“I do you as well.But we need a place to be able to have some privacy, and house hunting won’t give us that.”She asked him about tonight.“You want me to spend the night with you?That would be fantastic.And fun.If you’re sure.I don’t want to rush you into anything that you’re not willing to do.”
“You didn’t suggest it, I did.”She smiled at him.“Yes, I want you to come and sleep with me.And to have sex.I want you, as I said.”
“All right.We’ll go to my place as it’s got clean sheets on the bed.I want you to know that I’ve never taken anyone back to my place before.”She said that she was glad that he’d said that.“You’ll get more magic.I’m not sure how that will affect you when you do get it.Brandy and the others were down for a few hours when they got it, so I want you to remember that.Are you sure you want to do this?”
“I’m about as sure of it as I have been anything in my life.”She looked out the front window of his car and smiled.“We’ll never get there if we don’t leave soon.I’m going to rock your world when I get you naked.”
“Christ, the things that come out of your mouth.”She laughed.Just threw back her head and laughed like it caught her off guard.When she looked at him, he had to smile.The mirth on her facewas something that he’d never forget.She was so lovely that he couldn’t remember a time in his life when she wasn’t a part of it.It was like he’d been waiting for her his entire life.“I love you, Sen.So very much that I don’t know what to do with all this love that I have for you.”
“Thank you.”The drive back to her place was a little tricky.The weather had changed again from rain to frozen ice.The roads were slick in places, but it was the black ice that had him taking his time on the way.He was so tense when they got back to the new house that he had to sit in the driveway for several minutes to calm himself down, and he thought for sure that it was going to take him forever to get back under the wheel.“I don’t care for this kind of weather.I’m going to have to get myself a better car with Four Wheel Drive soon so that I can get out and about without any trouble.Do you have a car?”
“I do, remember?”He said that he did remember now.“I don’t drive much.Usually, I just walk everywhere I want to be.However, with this weather, I have been driving more.And like you, it makes me tense when I have to drive when it’s nasty out.”
“Then it’s settled.We’ll get ourselves a new car each with Four Wheel Drive so that we can get around in the weather.Also, in the spring, the weather is nasty too, with all the rain and melting snow.I suppose we’ll need to get used to driving in this with the new cars again.I’ve never had a new car before.”She said that her car was the first one she’d ever gotten when she started driving.“You must take good care of it.I never would have thought it was that old.”
They made their way into the condo, and he salted the walkway that led up to the place.It was like the road was slick, and he almost fell twice when going up the stairs.He was worried about what the morning would bring, with it getting colder throughout the night.They were calling for snow, and he could believe it, but the report said only a dusting, and as it stood right now, they had that much and more on the walkway.He shoveled off what was there as he salted the walks.He didn’t want Sen to fall just because it was cold outside.
After putting away the shovel, glad that there was enough salt around to get all the walks cleaned off, he made sure that things were safe for the two of them when they went into his condo.Locking up the doors, he was happy to remember that he had a security system in the condo and cameras all around the place in the event that Debra came around.And she would, too, of that he had no doubt.And she’d be gunning for Sen when she did, too.That scared him so much that he thought that he’d not get any sleep worrying about it.
Then he remembered that she’d not know where he lived.That took a load of worry off his shoulders, and he was glad that he had talked her into coming to his place.The condo was smaller than her home, but it was cleaned up and there wasn’t any kind of mess in the rooms.Plus, the sheets had been put in the washer since she’d wanted clean sheets on all the beds.His place already had that, and he was glad that he’d taken the time to get them in the washer and changed out.
Chapter 6
Sen loved the little place.It was neat, like she liked things, and there was enough room in the place that she could spread out if she wanted.All she wanted now was to go to bed with Ivan and make love all night.However, they were both stressed out from driving, and her mother, so they talked about how things were going with her inheritance.He told her what he thought about her mother, too.
“She’s dangerous, isn’t she?”Sen told him that she’d not noticed that before, as she’d been the only one dealing with her.“I can see that.You’d have to be on your toes all the time when she was around.”
“Not only that, but she’s simply too stressful to be around for any reason.Like having a meal with her is a nightmare.She makes demands of not just me when we go out, but of the staff, too.I’m sure that they spit in her food.I would if I had to deal with her.I’m picky too, but she’s off the charts in having things done her way.”She said she was just a normal picky in that she ate the same things all the time.“Yes, but mother would demand that they take things out of her salad, like cucumbers and onions, and tell them she wanted things like scallops and shrimp in it as a free replacement.Like her substituting things out was the same price as the side salad was in the first place.She would drive me crazy with her demands.”
“That’s why you ordered for her when we had lunch with her the other day.So that she’d not make a scene.I understand that now.”She said if she hadn’t been so shocked, she might well have taken exception to her ordering for her.“I can see that too.I think she likes drama so long as it’s not pointed at her all the time.”
