Winning Her Love (7 page)

They both saluted him, and he rolled his eyes and went to his bedroom, locking the door.

He gently laid Lana on the bed, and she looked up at him with big brown eyes. “I have to have you at least once before I leave. I’ve crushed on you for years.”

Chad was shocked at her words. “Really?”

“Uh-huh, but you are a no-no for me, because you’re my bestie’s brother. But it’s why I’ve only ever dated or been with one man.” She reached up and hummed as she let the tips of her fingers slide up and down his body. “I couldn’t leave though and not at least try and have one time with you. I figure Steph will forgive me as I’ll be overseas.” She yanked him to her, plastering her mouth to his.

Chad knew she was drunk and he should slow them down. That he should stop, but when her fingers hooked into his jeans and undid his button and zipper, he knew he was goner. He came down onto her and slid the straps off her shoulder and pushed her breasts up. The black lace bra she wore needed to go too. He was eager to see the beauties that they held. Helping her sit up, he slid the dress down and unhooked the bra, grinning as the plump globes fell out. Leaning down, he sucked one round nipple into his mouth before repeating the motion with the other.

Lana arched into his touch, and he trailed his hands down and pushed her dress up to her waist before moving her g-string to one side so he could explore her pussy. She moaned, and her hands came to rest at his shoulders and ran up and down his back. He eased away from her and stood, gathering her to him and taking her clothes off. Lana giggled and fumbled with his pants.

Together they threw the clothes on the floor, and he pulled her back to him and laid them back on the bed. His elbows rested on the bed as he hovered over a now naked Lana. She was gorgeous, all curves and in the right places, big full breasts, a flared waist with a slight stomach, thick strong thighs, and dainty feet. He gazed back up at her lust-filled eyes as she looked him up and down, licking her lips.

Looking up at her, he snaked his tongue out and circled the areola of her breasts before leaning further down and sucking the tip into his mouth, then repeating the process with the other. Cupping her breasts, he massaged them and sucked her nipples in deep.

Releasing her breasts, he trailed his fingers over her body to the juncture between her legs, where he let his fingers explore her pussy and sink in and out of her wet core. Easing down her, he licked her skin and sucked on her before nibbling her stomach and settling between her spread legs. Pulling his fingers out of her pussy, he sucked them into his mouth, moaning as her sweet taste exploded onto his tongue. She tasted like heaven, and he wanted more. Chad dived back down and buried his face between her pussy lips, licking her up and down before he drove his tongue deep in her core.

“That feels sooo good. More, Chad. Give me more,” she rasped as her fingers came to rest on his head and threaded through his hair.

He nestled in closer and moved his lips back and forth over her clit and licked and sucked on her nub until she was bucking against him. Chad knew Lana was close to coming. Her breathing came out in gasps the more he explored, and her legs tightened around him. Chad added a second digit, thrusting them in and out as he sucked her clit. Her legs started to quiver around him, and he drove his fingers deeper, faster. Lana moved with him now, and he knew she was about to come any second. He was eager for it.

His teeth scraped over her nub, and he pumped his fingers deeper and harder. He sucked her clit in as he pushed up high, and she fell apart, screaming his name. Chad felt her muscles squeeze around him, and he told himself to hold on as his own body that had a small fire starting to burn became ablaze at the sight of her and the feel of her.

“Chad. Oh, Chad!” Her grip on his hair became almost painful before she let go.

He drank her in, enjoying her sweet taste before he licked his way back up her body, hovering on his elbows over her and watching the bliss spread over her face. Her eyes were closed and her head arched back, and she had a dopey, secret smile on her face.

Chad was eager to see what she would look like as she fell over the edge into her bliss a second time, but this time because his cock had pushed her over heaven’s edge into her orgasm. Lining the tip of his cock up to her pussy and rubbing it along her pink, puffy lips, he propelled forward, thrusting his way home. Lana opened her eyes, and Chad brushed his lips over hers.

“You’re so gorgeous. I love knowing that I gave you the look on your face.” He gritted his teeth as he pumped in and out of her until he was buried to the hilt. He relaxed, resting his forehead on hers. “You feel so right. Like I’m in fucking heaven. I’ve never had anyone like you. Please don’t leave.”

