Chapter 26

Callie

As soon as Kristen walked inside, she went straight to the couch to lie down. “Want anything?” I asked her, taking a seat across from her.

She closed her eyes. “I’m good. This heartburn sucks, though. I never had it until I got pregnant.”

I remembered my baby pictures and how much hair I had. “My mom always told me she had it bad and I came out with a head full of hair. Maybe your little girl will be born with beautiful red curls.”

She giggled. “Hope so. You don’t see many true redheads these days.”

The door opened and Kellan walked in. “Thanks for staying, Callie.” He went straight to Kristen.

“You’re welcome. Did you see Dallas before you left?” I asked. What I really wanted to know was who he was with.

Kellan lifted Kristen’s feet and rubbed them. It was so sweet. “His agent showed up needing to talk to him. He wanted me to tell you he’d be done soon.”

Breathing a sigh of relief, I grabbed my keys off the counter. At least he wasn’t sneaking a visit with the sports reporter. “Thanks, Kellan.” I waved at Kristen. “Get some rest. I’ll see you both later.”

“Be careful,” Kristen called out as I headed for the door.

Dallas’s house was dark when I arrived, so I went inside and waited in the kitchen. There was a gallon of vanilla ice cream in the freezer, so I pulled it out, along with the can of whipped cream and chocolate syrup from the refrigerator. I put three scoops in my bowl and topped it high with the whipped cream and chocolate.

I didn’t want to be short and cranky on the phone with Dallas, but I couldn’t stop thinking about him and his ex. I was really hoping the ice cream would help get my mind off of it. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. Setting my dish on the kitchen table, I pulled out my phone and looked up Dallas’s name along with Madison’s. Breathing a sigh of relief, I was glad to see that everything that came up was tabloids from over two years ago.

There were pictures of them together, but there were none of them playing miniature golf or hanging out alone. They were all with crowds of people at parties. The pang of jealousy in my gut slowly slipped away, but I could still feel it. Sliding my phone across the table, I focused on my ice cream.

The garage door opened and I heard Dallas pull in. Facing my ice cream, I watched him out of the corner of my eye walk through the door. “Hey, angel. That looks good.”

I spooned a bite of ice cream into my mouth. “It tastes good, too.”

Grabbing a beer from the refrigerator, he walked over and sat beside me. “Are you okay? You didn’t sound right on the phone.” His fingers lightly touched my chin and he turned me to face him. “What’s on your mind?”

It was so hard to think with those blue eyes of his boring into mine. “Kristen told me about Madison Bennett. I wasn’t aware you two were still friends.”

Sighing, he grabbed my chair and turned my body toward his. “We are, but not like that. I only see her at games. It’s not like we keep in touch over the phone.” Clasping my face with his strong hands, he kissed me, his tongue gently grazing mine. “You have nothing to worry about. I promise.”

Nodding, I kissed him again. “I trust you.” With a sly smile, he pulled away and focused on my ice cream. I pushed the bowl toward him. “Want some? I was hoping it’d help take away the jealous thoughts running through my mind.”

His grin widened. “You were jealous?”

I shrugged and smiled back. “Maybe a little. Your ex is very beautiful and sexy. You can’t tell me you wouldn’t be jealous if you saw me hugging my ex.”

His eyes darkened. “I’d be furious.” Taking my hands, he pulled me to my feet. “The only person I want is you.” He kissed my cheek, grazing his unshaven face along my neck, sending chills down my body. “I think it’s time for my dessert.”

Lifting my shirt, he tossed it onto the floor and undid my bra. “What are you doing?” Giggling, I watched him fetch the can of whipped cream and chocolate syrup from the counter.

He shook the whipped cream and sprayed a little into his mouth. “This is going to taste so fucking good on your body.” Setting the contents down on the table, he lifted me up so I was on it too. “Lie back,” he commanded.

