For Her Pleasure (The Pleasure Series Book 2) (15 page)

“No it’s
not
time! I can’t find your brother anywhere and there’s no way I am having this baby
alone
.” There was fear in her voice followed by heavy panting.

Ashton swore long and hard. “Don’t worry. I’ll find him for you.”

“And tell him… to get here…
ASAP
!” she managed to get out.

There were more heavy breaths in the receiver. Ashton didn’t know much about having a baby, but from the sounds of things, his niece was anxious to be introduced into the world. He also knew his brother would never forgive himself if he missed the birth of their first child.

“Hang in there. I promise we’ll be there shortly.” He ended the call, then maneuvered through the crowd and headed toward the exit.

He would have to meet the beautiful songbird some other time. But he wasn’t worried. In a town as small as Sheraton Beach, he was certain their paths would cross again.

Chapter Two

Brringg
!

Through a heavy haze of sleep, Kaelyn Chambers reached for the ringing phone. Who the hell had the nerve to call her this early?

“Hello?” she said drowsily.

“Ms. KL Chambers?”

She rolled onto her back and groaned, “Yes?”

“Good morning.”

She shivered at the raw sexuality in his voice.
Gawd
, he sounded sexy! She suddenly felt this urge to ask him, “
Talk dirty to me, daddy
.” Instead, she stifled a moan and asked, “Who is this?”

“This is Ashton Ray Kilmer. I’m supposed to deliver your refrigerator this morning.”

With one eye open Kaelyn spied the clock read eight o’clock. She’d planned on sleeping late, but with a hypnotic voice like
that,
she was willing to make an exception. “Yes, what time?” she replied and closed her eyes again, imagining a handsome face to go along with that magnificent sound.

“I was hoping to deliver it in the next hour, if that’s okay with you?” he said huskily.

Oh my
! As sexy as he sounded, he could ask her to do just about anything and she’d be ready and willing. “Sure, that would be great.”

There was a pause. “You don’t sound too happy.”

Kaelyn released a cooing sound deep in her throat as she considered his question. “Trust me. For the last two days I’ve been using ice cubes in a picnic cooler to keep my food cold. You’re the
only
reason why I’m getting up this early on a Saturday morning.”

There was a low rumble of laughter that set off a slow burn between her thighs.
“Not a morning person, huh?”

She couldn’t resist a smile at the way his voice deepened like a satisfied lover that had her nipples hardening to points. She was certain as yummy as he sounded, he could give her all kinds of reasons to stay in bed. “No, not at all, but I will.”

“Good. I expect breakfast when I arrive.”

His words sent a shiver down her spine, and her insides turned to jelly.
“Breakfast?”
Kaelyn giggled nervously at his presumptuous attitude while warm liquid pooled between her thighs. She wet her lips and decided there was nothing wrong with a little harmless flirting over breakfast. “As happy as I am to get my refrigerator I might be willing to cook up a little something.”

“Good. I expect to smell bacon when I get there.”

He hung up and Kaelyn lay there, eyes closed, her stomach clenched with heady anticipation. The voice was what dreams were made of. Speaking of dreams…

She had spent a restless night dreaming about a man she had spotted sitting at the bar, staring at her while she sang karaoke. As soon as their eyes met her heart gave an involuntary thump. Even from a distance, he looked fine as hell. She found herself gazing across at his mouth, thinking about what those lips would taste like and how good they would feel licking her pussy. Consumed by her thoughts, for a second she had almost forgotten the song.

After Kaelyn had returned from the bathroom, she had walked over to the bar hoping to see him still sitting there. But he was gone. She couldn’t begin to understand why she had been so disappointed. But there was something about dark close-cropped hair, a thin mustache and a rugged hard face that caused her mouth to dry and her throat tighten.
And his body
.
Damn
! He had broad shoulders and long powerful legs that she was certain guaranteed hours of deep, hard penetration.

Talking to her good friend Mackenzie had clearly been a waste of time. She told her practically nothing about him, except he was a native of Sheraton Beach. Kaelyn had been living in the small oceanfront town for almost six months and had never seen him at
Spanky’s
on a Friday evening.
 
She would know because unless she had a photo shoot, Kaelyn rarely ever missed karaoke. Instead, she was there, singing her heart out. At one time she had even tried to pursue a career as a singer before a music producer told her, “Honey, you don’t have what it takes to make it in this business.”

Regardless, singing in front of an audience was something she had often dreamed about, although last night she had dreamed of something—
correction
—someone else. Her mind returned to her dream that had been interrupted and the gorgeous man with skin so dark it hinted at long hours out in the sun. Kaelyn imagined lying flat on her back and him sliding between her legs, pounding her, bringing pleasure for both of them. With a moan, Kaelyn spread her legs and slid a hand between her thighs, then flinched as she pushed two fingers inside, stroking her pussy the way her lover would have. The vision became so real more moans slipped from her lips as she masturbated, increasing the rhythm.

