All Chapters of Dark Curves (Dangerous Curves 6): Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“Yeah, well. I kept Hal out of jail, and the club let me go. They weren’t thrilled, but they did keep their word. I had nothing more than a suitcase, and some money from some babysitting jobs and weekends working in a café all through high school. I found work as a waitress, and reapplied to teacher’s college, and applied for financial aid. I was accepted to a college up in Montana, and I went without one second of thought. I graduated, and was lucky enough to get a job at the high school where I’d done my practice teaching. I stayed there for two years, then applied to the private, all-girls school that I’m at now.” She paused. “And, uh, well. That’s it. That’s me.”“And how are you doing with… ummm… have you…” His voice trailed off, and he had no clue how to ask her about being around men. Being with men. Shay understood what he was driving at, though. “I joined a rape survivor’s group,” she said quietly. “I got intensive private therapy. I’m past it all, for the most part. I’ve b

So, a man nothing like him, in the end. No matter how badly he wanted to be that steady, strong man for her, it wasn’t ever going to happen. Shay deserved a guy like that, and he wasn’t anything even close to it. All he could offer was the relationship equivalent of a one-night stand… though it’d be closer to a one-week stand. Not that that was much better.So he shut his mouth, kept it shut. No way he was articulating his selfish, petty wants and needs to her. Not when he couldn’t give her what she wanted and needed in return.Shay sighed again, but she sounded exhausted this time. Right away, he tipped her chin up, met her eyes.“Tired?” he said gently.“Yeah.” She fought down a yawn, and utterly failed. “Oh, God, I’m sorry. It’s totally rude to yawn in someone’s face.”He laughed. “I don’t mind, Shay. You want to brush your teeth, climb back into bed?”“Ummm-hmmm.” She rolled over and tried to get up, but she was struggling. He shot to his feet, helped her up. He held her under her

So gently, he lowered her to the bed, followed her down. He stroked her hair back off her cheeks, gazed down at her. He glanced at the clock on the bedside table, and was shocked to see that it was going on midnight. Her pain meds had to be wearing off by now, if they hadn’t already, and his chest flared with worry. When he dropped his eyes back to hers, this time he saw the lines of tension around her eyes, around her mouth.“OK, Shay?” he asked, all husky-soft. Dear sweet God, she loved that voice. “Hurts?”The truth was that her leg was throbbing again, and that it had been for a while, but she didn’t want to tell him that. If she did, he’d get up, go find her some painkillers, and she didn’t want that to happen. She wanted him here, here for as long as possible.Then a sharp pain sliced the length of her leg, and despite herself, she gave a small cry. Right away, Warren did exactly what she’d feared he would: he pushed up and away.“Shay?” he said gruffly. “Answer me, baby. It hur

His tongue skimmed the curves of her lips, and when she opened to him, he delved into her sweetness, tasting her. Luxuriating in her, just richly and unapologetically enjoying her. When his hand moved down again, Shay moaned into his mouth, spread her thighs wider. He smiled, loving how responsive she was to him. It was innocent, somehow, and spontaneous, but also knowing, needy. Shay needed what he was doing to her, what he was giving her, and he swore right there and then to give it until she collapsed into his arms.When he skimmed her stomach, she trembled; when he slid lower, barely touching her tender folds, she cried out. Right away, Warren tightened his hand in her blonde waves, dragged her eyes to meet his.“You good, kitten?” he asked, almost harshly. “You with me?”“Yes,” she panted, seconds away from begging him to just fucking touch her, already. “Oh, God. Yes.”He smiled again, and this was a smile that she hadn’t seen on that gorgeous face before. She’d seen him hot an

Her clit peeked out from between her glistening lower lips, begging for his tongue, for his mouth. He leaned in, inhaled deeply, loving her scent. Loving everything about this woman.Shay squirmed. She thought that she’d be embarrassed at having Warren kneeling between her splayed thighs, holding her open and just staring at her, breathing her in… but she wasn’t. He so clearly appreciated what he saw, and that ramped her own arousal up and beyond anything she’d ever experienced before. She was exposed in every single way possible – and she was loving it.“Ready, baby?’ he said now, his voice guttural. “Yes,” she whispered.“Good,” he said, and then his mouth was on her.Shay’s scream took her aback: never in her life had she screamed with pleasure. Not once, not with anyone. But Warren blew all of her expectations right out of the water, broke every single rule that she’d ever known. And suddenly, she knew that she was going to understand real, true physical pleasure with a man.At l
