Chapter Nine

Blair Riggens went all out for the spectacular party. A three-course meal had been planned, and guests had been invited, mostly lawyer friends of theirs and people from the country club Blair belonged to. Nevertheless, over two hundred guests were coming to their house to ring in the new year.

Brianna made sure her mother had everything Shiloh would need since she’d be spending the night with Regina and then drove like a bat out of hell to get home and get ready before Kaden got there. He too had been recruited by his mother to pick up last-minute items and to arrange last-minute things.

She pulled in the drive, forgetting about the mail and parked her car in the garage. If she didn’t get dressed before Kaden did, then they’d be lucky to walk out the door and make it to the party on time.

She grinned, stripping as she ran to their bedroom. Her mother and his agreed along with Kristy that her dress would definitely surprise him. She just hoped he liked it.

Leaving a mess of clothes on the floor, she jumped in the shower She’d pick them up later. After washing her hair and body, removing the remnants of the restaurant from her, she grabbed a hot pink towel and screamed when Kaden walked in the bathroom.

His eyes widened, though he didn’t take them off her naked body. “Scare you?”

“Stop doing that!”

He chuckled, leaning against the vanity. She wrapped the towel around her and tried to calm her racing heart. He was a large man who took up a lot of space, and with him being so close, she had to remind herself to breathe again.

“I’m not going to bite you.” The grin turned sly. “Unless you want me to.”

“Stop. Go out there,” she said, pointing to their bedroom. “And get dressed.”

“What? No ‘hi honey’ today?”

“Fine. Hi, honey. Go get dressed.” She grinned, knowing he wasn’t going anywhere but closer to her. “Kaden, I’m serious.”

He crossed his arms over his black and silver T-shirt with the Chinese symbol for “fuck you” on the front. It was a very rare occasion that she seen him out of his suits, but she liked him in denim just as well.

“Come here.” He held his hands out, and she shrank against the wall.

“No way. I just took a shower. You’re not touching me.” She grinned holding the towel closer to her body.

“I just want to kiss you.” He motioned with his hand for her to come closer.

“Yeah. Right. You don’t mean on the mouth.”

He grinned. “What a dirty mind my wife has.”

He pushed off the vanity and trapped her against the wall next to the toilet. She had no options of escape. His body heat surrounded her, the feel of him seducing her, and he hadn’t done one damn thing yet. She was the weak one. She wanted him now possibly more than he wanted her.

“You’re getting wet, sweetheart. I can smell it.” He leaned down, brushing a kiss against her shoulder.

“Kaden.” His name was a plea when she reached up for him and wrapped her arms around his neck. The towel was history, falling to the floor with one simple tug.

He kissed his way to her mouth, keeping his hands firmly against the wall. She held on to him, fisting his shirt with both hands. They hadn’t had much time together during the last week, at least not alone. When he came in from work, he was worn out, and when she came home, she dealt with the baby. But now . . . now they could make up for time lost.

“Kaden, please.” She slid her hands down to his jeans, sliding beneath the waistband and past his boxers.

“I can never take my time with you, can I?” He kissed her lips and slid his hands to his zipper. Once he shoved his jeans and boxers to his ankles, he grabbed a condom from the potpourri dish and handed it to her.

She rolled it on quickly, gaining a moan or two from Kaden as he kept his hands inactive against the wall, watching her. As soon as she pulled back satisfied, she met his eyes.

“You’re getting pretty good at that.”

“Shut up and fuck me.”

He closed his mouth over hers, slid his hands to her backside, and lifted her. She wrapped her legs around his waist, and with one smooth thrust, he was sheathed within her body.

His passive motions soon became active as their bodies slammed against the bathroom wall, sweat breaking out across their skin. Brianna didn’t know how this man had such an affect on her, but she loved that he did. She loved everything about him.
