She sat in the armchair opposite. The lighting was soft and low. The space far too intimate. This was her sanctuary, her place of refuge. And yet, having him here wasn’t generating the effect that she would have expected. She was still a little angry, yes—but more than that was something else, something like excitement.

She thought of something then as her stomach growled quietly. "Have you eaten?" she asked

Kaleb took another drink from his glass and shook his head. "No." He replied. He just realized then that he’d hardly eaten all day; he’d been so consumed with getting out of work and over here. It made him feel uncomfortable now.

Sasha put down her glass and stood up. "I was going to make myself something to eat…that is, if you want something, too?"

"That would be great, I’m starving." He smiled, and the room seemed to tilt for a second.

Sasha picked up her glass and backed into the kitchen, which was just feet away from where he now sat with an arm stretched out over the b

    "Kaleb…?" Even the way she spoke his name, so huskily, so warily, was arousing. Too much so for Kaleb to be able to resist tasting her. Just one taste, he promised himself. One taste of her lips, with the feel of those slender curves pressed against his much harder ones, the crush of the softness of her breasts against his chest, her thighs against his, and then he would let her go… if she wanted him to. Sasha barely had time to do anything before his arms moved about her. He pulled her in tightly against the hardness of his body and his head lowered so that his mouth could claim hers.Fiercely. Hungrily. Crushing, parting her lips beneath his as he deepened the kiss. His tongue surged past her lips and into the heated cavern of her mouth. The hands she had raised clung to him. Her fingers curled into the front of his shirt as she met and returned the intensity of that kiss. Those fingers tightened and she held onto the material for support as desire ripped shockingly through her bo

    Kaleb sucked in a breath at the feel of her lips and her breath there. Her hair fell over one shoulder, and when she stood again he looked greedily at her lush form in all its glory. The waist, feminine hips, beautiful legs…up again to surprisingly full breasts. He quite literally ached to touch her, but this sweet anticipation was too exquisite.With a voice he barely recognised as his own because it was so full of raw need, he said, "Undress me. Please." Sasha looked up into Kaleb's face. She read the restraint and silently thanked him for it. He was giving her time, letting her dictate the pace. Yet she knew if he threw her on the bed right now and took her with no further ado she’d be ready. She felt indecently damp between her thighs. With other men since Kaleb she’d always felt self-conscious, awkward, but with him it felt natural, right, and that gave her confidence. She had the fleeting wish that she could eradicate all other experiences and make this moment her first time al

    "Now you touch…"He brought her hand down to cover his shaft. Sasha's eyes grew big and round, glued to his as she allowed herself to feel and explore as he had done. It was his turn to shift restlessly, color slashing his cheeks as she moved her hand, tightened her grip, feeling the satin smooth skin slip up and down over the steel-hard core. She could feel their heartbeats thudding slowly and heavily.When he looked down at her with tense jaw and fever-bright eyes she took her hand away, and shifted herself so that she lay under him. She spread her legs, opening herself up to his welcome heat and heaviness."Now…I want you…" She reached up and pressed a hot kiss to his mouth, her tongue slipping inside with seductive innocence for a moment before she said, "…inside me." Kaleb had lost all sense of time and place. At the last second before desire sucked him under completely he reached for protection and smoothed it on with all the finesse of a novice. This scene was so reminiscent o

    Humiliation coursed through her. He was right. She’d put up absolutely no fight whatsoever. What was she doing? This wasn't the kind of thing she'd normally do. This was Kaleb, Tilly's brother…. And he had a girlfriend. Yet she'd slept with him!"Look, I have an apartment in Rome. Come along and stay with me for the weekend." His abrupt change of subject caught her unawares. "What?" Sasha automatically shook her head and quailed slightly under the harsh light in his eyes. "No, I can't," "Why not?" he asked softly, softly enough to disarm her for a second. Sasha looked up. Caught between two worlds, she found herself instinctively clinging on to something in Kaleb's eyes."I will have my plane at your disposal," he added. "But that’s crazy." He shushed her. "At your disposal. It will be at the airport on Friday evening, ready to take you to Rome to meet me. I would like you to use it, Sasha. I would like you to stay with me. I won’t force you into anything you’re not comfortable w

    Sasha nodded, wondering when she became such an efficient liar. She felt so ashamed of herself. Lying to Tilly felt like torture. She was also worried about Kaleb. He'd never called to ask her why she didn't show up. At first, she'd dismissed it by telling herself that maybe he was just busy, but now it seemed like he probably didn't want to talk to her. And she couldn't blame him. —------------A week had passed, and Sasha found herself even more upset about Kaleb's silence. Did he even think of her at all? She wondered. She felt like she spent a great deal of time thinking about him for someone she just had a one night stand with. Sometimes she missed him and wanted to call him, and other times she was furious at him. He'd invited her to go to Rome with him for God's sake! Was that something he did all the time? Give a girl the best sex of her life, ask her to go away with him to one of the most romantic cities in the world and then disappear? How cruel! A week had passed and st

