She clutched the bedspread in her hands and begged him to send her into ecstasy.Reaching around her waist, he found her clit with his fingers and rubbed the little pearl as fast as he could.Thrusting her hips back toward him, Maura screamed as she climaxed around him.Her tight, quivering walls squeezed his shaft and sent him flying over the edge after her.“Fuuuuuck!Shit!”
He came with the force of a hurricane, shooting his cum in waves inside her, and for the first time in his life, he cursed the protection he wore.What he wouldn’t give to know what it was like to be bareback in her hot cunt.Bright lights flashed behind his closed eyelids, and he felt like he was on a dizzying amusement park ride.Their dueling orgasms seemed to go on forever until they finally collapsed in a sweaty, heaving, satiated heap on the bed.
He slid out of her warmth and rolled to the side when he finally had the strength.He quickly disposed of the condom and lay back down beside her, pulling her against him.They were asleep within minutes.
They spent the rest of the day and night in bed, leaving only for the occasional food or drink for energy or a bathroom break.Moriah couldn’t get enough of the man.She knew she had planned to sneak out that night, but after KC had taken her back to his bed, she couldn’t deny herself this one last night with him.
Now, at just after midnight, lying next to him as he snored softly, she brushed her hand over his chest and abdomen.She knew from her brief experience with him that he would wake up and teasingly pull her back into his embrace if she tried to get out of bed.And that, of course, would lead to another round of passionate lovemaking.He was insatiable, and it seemed he’d awakened the sexual beast within her because she couldn’t say no whenever he started nibbling on her neck and shoulders.And then, by the time he worked his way down her body and licked her clit, she’d be reduced to begging for him to fuck her over and over again.
Who knew she could satisfy a man as virile as him?Definitely not the woman she’d been a few days ago.
Sighing, she rested her head on his shoulder and felt his arm around her tighten.She would have to make her escape tomorrow.Maybe she could send him into town for something.She worried it was a mean thing to do, running away without warning or an explanation, but she didn’t know what else to do.If she stayed here, she would eventually be discovered or, even worse, put KC in danger.She loved him too much to do that, so her only alternative was to run as far away from him as she could.
For now, though, she would make memories to take with her, to comfort her when she was finally alone again.And no matter where she ended up next, she knew she would leave her heart here with him.
Chapter16
The sound of knocking at the back-porch door the next morning, followed by a loud bark, had both Moriah and KC moaning as they rolled from a mutual embrace and wiped the sleep from their eyes.Moriah glanced at the bedside clock and was surprised to see it was after nine.KC had held her close the entire night, and she’d slept like a baby—another memory to keep for when she was back on her own again.
KC groaned loudly as he sat up and ran a hand through his unruly hair.“Sounds like Uncle Dan.”
Not wanting to be caught in KC’s bedroom, Moriah jumped up and frantically searched for her clothes.Swinging his feet off the side of the bed, he stood and grabbed a pair of sweatpants from his duffel.“Calm down.He’ll wait on the deck for us.”
Stopping short, Moriah gaped at him, her face redder than he’d ever seen.Clearly mortified, she almost yelled, “He knows we’ve slept together?”
“He’s hoping we are.”KC was mildly irritated at the morning’s interruption.He’d wanted to shower with her before treating her to breakfast in town.“He’s a bit of a matchmaker.Don’t be embarrassed.Uncle Dan is a true romantic and would never make you self-conscious about it.”
She nodded, but he could tell she was still not thrilled with the revelation by the way she was biting her bottom lip.KC threw on a clean T-shirt, kissed her sweetly on the tip of her nose, and headed for the bedroom door.“Go ahead and have a shower before joining us.”
After stopping in the hallway bathroom to relieve himself, he exited the cottage and found his uncle downstairs on the patio with a knowing grin on his face.The older man’s eyes sparkled with delight.“Hope I didn’t interrupt anything.Or did I?”
KC furrowed his brow as he descended the staircase.“Don’t be talking like that when Maura comes out.I told her you were a complete gentleman.”
“That I am, laddie,” Dan replied, using his mother’s off-the-boat Irish accent.“So, have you thought about what you’ll do about Team Six yet?”
Sighing, KC dropped onto the loveseat opposite his uncle.“I don’t know.As much as I hate to leave my men, I think it’s time.I spoke to Admiral Cohen before I left and told him I’d have an answer for him when I returned to duty.”
“You’ll make a fine instructor.”
KC nodded.“That’s what the admiral said.”
“Then he’s a smart man.”
Glancing around, KC realized something was amiss.“Where’s that mutt of yours?He’s usually slobbering all over me or passed out on my feet by now.”
Dan surveyed the area.“Around here somewhere.He wouldn’t wander far.”
He heard a noise and peered into the darkness below the cottage.“Damn dog is digging under the house.”Rising to his feet, he strode over and crouched down at the edge of the patio.“Get outta there, Jinx!”
His uncle appeared next to him.“Must have found a crab or something.”
The black dog had dug a large hole near the center of the house and appeared to be pulling something out of it.Annoyed, KC climbed under the floor joists and crab-walked to where the dog desperately tried to make the hole bigger.“What the fuck are you digging for, dog ...gold?”
Jinx paused to look up at him with a big sandy grin, then immediately went back to work.KC pushed the dog out of the way and peered into the opening.Seeing black nylon fabric exposed, he brushed away more of the sand.When he realized it was a duffel bag, he grabbed its strap and pulled it from the hole.Pulling back the zipper, he sat down hard and stared at the contents.“Holy, fucking shit!”
“What is it?”Dan asked from the patio.
Dumbfounded, he fingered the banded stacks of bills, which added up to more cash than he had ever seen at one time.Regaining his senses, he started to crawl out with the bag when he heard footsteps on the stairs.Despite being underneath the house, he was still able to hear her.“Hi, Dan.Where’s KC?I thought he was out here with you.”
