His Hotcakes Baby (9 page)

She scowled at the two of them,
annoyed at Frasier for teaming up with Chase.

Frasier handed her small bag to Chase
and tugged her closer to the edge of the boat.  She stepped on to the bunk
holding his hand and shrieked when Chase’s hard hands closed around her waist
and lifted her onto his boat.  He held her against him and looked into her
eyes.

Her eyes flared and she lowered her
lashes to stare at his chest.  She bit her lip and turned to Frasier.

“I’ll see you guys in the morning.”

“No, you won’t.  My family is here and
I’d like you to get to know them.  Besides, you told me you make a point of
resting your team over weekends.”

“Yip, that’s the truth, Mack.  We are
all tired and those results will still be there on Monday to be analyzed.”

“I guess now that the two of you have
become best buddies I have no say in the matter.”

Frasier just chuckled, threw the
anchor rope back to Chase and waved goodbye as he jumped from the other boat. 
They were soon on their way.  Mackenzie frowned when he drove past the Beach
cottage.

“Chase, where are you going?  I really
need to get clean and put on some fresh clothes.  I can’t meet your family like
this!”

He frowned at her and mumbled before
he turned the boat around and headed back to the Beach cottage.  He anchored it
quickly once they docked and lifted her onto the jetty.  He sauntered after her
all the way up the gangplank and onto the porch of the cottage.  Mackenzie
turned to him. 

“You don’t have to wait.  I’ll drive
up with the four wheeler.”

“I’ll wait.”

“Chase …”

Mackenzie sighed, noticing the
stubborn twist of his lips.  He was not going to budge.  She just shook her
head and walked into the house.  Chase sank down on one of the plush chairs on
the porch.  She chewed on her lip, her core pulsing erratically at the thought
of him sitting a few feet from where she would be standing naked in the shower.

She lasted until she wiped herself dry
and blow dried her hair.  Her hands were shaking she was so aroused.  She
needed release of her body’s needs, and she needed it now.  There was only one
man she wanted to feed that need and he was sitting a few feet away from her. 
It was his fault she was in this condition.  He said she was his
responsibility, so it was time for him to be responsible!

She walked to the porch with only a
towel around her.  Chase felt the air lodge painfully in his chest when he
looked up and she stood in the door with only a towel around her.  The look in
her eye one of heat and lust.  He cursed when his dick sprang to attention so
fast he could not breathe at all.  He just managed to get it under control and
just one look from her destroyed all his hard work!

“Mackenzie …”

“I have a favor to ask of you, Chase.”

“Yes?”  He forced the word past his
lips.

“I am not sure if you are aware of the
fact that a woman’s sexual need is extremely strong during her pregnancy?”

“I … was not … aware of that.”  His
voice sounded even more raspy than usual.  His hands were fisted on his thighs.

“Well it is true and … I have been …
suffering … very badly for weeks now.  I … need … ahum … I need you to … would
you have sex with me … please?”

Chase
felt the air in his lungs trying to escape, but every artery and cell in his
body froze. He gasped and gulped for air when he started to feel dizzy.  He
took a deep breath and forced his hands to relax.  He stood up from the chair,
his dick so hard he had to rise slowly, least he broke it in two!

“No … I won’t.”

“You … won’t?”

“I won’t have sex with you, no.  Were you
to ask me if I would make love to yo …”

“Would you make love to me …please? 
Here … now!”

He reached her by then and did not
stop, he walked her back into the Beach cottage, through the door into her
bedroom.  As usual he was shirtless and he pushed his shorts and jockeys down
and off in one swoop.  Only then did he reach for her and yanked her into his
arms.

Mackenzie’s eyes met his, her
desperation clear and shallow in hers.

"Kiss me!!" she gasped,
caught up in the electric current raging through her body, needing to taste his
lips, to feel his body over hers, his bare chest pressed against hers.  Chase
crushed his lips to hers with such intensity that she could hardly stifle a
gasp.  His tongue penetrated her moistness; his mouth sucked her tongue into
his. He kissed her until she was achy, breathless and clinging to him. 

She ran her hands over his hips
caressed his muscled cheeks. He tugged the towel loose and threw it on the
floor, lowering her on the bed to settle between her legs. With every sweep of
his tongue he pressed into her and she could feel how incredibly turned on he was. 
Her aching body responded with another flush of liquid heat to her core.

She urgently ran her hands over his
back and down his sides was rewarded with a harsh growl. She seductively teased
him with her fingertips, tugging on his nipples, wanting to make him ache for
her even more.  

Mackenzie moaned loudly when his
fingers tugged on her nipples in reply and cried in ecstasy when his lips
closed over an achy nipple to suckle greedily.  He swopped to the other and
gave it the same pleasure. Turning her head she whispered urgently into his
ear. 

"Make love to me...please … I
can’t wait!"  

