How fantastic would it be to have a place of my own to cook what Iwanted?

“So it would beyours too. I could just work for you then. It doesn’t have to be mine.” I trace a line over his tightstomach.

“No,” he says as he pulls my hand up to his lips and drops a sweet kiss on it. “I want to give you the whole thing. I can help you, but it will beyours.”

“Blake, what if I’m no good at it and it doesn’t make any money? I couldn’t do that to you,” I say as I bury my head in his wide chest. “It’s just toomuch.”

“I’ve got a ton of money, Rachelle. Believe me, it’s not toomuch.”

It makes a little bit of sense. “Maybe it would be a good idea. I’d like to try one here, in Los Angeles. It might be fun to find a place and fix it allup.”

“So say yes then, baby. Not maybe, yes!” He tickles my ribs a bit, sending me into a fit oflaughter.

He stops and I’m left near breathless. He looks at me with the most sincere expression. I place my palms on his cheeks and say, “Yes.”

Surprise invades the sincerity of his expression and he smiles. “Did the word, yes, just come out of those perfect, red lips ofyours?”

I nod and he laughs. Something deep inside me makes me hot as hell for this generous man and I find myself climbing over him, straddling his body, pressing my inner heat to hiswaist.

“What are you doing?” he asks as I pull my body up his, sliding it along his tautmuscles.

“I’d really like it if you’d do a little more than cuddle me.” I reach up to run my hands through hishair.

He takes my wrists, stopping me as he looks deep into my eyes. “You don’t have to do this, just because of what I’m doing for you. That’s not why I offered youthat.”

I return his look. “And that’s not why I want to do this. You showing up here like you did was the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me. You pushed me out of my comfort zone and I found myself happier than I’ve ever been. I just want to see if you can make me any happier than I amnow.”

The blue nearly leaves his blue, brown eyes as they darken. He tugs at my hair as he runs his hand through it. “You really want this? Cause it won’t be just sex,baby.”

“What will it be?” I ask inconfusion.

“It’ll be a commitment I make to you, and you to me. It will be what cements this thing you and I have. Where you’re concerned, I feel extremely possessive. When I make you mine, you will staymine.”

I’d laugh if he wasn’t so fucking intense right now. His hand runs over my back then he does the same with the other one, pulling me down to him. His body is hot and mine is quivering with need forhim.

“Make me yours,” I whisper though I’m scared to death what that reallymeans.

“As you wish, Rachelle.”

Rolling me to my back, Blake rakes his fingers across my chest. One breast he takes into his large hand and leans over to kiss it then he takes a little pull on it. A harder pull he makes and I groan as it pulls something deep in mystomach.

His hand runs over my stomach and down between my thighs. Soft strokes he makes up and down my heating folds. My little bud he takes between two fingers and twirls it until itaches.

Between the way that he’s sucking my breast and pulling on my clit has me shaking with desire with the need for him to fill me. But he’s not making that move yet and I’m about to fall over theedge.

This is the first time a man has made me orgasm. I was unsure I could under a man’s touch. But Blake is no ordinary man. One more press of his finger against my clit and a hard tug on my nipple sends me screaming his name as I fall into theabyss.

My legs shake as he releases my breast and moves down my body. His tongue darts inside me as he places his hands under my knees and pulls them up. My body is pulsing with the orgasm and he tastes the juices his touchmade.

I shiver as his wet, hot tongue glides up my folds and taps at the swollen bud. My hands fist in the sheets as he kisses me gently there. His hands run around, cupping an ass cheek in each one as he pulls my body tohim.

His sweet kiss goes hard in an instant and he nips at my little bud, making me scream for him. “Blake, God! Blake, please takeme!”

I can feel him smiling and he licks at my folds with a fervor I’ve never seen before. Like an animal, he licks every part of me, as if he’s marking me with his scent. Little bites he leaves behind every lick hemakes.

My body is growinghyper-sensitive with his attention. Nipping and sucking at my clit, he stops suddenly and looks at me. I open my eyes to see why’s he’s stopped. I’m soclose.

“Come!” he orders and stares into myeyes.
