Mind Play (Bennett Sisters Book 3) (44 page)

He
deepened the kiss as his
hand found her breast and gave a gentle squeeze
,
making her clit throb for more
. His lips left her mouth and traveled down her throat
,
only stopping when he reached
one of
her nipples. He pulled it in his mouth and sucked.

Claire could feel the tremors through her body down to her core. She wanted this man
insi
de her. She felt her cream increase from the anticipation.
His fingers traced a path through her curls. “You’re so wet
,
baby. Is this what you wanted
?
” Butch whispered as he traced a path to her other breast and showed it the same affection.

Butch pushed a finger through her folds and slid it in and out
. It wasn’t enough. “Butch
,
I need more.”

He added two more digits and quickened his assault. 

“Oh god yes.” Claire knew she wouldn’t last long. She’d wanted this since last night. She’d dream
ed
of making love again to this man since the last time they’d slept together.

Butch placed his thumb over her clit
,
making light circles as he continued
sliding his fingers in and out of her, increasing the pace.
Butch left her breast and kissed her neck. He whispered
,
. “Come for me
,
baby” when he added another finger and pressed down on her nub.

The sensation threw her over the top. She came screaming his name. He covered her mouth with his
,
absorbing her screams
as he continued moving his fingers in and out of her
,
coaxing her through the
orgasm
and through the remaining tremors. His kiss slowed
,
as did his fingers. He leaned back, pulled his fingers from her channel and lift
ing
them to his mouth
,
sucking her juices off each finger.
He leaned over and kissed her again. “Did I hurt you?”

Claire laughed. “No. Can we do it again?”

Butch smiled down at her. “I think
,
if I kept you up her much longer, Abby would come back and kick my ass. We need to get you cleaned up and dressed.
”

He
kept to his word. He helped her dress
. H
e even ran a brush through her hair and squeezed the toothpaste on her toothbrush. He
then
helped her into the sling that
had been
left to keep her arm immobile and decrease the chance
s
of pulling her stitches. She wasn’t use
d
to relying on anyone
,
much less him.

Twenty minutes later
,
they descended the stairs. She
was
surprised to find Emma in her kitchen cooking breakfast. She
didn’t know
when they had gotten back, but if she had to guess, Emma had started demanding
to return
at the first onslaught of cramps. Claire smiled as Emma walked over and handed her a couple of coffee. Emma hugged her
, careful of her sling
,
and whispered in her ear. “Another ten minutes and I’m afraid
Mike and Jake
would have
gone
upstairs looking for you.”

Claire felt the instant
heat
in her cheeks. They sat around and ate breakfast while she filled them in on Andrew’s thoughts
and the part Joel Winter
s
had played in killing their father
. They
took
the news better than she
’d
expected
. They
didn’t
jump up and start strategizing; they
simply continued to
enjoy each other’s company.
Claire bet that the strategizing would start tomorrow
if they hadn’t already started and tried to keep it silent
. They’d already sent Abby’s team to Andrew
’
s apartment and Butch had started background checks into everyone they knew. Each person doing what they did best.
Thompson had picked up Regina trying to get out of town and had kept her for questioning.
Claire knew them all to well. The front they were putting on for her was sweet in it’s own way, but they should have know that she wasn’t going to sit back either. She’d already called Mrs. A
initiating
the best investigator she knew into the mix. She’d find the gossip and probably before the rest of them.

Claire let the charade continue and enjoyed their company. If there was one thing they’d all learned by the psycho’s in their lives, it was that life was too short not to enjoy it when you could, and she had every intention on doing just that.

After breakfast was over
,
they agreed to meet for dinner
. Butch
insisted Dr. Lister take one more look at her wound
before she and Butch headed out
on a drive. She had her head rested against the
passenger
seat of her car
,
enjoying the sun on her face, when she felt the car stop. Claire opened her eyes to see they were sitting in the driveway of
her dream
house
—t
he huge house on the hill that she’d admired since she was a little girl. She turned to Butch.

“Why are we here?”

“It’s a surprise.” Butch cut the ignition, got out of the car
,
and walked around
it to her side
,
pulling her door open. He held out his hand, helping her from the car. They walked up the steps. Claire glanced around
. S
he just knew they were about to get in trouble.
Butch pulled some keys from his pocket and unlocked the
huge French
door
s
, pushing
them
open. He held out his hand
.
“After you,
angel
.”

Claire walked into the empty house and looked up at the crystal chandelier hanging overhead. She whispered
,
“I’ve always wanted to see the inside of this house.” She lowered her gaze. “How did you know?”

Butch took her hand. “I believe you made me a promise.”

Claire had no idea what he was talking about. Here they were in this beautiful mansion on the hill
,
and he wasn’t making any sense. Claire tilted her head. “Did I?”

“Yep. You said that you’d marry me if I got you that rock on your finger and this house on the hill.” Butch got down on one knee and
clasped
her good hand
in his placing a gentle kiss to her knuckles
. “Claire Bennett, will you keep your promise
?
”

Butch had certainly kept his promises.
Claire had no doubt
of that
when he was still at her house the next morning. He hadn’t left her when
the crisis
was over. He’d stayed by her side. She felt a tear trickle down her face. The love in Butch’s eyes w
as
aimed at her. She loved this man like no other
,
and she would spend the rest of her life cherishing every minute she had with him. “
We
Bennett women always keep our promises.”

Butch stood up and pulled her in
to
his embrace
.
He kissed her, and as the kiss deepened, she felt that familiar passion flare between them
.
He pulled back and looked down at her with a twinkle in his eyes. “Good, then we need to start picking out names for the five children you promised me too.”

Claire threw her head back and laughed. It was never going to be a dull moment with this man.