His hands slowly moved over her
stomach and down to her hips. He began massaging her thighs while his lips
teased her nipples.  Her legs spread wider.  Mackenzie withered against his
hand and shouted when his fingers found her clit and rubbed over it sensually.

“I need you now!  Please Chase … I
can’t wait!  Inside … you have to get insiiiidee!  Yeesss!”

Chase plunged inside and reared over
her with his hands next to her shoulders.  He held still, just savoring her
body clamping around him like a custom made glove, gripping him so tight, he
felt as if he became part of every fiber inside her.

He pulled back, nearly all the way and
she whimpered.  He thrust then, slow and with a consistent strong plunge in and
out.  She writhed and clamped her hand around his biceps, digging her nails
painfully into his flesh.

“Harder … Chase … I need more … please
Babe!  Deeper!  Go deeper and harder!  Ooohh!”

He could deny her nothing and he
increased his pace, plunging harder and deeper.  She mewled, shouted and cried.

“More … oh please more!”

Chase pulled his knees up and rose on
them between her legs.  He pulled her hips up with his and she was arched with
only her shoulders on the bed.  He thrust then and she cried out, her face infused
with pleasure.  In the position he held her, he made sure he grazed her G-spot
with his dick with every forward thrust.  She cried with every thrust, her head
arched back, digging into the pillow.  Her legs clamped around his waist and
she locked her ankles behind his back.

The pressure inside her built so
rapidly, she was breathless, her body felt as if ready to combust with the heat
rushing through her veins.  Mackenzie’s scream shattered the silence around
them when her climax ripped through her with his fifth thrust.  She arched
higher, whimpered desperately and Chase shouted as she gripped and milked him
so hard his climax rushed through him immediately thereafter.  He plunged hard
and pushed her back into the bed, plundering once, twice and his release shot
inside her, taking away his ability to move.

Mackenzie’s inner muscles tugged at
his, pulsing intensely, drawing him even deeper.  Her breathing chopped and
irregular.  He did not even feel her nails digging into this back, he was so
replete.  They took a long time to catch their breath.  Chase kept his shaft
pressed deep inside her, but he kept the weight of his body off her by leaning
on his elbows.

He nuzzled his lips in her throat and
felt her hands caress down his back.  Her legs still tightly wrapped around his
waist.  He has never felt so relaxed, so completely … at home, as he did right
at that moment.  He felt at peace.  He felt like he belonged … with this
woman.  Somehow he knew.  He knew he would never find with another what he did
with her.

He startled and his body tightened. 
He leaned back and his eyes met her shadowed ones.  She has spoiled him for any
other!  Him … the renowned bachelor!  The gigolo that all women wanted and he,
mostly too happy to comply, knew now, he wanted no other.

“Are you okay, honey?  I did not hurt
you?”

“No, of course not.  Why would you
think that?”

“I … ehm … tend to lose perception and
control when I am inside you.  And you are pregnant.”

“But still the same woman with the
same working parts! Why is it that men always think we are brittle just because
we are pregnant?”

He withdrew from her and disappeared
into the bathroom, his mind still in shambles.  He wanted more of her … so much
more … and not just her body.  He brought her a cloth and handed it to her,
watching her clean herself.  She grabbed the towel he threw on the floor and
covered her nakedness.

“You don’t have to stare!”

“Hotcakes, I more than saw you naked
just now, yet you blush when I look at you after?  I promise you, honey.  I
don’t make love with my eyes closed.  I love watching every movement of yours.”

“Do you do that so you have material
to use in your books?”

Chase laughed and just shook his head.

“I just did you a favor, hotcakes. 
Now I need one from you.”

“A favor?  You see what we just did as
a … oegh!  Why don’t you just go?  I’ll find my own way!”

Chase was still naked and he walked
into her where she stood next to the bed.  He ripped the towel from her body
and pressed her tight against him.  His nakedness, his hardness propelled a
siege of fire through her.

“I know what I want and need from you,
Mackenzie, but I’d be damned if I know what you want or need from me.  I need
you so bad, woman, that I take every little crumb you throw my way.  How the
hell am I supposed to see it?”

“Do you believe me to be the type of
woman to just fall in bed with a man for sex?  Any man?”

“No!”

“Then how can you not know?”

She pushed him away and walked to her
cupboard to get dressed.  Chase stood gaping after her.  Not sure he understood
what she just said.  He picked his jockeys and shorts up and pulled them on. 
He found his sneakers he kicked off on the porch while he waited for her and
stood staring out to sea. He felt her presence behind him.

“Would you move back with me, Mackenzie? 
I need you …every day … not just when your horm …”

“Yes.”

He spun around and stared at her.

“Yes?”

She smiled one of those beautiful,
radiant smiles that turned him into mush.  He took a step closer, his eyes
burned like liquid gold.

