Winning Her Love (3 page)

He circled one of her nipples with his tongue and she moaned. Chad swapped breasts, circling the other nipple and gently sucking it. He kissed his way down her body and hooked his fingers in her underwear and yanked them down. Then he lifted her, sitting her on the edge of the hallway vanity, and spread her legs. With the first swipe of his tongue he felt her legs shaking against him. He nestled in closer and swept his lips back and forth over her clit, slipping his tongue out to lick and suck on her. Her thighs squeezed around him. Her breathing came out in gasps the more he explored.

He chuckled as her hands came down to grip his hair and she spread her legs further apart and leaned back on the dresser, careful of the mirror. He sank a finger deep into her core and moved it in and out. Sucking on her clit, he grinned against her pussy lips as her thighs quivered around him. He added another digit and pumped them in and out of her faster. Lana moved with him now, and her moans had him sucking harder, devouring her, eager to taste her release. He scraped his teeth over her clit and spread his fingers inside her tight, wet pussy. He nipped her clit, and that was all she needed to fall apart and come against his mouth, pulling his hair as her body tensed and pulsed.

“Chad.” She screamed his name over and over as her thighs clenched and he lapped her cream.

Chad licked her skin as he nibbled his way back up her body and lined the tip of his cock up to her pussy, rubbing it along her puffy lips before pushing his way home. For barely a moment he thought about protection, but he knew he was clean, he’d just had a physical, and Lana wasn’t a girl who slept around. Lana was his, and he would do anything to keep her now that she’d let him claim her. He’d waited years for her, he wasn’t waiting any longer. This time he wasn’t giving her up.

Fuck, she felt so good. He’d never been bare with any other woman, and knowing it was Lana he didn’t know if he’d last long. When he was seated to the hilt he looked up into Lana’s face. Her eyes were closed and her mouth slightly open as she basked in her bliss. He loved this woman and shouldn’t have waited so long to claim her. She opened her big, warm, passion-filled eyes and he moved, easing out before he slowly pushed back in, savoring her squeezing muscles.

“You’re mine now, Lana.” He brushed his lips over hers. Buried to the hilt, he rested his forehead on hers. “I’m never letting you go.”

Chad took her lips in a possessive kiss, showing her all his pent-up need and want for her. She wrapped her hands and legs around him, her heels resting on his arse. She held on tight as he propelled into her over and over again, showing her the powerful, all-consuming need he had for her. Tonight he was going to brand Lana, by the end she would know who she belonged to.

Lana started to slide back, and he gripped her hips, holding her in place. Chad grunted as she moaned and arched into his thrusts. The tension in his body built, and he fought to hold off coming until Lana had her release. Gazing down, he ground his teeth and pounded into her. Fuck, she was gorgeous, with her face turned up, her mouth open as mewling noises escaped, and her eyes glazed with ecstasy.

The effect she had on him was unbelievable as his body tightened and wound up like a coil ready to explode. He needed her to fall over the edge so he could let go. Her groans and noises were turning him on so much that his usual control was almost nonexistent.

Leaning down, he circled her nipple before sucking it into his mouth and giving a light pull on it then repeating the process with her other one. Her body combusted around him. She dug her nails into his back and grinded her heels into his arse as her pussy sucked him in and held him in, squeezing and milking his cock.

“Holy fuck,” he yelled as her pussy clasped him in a vise-like grip and pulsed around him. Letting himself go, he held Lana tight and let her milk him of everything he had. “Lana.” He groaned as he emptied himself into her.

He came to rest on her and they leaned against the mirror for a moment before he groaned and moved off her, pulling her high heels off and dropping them to the floor. Gathering her against him, he lifted her off the vanity and carried her to his room where he gently placed her on the bed.

Easing himself on the bed, he gathered Lana to him and gave her feather-light kisses over her lips. “You haven’t said much. Tell me you’re okay with this. Tell me that you want this. You want to be mine.”

She sighed and untangled herself from his embrace. “I would never have thought this was a possibility. To tell the truth, I’m not sure how I feel. What we did felt so familiar to me.” She closed her eyes and ran her fingers through her hair.

