He dropped his head back. “One step forward, two steps back.”

“Jeez, Ivan!” I stood and walked to the window. “We’ve been dating for, like, ten days.”

“And fucking for weeks.”

I closed my eyes briefly. “Apparently fucking and dating are one and the same for you.”

“They are where you’re concerned.”

Because our relationship was primarily sex, I wanted to say. Because it followed your addiction with barely any regard for my own.

“I’m not having this conversation. I’m not going to argue about this. It’s ridiculous.” I walked into his room and stuffed my feet into my boots. I grabbed my purse and headed towards the door.

“What is it with you and running away?”

“I’m not running away. I’m walking away from a situation

    “I try.” He winked, laughing when I raised an eyebrow. “I’m kidding. I don’t need to try.”I smacked his chest with the backs of my fingers. “You’re such an idiot.”“It’s why I’m so endearing. I mean, who wouldn’t want a complete and utter idiot who makes kids laugh by singing Humpty Dumpy out of tune?” He carefully put his things in the trunk of the car.Warmth spread through my stomach and I smiled, leaning against his car, my eyes following him as he walked around it. “Oh, yes. A guy who can make kids laugh is the most undesirable thing ever. How dare you be so cute?” I rolled my eyes and sat in the car.“Cute? Did you just call me fucking cute?”I looked over at him. Well, he looked kind of offended. “Honey, you have dimples. Dimples. You are, by default, t

    He released me and headed for my door.Panic constricted my lungs. I couldn’t breathe. He was going. Why? Why is he going? He can’t go.“Where are you going?” I almost shouted, pressing my fists into my stomach.“Somewhere other than here so you can think about what you and I really are.”'Going? No. No—he is not walking away when I’ve finally told him that there’s more than just sex. It was a totally roundabout way, but I told him. And I don’t need to think.'I knew what we were. We’re crazy and painful and consuming. We’re the rainbow through the storm and the rain on a hot summer’s day. We’re the light and dark, everything bad and everything good.“Don’t go.” The words tumbled from me. Desperately, my voice cracked and I begged. “Ivan. Don’t. Please.&

    Ivan’s laugh followed me through to the bathroom—probably because he knew I was not exaggerating.I jumped into the shower, wash off, and walked out into Ivan’s arms. He wrapped a towel around my body, grinning, and kissed my forehead.“Towels. So overrated.”I laughed and stepped back, tucking the end of the towel in at the top so it stayed in place. I grabbed the second from him and wrapped my hair up. “Overrated but necessary,” I responded, shoving my toothbrush in my mouth.“Depends on your definition of the word necessary.” He grabbed a second toothbrush from the holder.I paused, stared at it, then pointed my own brush at it. “What is that?” I asked through a mouthful of froth.“It’s a toothbrush, baby girl. What else would it be?”“Cocky prick.” I spitted ou

    “Yeah? How long for?”“Only ‘til the end of the year. My diary doesn’t go past that yet.” He grinned and pulled me in for a kiss. He hummed against my mouth, the gentle sound vibrating his lips against mine. “Now go make up a menu. I expect a Blow Job as soon as possible.”I dropped my hand to his pants and brushed my thumb over the material covering his half-erect cock. “And I expect a Screaming Orgasm. Pencil that in.”I left the car after one final kiss. He laughed yet again, a sound I’m certain I’ll never tire of, and I waved just before stepping inside the bar.Now, the bar was a totally different place than it was the last time I was here. Downstairs was painted, the bar was completely erected, and all the necessary furniture was on the dance floor, still covered in plastic. The bar was covered with a p

    Her words were true. Too true. I met her eyes for a second before looking away again.Fuck. Give Ms. Love Cynic a ring on her finger and she really did turn into Seattle’s resident love guru. Give me a break.“You’ll be pleased to know that I finally booked your bachelorette weekend,” I said, knowing it’ll get her off the topic of my relationship.“No shit?”I grinned. “Next weekend. You, me, Mish, right?”She nodded. “Moni has to manage the girls and Aunt Leigh is on vacation with her new boyfriend. I can’t believe you actually booked it. For next weekend like I wanted?”I examined my nails. “I may have dropped Aaron’s name into one or two phone calls.” I glanced up and smirked.“Of course you did.” She smiled and stood, grabbing her purse

