Semua Bab Fighting Strong (Fighting For Love 2): Bab 21 - Bab 30

Katie sat in the restaurant watching Adam outside. He was leaning against the wall, talking on his phone. He was loose and relaxed in his body, and just so fucking gorgeous with his muscles rippling under a dark long-sleeved shirt. He took her breath away, in all the best ways.It wasn’t just his amazing physique and hot face, though there was no denying the attraction of both of those things. No, what Katie really found sexy was Adam. She’d never have guessed that he’d be so gentle, or that she’d be able to turn to him for comfort. He surprised her every hour with his combination of toughness and kindness, and she knew that she trusted him. She believed now that she could tell him anything, ask him for anything. If he could help or be there, he would, no questions asked. That was rare, in her experience.He laughed and her stomach twisted with desire. God, she wanted to kiss him. Wanted to be close to him, in those arms. But this trip wasn’t about anything like that: this was about m

Adam looked in the mirror and smiled when he saw that Katie was still sleeping in the back seat. She had resisted, saying that he was doing all the driving, and the least she could do was stay awake and keep him company. But the shock of the past two days, plus her injured leg and arm and the painkillers, was all taking its toll. He thought about the kiss they had shared. Well, it wasn’t even really a kiss; it was more of a hint of a kiss. A promise of one. Whatever it was, it was the fucking hottest thing I’ve ever experienced.Adam’s face clouded as he thought about the clock ticking down now. Her brother had called a few hours earlier and he and Katie had had a tense conversation. It seemed that her stepfather was fading fast, and Ryan had warned Katie to get there by the next afternoon at the latest. As soon as he heard that, Adam had offered to drive all night.Katie had refused, but they'd agreed to drive on past the state line into Nevada and find a place to stay in Caliente.

Mia wandered out of the office when she smelled food.“Hey,” she said. “Did you cook?”Nick turned. “I did. Nothing fancy… just pasta and salad. Is that OK?”“Are you kidding me? It sounds perfect.”“OK, then. Pour yourself a glass of wine and go sit down.”Mia sat at the table and watched him in the kitchen. He brought the food to the table and sat across from her, his gray eyes very dark in the candlelight.“Thanks,” she said. “I don’t know how the whole day just got away from me like that.”“So the writing is going well?”“Yes, actually. Really well.”“Tell me.”They talked as they ate, their conversation easy and relaxed. Nick watched her face as she told him about her book, and he couldn’t think when she had last looked so animated and content.Mia saw him looking at her. “What?”He shrugged, a smile on his handsome face. “Nothing. Just happy to see you so happy.”“I am happy,” she said. “Thank you so much for bringing me here… it’s perfect and you were right. It was what I neede

Katie clutched him closer as the sensations tumbled through her body. Her stomach tightened and her pussy opened as her desire surged. She felt his arousal under her and pressed down against it. He felt her heat even through their underwear, and he growled deep in his throat, responding on the most basic, primal level that he had.“Careful, baby,” he said. “Why?” she asked, her head cocked to the side in a teasing little gesture.“Because I don’t want to go too fast.” He took a deep breath, steadied himself internally. “I don’t want to scare you.”She nodded, more serious now. “I’m not – not ready for much more. I don’t want to take anything else off.” She hesitated. “Is that OK with you?”He saw her uncertainty and he gave her a lingering kiss. “Yeah. We stop here.”“You sure? You don’t think I’m – I’m teasing you?”“No. Not for one damn second.”She felt a wave of relief. “OK.”“I can make you feel good without taking off any more clothing, Katie.” His eyes were hot. "But only if y

“Want me to come with you?” Ryan said.“No, thanks.” She smiled at him. “What room is he in?”Ryan pointed with his chin. “Three-fourteen.”She nodded. Adam took her hand again and they left the visitor’s lounge together. When they reached the door of her stepfather’s room, she paused.He lifted her chin to meet his eyes. “You ready for this?”She nodded, took a deep breath, blinked hard. "I'm – I'm scared."He turned the door handle. “I am right here, Katie.” He swung the door open and they went in. "Right here."The man on the bed turned to look at them as they entered. His gray eyes widened and his thin hand grappled with the oxygen mask. He lowered it and stared at Katie.“Katie. My God, you came.”She stood just inside the door, clutching Adam's fingers, looking at her stepfather quietly.Roy extended a trembling hand to her. “Katie, come closer. Please. Come sit.”She let go of Adam, slowly approached the bed. Adam leaned against the door with his arms crossed and watched her go