He leaned down, balancing, and took her mouth to his, devouring her and showing her she was his, would always be his, and he wanted her to stay. Lana wrapped her hands around his back and held him close as he propelled into her pussy, giving her everything he had and more. Her legs followed her arms, and she helped his speed by pushing up to meet his thrusts every time as he drove into her again and again.

Craving release, he repeated over and over not to come before her, to hold out. Chad wanted to prove he was worthy of her. He changed his pace, savoring every time her pussy clasped his dick as he entered and retreated. His mouth ravaged hers, hungry for everything she could give. He wanted Lana, he’d wanted her for a while. She was of age now. She was old enough to be with him, and he wanted her to be with him. Lana tore her mouth from his, panting for breath as she arched into him.

Nestling into her neck, he licked where her shoulder joined her neck, and Lana moaned and turned her head so he had better access. Grinning against her, he sucked on her neck and pushed up high as he nibbled on her skin. Lana screamed his name at the top of her lungs as her pussy convulsed around him, squeezing and milking his cock, forcing his tightly wound control to break. Knowing he had satisfied her, he let himself fall, giving one powerful thrust into her and giving her his release. Moaning as the most euphoric feeling washed over him, he fell onto Lana and basked in the feeling.

Lana stroked his back, and after a moment of not knowing if he could move again, or even if he wanted to, he sighed and rolled them to the side, hugging her close and kissing her head.

When he woke the next morning he felt the best he’d ever felt. Wanting to have breakfast ready for her so they could relax and talk, he’d snuck out, thinking he would have plenty of time to do what he needed to do before she awoke. When he came back an hour later she was gone. He’d never felt so bad in his life. He’d debated for hours if he should call her, and days later he’d wondered if he should go see her. Over the years he’d never forgotten that night and he’d never forgotten her.

Could he be angry with her when he was the one who took advantage of her drunken state? No, he couldn’t. He sighed as guilt assaulted him. Chad was older and way more experienced, he should have used a condom, he should have said no. Lana sounded truly sorry, and she had drunk a lot of alcohol that night. He knew Lana, or he had, and she would never keep her child from her father.

He groaned. This was such a mess. He needed to know for sure. Chad knew the answer, but he had to ask anyway. “What night was Olivia conceived?”

“The night of your housewarming party.”

He nodded and kissed his daughter’s chubby cheek. “I’m her father, Lana. It was me you were with.”

“I…I don’t remember, but I believe you. She is your clone. I thought I saw you in her a time or two, but then I convinced myself it was wishful thinking. I was sure I’d remember if we were together. I truly am sorry.”

Everyone was quiet for a while until his beautiful daughter, who was playing with her lion his parents had gotten her, said, “I’m hungrys.” She turned to her mother. “Whated can I eats?”

“I’m hungry too, little miss,” Lockie said. “I say we eat what’s on the table and leave everyone else with what’s left over once we’re done.”

Olivia giggled. “Yous silly, Locks.”

Chad chuckled as Olivia said his brother’s name.

“You can eat now where you are. Next time Grandma will get you a special seat to sit on.” His mother’s voice was shaky as she spoke.

Olivia bounced on his lap. “I can calls you Grandma?” She turned to Lana. “Mummy, can I?”

He glanced at Lana to see tears falling down her cheeks. “Yes, sweetheart, you can, because she is your real grandma.”

Olivia jumped from his lap to Lana’s. “Mummy, yous said you didn’t knows.”

Lana kissed Olivia’s forehead and looked up, her gaze catching his. “I do now. I know who your daddy is too.”

Olivia squealed and hugged her mum. “I have a Daddy?”

“Yes. The man that has been cuddling you and is sitting next to us is your dad.”

His daughter stopped her bouncing and turned to look at him. He smiled at her and she hid her face in her mother’s shoulder before peeking out and studying him. “Hi.”

He cleared his suddenly dry throat. “Hello, Olivia.”

Olivia sat up straighter. “I haveded pictures. Mummy has lots of you. Butted I didn’t knows yous were my daddy.” Olivia glanced at his brothers. “Not uses. Mummy has only twos pictures of yous.” Olivia put her fingers up and then turned back to him. “Canna I call you Daddy?”

