He stopped sucking her nipples and took possession of her lips, and she wrapped her arms around him as he began to rock inside her, going harder and deeper within her.They were not using protection and she was not on the pill.Katie knew the risks they were taking, but she wanted him to keep going.
He pushed inside her, and she moaned his name in between kisses.He rocked her world, and took her right to the stars.
Suddenly, he stopped, broke the kiss, and pulled back just enough so he could tease her clit.Katie felt that drive as it sent her higher and higher toward her peak, only this time he didn’t stop, and instead sent her over the edge, hurtling toward the abyss.
He waited, allowing her to fly high and then slowly come down, before he wrapped his arms around her and began to make love to her, taking her higher than ever.
She felt the moment he reached his own climax, and she didn’t let him go, but held him as he spilled his seed into her body.
Chapter Seven
Hawk loved workingat Palmer’s Gifts.He loved interacting with customers.Working with the mayor on the finishing touches to the summer fair, he felt at home.Not only was he working on the summer fair, he was also contributing to Halloween.The work was not stressful but fun, and it kept him busy.
At first, all he wanted to do after his heart attack was go back to work, back to the way things were.However, nothing was going to change the fact he was different.He hadn’t told anyone that as he woke up, knowing what he’d experienced, reliving that pain over and over, he couldn’t stop thinking about what his life had become.All work.Nothing else.And he wasn’t proud of it.In fact, he had hated that his life had come down to work, to a bunch of numbers and nothing else.He didn’t have what his parents had, or what his sister had.
Sitting in the hospital, looking at his cell phone, he went back over the pictures of the weddings and family get-togethers he had gone to.There were even some pictures his family had sent to him.In those pictures, he was in the background, on his cell phone, working.Always working.
He didn’t have a family.No kids.And as he sat at the graveyard where Adam was laid to rest, he couldn’t help but wonder what he could have done differently.
This was where Katie found him, carrying a small bouquet of flowers.
“Hawk?”
He looked up and ran his hands down his legs.“Hey,” he said.“I was about to come to the shop.”
“That’s okay.You’re not an employee,” she said with a giggle.“You came to visit Adam?”
“Yeah, I, uh, he and I lost touch, as you know.I just came to clear my head.”
“I thought you were talking with the mayor.”
“I was.”
“Did you hate it?”she asked, moving toward Adam’s grave.He watched as she cleared away some of the fallen leaves and took out the dead flowers, to replace them with new ones.
“No, I didn’t.”
