“Yeah. His name was Melvin Anderson.”

Dillyn raised up on her elbow and looked Ben in the eyes. “I amnotmy parents.”

“No, you’re not.”

“Now I know it too.” Her head tilted slightly, “You want to know what I was thinking when everything went crazy?”

“What? That you will never ever sneak out and put your life in danger again?” Ben was only half-joking.

“Thatdidcross my mind, but it wasn’t the first thing.”

Ben sighed. “Then what?”

“I saw our child. It hit me so hard.” Dillyn stood up on her knees. “Ben, I want a life with you, and I want ourbaby.”

His throat was thick. He wasn’t sure he could speak. Being choked up was an understatement. However, he forced out a few words, “Are you sure?”

Dillyn nodded, “I don’t think I’ve ever been surer of anything. Well, maybe one other thing.”

Ben held her eyes captive, “What’s that?”

Dillyn had never looked more vulnerable, “You. I love you, Benjamin Cash.”

Ben reached up and pulled Dillyn to him, crushing his lips against hers and pouring his entire soul into the one kiss.

He pulled back slightly from fear he might hurt her, “I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of kissing you.”

Dillyn’s eyes were glassy, “I hope you never do.”

Caressing his face with her hand, Dillyn whispered, “Me and you, we’re not just a team, we’re family.”

Ben felt he could take on the world and win. He pulled her close and kissed her again, this time with a need that was both powerful and hungry. It almost felt desperate. Maybe it was given Ben could have lost Dillyn tonight.

He feasted on the sweetness that was unique to her and her alone before kissing a scorching hot trail down the side of her neck. He attempted to exercise some measure of control and stopped himself. Before Ben went any further, he needed to know Dillyn was okay.

“Are you too tired or hurt?”

Dillyn was breathless, “No. Please don’t stop. I need you. I need to feelconnectedin all the ways that matter.”

Ben felt the same and was determined to grant her wish. The heat in her eyes matched his. Once Ben knew that Dillyn needed him as much as he needed her, he wasted no time recapturing her lips in another scorching hot kiss.

He took his time before moving lower and planting feathery light kisses down the length of her body. Giving special care to her stomach. He brushed his lips tenderly against the life they created together before continuing his descent.

Dillyn’s arousal was so sexy. It was driving Ben crazy. He lingered at her pussy for just a moment before cradling her ass with his hands, squeezing it, and pulling her body closer to his lips.

Ben moaned, “I can’t wait to taste you.”

The moment the heat from his mouth touched her, Dillyn arched into him, and her eyes fluttered closed.

She gripped handfuls of his hair as the heels of her feet dug into the mattress. “Pleasssssse.”

Her eyes were shut tight, but Ben could see the need all over her face. He took pride in knowing that he put that passionate look there. It was impossible to describe this level of possessiveness. Dillyn was his. Forever and always.

She had been anxious for his touch, and Ben didn’t disappoint. He buried his mouth against her sex, taking a good long lick and parting her folds before completely devouring her.

Dillyn squealed and opened her legs wider, “Oh, God!”

“Mmm. Delicious.” He stroked her with good long licks going back and forth and up and down until Dillyn couldn’t stand it. Just when she was at the edge of sanity, Ben quickened the pace and then sucked her clit, twirling his tongue around it.