He was too choked up to say anything, so he just nodded. His sister hiccupped and his mother sniffled.

Olivia left her mother’s lap and came back over and sat on his. “I’m ready to eats nowed. Cans we eat?”

“Sure.”

Talking started around the table about what they’d done that week, but Lana sat quietly, nibbling on her food. He hugged his daughter every now and then, and once he’d cut up his food he reached over and held Lana’s hand that played with the hem of her shirt, giving it a squeeze. He couldn’t be angry at her, he loved her. It was as much his fault as hers, if not more his. Lana had birthed this magnificent being in his arms. She had given him a beautiful daughter. Lana had given him an amazing treasure. Olivia was the most perfect little being ever created.

Lana glanced over at him and gave him a forced smile before turning back to play with her food. For the first time in years he wished for a family dinner to end so he could get him, Lana, and Olivia out of there. He wanted to spend time with them.

* * * *

Lana kept her gaze darting around the table. No one seemed bothered about her and Chad, or what happened years ago. Catharine, Chad’s mother, laughed when Owen told them about an old man who was convinced he was abducted by aliens and was having their babies. Steph wasn’t acting different either, she laughed at her brothers’ stories and didn’t seem to be angry at her.

Lana didn’t know how she felt about everything. The Douglases acted like her and Chad were a done deal. That Olivia and her were now part of the family and life could go on. Lana had just been told some life changing news, and everyone around her was acting as if everything was sorted out and a huge bomb hadn’t just been dropped. Lana didn’t know what was happening. She’d gone from being single and thinking about a relationship to being thrown into the deep end with Chad, a guy she’d thought was off-limits, a man she now found out was the father of her daughter.

She was angry she was the last to know about how Chad had felt. Angry at Steph for knowing and not saying anything, angry that her whole life had changed within seconds and now no one seemed bothered, and most of all she was angry at herself for not seeing what was right in front of her. Lana felt like a fool.

Lana needed to go home and think everything over. Everything had happened so quickly, she hadn’t even had time to sort through her own feelings on what had happened, what she’d just learned. Lana wondered how her family would feel about her and Chad together, about Chad being Olivia’s father. Her brain was filled with a mass of questions and confusion.

She left Chad’s parents’ house early, using Olivia having to get up early for daycare as an excuse to go. She drove straight home and gave Olivia a bath and read her a story.

Lana still couldn’t believe the weekend she’d had. She was a responsible mother, or at least she had been, but now that everything had slowed down and she thought about the weekend she realized how stupid she’d been when every time she was with Chad she’d forgotten about using a condom. What responsible person did that? An infatuated one, who had no self-preservation when it came to Chad Douglas. She couldn’t get her head around the fact that when she was with Chad she turned into a sex-crazed nympho.

She showered, feeling dirty at the thought of her behavior, and put on an old shirt. She was lying in bed, reading and trying to relax, when she heard banging on her front door. Getting up, she hurried to the door, ready to blast whoever was on the other side as they could wake Olivia up. When she opened the door she was surprised to see David, the cop she’d been on a couple of dates with since coming back to Australia.

“Hi.” She felt guilty that she hadn’t called or told him he had no chance with her anymore. Chad had ruined her, that much she did know.

“I’ve been calling you all weekend, but you didn’t answer your phone. I came by earlier and you weren’t here. I was worried.” He pushed past her into her house.

Lana felt really bad now. “I’m sorry. I had a babysitter and I went out with Steph, and I’ve been to her family’s for dinner. They’ve been eager to meet Olivia, and Chad’s season starts next weekend.” She hadn’t lied. Everything she’d just said was true.

Pulling down her shirt, uncomfortable in what she was wearing, or in her case wasn’t, she grimaced as she realized what she had to do. But she was too tired to have a conversation with him now about not seeing him anymore. She’d call him tomorrow.

“David, I’m sorry I didn’t call you, but I have work in the morning, and Olivia is just down the hall and...” She backed him to the door and opened it, groaning when she saw Chad walking toward her and Steph behind him, her eyes wide as she took in the situation.
