Curtis
Daniel. And I’m not going to…what are you doing now?”
He sat up and reached into his coat pocket before lying back down beside her. “Curtis,
you have to know that we can’t suit. We have different things we want out of
life, things—”
    “Do you want to be happy, Kylie?” She
nodded. “I want you to be happy as well. Do you want to be with someone that
you could love forever?” She nodded again and started to speak, but he put his
hand over her mouth. “I’m not finished. I want you to be happy at all costs. I
want to keep you safe and warm. I love you, Kylie Washington, and have since
the first time I had you beneath me.”
    “Curtis, even you know that you can’t
love someone that fast. We only had sex a few days ago. It’s just that you’re
needy and I’m here.” He kissed her long and hard and left her breathless. “That
was nice.”
    He laughed. “The first time I had you
beneath me was when you decided to play football with us. Remember? It was a
cold fall day and you’d been watching us…well, watching Daniel, from your
porch. When we decided to even up the sides when Jesse went in the house you
came over and tried to play. I tackled you and gave you a concussion. Your
father was pissed, hell, my mother was livid for a week, and you had a shiner
and stitches in your lower lip.” He pulled the scarred area into his mouth and
nipped. “I’ve wanted to do that for years.”
    She closed her eyes when he continued a
path down to her neck. By the time he had her blouse open again, she was
wrapping her fingers into his hair. Need coiled in her belly and she wanted him
to take her now. As soon as his hot mouth took her nipple she arched up to him
and held him to her.
    “Kylie, I can’t take you here, but I can
give you what you need.” She nodded. Anything to ease the ache in her body. “You’ll
have to be quiet, love. When you come, you have a tendency to scream. If you do
that we’ll get caught. Can you keep it down to a dull roar?”
    “Yes. Please, Curtis. I hurt with need.”
He moved his hand down her waist to the top of her jeans. When he slid his
fingers under the band she moaned deep, and nearly came up off the mattress
when he opened the button.
    “Quiet now. This is going to be fast
because if I take too much time, I’m going to get naked and slide my cock deep
into your heat.” His fingers moved to her panties and she widened her legs. “That’s
it, baby. Let me touch you.”
    As soon as he moved into her folds she
knew that she wasn’t going to last much longer. Riding his hand as his mouth
took her breast, she had to bite her hand to keep quiet. This was much harder
than she’d thought it would be. As he worried her clit and her nipple, she
reached for him. A slight brush against his cock made him moan.
    “Don’t, love.” His voice was heavy with
need. “If you touch me again I’m going to come in my pants. And as appealing as
that sounds right now, everyone in this hospital is going to see what we’ve
been up to.” He slid his finger into her, pushed his thumb against her clit,
and she came apart. His hand coming down over her mouth made her realize that
she was crying out, but she didn’t care at this point. Her world was suddenly a
bright kaleidoscope of colors and stars. Her last thought before she blacked
out was that she loved him.

Chapter 9
     
    Eric read the paper twice. There was
nothing about the old man being dead. So, he thought, the woman, whoever she
was, had gotten there in time. He had hoped that with her father dead the woman
would sell him the property without a quibble. But it seemed that plan hadn’t
worked either. He glared at the note again.
    “‘M’ who?” he asked the paper again. He’d
spent most of the night going over every entry in the stupid notebook and hadn’t
found a single name that began with the letter. Then he’d gone over the book
everywhere, binding as well as the pages, to see if there was something hidden
within
