he allowed his feelings free the way this woman had taught him so long ago. Ty had practiced all these years, found every self-help book, went to every mystic and crack pot he could find without it jeopardizing his job on the pretense of it being a hobby so he could learn what he needed, learn and understand what made his woman tick.
His woman. Ty opened his mind and gently reached for the tentacles of light that were Melissa McKinney.
Softness and velvet floated out on the vastness before him that glowed with a tinge of sadness and he recognized it immediately. Reaching out, Ty pulled it to him and immediately felt the innate goodness and power held within her, yet sensed the reserved core she protected at all cost. So much hurt, so many times she had been crushed by those who should have protected her and didn’t. No more!
“Lisa, listen to me.” Ty opened his eyes and realized Melissa’s were also closed but she had stopped shaking. He gently shook her, making her open those incredible eyes again. “Are you paying attention, minx?”
“Don’t think I have a choice, do you?” she countered, a saucy grin finally pushing up in the corners of her lush mouth.
“Good because this is a two way conversation we’re having here.” He licked her chin up to her lips and gently kissed them again.
“Could have fooled me!” He heard her little defiance but could also see the twinkle back in her passion-filled eyes.
“I want you.” There, it was out in the open now.
He watched her eyes fill with something and then clear. When she took a deep breath Ty was sure it was tell him to go to hell.
“Well cowboy, it’s about damn time!” She didn’t blink, didn’t smile, and didn’t move. She just stared at Ty and waited.
“Ah hell,” he growled as he attacked her mouth again, letting go of her hands and pulling her close.
Chapter 15
As soon as Melissa’s hands were free she wrapped them around Ty’s wide shoulders and held on tight. It was a long time before he allowed her to come up for air but when she did her head was spinning and her body was on fire. If she could she would rather climb into Ty’s body than have him lying there on top of her. It was still too far away.
She wrapped her legs around his hips and tried to pull him closer then realized it put Ty’s impressive cock in the perfect position to get exactly where she wanted it. With a tilt of her hips, she tried to get him to move, to impale herself on his impressive length, anything to ease the terrible ache that was clawing at her insides to have him fill her and make her whole for just once in her life.
“Easy baby, give me a minute,” he whispered next to her ear as he tried to pull away.
“No, please!” she mewled, pulling him back down to her.
“Shush, I’ve got to glove up. I won’t risk you,” he told her fiercely, kissing the tip of her nose.
“I’m on protection.” She couldn’t take the pill so an IUD had been a great invention once all the kinks had been worked out. No worries about prescriptions, no side effects and almost full proof.
“That may be true and I know both of us are tested on a regular basis because of our jobs, but until we can do it for the right reasons we play safe!” He reached for the strip of packets near the pillows and tore one off. With practiced ease he had it out and rolled on before Melissa could argue. “I want to feel you bare, woman. I’ve never in my life taken anyone bare and you will be the first. And I won’t, not until we are both tested. I will never risk you, for any reason.”
At that moment, Melissa knew she loved him for all the right reasons. Ty DuValle was her knight in shining armor, the one person who knew all her secrets both good and bad and still loved her. He was the one who came for her when no one else had and she knew he would be there when no one else would be.
“Love me,” she whispered to him, her heart in her eyes.
“Ah woman, don’t you know I’ve
