Before Sunrise (50 page)

“
Let me have you, and then
you can have me,” she moaned, knocking his hands away. Liam obeyed.
He placed both hands behind his head and sucked in a deep breath
for restraint.

Her dark lashes fluttered shut and she rode
his cock steadily, fondling one nipple and using the other hand to
pluck and fondle her clit. It was making him crazy so he closed his
eyes and stopped watching her. It was his only defense. But in
darkness it wasn’t much better. Her cunt grew tighter and tighter
with each rise and fall. His cock was tugged and stroked in ways no
man could withstand. How long was he supposed to last this way and
not come?

Kennedy fell forward. Her nipples brushed
his chest and he stiffened. She ran her tongue up over the lines of
his scars with her back dipped and her pussy dropping and lifting
off his cock.

“
Fuck this!” he groaned,
grabbing her and flipping her to her back. She gasped, shocked. She
giggled as he grabbed her hands and pinned them above her head. “I
can’t take it, babe.”

“
I’m yours, Liam,” she
flicked her tongue at his lip. “Fuck me. Please, fuck me,” she said
and he was undone.

He slammed into her and an awesome wave of
lust washed over them. He was all male. Nothing had changed on that
front. His cock was meaty and mean, wielded with a forceful intent
for domination. It was as she remembered, as she loved. Kennedy
shuddered once he began to move in and out of her, pressing her
arms down and biting and sucking at her nipples.

“
Yes, Liam! Do me harder!”
she shouted.

Oh how lovely the pain was. She writhed
beneath him, her arms burning all the way to the tips of her
fingers from being pinned down. She called out his name at the feel
of his organ slamming into her over and over again. She cried out
her love for him once he began to rock his hips to hit the most
sensitive spots. Over and over and over he thrust his dick in, and
out even slower. She wept when he hit so deep she creamed and shook
through the second or third climax. But he had been far from
done.

When he released her wrists, she raked her
nails down his back to unleash some of her pent-up frustration. She
needed more, but feared her body would implode if he didn’t unleash
the full force of his passion soon. The buildup of pleasure spread
from her head to the tops of her toes.

Then he stopped.
Why?
He slid down her
body and his face dove into her wet pussy. Kennedy eyes popped so
wide, they nearly snapped from their sockets. Her body convulsed
uncontrollably as he feasted on her. He sucked her clit until she
bucked on the sheets. “Liam! Stop, wait!”

He fucked her with his tongue, and then
licked her pussy from top to bottom. She slammed her thighs shut as
she came again. Liam rolled her to her belly. He was behind her,
his hand in her hair pulling so tight her scalp burned. He thrust
into her pussy repeatedly until she flattened to the bed with his
hard thighs forcing hers apart. Using his other hand, he squirmed
it underneath to lift her. He tugged her hair again and she winced,
rolling her ass how he liked. “I am going to fuck and love you all
night,” he sighed, licking the beads of sweat from her spine while
rocking in and out of her quaking channel.

“
Yessss…” was all she could
stammer.

Liam let go of her hair. Both hands went to
her hips and held her in the right angle so he could fuck her pussy
long and strong. One hard thrust forward and it felt as if a bolt
of lightning filled her body. “Yes!” she cried out.

Liam fell on her and his entire body went
rigid. He loved her. She knew it. He went on and on until every
inch of him went rigid and stiff and quick jerky thrusts of his
cock broke his control. She couldn’t touch him to ease him through
it. He had her pinned face-down to the mattress. He groaned deep
and she felt his hot seed jet out of him as his cock pulsed and
spasmed through the best orgasm she’d had in five years.

Liam moaned, withdrawing out of her with a
wet slick suctioning sound. Kennedy was too weak to move at first,
but he pulled on her. She managed the strength to crawl over and
drop on his chest. His heart beat so fast she thought it would
burst out of his chest when she pressed her ear there. She couldn’t
speak. Her lower half was on fire with a riot of sensations.

He rubbed her sweaty back, then her ass. “I
want more,” he said in a deep voice.

“
Okay,” she panted,
smiling.

