m
flawed
. Now that you know everything…you know
that
.”

“I love everything about you.” Sean ran his fingertip along her jaw, feeling her soft skin. “Everything you’ve done and everything you are…adds up, to
you
. It makes you the woman you are. It makes you
perfect
. Just the way you are, my love. You’re perfect.”

Sean pulled her to him, and touched his lips to hers, lost in her sweet kiss. Adrianna’s floral perfume, blended with her own feminine scent, cast a spell over him. He buried one hand in her thick hair, and pressed his other to her back, holding her close.
Taken
–that’s what you are. And I’ll never let you go.