“True.She loves to cause drama between people, but doesn’t want bad attention on herself.That makes her angry.”She pretended to think about what she said.“No, I think it really pisses her off when things don’t go her way.Especially when things don’t go her way.That really pisses her off.She huffs a lot, too.That usually gets her what she wants when she makes a fuss about something like that.I’ve known her to get herself in a better position in grocery lines when she huffs and puffs at people in front of her.”
“Christ, she’s worse than I thought.”Sen told him that she was far worse than anyone ever realized.“I’m glad that you’re keeping away from her.I find her threats of killing you scary.I believe that she will try to do it too.She seems like the type that would think she was justified in doing the job, too, because you got more than her.I think you were right in not telling her about the money.She’d kill you simply because she would feel that it belonged to her, because she was your mother.I think that’s why she goes on about Robert being her brother.Because that’s supposed to be justified in her mind.”
“I get that as well.”Sen didn’t want to talk about her mother anymore and told Ivan that.“I just want to have a nice evening with you and hang out.She’s not allowed to be a part of this part of our lives.If we talk about her, that makes what she does seem to be all right.And it’s far from all right.”
“I agree.Let’s go to the bedroom and make love all night.”Ivan wiggled his brows at her, and she had to laugh.“There’s the laughter that I’ve been hoping for.You’re very beautiful when you smile or laugh.I love the way that your eyes sparkle when you laugh, too.”
“I haven’t had much of an occasion to think things were funny with all this going on about my family.”She looked up at Ivan, who was several inches taller than her.“I love you so much.We’re going to be happy for a long time, don’t you think?”
“I know that we’re going to be happy for the rest of our lives together.Tomorrow we’ll find us a forever home and if you wish, raise children together to be happy little people that grow up to be fantastic adults.”She said she wanted several children so they’d not be only children.“I understand that.It must have been hard being an only child when you were growing up.I don’t know what I’d dowithout my brothers around.They’re my world, and now you are too.”
When he pulled her into his arms, she let him.It was nice being close to him, and when he ran his hands up and down her back, she could feel the tension that she had go away.Everything about this man made her feel better, and she couldn’t believe how lucky she was in having him in her life.Now, only if she could get rid of her mother, she’d be about as happy as she’d ever been before.And that was spending time without her mother, but with her uncle and aunt.
The bed was made, which she didn’t know why, but it surprised her.He was organized as much as she was, so it made sense that his bed was made.She made hers as soon as she got up in the morning as well.She hated to get into a bed that wasn’t made up.Sen put her arms up and over his shoulders as he stood there.As he unbuttoned her blouse, she watched his face.Christ, she was so in love with this man that it took her breath away when she thought about it.
When he kissed her, passion was high, and she could feel his erection through his pants, and she moved closer to him.As soon as he cupped her ass, pulling her closer to his body, she moaned out loud and was surprised that his own moan made her wet with need.Everything about this man made her want more of him.
As he pulled at her clothing, she did the same to him.Sen wanted him naked and inside of her now, and she didn’t want to waste any time in waiting for him to get around to doing so.Giddy with the knowledge that they were going to have sex, she nearly slapped him with his belt when she pulled it free of his pants.His laughter made her slightly embarrassed.
“How about if we get ourselves undressed that way we won’t hurt one another.”She said she was in a hurry because she wanted him so badly.“And I want you.However, I don’t want to hurt you because my wolf wants you naked as well.He wants to tear at your clothing so that I can have you.”
“He sounds like a man or wolf after my own heart.”Taking a step back from him, she hurried to undress.Before she could get her pants off, she looked at Ivan and watched as he slowly took off his jeans.Leaving his briefs on, she watched as the dark head of his cock peeked above them.She wanted to taste him in the worst sort of way and licked her suddenly dry lips.Watching him pull his pants off with his socks, it was all she could do to not toss him back on the bed and have his cock in her mouth.Then she thought, why not?
“I want you.”Sen pushed him back against the bed and watched as he laid there with his arms above his head.He made no effort to stop her when she crawled to his legs and spread them wide.Getting in the perfect position to have his cock in her mouth, she ran her hands up and down his thighs until she was ready.“I’ve never done this before.So you’ll have to be patient with me.”
“You touch me with your mouth, and I’m going to about come all over you.The very thought of you sucking on my cock has my balls up close to my body and aching to empty all over you.”She shivered at his words and promises, and she moved closer to where she wanted to be.Pulling his briefs over his erection, she watched as it bobbed slightly and more of his cream leaked from the top.Wanting to taste him, she licked him from root to tip and then took him in her mouth.“Christ, yes, baby.That’s it.”
