Page 30 of Dirty Little Secret
With a chuckle, I pulled her up. Having her standing in front of me, facing me, our bodies only inches apart, had my dick getting hard.
“I’m a doctor. I fix damaged people for a living. If you’ve got problems, I’m the perfect guy to help you get rid of them.” Pulling her right hand to my mouth, I watched her lips quiver as I kissed her palm. “Give me a chance, Zandra.”
There had always been a part of me that was mad at her for running away, for never telling me she was pregnant with my baby, and for giving him away. But the biggest part of me simply wanted her. I would get to the whys of that later on.
For now, I only wanted her again. In my arms, in my bed, in my life. And that meant in Fox’s life too.
I would have to say her name some time, after all. She didn’t know who he was, but he would know who she was right away, and he would definitely say something.
For now, I wanted to keep the cat in the bag. I knew next to nothing about Zandra’s life, or her state of mind. I had no idea how she would take the news that I had our son and had had him since he was born.
How will she take that?
As I looked into her eyes, I saw a lot more strength there than I had seen eleven years earlier. She wasn’t a girl anymore; she was a woman. A mature woman who’d been through a lot and had come out the other side of it a stronger person.
“I do not want to be fixed, Kane. I’m not willing to become your patient.”
The idea of playing doctor with her began to fill my head, and it made my dick grow harder. “Oh, but I could make that a lot of fun, Zandra.” I pulled her into my arms, brushing the hair off her face as I stared deeply into her eyes. “Come on, give me what I want. Say yes. You know I can talk you into it. Don’t make me beg, baby.”
Her body shook as I held her. My cock pulsed against her cunt, making her cheeks flush. “Kane, please,” she moaned.
Moving my mouth closer to hers, I gave her my demand. “Give me what I want, and I’ll let you go.”
“I can’t,” she muttered. “Please.”
“No.” My lips grazed hers, teasing. “I still want you.”
“Oh, God,” she whispered, and then leaned in to meet me halfway.
The kiss sent me back in time to that one magical night when I’d had her underneath me. To when I’d been panting with such intense passion that I thought I might pass out. The sex had been off the charts that night. We’d fucked like wild animals after our first soft session when I’d introduced her to making love for the first time.
If I hadn’t been expecting Fox to come back to the office at any moment, I would’ve put her ass on that desk and taken her nine ways to Sunday. But he was going to be back, and most likely soon.
He couldn’t catch us like that. Pulling my mouth away from hers, I had to smile when I saw the raw desire on her beautiful face. “So, that date I want. Can I get it now?”
Her chest rose and fell against mine. “I really can’t.”
“Wrong answer, Zandra.” Grabbing the back of her head, I grabbed a fistful of her silky hair, pulling it back, then kissing her again. Harder, more demanding this time. I wanted her to give into me the way she had when we were young.
I could feel her heart pounding in her chest. Her tongue danced with mine. Her hands gripped my arms. When I took my mouth off hers, I was panting too. “Tell me what I want to hear.”
“He’ll be coming back soon, Kane. You don’t want your little boy to see us like this.” She searched my eyes as she went on. “I can’t go out with you. I’m sorry.”
“I’m not the kind of man who takes no for an answer when I know damn good and well that you want exactly what I want too.” My blood boiled as it raced through my veins. “Tell me that you don’t want me, and I’ll leave you alone.”
Staring into her eyes, I defied her to lie to me. “You know I do. But I just can’t get involved with you.”
Letting her go, I walked away from her in frustration. I could’ve just spit it all out—let her know that I knew her secret. Let her in on the secret I was keeping from her, too.
You’re the mother of my son!
It would be out in the open, and we could see where things would take us. I could tell her that I forgave her for never telling me the truth. And she could tell me what the hell had happened back then.
Why had she let her parents force her to put our son up for adoption? Had she wanted that too? And why in the hell had none of them seen fit to let my family know a thing about the baby she carried?
Instead, I took a deep breath to control myself as Fox came back into the office, holding up a brownie. “See, they did have something!”
Zandra ran her hands over her shirt to make sure it was straight, looking down as she did so. “Well, I guess I should be going. You’ve got work to do, Kane. It was nice to see you again after all these years. Being that we’re both living in Charleston, I’m sure we’ll run into each other now and then. It was a pleasure to meet you, Fox.” She rattled on as she made her way to the door.
