  “Really?” Autumn said. “Happiness?”

  Grady didn’t look at her but kept his eyes on the highway. It was his turn to blush.

  They drove on and Autumn turned on the radio to fill the silence. Her mind was racing. What was Grady offering her? Did he want a live-in nanny to help with Destiny? Did he want a woman in his life to do more than help out? Was he looking for a relationship? There were so many possible interpretations to his statement and she didn’t know if they thrilled her or terrified her.

  Did she want to move in with this man she barely knew? This man who’d obviously been through so much in his life, had a tumultuous past and a child from another woman? This man who had the power to make her heart race just by glancing in her direction?

  The morning turned to afternoon and they stopped for lunch at a restaurant by the side of the highway. Autumn brought the baby inside in her arms and Grady carried the carseat. They set it up in their booth and Destiny slept through lunch.

  When their food arrived, Autumn started eating hungrily before noticing that Grady was watching her.

  “Do I have something on my face?” she said, wiping her mouth.

  “Oh, no, sorry for staring, it’s just …”

  “Just what?”

  “Has anyone ever said you’re cute when you eat?”

  She looked at him and a grin spread across her face. She couldn’t help it. She’d never known a man could be so sweet. Maybe if there’d been a man in her house growing up she’d have known better what to expect, but it was all so new to her.

  “No,” she said. “My mother always tells me I’m unladylike.”

  “There’s nothing unladylike about you, Autumn Lane.”

  Autumn took another bite of her club sandwich but felt self-conscious. Grady laughed and looked down at his own food.

  “Sorry, I’ll stop staring at you. I promise.”

  She took a sip of her coffee and smiled. “It’s okay. I like it when you look at me.”

  After lunch they drove on and something happened that took Autumn’s breath away. She was sitting next to Grady, same as she’d been for hours, when he reached down from the steering wheel and took her hand. It was beginning to get dark and she was thankful the darkness would hide her blushes. She felt so shy.

  His hand was in her lap and she looked down at it, too scared to look at his face.

  What did this mean?

  His big hand held her smaller hand, and the weight of it on her lap was electrifying. She felt heat build between her legs, right beneath where his hand was resting, and when he squeezed her hand slightly she shut her eyes.

  She’d never been with a man before and she knew what was happening.

  “Grady,” she said, so quietly she barely heard her own voice.

  “Yes,” he said.

  “What’s going to happen?”

  Grady smiled at her and then winked.

  Autumn laughed.

  “What’s going to happen?” he repeated.

  “Yes. I’ve never done this before.”

  “I’ll tell you what’s going to happen. What I’ve wanted to happen since the first second I set eyes on you.”

  “Really?”

  “You have no idea, Autumn.”

  She felt a pang of guilt as she thought back to the night in Betsy’s room with Mrs. Hildegard. They’d spied on him. Then later, Autumn had crept back in and watched him masturbate. She’d touched herself. He had no idea it had happened and she wondered now what he’d make of it.

  She felt the same way he did. It was as if this had been building since the moment they first met. It was almost like it was meant to be, and nothing they did would stop it from happening.

  “Then what are we waiting for?” she said, and the second she said it, she threw her hand over her mouth.

  She couldn’t believe she’d had the guts to say that.

  Grady didn’t miss a beat. He got into the exit lane and they were off the highway and pulling into the lot of a motel a minute later. He grabbed the baby in the carseat and what little luggage they had and led the way into the hotel.

  They got a room for the night, put Destiny’s carseat on the sofa in the seating area of their room, and threw the luggage in the closet by the door. Miraculously, Destiny was fast asleep. All the time Autumn had spent playing with her in the car must have worn her out.

  Autumn stood in the center of the room watching Grady. He put a blanket on Destiny and then turned to face her.

  He didn’t say anything and Autumn wondered how long it would be before he broke the tension of the silence. She’d have said something herself, some comment on the room or the weird kid at the front desk who’d checked them in, but she felt too nervous to speak.

  When Grady walked toward her, she stopped breathing. She didn’t realize she was holding her breath until she felt his strong hands on her face.

  “I’ve wanted to kiss this mouth so badly it’s been driving me crazy,” he said.

  Autumn tried to respond but words escaped her. She couldn’t believe what was happening. Who was this man? Strong, muscular, tattooed, rich? She felt like he’d lived a thousand lives and knew everything about everything. He’d been to all parts of the country, had been involved in all sorts of adventures, and had seen violence that she could scarcely imagine.

  Compared to him she really was a child. Not just because she was younger, but because she was so much less experienced.

  What was he going to do to her? She couldn’t begin to know what was coming.

  He crushed his smooth, soft lips against hers and she felt butterflies in her stomach like she’d never felt them. His kiss made the rest of the world disappear. All that existed was his mouth on hers, his lips pressed against hers, the light stubble of his face against her chin, and his tongue running along her lip.

  He lifted her up and carried her to the bed, his lips firmly placed on hers the entire time.

  When he threw her down on the bed she felt as if the entire world was spinning. She lay there and looked up at him, her arms spread above her head and her legs hanging over the edge.

