my cum spreading inside of her and between us as she clenches and milks me.

Her body tenses and she cries out as I rub her pussy and send her over the edge with me.

“Perfect,” I say as I kiss her neck and hold her close until she comes down. “Now you’re mine.”

And she truly is. This might be our first time, but it’s the first of many times I’m going to have her. I’ll keep pumping her full all night because I want her bound to me in every way. I want her on my cock every moment of the day until she’s waddling around full of my babies.

“I love you,” I whisper across her skin, but I say it so low she can’t hear me. Soon enough she’ll get to hear those words, but for now, I’ll take this.

Chapter Eleven

Barbie

I turn the sign on the front door to “closed” but a few people still linger in the store. I’m lucky the day flew by and business has been steady lately. I did not want to get out of bed this morning when I woke up with Shaw holding me close. For the first time ever I wasn't in a hurry to get down to the store.

The rain isn’t helping because it only makes me want to stay in bed forever. Shaw pulled me out of bed and then made us breakfast. He gave me a kiss goodbye when his mom called about something. He told me he’d be back when I closed up, so I was extra eager to turn the sign five minutes early. I’m not going to rush anyone out, but I’m not trying to get more people in here tonight.

Kayla comes breezing in the front door wet with rain. She makes a dash for my desk and hides behind it. She’s been MIA all day. From the way she’s acting, I think she’s still on her secret mission.

“You’ve got to give me a key to the back. I could have been caught coming in the front door!” she hisses at me as she peeks her head up.

“Do you need a towel?” I ask as water drips off her hair.

“I need more than a towel.” She grabs the half-eaten candy on my desk and crouches back down. I lean over the desk to watch her shove the candy bar into her mouth quickly.

“Can you watch the place while I get you a towel?” She licks her fingers clean before grabbing her hair and wringing it out on the floor. She’s a hot mess but I can’t help but laugh.

“I got it,” she agrees, but then I turn around to see the last two people exiting out of the store. Thankfully the rain looks like it’s finally stopping.

“Never mind.” I head over to lock the door so no one else can come in, but I stop when a man as big as Shaw starts to open my door.

“Sorry, we’re closed.” I look up at him but he’s not looking at me. He looks past me into the store, his eyes searching the place. Oh my goodness, could this be who Kayla is hiding from?

“Curvy brunette in here?” his deep voice rumbles, and I’m not sure he’s asking a question.

“Just me.” I step into the space of the open door so that he can’t try to get in. His hair is buzzed short, and his jaw is hard and square. A wicked scar cuts across his eyebrow and forehead and although it doesn't look brand new, it also doesn't exactly look old either. If I had to guess he’s in his early thirties, making him hell of a lot older than Kayla, which only spikes my curiosity.

“You lie like shit.” He drops his gaze to look down at me and his cool blue eyes are so unlike the rest of him.

“This is a dirty book store,” I say tartly, thinking maybe that will scare him away, but he only lets out a chuckle.

“Seems fitting for where she’d hide out.”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” I try to play dumb.

“You scrunch your nose when you lie.” I reach up, covering it like a dork before I drop my hand away. “You’re Barbie. She told me about you.”

“She did?” What the hell? She talks to this guy but hides from him too? This shouldn't be shocking to me. Kayla can be confusing at times and she runs hot and cold on almost everything.

“Give my girl a message.”

“Your girl?” I
