Strollers & Stilettos: A Sexy Contemporary Romance (In Stilettos Book 4) (12 page)

He cleared his throat. “Jai?”

“Hi, baby.” She propped herself up on her elbow, and her hair cascaded down over her shoulder. The movement shifted the lingerie so that a sliver of her chocolate brown areola peeked out.

He hung his head. His mind whirred with everything he had to tell her, but his body was on complete meltdown. “What’s all this?” he managed to croak out. Maybe if he got her talking and didn’t focus so much on the hint of breast showing, he’d have time to focus his brain.
Come on, dude, stop staring at her tits and start talking.

But that wasn’t in the cards. Jaya sat up, and he got the full view of what she was wearing. Thin, fire engine red strips of fabric barely covered her nipples as they wound over her shoulders, over her breasts, then around her stomach to wrap around. On the bottom, a see-through demi skirt covered nothing but cast a shadow over all his favorite parts.
Shit
. He was in trouble.

She crawled over their California king bed, and he stood bolted to the floor. What was it he had to tell her again? Something important. Something—oh yeah, the video. He had to tell her about—

She cupped a hand over his rock-hard erection and stroked gently. “I’ve been sitting here, missing you. I thought maybe we could play a little bit.”

She scooted off the bed and stood directly in front of him. Her strawberry-scented shampoo mixed with her light floral perfume and wove a spell around him. The last vestiges of his strength snapped when she turned, brushing her ass against his cock. The skirt was higher in the back than in front. That perfect ass on display.

His hands, acting on automatic response, reached for her, steadying on her hips and squeezing her gently. So fucking soft.

Jaya moaned as she gyrated her hips. Working his cock to a near painful throb.

She dipped and rubbed her ass on him, and Alec groaned. “Jaya, this isn’t fair, I have something I need—ahhh.”

Jaya bent at the waist and braced her hands on the edge of the bed. Putting her ass in the perfect position for him to slide in deep from behind.

His hand gripped her tighter, and she moaned. She was deliberately trying to distract him. Given the music and the lingerie, she’d been planning this.

“Jai, I need to talk to you about something.”

She rotated her hips, and the devil on his shoulder whispered, “Fuck full disclosure; just take what you want. What
she
clearly wants.”

Her voice was throaty. “I have something to tell you too.” But her position didn’t exactly say, “Hey baby, I want to talk to you.” More like, “Hey baby, let’s fuck, then when your brain is so addled and you can’t see straight and all the blood from your brain has rushed to your cock, I’m going to hit you with something major.”

He licked his lips nervously as he tried to find the strength to step back and talk to her properly. But his wife knew him well. Too well. As soon as he moved away, she reached between her thighs, moaning as she ran her fingers over her sex. Bent over like this, she was completely open to him, and he watched, fascinated, as she caressed her slick folds.

He tightened his jaw, and the last reins of his control snapped. They would talk…
later
.

He shifted one hand from her hip to lift the inconsequential skirt out of the way. “Up on the bed, sweetheart. On your knees.”

Jaya complied, her every motion a tease.

“Open your legs, Jai.” His voice tore out of a constricted throat.

She did as he told her, but not enough, and he swatted her bottom. “Wider.”

With a surprised gasp, she complied. “Are you going to have me start calling you Sir now?”

He chuckled even as he shook his head and stepped behind her. No matter what, she had the power to make him laugh. “Now, sweetheart, while that would be entertaining, I much prefer when you’re attempting to boss me around. Makes saying no all the more fun.”

She started to turn, presumably to yell at him, but he stilled her by using his thumbs to part her slick folds. But it wasn’t until he bent and ran his tongue from her slick opening to her clit that she started to chant his name on a breathy whisper. Alec sucked and licked, re-familiarizing himself with her body. Taking the time to enjoy himself. He was in no hurry tonight.

As he licked at her folds, he slid one digit into her silken channel, and she widened for him even more, so he rewarded her with another one. When he found the hidden bundle of nerves deep inside, he hooked his fingers and pressed gently. In less than two seconds, her first orgasm rolled through her, and her legs shook as she bit hard into a pillow, muffling her cry.

He wasn’t done with her. As her body shook, he continued to slide his tongue over her intimately. Teasing her entrance then sliding over that tight stretch of skin between her pussy and her ass.

“Alec, oh, God. Oh, my God. Please—”

He wasn’t stopping any time soon. He wanted her limp and unable to move.

He slid his tongue down again to her clit, pausing only to suck and build her desire, before sliding back up and over her puckered hole.

Jaya’s audible gasp then moan made him smile. Separating her ample flesh with his hands, he gently teased the tight pucker, stroking and licking circles over the ring of nerves. As he licked her, fire boiled his blood and it rushed in his ears. He wanted all of her, nothing held back.

He was desperate to lose himself inside her. All it took was another sure swirl of his tongue, and she was coming around his fingers again while he licked her ass.

Alec stood on shaky legs, swaying a little as all the blood had rushed to his cock. Yanking his zipper down, he groaned. He had his cock out and against her slick entrance in less than a second. He shook as the swollen head met slick, wet, heat. Gently, he teased against the length of her hot entrance.

Jaya whimpered. “Alec. Please.”

Through clenched teeth, he muttered, “Little girls who tease get punished.”

She rotated her hips, taking the head of his cock into her. Her moan was low and guttural. “How are you going to punish me, Alec?” With her inner muscles, she stroked him, drawing him deeper, pulling him closer to oblivion. His answering swat on her bottom surprised her, and she gasped. “Damn it, Alec.”

He chuckled as he discarded the rest of his clothes in a hurry. He shifted their positioning so he lay on his back and she straddled him. “I seem to recall you liking that,” he whispered. “Or was I wrong?”

Jaya rolled her hips again, and Alec cursed.

