CHAPTER 11
Rayna
I went into the bathroom when I was off, fixing my hair and checking my faded make up nervously. I knew that Declan wouldn’t care since I was just going to sleep, but I did. I patted my skin with a cold, damp towel and fixed my jeans with a wry smile before I called out to Veronica to have a good day.
I was tired to the bone, but I didn’t want to go home. I wanted to go be with Declan, and I grinned at my freedom as I blinked in the light of the sun. I never left work now, but with nobody home waiting for me, it didn’t matter.
I was free for a month, and it was indeed tempting to spend the entire time in Declan’s bed. I was going into dangerous territory, but he just made me feel good. James didn’t compliment me or even respect me, and he was cheating, so there was a big part of me that didn’t even care any longer. I glanced around as I started the engine, deciding to get some breakfast sandwiches and coffee at a cute little bistro that was on the way.
I left with a bag in hand and finished the drive to his house, parking in the driveway as I looked around. I noticed the garage opening as Declan stepped forward and waved me inside. I grinned appreciatively as I parked and he closed the garage with a smile on his face. “Good morning, beautiful.” He took the bag as I hesitated, leaning forward to give me a slow kiss as I let out a slow breath. “Thanks for the food.”
“Not a problem. I might go into a coma after we eat,” I whispered against Declan’s lips before he kissed me again. I felt my heart race as our lips molded together, trembling as his free hand reached out for mine.
“That’s fine,” Declan told me as he pulled me into the house and the small bistro table in the corner of the kitchen. He set up our food and got us water as I looked around the small but neat kitchen with a small smile. “How was work?”
“It was work. Booking as always. It is surprisingly busy late at night,” I remarked as he glanced at me before sipping his coffee. “Why did you use the agency, if you don’t mind me asking?”
“I had friends recommend it, and I was newly single…it seemed like a good idea for something casual.” He gave me a worried look for a moment as he crookedly smiled.
“Yeah. That worked out well. Are you okay with this?” I had waved my hand before I took an eager bite of my sandwich, enjoying the mix of cheese, eggs, and fresh sausage as my stomach growled. “Mmmm.”
“I am more than fine with it,” he assured me confidently as he took a bite of his breakfast. “This is good. Where did you get it?”
“It’s called Eggheads. Silly name but the food is fantastic,” I smiled as he nodded in agreement. There was a pause, and I couldn’t decide if it was a good one for a moment. “When did you wake up?”
“Six. I went for a run. I’ll do a little work and maybe sneak into bed for a nap with you.” He winked at me, making my heart jump in my chest.
“That would be great,” I told him as our eyes locked and something deep inside of me twisted. I got to do this for a month. I was in trouble.
We finished, and he led me back to the bed, smiling as I glanced at the messy blankets. I looked at him, and he stepped forward to kiss me again, tasting of the strong coffee and food. His hand slipped around my hips to tug me closer to him, the kiss deepening as I wrapped my arms around his neck.
I felt him take my clothes off, smelling the soap from his shower as he kissed the slowly bared skin in between tugs on my lips. I was dying to feel him inside of me as we moved to the bed, feeling his hand slide between my legs as his tongue danced with mine. Declan tossed my bra to the floor and held my neck to kiss me hard as he fingered my swollen nub. I moaned as I struggled to stay up before he pushed me back without losing contact with my body. I arched my back as he kept stroking me before sliding a thick finger inside of me, clutching his face to mine.
I came within a few deep strokes, feeling him everywhere inside of me. I cried out Declan’s name in a low voice as I rocked against his hand, feeling his teeth on my neck. I whispered to him to be careful, knowing that some people in my life knew that I was married. Thinking about that a bit further, they would applaud me for this, and I gasped as he pulled his finger out. “I need more,” I told him as he parted my legs and positioned himself before me, staring into my face before he slipped inside of me.
He smelled so good, so masculine and clean as he took me with slow, deep thrusts. I gripped his tight ass and pulled him harder as Declan began to move faster. I knew that he was turned on as he thickened inside of me, stretching me as I groaned. “Oh, fuck,” I breathed as he moved steadily, pressing my legs open to get deeper inside. “Declan.”
“Can you come again?” Declan asked me in a husky voice as I nodded. I was close. “Let go, Rayna. Let go with me.” I yelped as I exploded again and he filled me with his heat, moaning my name as he rocked into me.
I felt my body tingling everywhere as he leaned down to kiss me. I knew that I was developing feelings for this man and the idea scared me as much as it thrilled me. I loved being with him, and I’d take advantage of that fir the next few weeks, but I didn’t want James to find out. I had a feeling that he’d hurt Declan just on principal alone. I was his property, in his mind.
We settled together on the bed as I looked drowsily around the room, bright with the sun. It was spacious and comforting in here in his arms, and I snuggled closer to him, my nipples brushing his chest as he let out a low groan. “Stay here with me,” I whispered as he nodded and looked at me for a long moment. We fell asleep tangled together, still naked and I knew that it was going to be some of the best sleep I ever had.
I woke up later with his mouth over my bare pussy, working my clit with his tongue as I dropped my head back. “Oh, oh, oh,” I murmured as he gripped my thighs, seeing that I was awake. How did he know that I was dreaming about him? I was close to coming in the erotic dream, and I moved a hand down to slide it into his hair as I moaned his name. “How did you know?”
He finished me off with the drag of teeth across my clit. Declan was panting as he pulled away, his mouth slick with my juices. “You were moaning my name in your sleep. I woke up hard as a fucking rock, and I had to taste you.” I blushed as I looked at him, naked and exposed in the bright light. I’d always preferred darkness before this, and he stared at my body for a quiet moment. “Can I have you again?”
“Yes, but it’s my turn to make you come,” I told him to get onto his back, and Declan grinned wickedly as he complied. I straddled him, trying to push away my insecurities. James never made me feel sexy, choosing to be critical of my efforts to stay in shape. That combined with the curves of Angela’s body flooded my mind as I felt a hand on my thigh.
“Are you with me?” His voice was low as I slid down over him and nodded, forcing myself back into the moment.
“I am,” I assured him as I focused on my movements and the way that he filled me. It was almost too much to bear, and I was soon pressing against his chest as my body gave into him. I was crying out his name within moments as I came weakly again, feeling him bring his hips up to take over until he was coming with rapid breaths.
“Are you hungry or anything?” He asked as I rolled beside him and slung an arm over his chest.
“Not yet. I want to sleep with you more.” I had told him before I giggled. “I am going to make you lazy.”
“You worked all night. Baby. It’s okay to sleep if it’s here with me,” he assured me as I stilled with the use of his endearment. “We’ll get up later and do something. Did you bring anything with you?”
“I have a bag in the car,” I replied as I watched him smile.
“I’ll get that later for you.” Declan kissed my forehead gently. “Sleep, gorgeous girl.”
I smiled as I drifted to sleep again, wrapped in his arms. When I woke up again, the bed was empty, and I could see the sun was higher in the sky. I looked at the clock, seeing that it was three in the afternoon as I stretched my body out. I was so comfortable, and I closed my eyes again as I felt the aches in various muscles. It felt amazing.
