“Apparently, Paul and Jack had noticed some other shit going on and set up cameras around the house. They hadn’t just been messing with my tools. They were going in and messing with my work,” I explained.

“Are you fucking kidding me?!” He growled, gripping my muscles tighter than he intended.

“OUCH!” I yelped.

He let go immediately. “Shit, sorry. I’m so fucking pissed-” he started.

“Let me finish…” I whined.

“You’re right. Sorry, keep going. But, I’m not going to lie, I want to punch those assholes right now,” he grumbled.

“Anyway, they had recordings of some inappropriate conversations. One of the assholes had tried telling the homeowners that I was fleecing them, because he couldn’t see where I had done any work,” I laughed at the end. “I never saw someone piss their pants in fear outside of a combat zone, but the one dude, Randall… They said they were contacting lawyers because I had a solid lawsuit against the fucking lot.”

“So? What happened?” Kai asked, now sliding onto the floor to sit behind me.

I leaned back against his chest and sighed. “They left with their tails between their legs. Turns out everyone was thrilled with my work ethic and the quality of my work. The historical society nutters couldn’t stop raving about the turned spindles I made for the master staircase. Anyway, I was offered a full contract with the head company. I am their new go-to gal for woodwork, apparently,” I finished, leaning back against his chest.

Kai pulled me back against him and kissed my neck. “That’s so awesome! Congrats, Kitkat,” he whispered against my skin.

“It gets better,” I giggled.

“There’s more?” he asked, chuckling.

“They’re paying for my workshop here at the house.”

Again Kai tried to pull me around to face him. “Seriously??” He asked.

“Well, I told them it’s too much traveling with everything I needed from site to site, and they would rather pay for a workshop than me sue them. I’m fine with a workshop we don’t have to pay for. We’ll need to prep the backyard this weekend,” I finished cheekily.

Kai stared at me for a solid second before pushing me on the floor and kissing me senseless. “You are amazing. I wanted to kick their asses every fucking day. Now tell me….” he whispered. “How much of that take down was plotted with the old timers?”

I bit my lips and stared up at Kai. He knew.

“Fuck! That is so damn hot,” he said huskily, grinding himself against me so that I would know how turned he was.

“Shut up!” I chuckled, swatting at his chest.

“You think I’m joking?” He asked, nipping at my jaw. He took my hand and guided it down to his growing erection. I grabbed onto it through his pants and stroked him. “Don’t tease me, Kat,” he pleaded, inching my shirt up so that it bunched at my waist.

“Who’s teasing who?” I asked, unbuttoning his pants and lowering the zipper.

I lifted my head up to kiss him. He responded with a ferocity I hadn’t felt in a while. My mouth felt like it was being devoured. I whimpered when he pulled my hands away from his body and pinned them over my head. I wanted to touch him too, but was denied.

“Shhhh,” he tutted against my lips as his free hand gently stroked my cheek before wandering down my body. He massaged my breast, squeezing it before pinching one of my nipples. The latter caused me to arch my back into him as a moan escaped my lips. His hand continued its path down to my center, where his nimble fingers found my now soaking panties. His thumb found my button, and god, did he press it.

“Please,” I started, but was silenced with another devouring kiss.

Between the day I had, the physical labor, the anxiety drop, the massage, and now his ministrations of every fuck me hot spot on my body, I felt like I was drugged. I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I felt him slide my underwear to the side and then the head of his cock rubbing up against my folds.

“Please,” I begged again, a writhing mess beneath him.

“As you wish,” he whispered, pushing into me so slowly I thought I would die. I tried to dip my feet into his ass to pull him in deeper. Faster. He stopped me, his free hand hooking under my left knee and pushing that leg up and out to the side. The leg positioning left me wide open so I had the stimulation of him thrusting inside me as well as his pelvis grinding against my clitoris when he bottomed out.

“Yes, like that,” I moaned again. My mind traveled back to the first time Kai had me in this position. And the words I had uttered to him. We had had unprotected sex since we got together again. I couldn’t imagine not feeling his skin against mine, even deep inside. However, we had been careful since the miscarriage to not have sex when I was ovulating. Until now.

The thought hit me like a lightning bolt. I opened my eyes, and looked at the man looking down at me. There was only love and adoration in Kai’s eyes. I wanted everything with him. Everything and then some, but I knew he would never marry me. He had said as much. “I want a baby,” I whispered as tears trickled from my eyes.