  She knew what was coming and she couldn’t wait another second.

  “Grady,” she said.

  “Yes?”

  She looked at him but couldn’t form any other words. She just giggled and he grinned back at her and pulled his shirt off over his head. His torso was so sexy, his bare chest, the muscles of his arms and shoulders, the tattoos. He was like something out of her deepest, hottest fantasies. She couldn’t believe what was happening to her and if it was a dream, she never wanted to wake up.

  “You better strip right now, Autumn. Otherwise I’ll rip those clothes off you and I know you don’t have anything else to wear.”

  Autumn giggled as she spoke. She couldn’t believe she was really having this conversation.

  “Maybe you’d like having me naked in the car tomorrow. That way you could get whatever you liked.”

  Grady laughed. “Such a naughty girl. I’d like it but I’m not sure what the state troopers would say if we caused a backup on the interstate.”

  Autumn crossed her legs as if that might protect her.

  Grady leaned down on the bed and put his lips on hers again. She leaned into him this time, the entire weight of his body on hers. She pressed herself against his hard body, his bare muscles, his throbbing crotch. She ran her hands down his back, all the way to the waist of his jeans, and when she reached the waist she let her fingers reach inside his pants and graze his ass.

  He pulled her shirt off and she looked up at him, terrified of what he’d think of her breasts. If he had any complaints, she couldn’t see them from the look on his face. He looked into her eyes and then gazed down at her breasts. She arched her back and let him unclasp her bra. He tore it off and flung it across the room.

  “Oh God,” she moaned as his mouth fell on her nipples, sucking and licking them like he was starving for her.

  “Autumn,” he sigh
ed, sucking her exquisitely.

  She wrapped her legs around his waist and threw her head back as he continued licking her nipples, his tongue running in rings around them.

  She began opening his jeans, unbuttoning them and pulling off his belt. When his pants fell open she reached for his cock and for the first time, felt it beneath the cotton fabric of his shorts. She gasped when she felt the size of it in her hand for the first time.

  How was that thing ever going to fit inside her body?

  Grady growled when she squeezed it and she let go instantly, as if she’d just caused a wolf to growl.

  He got up and pulled off his pants and shorts while she got out of the rest of her clothes. He looked at her, completely naked, and his jaw dropped. Autumn was so shy she wanted to shut her eyes but she forced them to stay open.

  The way he looked at her filled her with emotion and caused her to tremble. There was a lust, a hunger in his gaze that she’d never seen before. He was going to devour her. He was going to dominate her. He was going to make her completely his.

  And she couldn’t wait.

  She couldn’t wait to feel the pleasure of making love to this man. She couldn’t wait to be his. She couldn’t wait to moan his name in the throes of pleasure.

  He came back to her and pulled her up onto the bed so that her legs were no longer hanging over the edge. She felt a rush of anticipation. He was getting her into the position he wanted her in and she knew what it meant.

  He was over her, straddling her naked body, and she looked up into his eyes as his powerful cock grazed the sensitive skin of her stomach for the first time.

  “Oh God,” she whispered.

  “You’ve never done this before?” he said to her softly.

  She shook her head.

  He smiled. “Well, try to relax. You’re going to love every second.”

  She giggled, more out of nervousness than the funniness of the joke.

  “But if you need me to slow down just say wait and I’ll slow right down. Got it?”

  She nodded and his mouth came to her neck, kissing her passionately and sending butterflies through every part of her. From her neck, his kiss slowly moved down her body, over her breasts, over her stomach, and to the secret folds of flesh of her clit.

  She’d never been touched there before, and when Grady’s lips softly passed over her she shut her eyes and clenched every muscle in anticipation. Then he started kissing her, making out with her clit like he was kissing her mouth in a passionate flurry of licking and sucking. She tightened her stomach and clenched, the pleasure entirely new and completely overwhelming.

  “Grady,” she moaned as she squirmed under his attentions, his tongue sending pleasure through nerves she never knew existed. Instinctively, she lifted her legs to give him better access to her pussy. She brought them down around his head and he began sliding his tongue into the entrance of her pussy, wetting it and opening it up.

  His tongue slid far inside her and she reached down and locked her fingers in his hair, pushing his head more firmly into her body. She would have been shocked at her own boldness if she still had the consciousness to realize what she was doing.

  But she didn’t. By this point, she was already acting on pure instinct and emotion. Her body took over. Her ancient, instinctual animal nature, something she never even knew she possessed, took the lead. She knew what to do, even though her mind had never even fathomed being in this position.

  Somehow, through millions of years of evolution, her body and soul knew what her mind never could. That one day, a man stronger and bigger than she’d ever imagined, would be opening her up and preparing to take her in a way that had been designed not by man but by God. This was what was meant to happen. This had always been her destiny. She’d just never known it.

  She realized at that moment that she no longer needed to be afraid of what the future held. She no longer had to worry about all the things her mind didn’t know. Because there was a deeper knowledge, a knowledge that everyone shared, even without knowing it. It was the knowledge laid down by God at the moment of her conception. The knowledge that she was loved, that she was a part of a world that was good and kind, and that she would never be alone.

