Kisses for the Billionaire: Final Kiss by M. G. Morgan

answer was but it didn’t make it any easier.
    Aaron shook his head and followed Killian from the room, leaving me with David.
    “He’s not going to try and use any of this against you,” I said, getting up from my seat and crossing the room to drop down beside David.
    “How can you be so certain?”
    “Because all he really wants is to get as far away as he can from you and me. He just doesn’t want to get involved in any of this,” I answered talking David’s hand into my own and stroking my fingers and down his skin.
    “Carrie, what am I supposed to do? I know where Andy and Dominic will be tomorrow night but how do I end any of this? If I don’t do as they ask…” he trailed off and wrapped his hand around mine. “I won’t lose you, I won’t risk that.”
    His words had a ring of finality to them and I pressed my hand to his face, forcing him to glance around at me. “What does that mean, what won’t you risk?” There was a note of panic in my voice that I couldn’t shake.
    “I’ll do what I must to protect you, Carrie, no matter what it takes. If I can’t convince Andy and Dominic to see sense then I’ll do what needs to be done.”
    “It won’t come to that, David, you’ll convince them, I know you will…” I wasn’t sure who I was trying to convince but David smiled and nodded but I couldn’t tell if he believed me or not.
    He moved in towards me, his lips gentle against mine, his kiss feather light but it quickly became more. Whimpering I pressed my body to his, we’d started something earlier, something that needed to be finished and I was done waiting.
    David wrapped his hands around me, lifting me from the couch onto his lap and I went willingly. The feel of his fingers sliding up beneath the jumper I wore, the skin on skin contact sending shivers of desire racing down through my core.
    I bit down on his lip softly as he tightened his hold, crushing my chest to his.
    There was a knock on the door that had David groaning against my mouth. Frustration made my body ache and I pulled away from his embrace.
    “Wait for me upstairs… I won’t be long,” he said, his eyes had darkened with lust and I felt my core tighten in response to his promise.
    Without uttering a word I climbed from his lap, my legs unsteady beneath me as I made my way to the door and tugged it open. Aaron stood outside, and the moment his eyes fell on mine his knowing glance sent heat into my cheeks.
    I practically ran from the room, my legs like jelly as I climbed the stairs. I’d seen the look in David’s eyes, there was no way in hell he would keep me waiting.

    R eaching the bedroom I stepped inside and halted, my heart raced in my chest and I could still feel the tingling across my skin where David had touched me.
    I needed his touch, the feel of his body against mine. There was a niggling feeling in the back of my mind that it was something I needed to do, we needed to reconnect.
    Taylor had done his best to rip us apart, to destroy what we held precious but he hadn’t succeeded, so why did it still feel as though he had? None of it made any sense and yet I couldn’t shake the niggling doubt.
    Staring at my reflection in the mirror I could still see the lingering effects of being stuck in the Banks home. Every time I tried to sleep I could still remember the feel of Taylor’s hand on my bump as he’d tried to crush the life growing inside me.
    Even though he was dead I couldn’t shake that memory.
    The door cracked open and David stood framed in the doorway, the look on his face was ferocious. There was a hunger in his gaze that sent a shiver of desire racing all the way from my head down to my toes.
    He stepped into the room and slowly slipped out of his suit jacket, his dark gaze never leaving my face. I was like a butterfly pinned beneath his gaze.
    It was a struggle just to remember to breathe as he moved into the middle of the room. He tossed the jacket aside and immediately began unbuttoning