    "Wow! I mean wow!" Tilly snapped gleefully. "And, what else?"Sasha shrugged her slender shoulders. "I don't know." she replied. "You don't know?" Tilly pouted."I'm not sure." Sasha laughed at the reaction given. "What else other than the fact that I fucked someone else's man, and I'm officially a home wrecker.""Oh come on, Sasha!" Tilly argued. "It's not like they're married or something, right? I mean, it seems like the guy wants you too because why would he go through all that trouble… He sent those beautiful flowers too. If he really was in a happy relationship, he wouldn't do that" "Oh please!" Sasha rolled her eyes."I'm serious, Sasha. I don't think you should feel bad about it," Tilly insisted. "Like you said, it just happened." She reclaimed her bowl of cereal."I'm just glad you're not judging me, best friend," said Sasha with a weak smile. "That's the last thing I'd want to hear after everything that's happened." She reclined back in her seat, exhausted."Why would I ju

    It wasn’t even the smell of that guy's cigarette, although heaven knew they were an acquired taste. No, this had to be the start of morning sickness, and if she needed any further confirmation of her condition, this was it.A tentative tapping at the door roused her. "Sasha? Sasha, are you all right?" Naturally, it was Tilly. "Is something wrong?"Everything was wrong, thought Sasha heavily, struggling to pull herself together. But she managed to say, "No, I’m OK, Tilly. I think I must have eaten something that disagreed with me and when I smelled that guy's cigarette—" "Oh damn!" Tilly sounded disgusted, "I knew that was it. I hated the smell too" Sasha opened the door to find Tilly waiting outside, wringing her hands anxiously. "Sorry about that." Tilly said something Sasha couldn’t understand and then wrapped her arm about her shoulders. "Sorry" she murmured with evident concern. "Are you sure you are going to be alright?" Sasha nodded. "Yeah I'll be fine," she replied, "I just

    Sasha stared at her mother. She had never been able to hide things from her for too long because she always saw right through her. She thought about the best way to tell her mom about the pregnancy. She couldn't come up with any so she stood up. "I'm not troubled, mom..." she said. But when she looked back at her mom she saw her mom still had that concerned look on her face."You are not fooling me, Sasha" Penelope said, "I can tell that something is on your mind. I am your mother dear. You can tell me what it is."Sasha buried her face in her hands, "I don't think you want me to tell you about this. You're going to be so upset with me, and dad… Oh God he's going to be so furious. The both of you are going to be so disappointed" "Oh, Sasha,'' Penelope said, standing up and pulling her daughter into her arms. When she released her, Sasha stared at her with wide, sad eyes," Tell me what it is. Whatever happens, we'll face it together… As a family"Sasha couldn't hold it in anymore. She

    She lifted up Sasha's gown and her face underwent a startling transformation. "Oh, good heavens!" she exclaimed. "You’re fully dilated!" "Is that bad?" demanded Kaleb."No, it’s wonderful," answered the midwife." It means we’re going to have a baby! And sooner, rather than later!""Kaleb!" Sasha's voice cracked as she gripped onto his hand, her body tensing up to face the next contraction. "Please don’t leave me." "I’m not going anywhere, sugar!" Kaleb had never known an experience as powerful as seeing his child being born—but along with the pride came panic. He tried telling himself that women had been giving birth for centuries, in conditions far more threatening than the clean and antiseptic surroundings of this hospital delivery room.But nothing seemed to take the edge off his fears for Sasha and their baby.Nothing, that was, until Sasha gave one last shuddering groan—and a long, skinny object with a shock of dark hair emerged, shouting, into the world."It’s a boy!" beamed t

    Kaleb snapped the light on, and through the blinking of her eyes in reaction Sasha saw him glaring at her as though she had just uttered the most awful blasphemy."No!" he roared.Sasha pretended surprise. "You don’t want to keep having sex?" "Yes!" "Kaleb, if you’re going to yell like a hooligan then I suggest you go back to sleep!""If you weren’t pregnant I’d put you over my knee!" he retorted."If I weren’t pregnant, then you wouldn’t be here, buddy!" "Says who?" "Says me!" "Oh, yes, I would!" he said fervently.There was a pause. "You would?" Sasha gulped."Of course I would! Because sooner or later I would have come to my senses and realized just how much I love you. And I do, Sasha. I love you very much." She gazed back at him, too scared to hope for what had always seemed like an unattainable dream. He’d said the words, and she believed that he meant them— but was there substance behind them? Enough to withstand all the tests that life threw in the path of love?She thou

    He thrust harder this time and she felt the shudder roll through his body as he held himself deep inside her. He kissed her. Hungry. Passionate. With more desperation than she’d ever experienced from him. Their lovemaking had always been good, but he’d never lost control so quickly.She kissed him with just as much hunger, her hands sliding down his back and then up again to hold his head to hers.His hips trembled against her. They lay locked together, with him barely holding himself off her. Wanting that closeness to him—especially now— she urged him over to his side, rolling with him so they stayed together.Their limbs were tangled, their arms wrapped tightly around each other, and he was still pulsing deep inside her body. She tucked her head underneath his chin and breathed deeply of his scent, felt the erratic thump of his heart against her cheek.It was easy to forget all that had happened between them. It was easy to forget the pain and loneliness. It was easy to imagine that

