Chapter Four

“Shit, Sol!” Kael closed the bedroom door, pressing her against it, his legs in a wide stance to accommodate her height and to fit her more snugly against the hard bulge in his jeans. “Why didn’t you tell me it could be like this?” His mouth was all over her at once.

“I never knew it could be like this.” She hung on to his shoulders as he practically devoured her whole. “Oh!” She gasped as he found a particularly sensitive spot behind her left ear.

Kael made grunting noises of satisfaction, continuing his exploration of her neck while inside his emotions fluctuated between profound passion and downright terror. He couldn’t be feeling this way toward. Sol. Could he? Perhaps he shouldn’t be feeling this way about the woman he had grown up with. It didn’t seem right. And yet, at the same time, nothing had ever felt so right in his life.

He tried to pretend that he was with somebody else. Even went so far as to superimpose Raquel’s sultry face and willowy body over Sol’s. It was no use though. In his mind, in his heart, and especially his body, he knew it was Sol who had him feeling this passionate, this alive, this wanted.

“Shouldn’t we be taking our clothes off?” she offered when he had felt and licked and kissed every inch of her through the silken barrier of her pant suit.

“I want to make this night special,” he murmured in her ear, thinking that if he’d known she was this passionate, he would have made love to her the second he’d laid his lips on her all those years ago.

“It already is,” she whispered.

“It’s so good.”

“Yes.”

He cupped her ass in the palms of his hands, bringing her closer to him. Pressing her tight against the length of his dick. He rubbed up and down, bringing a gasp from her lips. Kael smiled in the darkness of her bedroom, happy as hell he was bringing her to such heights of lust. “I want it to last.”

“It will probably take me a while to get pregnant,” she reasoned. “We’ll more than likely have to do this again.”

He growled. “No problem.” Kael lifted her into his arms, walking over to the bed. He then let her slide down the length of him until her feet touched the floor.

With practiced ease, he stripped off his shirt and shoes, his jeans, briefs and socks. He then went to work on the small pearl buttons of Sol’s blouse, letting it fall to the floor at their feet. Her pants and sandals were next, leaving her in only a lacy white bra and equally lacy panties. “I don’t usually indulge in such fancy whims as sexy underwear, but thought that tonight called for satin and lace.” She gave a nervous laugh. “Cotton undies, though comfortable, aren’t very romantic.”

He switched on the lamp at the side of her bed, covering her body in a soft glow. “Mmm … that’s better.” He looked her up and down. “Nice,” Kael murmured, running a finger inside the lace waistband. The contrast between her soft, warm skin and the lacy material created a slow burn in his balls.

Before Sol could blink, her bra and panties were gone, whisked away by Kael’s deft hands. Suddenly his eyes widened and he stopped stone-still. “Merciful heaven above,” he hoarsely whispered.

Sol looked at him. “Is something wrong?” She reached up to cover her breasts, but Kael brushed them aside.

“You’re absolutely perfect, Sol. I never knew you had hips. Or breasts, for that matter.” He took hold of her hands, holding them out to her sides. “Why do you keep a body like this hidden beneath jeans and T-shirts? Hell, why do you wear clothes at all?” He grinned.

Sol sighed. “Quit giving me your sugar-coated baloney, Kael, and make love to me.” She lay back on the bed, not bothering to peel back the spread and sheet.

“That glib remark really hurt.” Sure he was used to saying the right things to get what he wanted. “I’m not trying to butter you up.” He never had to butter Sol up. He was speaking the truth. She truly was the most sexy, sensual woman he had ever been with. Evidently, she wasn’t ready to believe the truth just yet. He never realized before how vulnerable she was. She always appeared to be strong-willed and confident, but once in the bedroom, Sol was definitely off balance.

“We’ve got a baby to make.” She didn’t look totally convinced by his admission. “Come here,” she whispered, holding her arms open wide and Kael went to her. For his pleasure as much as hers, he worshipped every inch of her tight, perfect body. From the top of her head to the soles of her feet, concentrating on a few important areas in between. He suckled and tugged at her breasts then kissed the honeyed area between her thighs.

Sol moved around, moaning his name, making him harder and hotter than he ever thought possible. If he didn’t know better, if they weren’t such close friends, if he didn’t know that this was all purely a business arrangement, he would actually allow himself to believe that he and Sol could be dynamite lovers on a full-time basis.

When she was clutching at his hair, when she was slick and ready for him, Kael moved up and over her body. Poised at the entrance to her, his dick pulsed with anticipation, his heart pumping blood overtime. He felt her fingers digging into his back as he entered her. He stopped, frowning down at her. “You should have been wined and dined.”

“We were too eager.” Her breathy chuckle was hot in his ear. “Pizza and beer were fine. More my style, anyway.”

He looked into her eyes, not sure of what he was looking for. “No turning back now.”

“No, no turning back now,” she softly offered in return, the smallest of smiles touching her lips.

Kael kissed her deeply, his passion at an all-time high. “Ah, Sol, I know I’m sounding territorial, but I’m glad you chose me,” he whispered into her mouth.

“Don’t get all sentimental on me. This is business,” she reminded.

Kael didn’t buy it for a minute. It was more than business between them now. He could see it in her face. Could feel it inside of himself. The way they fit so perfectly together. The way they had turned to molten lava when their lips first touched. Whatever this was, he fully intended to milk it for all it was worth. And when the lust was eventually spent…

“Your business just happens to be my pleasure.”

“Are you trying to make me cry or make a baby?” she said tartly.

“Both.” He brushed back the damp curls from her forehead, planting delicate kisses there as he slowly entered her until his entire length was gripped tightly by Sol’s core.

She bowed her body. “I need you closer.” She pulled Kael down on top of her so she was bearing his entire weight. Kael wished he could physically crawl right into her soul. Her legs went around his trim waist. He surged deeper. Soft moans and whimpers came from her throat.

“Oh, baby, you’re so hot, so beautiful…” His words were mumbled praise. Soon sensations started to twist and weave at the base of his shaft, spreading to his lower abdomen. Tighter the feelings wove themselves, bringing upon him a sense of anxious wonder. When he felt he could stand it no longer, he cried out.

Sol smiled in the pale lamplight that swam around the room. “Does it feel good?”

Kael slipped in and out again and again. “Shit, yes.” The two words were an urgent whisper.

“Same here,” she confirmed. Kael claimed her lips again with another devastating kiss. Soon he felt her gripping him tightly as she came. “K-Kael!”

That propelled him to follow in her wake, shooting into that perfect place where nothing outside of intense pleasure existed. With a long, broken groan, he called for her; planting his seed deep within her pussy. “Yes!” he rasped against the side of her neck as his body convulsed with the sweet spasms of release.

A moment later he rolled over, placing Sol’s boneless body atop of his. Kael wrapped his arms around her, knowing that they had shared in something truly special.

He held her for a long while, neither one speaking as they floated in the aftermath of their lovemaking. Kael’s heart felt funny, as if it were about to burst. He figured it was due to his protective instincts over Sol. His hold on her tightened and his passion blazed a new, amazing himself that his body was ready to take her once more.