Resting on his elbow, he stared at Lana, gauging what he should do next. Had he waited too long to tell her what he wanted? Would Lana give him a chance, give them a chance? “I want everything with you, Lana. I’ve waited for you to be re—”

“No. Don’t you dare say you waited.” She stood, tugging at the sheet and wrapping it around herself. “I know you, Chad. You haven’t waited for me. You fuck every woman who throws themselves at you. Oh God, I just became one of those women.” Lana ran out of the room.

Jumping out of bed, not caring about clothes, he went after her.

* * * *

Lana couldn’t believe what she’d done. She’d done the stupidest thing ever. She’d had sex with a Douglas—Chad, the biggest slut of the lot. You would think she’d learned her lesson after what happened with Olivia, but no, she was an idiot. She had no idea why she’d done something so stupid.

Steph wouldn’t like what had happened. Steph hated when her friends went after her brothers. Lana remembered how upset Steph had gotten when Lana had mentioned her crush on Chad. Steph was the baby of the family, a surprise child. Her mother was in her mid-forties when she got pregnant with Steph. Lana had told Steph she was over Chad, because she didn’t want to lose her friendship.

Oh God, what had she done? Dropping the sheet, she shoved her clothes on as quickly as possible, just wanting to get away so she could wallow in her stupidity. To think of why she’d let herself have amazing sex with Chad and why it felt so familiar, like she’d done it before.

A magnificently naked Chad gathered her to him as she leaned down to put her shoes on. “Angel, don’t go. Stay. Talk to me.”

She stood and gazed up at him. He was so tall, it made her feel small and fragile against him. “Talk to you about what? How I just stuffed up my friendship with my best friend because I did the stupidest thing I’ve ever done in my life? What happened? I thought we were friends. I vowed after what happened with Olivia that I’d never do anything stupid like this again. Oh God, your parents have insisted I go to your family dinner on Sunday, how on earth will I face them? I can’t look at your parents after what we did.”

Lana felt her whole body shaking. As much as she’d fantasized about Chad, she knew it could never happen. She tried moving out of his hold, but Chad held her tighter.

She loved Chad’s family. His parents had always treated her like one of their own, and she would be devastated if this changed how they treated her. Lana loved her parents, but Chad and Steph’s parents were just so much fun. They had family night every Sunday, even if it was a Rugby League night. They all went and supported Chad. Lana had been invited every time but Rugby League...well, sports in general weren’t her thing.

Tilting her head up, he kissed her. His lips locked to hers and his hands rubbed her body, bringing a fire burning through that before Chad she’d never felt. On a groan, Chad pulled away and picked her up, holding her by her arse, and walked to his lounge room.

“Hey, put me down.” She fought to get out of his embrace, angry that a side of her wanted to relax into his hold and enjoy all he had to offer no matter how temporary it might be or what problems it would cause.

“No, Lana. We are going to talk, and you need to calm down.” He sat on the sofa and moved her across his lap. “I should have done this a different way. I wasn’t thinking clearly. When you said you were dating again and talked about that guy, I cracked. I have wanted you for years. I just don’t want to be your rebound guy. I want to be your
it
guy.”

Lana sat still on Chad’s lap, shocked at what he was saying. She opened her mouth and knew she must be gaping at him like a fish. She shook her head and rubbed her eyes, and ears, maybe she’d heard him wrong. “Um…can you say that again? I think I’m more worked up than I thought and I’m hearing things.”

Chad’s fingers stroked up and down her back in a soothing motion. “Lana, being with you wasn’t a mistake. I have wanted you for years. I don’t know anyone I can just talk to and relax with like I can with you. When I would come and pick you and my sister up from parties or chaperon you out, I always had a blast. What I felt when I was with you I have never had with anyone else. I wanted to be ready for you. I needed to know you were ready. You weren’t before.”

“I’m not now. I couldn’t handle the heartbreak when you leave me.” She gazed into Chad’s dark green eyes as they stared intently at her.

“I won’t ever leave you. I want only you.”