I did as he said and shivered when he sprayed the whipped cream on my nipples and down my stomach. He pushed his cock into me and I locked my legs around his hips, hoping he’d move them against me. I needed the friction, to feel him inside of me. The second his mouth latched on to me, my whole body tightened. Moaning, I arched my back so he’d suck harder. Chuckling, he bit my nipple and I hissed. It felt so good it hurt.

“I want you so fucking bad right now.”

I bit my lip. “What’s stopping you?”

He winked. “Not a damn thing.” Lifting me in his arms, he carried me upstairs to his room and set me on the bed. He took off my jeans and pushed me onto the bed while I watched him undress. “There’s something I want to ask you.”

Crawling across the bed, he grabbed my breasts and licked a taut nipple. “What is it?” I groaned. I wanted so much more.

“Since I have a long weekend, I wondered if maybe you’d like to fly up to Maine with me tomorrow morning. Or we could wait until after you get off of work tomorrow afternoon.”

Excitement bubbled in my veins. “Really?”

His hand brushed down the side of my cheek. “We’d be back Monday night. Is that something you think you can do? I know it’s last minute with work.”

“Yes,” I gasped. “I’d love to go with you. I’ll call the hospital first thing tomorrow morning. It shouldn’t be a problem.” I had a gazillion vacation days saved up.

His smile made me melt. “You’ll love it up there.” He flicked his tongue across my nipple again. “Now where were we?”

Getting into position between my legs, he spread my knees wide. Blowing lightly over my sensitive skin, he brought his lips over my center and sucked my clit into his mouth.

“Dallas,” I breathed, gripping his head as he thrust his tongue inside me.

Arching my back, I gave in to his touch, moaning in delight as he explored me with his mouth while holding my legs out to the side with his weight. All too soon, he pulled away, leaving me breathless.

Using his tongue, he licked a path all the way back up my leg, past the inside of my thigh. Fingers spreading me open, he nuzzled my clit with his nose, keeping his gaze on mine as he fucked me with his tongue. I was getting close to losing control, and before I could hit my peak, Dallas gave me one last lick and continued his torturous path up to my breasts.

“That’s not funny,” I growled.

He smiled and bit one of my nipples. “Your orgasms tonight will all be with me inside you, angel. Just like mine will all be inside you.”

He wrapped his lips around my breast, and everything tightened and throbbed with need. Dallas lifted his head and gazed down at me with his sensual blue eyes. Pressing his hips against mine, he positioned himself between my legs, grazing his cock along my opening as he swiveled his hips in slow circles.

“Callie,” he whispered.

Taking my face in his hands, he lowered his lips to mine and stayed there, breathing me in with just the gentlest of touches. When he pulled back, he caressed my cheeks with his thumbs and tenderly pushed inside me until he was all the way in.

There was no rushing, almost like we were making love. It wasn’t the usual heated and wild sex we’d been having; it was something different . . . something I felt all the way down to my soul.

Dallas pressed his lips to mine and slowly caressed my tongue with his, while thrusting deep and slow. His torturous pace only heightened my desire, so I grabbed his ass tightly and locked my legs around his waist, pulling him into me.

Picking up his pace, Dallas moaned and murmured in my ear, “Let it go, angel, so I can come inside you.”

Giving in to the feeling, I gripped his shoulders. My skin tingled and my toes curled, as the longest and strongest orgasm I had ever felt exploded across my entire body. Dallas’s body jerked almost simultaneously as his cock pulsed, filling me with his release. I loved the feel of him coming inside of me, knowing he felt the same level of ecstasy from my body.

Biting his lip, Dallas leaned down and kissed me firmly. Lifting my back off the bed, he brought my breasts up to his lips. “Are you ready for the real fun to begin?” he asked, licking a taut nipple. My body trembled and I could already feel myself tightening around his growing cock. I could see it in his eyes: it was going to be an interesting night, and I looked forward to it.

He grinned and pushed harder and faster between my legs. “Damn, you’re so wet for me.”

“You have no idea.”