  And as that knowledge was beginning to wake up in her mind, Grady rose up from her and grabbed her thighs, pulling her tight against his own thighs. He lifted her by the ankles, resting them on his shoulders and leaving her bare pussy so exposed to his cock that he’d be able to enter her deeply and passionately as soon as he desired.

  She looked up at his strong face and couldn’t believe it was her legs that were framing the view. Her butt was against his thighs. He was on his knees. Everything about his body was positioned to enter her, to unleash an assault that would leave her trembling to her very core.

  He looked deeply into her eyes and there was such tenderness, such passion, such love. She knew he was waiting for a signal from her.

  She nodded, almost imperceptibly, and mouthed silently the words, “Do it.”

  And with that, the head of his cock pressed against the lips of her soaking pussy and pushed its way forward. His head felt enormous and she had no idea how it was going to slide inside her, but her body knew the answer, and seemed to stretch around him, welcoming him into her with an animal hunger.

  With the head of his cock inside her, he looked at her once more and again she nodded.

  He began sliding out of her and for a second, she was afraid he had changed his mind. But then the pushed forward, smoothly, softly, and slid in her a fraction more than he already had.

  She gasped at the feeling of being stretched out by him. He immediately began sliding back out, masterfully handling her, pulling her toward him as he slid inward, and holding her in position as he slid out. Without any pain, he managed to gently and slowly enter her ever so slightly more with each forward thrust.

  The pleasure and lust grew and grew and she wanted nothing more than for him to thrust into her and fill her entirely with the full length and girth of his massive cock. He knew better though. He didn’t lose control. Masterfully, he slid back and forth, entering her more and more deeply but never so much that she couldn’t handle him.

  After a few minutes of gently sliding back and forth, stretching and retreating, pushing and pulling, she felt open and ready to accept him.

  “Fuck me,” she sighed.

  He looked into her eyes and without warning, thrust forward and slid his monstrous cock all the way. She felt as if he was reaching into the core of her body, into her very soul. She’d never known anyone could enter her so deeply. He was right inside her body, his body pressed against hers, and his cock embedded inside her like a sword in a sheath.

  She clenched her pussy around him, trying to hold him inside her for as long as possible, and it was too soon when he pulled out. Her body yearned for him to remain, and was instantly satisfied when he slid back inside her.

  Back and forth he thrust, pushing in and out of her, her ankles resting on his shoulders, and not once did she want him to slow down.

  “Yes,” she gasped as his cock began hitting something inside her that sent waves of pleasure rushing through her body.

  “Oh, God,” she moaned.

  He held her thighs tightly and she saw something new come across his face as he thrust deeper and deeper, harder and harder into her body. It was the look of pleasure. It was the look of his orgasm, building up inside him and threatening to take him over the edge. She felt a throb in his cock, a sort of warning, as it expanded even more than it had so far.

  It was coming. She knew it.

  And she couldn’t believe it.

  He wasn’t even wearing a condom. What had come over them? What were they doing? This was madness, it was insane, but then, why did it feel so right?

  The first throb of his orgasm sent her over the edge. She came, her body pouring itself into the heavenly ecstasy of orgasm, as his cock did the same thing, pouring cum into her like she’d bee
n made just for him. Like she belonged to him. Like she was his, completely his, and his alone.

  “Autumn,” he gasped, and the sound of her name on his lips sent a thrill through her.

  Again and again his cock poured itself into her, and her body reacted by sending wave after wave of orgasm through her like tidal waves after a storm. They crashed through her, completely overpowering her, until she could no longer see or hear or feel the world around her. Everything disappeared, and all that was left was Grady’s cock, pouring itself inside her, deep within her pussy, and the pleasure of her orgasms crashing through her, over and over.

  Chapter Thirty

  Autumn

  Driving in the car the next day was strange for Autumn. She felt like a schoolgirl on a date. Every time Grady so much as looked at her, she blushed. She wondered if he was thinking about what he’d done to her.

  Was he picturing her naked?

  Had he enjoyed her?

  Did she do it right?

  Her mind was racing at a million miles an hour. When he took her hand, she felt warmth pour from his body into hers, as if he was the source of all life and everything that was good and safe and loving about the world. When he spoke, her eyes lit up.

  She wanted to sit there next to him forever. If they never arrived anywhere it would be fine by her. But then she thought about where they were headed. Her heart pounded at the thought of it. She and Grady alone with the baby in that cozy little cabin. It would be ecstasy.

  She looked at Grady and thought about what he might want to do to her when they reached the cabin. She couldn’t wait. She was hungry for him, her body tingling with desire and anticipation. Ever since she’d felt his orgasm inside her she knew she’d never be able to forget it, or live without it. She wanted to feel it again. She was hungry for more. And she wanted to have it forever.

  She wanted to have him forever.

  He’d cum inside her, without a condom, and all she could think about was feeling it again. She wanted him to take her over and over and she wanted him to love every second of it. She wanted him to feel pleasure like he’d never known. She had no idea what a woman was supposed to do to make sure that happened, but she felt certain she’d be able to figure it out under his guidance.