“
I love you so much,
Kay.”

“
I know, baby. I
know.”

When the strength returned to her limbs she
found he’d fallen asleep. He had exhausted himself. That was fine.
Their reunion was a long time coming. She left the room and found a
rag to soak with sudsy water. She cleansed the tender folds of her
sex and wiped away all excess. She came back to the bed and began
to clean him. His cock grew hard in her hand while he slept. She
smiled and kissed the tip, promising to pleasure it when she
returned.

She decided to let him rest. When she drew
back she could look at his body. His story was all over him. She
hadn’t noticed the burn marks to his side and his left arm. Kennedy
covered her mouth as fresh tears began to pool. She told herself
that it was over. His suffering was over. But she knew better. The
road to full recovery would be a long, hard one.

Kennedy dug out her robe and covered
herself, then crept from the room. She returned the washcloth to
the towel rack. She went downstairs and got her phone, dialing the
number to a Thai restaurant she knew was close. She ordered a good
meal of his favorites to be delivered. Once done, she called
home.

“
Kennedy, where are you?”
her mother asked as soon she answered.

“
Hi mom, how is
Mac?”‘

“
Where are you?”

“
You know where,” Kennedy
sighed.

“
We’re decorating the tree.
Phil’s here. We’re all here. You should be here.”

“
Let me speak to Mac.”
Kennedy paced. “Please mama, not now, we’ll talk later. Just let me
talk to my baby.”

“
Hi, mommy.”‘

Kennedy smiled. “What you doing,
monkey?”

“
My birthday tree with
daddy. The other daddy, not my heaven daddy…”

“
I get it, Mac.” Kennedy
chuckled.

“
He’s so funny. He don’t
know nothing, mommy. I have to remind him of
everything.”

Kennedy smiled. “Sounds like you’re having
fun.”

“
Yes. You coming home
soon?”

“
No baby. But daddy is there
and so is grandma and granddaddy. So you will have so much
fun.”

“
Okay, bye.”

Mackenzie hung up on her. Kennedy shook her
head. She set her phone down and took a long look around her at her
empty house. Soon she’d fill it with love and their new life. She
realized she liked new beginnings. Especially ones with him. Slowly
she climbed the stairs to return to her man. To love him once
more.

Chapter Twenty

“
Mmmm, it’s good babe. So
good.”

Kennedy twisted a bit more of chicken pad
thai around her chopsticks and eased another tasty bite into Liam’s
gaping mouth. Liam lay on his side, facing her, propped up by his
elbow. He licked lips and chewed slowly.

“
It is good, isn’t it?” She
wiped a drop of sauce from his chin with a napkin. He looked so
cute with his disheveled hair and flushed skin. Kennedy enjoyed
feeding him. She’d had to fight him off of her to get to the door
when the food was delivered. Kennedy leaned in and kissed his brow.
She knew it had been a very long time since someone just cared for
him. Not that he would stomach much of it. But she had softened him
up enough. He tolerated her smothering. “You need your strength, so
eat hearty.”

Liam smiled. “I’ve got my second wind, babe,
don’t you worry.”

Kennedy shrugged. “Oh, trust, me I’m not. I
know my soldier boy’s appetite. I’m ready for it.” She stabbed a
cube of chicken out of the carton. When she slipped him a look, she
noticed how intense his focus was to her uncovered breasts. She
giggled and shook them at him.

“
What’s funny?” he
asked.

“
The way you keep staring at
my tits. I see you.” She set the half-eaten carton of noodles in
her lap and repositioned to give him a better view. “Especially
when I do this.” She worked her shoulders and made them
bounce.

“
I love your tits.” Liam
groaned. He moved quick. He grabbed her arm and pulled her down so
he could nip at her breast.

Kennedy crossed her arms to escape another
attack. “I told you to stop biting them. No more for you.” Kennedy
pushed him off. She stirred what was left of dinner, deciding to
finish it off herself as his punishment.

Liam fell back on his pillow. “Sorry. Those
sexy beauties of yours make me do it.”

“
Yeah right,” she mumbled,
her mouth full. “They could be flat as a pancake but you’d still
suck them raw.”