    Ivan laughed loudly. “And did you get that from my sister?” “Actually, no. I used this thing called a brain. You might have heard of them.” “Oh, you mean you have one, too? I thought that peculiar phenomenon only existed at the end of my cock.” I bit the inside of my cheek. “Dick.” “How apt.” “You’re such a twat.” He looked over his shoulder and winked. “I love it when you call me that. It’s kind of hot.” “Twat? Really? That’s hot?” “Oh, no, wait. That’s just me.” I covered my mouth with my hand to stop my laughter escaping and held my phone to my ear. “Hello, 911? We have a serious cause of Overgrown Ego-Itis that needs immediate attention.” Ivan leaned across the table and grabbed the phone off me, laughing to himself. “You’d be missing out if I wasn’t so cocky. Shit, Brenda. Could you im

    He tied the knot firmly and stepped forward toward me. He trailed his fingertips up my spine and entwined my hair around them. Then, with one tight tug, he pulled my head back.“There,” he whispered in my ear. “Perfect.”His breath fanned across my skin hotly as he pushed me toward the bed. His movements were so controlled and precise, an absolute contradiction to mine. I was shaking, trembling, quivering.Ivan eased me to kneeling by the side of the bed, and resting my hands on top of it, he placed his mouth by my ear. “You still owe me a fuck over the bed,” he said. “And I’m taking it now.”His blunt words did crazy shit to me. I drew in a breath, my heart pounded, and my pussy throbbed all at the same time. If it weren’t before, my body was on high alert, ready to take him and all he has to give.He bent down b

    This was a wild addiction, one that will never be tamed.And I loved it as much as I hated it.I could feel it flooding my veins, filling every part of me with a searing need that could only be soothed by his touch. Even his voice—that would take the edge of needing him so completely off.Because I did. I needed him so fucking entirely I almost missed the turn-off to my parents’ place.I caught it in time and swerved down the old road. It took me just two minutes to travel down it, and as I slowed, I realized that I was doing way over the limit. Shit. I was lucky a cop didn’t drive past me.I tugged my keys from the ignition and rested my forehead against the top of the steering wheel. Air filled my lungs with my deep breath designed to calm and sooth.When my heart had resumed its usual rhythm, I pushed open my car door and stepped onto the drive.

    “What… What is this?” I swallowed, looking at Ivan. He was grinning, but it was nervous. And I didn’t blame him. I wanted to know why he was standing next to an officiant and Aaron and Dayton. “How did you two—what? I don’t understand. Ivan, what the hell are you doing?” He laughed silently and stepped up to me. Then he took my hands in his and slowly linked our fingers. “Marry me,” he whispered. “Right now.” My lips parted and I shuddered out a breath. “For real? This isn’t a joke?” He shook his head. “Forever, Brenda. It’s only ever going to be you for me.” I looked over his shoulder at my best friend and her new husband. “But—they—” “Told me to,” he replied. “I like surprises, remember?” I opened my mouth, but how do you respond to the truth? I told him that once. “

    His tongue swirled and skimmed across my body, tasting every inch of my skin. Each lick was like a blazing swipe of fire, searing into me, branding me to him. As Ivan travelled down across my stomach, he hooked his fingers in the sides of my shorts and pulled. “No knickers. Good girl,” he hummed against my hips. “Surprise.” My voice hitched as he pressed his lips to the top of my thigh. He smiled against my skin and removed my shorts completely. After discarding his own shirt, he bent down and bend my legs up. My chest rose and fell frantically, my breathing harsh. His fingers teased the inside of my closed thighs, working their way between them. But more than that, his breath on my pussy. Oh, god. I closed my eyes as he parted my legs fully and blew on me. I clenched everywhere, anticipation trembling in my legs. “This,” he murmured, kissing m

    “Because they like to fuck with you.” I smiled sweetly. “What did they talk about today?”His face darkened. “When I slept with my student.”My curiosity piqued. I’ve never actually asked about it—why he did it. No matter how much I wanted to, it never seemed like the right time. Besides, it was not dinner conversation, was it?“And?” I asked, trying not to show my interest.I failed, because he smirked and joined me at the table. “Brenda, if you want to know, just ask me. It’s fresh in my mind, funnily enough.”“Uhh. Okay. Why did you do it?” I looked at him now.“Honestly, it was a mistake. I’d met her sister a couple of times, and there was only a couple of years between them. They looked very alike. I arranged to meet her sister for a few drinks one night, but i