“No, you weren’t wrong.” She lowered herself onto him slowly. Taking him inch by inch. Her eyes fluttered shut as she bit her lip and engulfed his cock inside her satiny sheath. When she settled on him, she slowly arched her back and levered herself off with an aching patience that was going to drive him nuts. Unable to let her torture him for much longer, he took control, driving back into her with one thrust, stilling them both.

He desperately tried to ignore the clawing desire that roared down his spine, urging him to take her hard and come quickly. Jaya continued to tease herself, and he could feel the walls of her sex as they quivered around him.

Reaching up, he palmed her breast and teased her nipple into a stiff peak. “Is this what you wanted, Jai? Me losing control. Unable to think straight?”

With a long moan, she threw her head back. “Yes.”

“So good.” He gasped. “What are you doing to me?” He slid into her again and again. Deep stroke in, slow slide of retreat.

“I’m—” She drew in a shuddering a breath. “Killing you slowly. I think for it to be a really thorough job I need to do it for at least the next eighty years or so.”

He dragged her down for a kiss even as he teased her nipple. “What a way to go.” The tingling along his spine burned. He knew how close he was, knew that in no time he’d be spilling into her. And damned if he was going alone.

Releasing her breast and sliding his hand over hers, he intertwined their fingers, and they stroked her clit together as he moved her with his body. Her silken channel milked him, drawing a release from him in a steady rhythm. She quivered over him, her legs shaking.

“Let go, Jai. You’re not in control.”

Even as she leaned back allowing him deeper penetration, she fought release, trying to slow their hands. Be he wouldn’t let her. He was too far gone. He needed her to come with him. Needed to feel her gripping him with her slick walls as her body quaked around his.

“Alec…”

He increased the pace of his driving cock and of their intertwined fingers, all the while gripping her hip tighter and tighter with each thrust.

When she finally flew apart over him, his orgasm chased hers by only a breath. She collapsed on top of him, their bodies joined together. He kissed her neck and her shoulder, dusting his lips over her soft skin, relishing that this beautiful, astounding creature was his.

Yeah, but for how long?

The guilt crept in even as the satisfaction settled. “We still need to talk, you know,” he whispered against her skin.

She exhaled and sagged even more, her body still limp. “I was sort of hoping you’d forget I needed to talk to you.”

“Come on, it can’t be that bad.”
At least not as bad as what I need to tell you.

Jaya nodded, her body still slack over his. “Okay, let’s get cleaned up, and we’ll talk.”

But before they could even disengage, the light of the lamps flickered, and both of their phones chimed with a warning bell.

What the fuck?

Jaya went still. They knew what those bells meant. Someone was trying to break into the property. The bells chimed again, and they both sprang into action, disengaging their bodies.

While he ran for the dresser and yanked on pajama bottoms, she grabbed their phones and snagged a robe. She tossed him his and whispered, “You go get the laptop. I’ll get Alexa.”

His heart drummed. They’d come up with a contingency plan when they’d bought the house as sort of a joke. Never in a million years had they thought they’d need to use it. But they both knew it well. She’d get to the panic room. He’d get his laptop and follow her. The actual physical laptop didn’t matter, but there was often sensitive information on financials and employees on the computer, so it was important to safeguard.

Before they left the bedroom, he kissed her briefly and whispered, “Be careful.”

He watched her run into the baby’s room before he headed down the stairs to check the security panel. It showed all doors closed, but the window in his office compromised. How had someone even gotten onto the property and made it past the fence? He snatched his laptop off the kitchen counter and turned to go back upstairs with Jaya, when his phone buzzed.

Alec answered with a brusque and hushed, “This is Alec.”

Mike Jones, one of the security guards from the gated entrance was on the line. “Mr. Westhorpe, I wanted to let you know that we’ve apprehended a woman on your property. We found her around the south side of the house with lock pick tools. We’re taking her down to the security office to wait for the police.”

Her? A woman?
Alexa’s mother?
Shit. He’d put Jaya and the baby in danger because of some woman he’d slept with? His stomach rolled. “I’ll be right there.” His conversation with Jaya would have to wait.

Chapter Thirteen

Okay, so maybe things hadn’t gone exactly according to plan. What, with the break-in and everything.

Jaya’s hands still shook as she thought about the previous night. After Alec had left, she’d spent the next several hours with Alexa. The baby slept like, well, a baby, completely oblivious to any of the dramatics that had occurred. Jaya, on the other hand had lain awake, staring at the ceiling, waiting for Alec to come home. Somebody had tried to break into their home. The sense of violation made her skin crawl.

Exhaustion had claimed her somewhere in the four o’clock range. Alec hadn’t even come home. No, actually, he had. But he’d left early, the only evidence of him having been there, a used shower and a note that he’d see her at the office.

How the hell had everything gotten so turned around last night? The plan was to distract Alec a little by making love then tell him about the baby. Given how he’d reacted about Alexa and what he’d said the other day about having kids, she didn’t think he’d be too receptive, and she was dreading it. She touched her stomach and rubbed. What if he didn’t want the baby? What if he reacted to the baby the same way he’d reacted to Alexa?

Even though her rational mind warned her that that was stupid, her more irrational brain took hold.
Stop, he adores Alexa now
. Yeah, maybe, but would he resent her? He already thought things were too chaotic with their schedules, and Lord knew they didn’t have enough time for each other.

Millions of women make it work all the time.
They’d work it out too. All she had to do was tell him.

The intercom buzzed, and her assistant Drea’s voice sounded in the otherwise quiet office. “Jaya, an envelope marked urgent arrived for you by messenger.”

She frowned, unsure who would be sending her an urgent letter, but replied, “Bring it on in, Drea.”

Drea knocked gently before opening the door and handing Jaya the envelope.