    The satin caught on her hard, erect nipples and he tugged insistently until one breast came completely free. He cupped the plump mound and then lowered his head, sucking the nipple into his mouth.A shot of adrenaline slivered through her veins, edgy and sharp. She twisted restlessly beneath him as he sucked harder. She plunged her fingers through his short, cropped hair and then gripped the back of his head, holding him in place as she silently begged for more.He pulled at her nipple, drawing his head back until the taut nub came free of his mouth. Then he lifted his gaze to meet hers and butterflies scuttled around her belly when she saw the look in his eyes.“I want to make love to you, Sasha. I need you so much. But I won’t do this if it’s only going to make things worse. You have to want this as much as I do.”“I want it more,” she said hoarsely. And that was the truth. She’d always wanted him more. Craved him. Missed him when he wasn’t with her. Seeing him now, having him over

    "Kaleb!" She didn't think twice running toward him. "Fuck, you're definitely drunk! What were you thinking?" She was holding him, his arms around her shoulders, and hers around his waist."I'm not drunk," Kaleb hissed."Yeah, right. That's what all the drunkards say," she quipped while shutting the door behind them. "Let's get you to bed." She tried to scoot him toward the bed. But he didn't want to move. Instead, he took her in his arms, hugging her from behind, longingly. His hand slid to bump and he rubbed it gently. "Sasha," he uttered, his voice hoarse. She stilled in his brace. "Just for tonight, let's sleep together.""Sleep together?" Sasha murmured, her skin shuddered."Hmm," Kaleb replied, breathing into her hair."And then what?" Sasha asked gently, her chest rising and falling as she breathed. She loved being this closer to him. She still needed to feel him every single day. How stupid was she going to get? She could no longer understand."I don't know." Kaleb sighed, his

    Kaleb sighed again. "No, I knew I wanted you. I just didn't think we would reach this stage, you know… With the baby and…" he ran his hand through his hair, "... I thought it wasn't a big deal, but it began to be, and I was going to tell you.""When?" Sasha breathed."I honestly don't know, Sasha," Kaleb said truthfully. "I don't want to lie to you. There were times when I almost did and then for some reason I… I couldn't… Or didn't… I don't know" It was difficult for Sasha to understand him, and even harder to understand herself. She was so weak over him. What was she seeing in him? Yes he was handsome, sexy, rich, but was that enough to totally go nuts over him?"No, the answer is simple, Kaleb ," she uttered. "You just enjoyed seeing what a fool I am for pulling off my pants for you every time despite knowing you had a girlfriend. Was it entertaining?" She wanted to release all her doubts."That never crossed my mind, Sasha, you're being unfair," Kaleb said, his voice hurt. "But

    But other than being physical with him, was there anything else she was missing about him? She kept asking herself. When her phone buzzed again, she checked her phone quicker than she wanted.'All of it. I refuse to accept any of it, and that's why we should meet. We need to talk, and I'll personally make sure it happens, '"The audacity!" Sasha smirked when she read it. It was incredible how Kaleb kept exercising his controlling nature even in this situation. He was supposed to beg her, not ordering as he did. Sasha knew right from the start that avoiding Kaleb was impossible, but she still wanted to try. However, sooner or later she was going to face him, and it scared the hell out of her. He had become both her strength and weakness at the same time.She needed him to feel like someone had her back especially with the pregnancy and baby coming; and that was something Kaleb had done. She wanted someone to feel proud of her, and he'd shown that within a very short moment of their int

    It was Clark's turn to look confused now. He frowned, "Oh gosh. It looks like I've said too much and caused some trouble, have I not?" "No… No, you didn't. I'm okay," Sasha said, her voice low. "Um, just get the stuff you came for. It's nice to meet you, Clark" Sasha hurried back to the bedroom. She was lost in this new information and she felt some kind of relief and rage at the same time. She remained in a bad mood the entire day, and she was in the living room when Kaleb finally returned from work. He was in the middle of a phone call, holding the phone to his ear with his shoulder as he closed the door behind him. He beamed ecstatically when he saw Sasha, and even motioned for her to move closer to give him a hug. Her heart flipped, but she strictly ignored his gesture, making him frown. She had no time to even admire his handsome face and exquisite suit that multiplied his hot looks. No distractions at the moment! She declared to herself. "Sorry, I have something important t

    As he pushed closer still she trembled. He was so big and so strong and she was suddenly overwhelmed. But he moved so slowly, so carefully and then he kissed her again—in that deep, lush way, as if he’d wanted nothing more in all his life than to kiss her. As if she were the very oxygen he needed to survive. That was when everything melted within her and he slid to the hilt, so they were as deeply connected as they could possibly be. Her need coalesced again into a cascading reac-tion of movement. He pushed her to follow his sweet, hard, slick rhythm—into a dance she’d never known, but discovered she could do so damn well with him. His breathing roughened as she clutched him back, as she understood more the give and take, the meet and retreat of this magic. Together they moved faster, deeper…until she cried out as he brought unbearable, beautiful pleasure down upon her. As he broke through every last one of her boundaries to meet her right there—where there was light and heat and shee