    “Without this bitch?” I shoved the IV forward.“No, you’re not taking it out. They only just changed the bag. You know they said they’ll take it out when it’s empty. Now sit down and wait a minute.”I sat in the chair he was just in and grumbled something I didn’t even understand. I didn’t actually think I said any words, just a bunch of awkward, annoyed sounds put together.Truth was, I knew I had to keep the IV line in. I knew I had to stay there until they say otherwise, but the problem with hospitals is that they’re not exactly relaxing. They’re too clinical and sterile. And boring. Completely boring.“Okay,” Ivan said, coming back in. “You can get dressed and come down to the shop with me.”“And how hard did you have to charm her for that?” I grunted, getting up.

    I raised my eyebrows. “For once? So all the times I did what you wanted in bed don’t count?”His grin turned sexy. “You had to do that. We had an agreement.”“But they still count!”“When you’re better, you’ll have to remind me of how they count.” He curved his fingers around the back of my neck and kissed me. “Until then, though, you’re moving in with me.”“You already decided that.”“I know. But now I’m deciding again. And while you’re resting in bed, growing that beautiful baby and not vomiting all over my shiny toilet”—I punched his leg—“you can house hunt.”“House hunt?”“Yes. For us.”I blinked at him. “Um.”“Somewhere close to Day’s place.”

    I nodded. “Will it hurt the baby?”“No, the illness itself won’t, but the dehydration can. Normally, I would listen in to baby’s heartbeat now, but since you’re so early, I probably won’t be able to pick it up.”I curled my fingers around Ivan’s and squeezed. Hard. “So what? How can you check?”“We’ll take you for an ultrasound at nine a.m. We took blood when you came in and I rushed the HCG results. The numbers put you at around nine weeks, so we’ll get a clear view of baby on the screen.” She stood. “The best thing you can do is get some sleep.”“I’ll try.”“And, Brenda?” She opened the door and stopped. “Don’t worry. Sickness is usually a good sign. It means you have high hormone levels and a healthy baby in there.”

    “How the hell do you expect me to leave you? Look at you! I can’t walk out of here after seeing you like this! It goes against bloody everything in me to do that.”“But I told you I’d call if I needed you.” My head pounded and I closed my eyes. “You shouldn’t have been here in the first place, so just forget you ever came.” I pushed past him and pulled two Tylenol out of the drawer.And stared at the glass dumbly because I couldn’t fucking keep anything down.I threw the glass in the sink and it dropped with a smash. I rested my forehead against the fridge, the tears spilling over my eyes.“Brenda,” he whispered.“I’ve never been in so much fucking pain in my life. My head is thumping and my stomach hurts so bad, but there’s nothing I can do, because I can’t keep a single fuckin

    Mark laughed. “I didn’t mean it so simply. I mean that, once a day, take thirty minutes for yourself and do something that’s you. It’s all about perspective, Brenda. If you allow yourself to make everything about him, it will be.”“It’s not about allowing myself. I can’t help it. He’s the center of my world. Hell, he’s the center of my whole damn universe, and all I can do is hold on to his gravitational pull while I spin out of control.”“You can help it. Of course you can. It’s your decision, and you have control because you’re aware of it. You’re in the position where you can grab your addiction by the balls and deal with it.”“Is that professional lingo, Doctor? Grabbing addiction by the balls?”He half-grinned. “If it’s not, it should be. It’s a very

    All of it. For him. For me. For the baby.Without a second thought. Because we were more than addiction. It was hard to remember sometimes; we were stronger than the ties that bounded us in the beginning.We are not addiction. We are love in its strongest, purest form, no matter how wrinkly or rough it is. We are indestructible, and I truly believe that, one day, we’ll be able to weather any storm.Right now, we’re the eye of the storm. We’re the tornado touching down on the ground, and our relationship was in a whirlwind, destructive spin above us. If we try hard enough, we can slow the spin and the devastation.If we try hard enough, we can erase the storm and pave the way for the mess to be fixed.My bed dipped as I rolled over, yawning. I snuggled back into the covers and reached for the quilt. It felt like something hard, something warm, though. And