“Yes, that’s it, baby… just like that… just like that,” she murmured and within minutes her body was throbbing. Spreading her legs even wider, Kaelyn plunged her fingers even deeper. An orgasm was so close she could feel it. With her right hand she reached over to her nightstand, pulled out the top drawer, then fished around until she felt what she was looking for beneath her fingers.

Her silver bullet.

She turned on the power, causing it to vibrate then brought the small egg-shaped device up along her wet folds and pressed it against her clit. “Oh yeah,” she flinched then rubbed it across her entire pussy before bringing it to her nub again. And as soon as she applied a little more pressure to her clit, an orgasm took over. A loud wail ripped from her lips that had her bucking wildly on the bed. Her body
rocked ,
shook, then she collapsed on the bed and released a long sigh. While her breathing slowed, Kaelyn thought about those dark eyes staring up onto the stage and shivered. She just wished she’d had a chance to talk to him and hear his voice she was certain sounded as sexy as the man who was just on the phone.

Her eyes sprang open and Kaelyn jackknifed into a sitting position on the bed. She had less than an hour to get herself together before her mystery man arrived.

She couldn’t wait to see his face.

He was hard as a fucking rock.

Ashton urged his pulse to slow down. The woman on the other end of the phone had sounded downright delectable. He shook his head. Two days in a row and he had a serious hard-on by the sight and sound of a woman. It was becoming apparent he had gone without sex for far too long.

He looked down at the delivery sheet. He was headed to the west side of town to deliver a stove,
then
he would stop by KL Chambers house on the way back to the store. After that he would drop by the hospital to see the new addition to the Kilmer family.

After eleven hours of labor, Christina
Raye
Kilmer had been born. His brother Roy had sounded so tired when he called him this morning that there was no way Ashton could have said no to the favor his brother asked—handle the store’s deliveries.

Roy ran Kilmer Appliances, a store that had been in their family for several generations. Recently, they made the decision to relocate into the thriving new shopping district of Sheraton Beach. While Ashton decided to follow his own dream, his brother stepped into their father’s shoes and had taken over the family business. Roy was passionate about the store and its loyal customers.

After Ashton sped away from
Spanky’s
, he found his brother out delivering a washer and dryer in Rehoboth Beach. No sooner than he arrived, Ashton sent Roy off in his Jeep Wrangler to the hospital while he stayed behind to finish the installation at the couple’s home. Ashton knew the appliance business just like his brother. Only his passion had always been selling cars. After graduating with a degree in business, Ashton opened Platinum Pre-Owned Automotive, which was now the largest pre-owned luxury car dealership in the state.

Thirty minutes later, Ashton finished installing the stove, and climbed back in the truck, heading toward the shore. The road stretched ahead of him through the dense green hills surrounding the small town. In the distance, at the highest elevation, was the Beaumont Hotel. The luxurious five-star resort, one of a worldwide chain, offered guests every amenity possible. It was also the largest employer in Sheraton Beach, providing generous revenue to the community. The local family had been customers of Kilmer Appliances for several decades.

Ashton turned onto a winding road, around a cliff where the waves caressed the strip of sandy beach. To his right, he spotted a couple holding hands as they strolled together out onto the pier along the shore with a little girl frolicking in the water a few feet ahead. At the sight, he felt a tug at his heart. He often wondered if his marriage had weathered the storm, would they have a daughter about that age right now, then he decided why waste time thinking about something that just wasn’t meant to be.

Ashton inhaled the salt-scented ocean breeze then made a turn at the stop sign and obeyed the thirty mile an hour speed limit. There was no denying it. He wanted what his brother had with Lacey—a wife to come home to, and now a child. Roy had met Lacey online and from the first date he knew she was the one for him. Ashton had tried internet dating but it had been one disaster after another until he finally cancelled his online account and decided to stick to meeting women the old fashioned way. Not
that things
ever got any better.

Maybe I’m cursed
, he wondered with a scowl.

Already thirty, if his love life didn’t change soon then he would just settle for enjoying his future nieces and nephews like they were his own. One thing for sure, he wasn’t settling for just anyone. He wanted to feel an attraction as powerful as the one he had felt last night… and again to the sultry voice that was on the other end of the phone. In fact, he got another hard-on just thinking about it.

As he slowed at the corner, Ashton glanced down at the clipboard to make sure he had the correct address. The delivery was in an area with small quaint cottages, looking down onto the sandy beaches.
 
While he drove, he thought about his conversation with Ms. Chambers and remembered her soft laughter. It was a musical sound that was something he wasn’t likely to forget for a long time. And then his imagination went wild with wickedly tantalizing images of walking into her house to find her lying naked on the bed, sprawled out for him to do as he pleased. Desire bloomed in his stomach so instant, he groaned.

Anxious to reach his destination, Ashton pushed his foot down on the gas.