“
True.”

Liam’s hand crept over. It felt hard and
strong like the rest of him. Kennedy had to admit he gave her fever
the way he caressed up and down her thigh. They were on the
bedcovers. A sheet was thrown over his lap and hers. Problem was it
didn’t conceal the imprint of his erection, so she knew dinner
would have to be finished soon. Kennedy felt herself tingling
between her thighs from the mere thought.

“
I got a question for you,
babe.”

“
Okay.” She tried to feed
him. He shook his head
no
. She slurped three strands of
noodles dangling from her chopsticks. His gaze grew a bit more
intense. She frowned, unable to read the look in his eyes. “What?
What’s the question?”

“
You and Phil. You two
ever…um, did you do…you know, um…” he pointed at his dick, “with
him?”

“
Are you serious?” Kennedy
flinched.

“
Nah, never mind it. Forget
I asked.” He gave a nervous laugh.

“
Why would you ask me that?
Do you know how, how that makes me feel? Were you thinking about
that while we were….”

“
No. Kay. Fuck no, I just.
Damn, I’m an idiot. I’m sorry, okay?”

“
No, it’s not okay.” Kennedy
swallowed back her hurt. She wanted to take the chopstick and stab
him in the chest with it. He could be such an ass at times. She
just wanted them to start again. Why must every road lead them
here? She closed the carton and sighed.

“
Kay, wait. I’m
sorry.”

Kennedy snatched her arm from his pleading
hand and escaped the bed. He sat up to reach for her but she shot
him a withering glare that made him withdraw. “Liam, this will be
the one and only time I discuss this with you. After this, don’t
you dare ask me about Phil and our sex life again, because it will
definitely put a damper on yours. Do you understand me?”

Liam slowly reclined back on the pillow. His
jaw twitched, as it did every time he was angry. But he kept his
mouth shut. He had better. She was growing really tired of the Phil
comparisons. If she could suck his dick enough to get him past it,
she’d do that. So fine, he wanted the truth. Here it was. “Phil
performed oral sex on me. Often. And I liked it. But, I didn’t do
him, and he didn’t mind.”

“
I don’t want to talk about
this.”

“
Oh, no. You bought it up,
so here’s the truth.” She moved around the bed naked, her hair in
tangles, but she didn’t care. She wanted it all out. She had
nothing to be ashamed of. Phil wasn’t some rapist. He wasn’t her
ideal lover, but she agreed to every single moment of sex with him,
each and every time. Often, she found it enjoyable, though she
thought it better to keep that part out. “He and I waited until we
got married, which was just over a year ago. Our anniversary was
October. He never forced sex with me; he was too busy trying to be
my friend, Liam. And he was. I’m sorry it hurts you to think that I
shared my body with another man, but I can’t change that. And what
I do with you in our bed has nothing to do with Phil or any
feelings for Phil. It’s us, and only us.” She wiped away loose
tears. “I won’t let you make me feel dirty or ashamed….”

“
Kay, stop.”

Liam kicked off his covers. He was out of
the bed and to the other side of it before she could blink. He sure
could move fast when he put his mind to it. When he wanted to hold
her, there wasn’t much she could do to resist. Though she was hurt,
she allowed his arms to close around her and pushed up against his
warm, hard frame. “I don’t want this to come between us,” she
said.

“
It hasn’t. I’m sorry I
asked.”

“
Then why did you?” she
shoved him off. “I don’t think of Phil when I’m with you. Do you
think of him when we’re together?”

“
No. Yes.” Liam put his
hands behind his head. “I’m jealous. I love you so much Kay, my
heart and pride keep fucking with me. I’m an asshole, because I
should know better. I just can’t think of any man knowing how
special you are.” He lowered a hand to rub his knuckles down her
cheek. “I see now, that it doesn’t matter. It’s me and you still,
and Mac. Kay…it’s hard to explain what I’m doing lately. I’ll fuck
up from time to time, but it’s not because I mean to. The things in
my head, my issues, they….” he moved in closer. “Forgive me,
okay?”
