Loved By The Hero (Hero Romance 3) by Kalena Lyons Page A

into her with a ferocity so strong she was afraid he might tear something, but her orgasm masked any pain she might have felt.
    She was lost in the undeniable pleasure he was giving her, and then he pulled out and pulled off his condom. Claire didn’t stop him when he entered her anally again. “I want you to feel my hot come in your tight ass,” he told her as he pounded her and made her come a final time. While she was crying out his name, oblivious to whether or not her neighbors could hear, James’s come streamed into her.
    They lay panting for a long time on the couch together as the two of them tried to catch their breath. Claire finally showed him the shower and he showed her what could be done with a showerhead when a man was involved. James showed her that she was a woman who could come multiple times, and she felt as if she’d already fallen in love.

Chapter Seven
    The next morning, she woke and was worried that he wouldn’t be beside her. Claire’s chest tightened when she rolled over and expected to see nothing, but she was shocked to find that he was already awake and propped up on one elbow as he stared at her. “Good morning,” he told her in his deep, sultry voice.
    “Good morning,” she responded as she tried not to sound like a meek mouse. She’d done it. She’d had a one-night stand and it had been the best sex of her life. It’s not a one-night stand until he leaves and never calls you, she thought to herself. Claire felt a pang of regret that he might do just that.
    “Are you hungry? Do you want to go out?” he asked her as he slid closer to her in bed. Claire could feel the heat radiating off him and shook her head as she snuggled back under the covers. James slid his hand up her thigh hesitantly and planted it on her hip. “Do you want something else?” he asked her teasingly as his thumb made little circles on her dark flesh.
    “Maybe,” she shot back at him with humor in her voice. James let his hand slide down so that his knuckles were resting against her already warm, waiting pussy and she shivered at the blatant touch. “James,” she whispered as he shifted closer under the covers. She could feel the hard length of him up at her leg and shivered with anticipation.
    Claire felt her pussy tightening with the thought of how he had taken her so fully the previous night. He had behaved as if she was his, and she marveled that she’d never felt that with another man before. He had come across as dangerous to her, and now she knew why. What made James dangerous was how much she wanted him. How much she had wanted him the night before when she’d caught sight of him looking her over in the bar mirror, and how he had made her want him in just the span of a few minutes.
    He’d had her the moment they’d locked gazes, and she’d been denying it the entire night.
    “Wait,” she told him and recalled what that had gotten her the night before. She was primed and ready for him, but he waited nonetheless.
    “I know you’re not wearing boob tape this time,” he whispered to her with a grin. Claire felt a smile blooming as she looked down at his chest to avoid his gaze. “What is it?”
    She hesitated and he let out a small growl of frustration. “It’s just that I’ve been thinking, and I don’t think I really want this to be a one night stand kind of thing, you know?”
    James pulled back immediately and she felt a sharp cold where his warmth had been. Ugh, why didn’t I just keep my mouth shut until we were done having morning sex? She grumped mentally as she looked up to peak at his expression. She was a little shocked to see he was bemused.
    “Did you really think I would have stayed the night if I wasn’t planning on pursuing you further, Claire?” She didn’t know what to say to that so she kept her mouth shut. “Tonight, I’m going to take you out on a proper date. One that doesn’t involve the two of us chatting at my club while I’m supposed to be mingling with