“Now?  Will you move in now, so I can
fall asleep with you in my arms tonight?”

“Yes, Chase, now.”

He moved past her and pulled her bags
from her cupboard and just threw her clothes into the bags.  Mackenzie just
shook her head and went to pack her toiletries.  She refused to dissect the
feelings inside her.  The emotions that have been twirling around and around
since his statement earlier.  His recent passionate declaration that he needed
her every day and wanted to sleep with her in his arms, made her head spin. 
She knew she had feelings for this man she never expected to have, not this
deep and this strong.  Feelings she was still denying, but they were there,
lurking and growing every day.

She acknowledged he has not admitted
to feelings, just wants and needs, but it was a start.  He was a renowned
gigolo and bachelor.  He might not know what his feelings were.

 He ushered her through the door and
down the jetty, so quick her mind spun.  It was clear he wanted her out of
there in case she changed her mind.  She smiled all the way to the main jetty. 
Aiden and Billy was waiting for them and quickly tied the boat down.

Chase handed Mackenzie’s cases to them
and they looked at each other.    They were quiet in the buggy on the way to
the house.  Mackenzie was amused and knew their curiosity was killing them. 
Billy cleared his throat, gesturing to the suitcases when they entered the
house.

“Does this mean Mack is moving back in
here?”

“Yes.”

“Do we put the cases in the ….”

“Main bedroom.”

“It’s about damn time!  We were
starting to wonder how the two of you even managed to make a baby w …”

“WHAT?”

Mackenzie noticed a beautiful brunette
gaping at them from just inside the patio arch, her amber brown eyes attesting
to her kinship to the man draping his arm around her waist and pulling her
against him.

“Chase?  Did I hear Billy correctly? 
You … two are pregnant?”

“Yes, sis.  We planned on telling you
after dinner.  Lolly, this is Mackenzie Lewis. Hotcakes, this is Lauren Locke,
my sister.”

Lauren walked closer, her eyes glued
on the beautiful dark haired women with the clearest green eyes she has ever seen.   
Mackenzie held out her hand, but Lauren walked up to her and hugged her with a
wide smile.

“I am so happy to meet you!  I never
thought I would ever have a nephew or niece.  Not with the way he was spreading
himself … oh!  I’m sorry!”

“What for?  You did not say anything I
did not already know.”

“Where did you meet?  How long have
you been together?”

“Okay, sis!  I am happy you are so
overjoyed, but Mackenzie has not had anything to eat as yet.  Once we have fed
her, we will answer all your questions.  Where is Mom?”

“They all went for a walk and a swim
at the west end beach.  They should be back by lunch time.”

She took Mackenzie’s hand and tugged
her out of Chase’s arm, which he reluctantly dropped.

“Come, we’ll find you something to
eat.  Is it nausea?  I had it too with Blake, my first born, but nothing when I
was expecting Scarlett.  I tell you it was bliss.  I did not even know I was
pregnant.  Oh Mack, my mother is going to be over the moon!”

Chase shook his head, listening to his
sister as she ushered Mackenzie to the kitchen.  He relaxed visibly.  His
sister had a sixth sense when it comes to reading people.  The fact that she
was immediately drawn to Mackenzie told him he was not wrong about her.  That
he should trust the feelings he refused to acknowledge as yet that has been
twisting his gut.

Lucy Paxton went up to her room to
shower before she joined her children next to the pool for lunch. She shocked
to a stop just inside the arch leading to the pool.  Her hand covered her
mouth; her eyes wide with wonder. She has come to despair ever seeing her son
with a woman by his side since Vivienne.  Chase sat on one of the double patio
loungers with a beautiful, dark haired woman next to him.  He held her hand on
his thigh.  There was a connection between them that was so strong it was
discernable even over the distance.

Her son has found his one!  Carter
always told her to be patient.  That the day their son found his one, she would
know immediately.  She would know because he would be proud to openly show his
feelings for her.  Lucy smiled.  She was not so sure her son was even aware of
his feelings, but the possessive look in his eyes already testimony to them. 
The Paxton men were very possessive over the ones they loved.

She walked closer and noticed the look
of jealousy in Bella’s eyes.  She has always been in love with Chase, but he
saw her as a sister. Chase noticed her and drew Mackenzie up with a quick
whisper in her ear.  Her eyes rose and she smiled shyly at Lucy.

“Mom, I’d like you to meet Mackenzie
Lewis.  Honey this is my Mom, Lucy.”

Lucy also pulled her into a hug and
looked deep into her eyes and smiled brightly.  She could stop worrying about
her son!  She took a seat next to them on the patio lounge chair.

“Come on, Chase!  Tell her!”

“Jeez, sis!  Put a sock in it, won’t
you?”

“If you won’t, I will!”

“You had the opportunity twice
already!  Allow me my chance at least!”
