jerking, uncontrollable, deliciously warm gush of his cum filling her.
All Abby knew was pleasure the likes of which had no measure or equal. It was beyond belief that this existed and no one had ever told her. No one had ever introduced her to this magic. She was almost twenty years old and hadn’t ever, until tonight, imagined anything this good could be endured outside of heaven. There was no way she’d ever deny herself again. From now on, if a man attracted her, she would take what she wanted, thank him sincerely and never see him again. Just like she would do to this beast.
Granted, he had introduced her to magic, to ecstasy beyond belief, but he had also ruined her. She had once thought to marry. Now, that plan was out of the question, and it was his fault. He knew what he was doing, knew her to be a decent woman and yet had purposely enticed her to join him, disregarding what this one act would cost her.
“I must be out of my mind,” she moaned as she allowed him to cuddle her close against him.
“Why?”
“To allow you to convince me to do this.”
“Don’t tell me you didn’t like it.”
“Liking it is hardly important, wouldn’t you say? You knew what you were doing and didn’t care. Now, I can’t marry. And it’s all your fault.”
“Is it? You mean to say I forced you?”
“I mean to say and I do say that you tricked me.”
“All I did was bring you in here. I didn’t make you do a damn thing.”
“I hate you.”
“And you certainly can marry. If you’re set on it, you can marry me, if you like.”
“I’m sure I’ve never received a more romantic proposal. I can marry you, if I like. Do you mean to say you’ll make the supreme sacrifice?”
“I mean you’re a snotty little brat, and maybe, I won’t marry you after all. And the next time I make love to you, it’s going to be in light. I’ve yet to see what I’ve touched. And I need to see this,” he said as his hand covered her mound. His fingers threaded through her damp curls.
She pushed him away and rolled to her feet. And if she staggered a bit, neither mentioned the fact.
“There won’t be a next time,” she said as trembling hands finally managed to adjust her clothes and shove her drawers into her pocket.
“There will. I want you to come to my room. Tonight, I want you to come to me.”
“I won’t.”
“You will. It’s your turn.”
“What? My turn? What is this? A game?”
“Most everything is a game. Especially this.”
“I won’t come to you.”
“You will.”
“I’m going home in a few days. After my mother marries, I’m leaving.”
He frowned. Obviously, this was something that took him by surprise. “Where the hell is home?” He stood near her adjusting his own clothes.
“New York.”
“God damn it, but you are a stubborn woman. Abby, listen to me. Stay.”
“Why?”
“What do you mean why? Your mother is here. Why would you want to leave?”
Abby looked at him for a long moment before she shook her head. For a second, she’d thought maybe, just maybe he was going to say something, something that might convince her. God, but she was a fool to allow this man to come anywhere near her. And now, all her plans lay in ruin. Now that she’d lain with him, she couldn’t ever marry Bradley. Lord, but she was the world’s worse fool. “I’m going in.”
“Wait, I’m coming with you.”
“No. My mother will see us.”
“And what? That would be bad?”
“You know it would.”
“Why?”
“Because a woman like me doesn’t go to bed with a man like you.”
Linc’s laugh was as devoid of humor as any she’d ever heard. “What’s the matter with a man like me?”
“Everything. Do you think I don’t know your type? You go from job to job and woman to woman, offering nothing but a few moments of pleasure. Well, it’s not enough.”
“What the hell do you want?”
“I want the same thing every woman wants. I want a man who’ll always be there for me. I