“Chad, you can’t be serious. Why would you want me? I’m not your type. I’ve seen the women you go for. I’ve seen the women you’re photographed with.” She pushed herself off his lap and stood, pacing back and forth. She thought over what she’d done and her body came alive. Lana hated to admit it, but Chad was the best sex she’d ever had, nothing had ever felt so— “Fuck! We didn’t use protection. Holy shit, I just slept with the biggest slut I know without protection. I have to get tested. I need to book a doctor’s appointment. I need t—”

Chad stood and stopped her pacing, holding her close to him. “Lana, I promise you, you’re the only woman I’ve ever had sex with without protection.” He kissed her forehead. “I know you’re clean. You’re not the type of person to sleep around. And anything else we can deal with.”

His words had her freezing and looking up to search his face. Did he know when they had sex that he wasn’t using protection? No…surely not. She hadn’t thought of protection. Sex had never felt so good, and she’d been so caught up in everything that protection hadn’t even crossed her mind. What if… Oh no….

“Oh. My. God. What if I get pregnant?” She couldn’t be that woman with children by different men. She didn’t want to be that woman. It was bad enough she didn’t know who Olivia’s father was, but to have another child with a man like Chad who probably wouldn’t stick around… Argh, what a nightmare.

“As I said, we can deal with that together. It wouldn’t be the end of the world. Would it be so bad having a child with me?”

Her heart felt like it was about to beat out of her chest. She needed to breathe. She needed to go home and be far away from Chad and think. “Can you take me home?”

“No, I don’t want to.”

Pushing away from him, she backed up, not sure if she’d heard him right. “I want you to take me home.”

“I want you to stay here. I see the scared look in your eyes, Lana. I don’t want you away from me and thinking about silly things like not giving us a chance or trying to ignore what happened altogether.”

Wrapping her arms around her stomach, she searched for the closest exit, the patio doors. Walking to them, she opened the doors and went outside, taking deep gulps of fresh air. Everything was happening so fast. Her whole world had changed in just over an hour.

Arms circled around her waist and Chad brought her against his hard, toned, athletic body. Mmm, he felt so good.

“Give me the weekend to show you I’m serious.” His voice sent tingles down her body as he whispered in her ear then nibbled on her neck. “Please.”

Her body had never felt so alive. Everywhere he touched sent delicious throbbing through her body and straight to her core. Could she give him a weekend and go back if it didn’t work? Would she regret it if she didn’t take this chance?

Moaning as his hands eased her clothes off, she knew she couldn’t say no. Leaning into his hold, she closed her eyes and rested her head back on his chest. “You have tonight. Tomorrow I have to get Olivia.” She sighed. “If you want to meet her and spend the day with us, you can. Let’s see if we can make this work?” Opening her eyes, she turned, stood on tiptoes, and wrapped her arms around his neck. “If we decide to give this a go, I want to wait to tell your family.”

Chad didn’t say anything for a while, he just stared down at her before he slowly nodded. “Okay. I won’t
say
anything.”

“Good. So you won’t tell your family?”

“I will not voice what we are or what we’ve done.”

Lana relaxed, she would see if this would work. She would give Chad a chance. She’d known him most of her life. She’d trusted him before, she just hoped she could trust him with Olivia.

Chapter 2

Chad awoke feeling rested and relaxed. He tightened his arms around Lana, holding her closer to him. She moaned and snuggled her naked body against his. He gazed down to see Lana’s head turned up against his chest. Her wild, wavy hair sat in a messy halo around her. Her lips were puffy and full from being kissed all night long. As he noticed some beard burn on her skin, he reached up and rubbed his face. He needed to shave.

“Mmm, please tell me you’re not a morning person. The deal is off if you are.”

“Sorry for waking you, angel. I get up early to train.”

She opened one of her eyes. “What type of training?”

“I start off with stretches, do a twenty minute workout in my gym, then I go for an hour or so run, and when I come back I swim.”

She closed her eye and groaned. “Argh, I’m exhausted just hearing what you’re going to do.”

Lana rolled off him, lying on her back. He moved over her, caging her in. “Sleep in, and I’ll come and wake you when I’m done.”

“Ah, I wish. Olivia isn’t really an early riser, she gets up around eight, but this six o’clock is too early for me. I’ll set my alarm and get up in an hour or so and order a taxi and go to your parents to pick up Olivia.”

He leaned down and kissed her, brushing his lips gently over hers. He lingered, enjoying having Lana where he wanted her. “I can take you to my parents.”
