thigh, he closed it over her breast, big and bold and unapologetic.

Sarah shuddered, deeply conscious that she’d set herself up for a night of heaven and hell. Because this man, he knew her body in a way no one else ever had. As he tore down the strap of her dress and bra to expose the breast he’d so bluntly fondled, she tightened her abdomen, but nothing could prepare her for the feel of his thumb and forefinger capturing her nipple, rolling it.

She cried out.

Abe kissed her cry into his mouth, all the while continuing to torment her sensitive flesh with a touch just this side of painful. When he closed his entire hand over her bare breast even as he licked his tongue against her own, she shuddered and wrapped her legs around his hips in an effort to tug him impossibly closer.

She wanted his body crushing hers, wanted to feel him thrusting hard and demanding into the molten heat between her thighs, his breath harsh in her ear and his rhythm a thudding drumbeat that slammed through her.

Shoving up her dress even farther, Abe pushed his thumb under the side of her panties and ran it along the seam of her thigh. Her legs quivered, her panties so damp that she wanted them off, wanted his hands on her. She pushed at his shoulders.

Breaking the kiss, Abe shook his head as if to clear the fog of lust, stepped back. “No?” he asked, his pupils dilated and his dark skin flushed with heat.

“Yes.” Hooking her hands into the sides of her panties, she tugged them down her thighs, and then Abe was there, pulling them all the way off and throwing them on the kitchen floor. He pushed apart her thighs once more, but instead of coming between, he bent and took one long, luscious lick that had her screaming as her back arched.

“Now!” Almost sobbing with need, she grabbed at his shoulders.

He came up in a powerful rush, slamming his mouth against hers. He tasted of her and oh God, why was that so erotic? She could feel his hand moving between them, feel him undoing his jeans, freeing his cock. And then he was slotting the thick, rigid length of it against her and she was so frantic with want that she pushed forward as he thrust in and oh, he was big. Her body ached, adapted, their mouths colliding again as they became locked together in a hot, sweaty, primal dance that tore her apart in a matter of seconds.

She felt his cock pulse as he came inside her, the wetness an intimate heat.

CHAPTER 7

“I’M ON THE PILL,” she said ten minutes later while she lay curled up in Abe’s lap in the armchair in her solarium. He’d carried her there, her legs too weak to support her body in the aftermath of the earthquake of that orgasm. Her panties were still on the kitchen floor, but she’d righted her bra and dress while he’d fixed his jeans but removed his sweaty T-shirt.

“You’re safe from a paternity suit.” It was a lame attempt at a joke, the idea of having another child in her womb an agonizing one. Sarah didn’t know if she could ever again take that risk. What if her baby died again?

“You wouldn’t have to sue me, Sarah,” Abe said, one big hand still on her back, the other warm and almost proprietary on her thigh. “If I made a kid with you, I’d step up.”

He took a deep breath, released it. “I don’t remember all of what I said that night, but I remember accusing you of pretending to be pregnant to trap me—I’m more ashamed of that than anything else I’ve ever done. I saw your pain after the miscarriage. I know damn well it was real. I know sorry isn’t ever going to be enough, but I’m so sorry, sweetheart.”

Sarah’s eyes burned, because this Abe? He was the one she’d fallen for until she had not a hope in hell of protecting her heart against any blows he chose to deliver. The good, strong man who believed in family and loyalty and taking care of those who were his.

“And you don’t have to worry about anything else either,” Abe added, running his hand up and down her back. “I’m clean.”

She felt the sharp bite of jealous teeth inside her, aware the reason he knew that was because he’d no doubt been for a checkup after his alcohol- and drug-fueled
