Page 37 of Reconciling the Consequences

His eyes widened almost comically, his mouth dropping open in shock.

She smirked slightly as she saw a blush come over his cheeks.

“I don’t—” He started to speak, then thought better of it. He crashed his lips down on hers a moment later. His hand curled into the hair at the back of her neck as he kissed her with everything he had.

She didn’t even realize he had moved until her back hit the wall in the living room. His hands were rough as they roamed and groped her body. She moaned into his kiss as he twisted her nipple between his fingers. She broke the kiss, panting.

He kissed down her jaw as he lowered her feet to the ground and yanked her yoga pants off her. She quickly stepped out of them and her underwear before he picked her back up and slammed her back against the wall again.

His mouth worked her neck, sucking yet another hickey into her skin. She had stopped trying to hide them when out in public, and her physical therapist hadn’t commented, though the woman often stared at them.

Kara groaned when his teeth sank into her flesh as he worked at the fly of his own jeans. She helped him get his pants down, and he slid the head of his cock up and down her slit, soaking up her juices before he lined himself up and rocked in hard.

She let out a loud keening wail as he slid in to the hilt. He did not slow down or stop or give her time to adjust; he started a punishing rhythm that drove her back into the wall. All she could do was hold on and enjoy the pounding. It wasn’t long before she was panting and arching against him. “Fuck, fuck,” she cried out before she screamed his name.

He groaned and latched onto her neck yet again before his pace picked up and he shuddered and cursed. “Fuck, Princess.” He groaned and trembled against her as he spilled his load deep inside her and dropped his head to her shoulder.

They stayed still for a while, basking in the feelings of each other’s arms. When he finally lifted his head and met her gaze, she could see the love pouring from his eyes before he even said anything. His fingers slid against her cheek, and she nuzzled into his hand. “I told you before, I’ve never felt this way about anyone ever before.” He spoke softly as his fingers continued to graze her cheek. “I love you more than anything in this world, Princess.”

Kara’s heart soared and a wide grin spread across her cheeks. “I love you too,” she replied instantly.

He grinned and kissed her deeply.

She could definitely get used to this.

Thenumberofboxesthat had been delivered to the Eastlake facility was unbelievable. There had to easily be a thousand boxes stacked in the large warehouse. Kenny had managed to get them all in numerical order as far as she could see. There was row after row of stacked cardboard boxes in the otherwise empty warehouse.

Eastlake was something Kara had purchased without her father’s knowledge some years ago. She bought the property from a friend who needed bailing out on the loan and had vague plans of turning the space into high-end lofts, due to its location on the water, but she had never done anything with it.

Kara hired a security firm to post a couple security guards to watch the building twenty-four seven and left it unused. Until now.

After her four-week follow-up appointment, Johnny called Kevin and Derrick, and the four of them headed over to the warehouse. “Holy fuck,” the guys had muttered as they walked into the large space and realized the sheer size of the task at hand.

It could take Karayearsto find what she was looking for.

“This is insane,” Kevin muttered, looking around.

Kara couldn’t help but nod in agreement. There was no way she could do this alone. She immediately thought of Marlie, but she was already working full time and pregnant. She wouldn’t have much time to lend, but Kara knew she would help out. She felt guilty asking, but she had no other choice. She would have to recruit help from elsewhere too and definitely call her assistant. If only she knew whom she could trust in the office. Maybe Danvers had people he could assign as well.

“What’s the plan, boss lady?” Kevin asked.

She smiled and turned to him. She missed him. She missed walking through Carmichael and Associates, hoping for a glimpse of him in the hallways.

He grinned and seemed to know where her mind was. He pulled her into his arms and pressed a kiss to her lips. “The building isn’t the same without your beautiful smile shining through the halls,” he told her.

She kissed him deeply and wrapped her arms around his neck. She felt like she and Johnny were spending so much time together now that she barely saw Kevin and Derrick. Now that she had spilled her feelings to Johnny, she wanted to do the same with the other two, because she loved them as well.

“I think we need to do a date night. Just me and you.” She purred against his lips.

“Oh yeah, babe? And what do you have planned?” Kevin hummed, his voice husky.

She chuckled softly. “I hadn’t gotten that far.”

“What about me, baby girl?” Derrick pressed into her back, and she sighed, leaning against him as his arms wrapped around her waist. “Do I get a date night? Johnny has been hogging you lately.” He huffed.

She smirked and tilted her head toward him. Derrick took her invite to cup her jaw and kiss her deeply. “Have we fucked you yet today?” He purred against her lips.

She giggled. “It was one a.m. before we to bed last night.”
