Maybe Always (Maybe Series Book 3) (25 page)

Standing, he puts the cheap ring on my finger. A ring I know he will replace when he gets the chance, but this proposal is perfect, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
 

“Take it as an always.”

I hear the front door to our one-bedroom loft in New York open and close.
 

Finally
, I think.
 

I close my computer and meet Kinsley at the door. She quickly kisses me on the lips, but I can tell she’s distracted.
 

“What’s wrong?” I ask.
 

“Huh?” she says as she smiles at me.
 

She places her bag on the counter, and I see the shine of her stupid plastic ring reflecting in the light as she does.
 

I wanted to replace the ring right away, but after the proposal, we weren’t sure what to do with the money she had, and I had practically no money. We weren’t sure what to do with the Felton Corporation. With our lives.
 

It took us a couple of months to realize that we didn’t want to touch any of the tainted money from the Felton Corporation. We didn’t want to run the Felton Corporation. Basically, we wanted a fresh start. So, Kinsley sold the company, and we gave all the money away to charity.
 

Now, Kinsley works for an organization that helps battered women rebuild their lives. She’s good at it, and she really seems to love it.

She didn’t take long to figure out what she wanted to do, but it has taken me longer to decide what I want to do. I’m just not sure how I’m going to take the job.
 

“What’s got you so distracted?” I ask, holding on to her waist and kissing her neck.
 

She moans softly. “Right now, you.”
 

I grin. “Good.” I kiss her neck again. “Seriously though, are you okay?”
 

“Yes. I’m just worried about this woman who came in today. I’m not sure she’s ready to start over.”
 

I nod. “Be patient with her. It takes time.” I kiss her neck again.
 

“I know, but I don’t want to talk about work anymore.”
 

“Me neither. I want to fuck you.”
 

She groans. “Fucking sounds good.”
 

I move my hand under her T-shirt, feeling her smooth stomach. “I want to try something. Do you trust me?”

“Of course. What do you have in mind?”
 

I lift her up and carry her to the bed. I gently put her down, firmly kissing her on the lips. I walk over to the nightstand and pull out the items I bought today. I hold them out to her. She closely looks at the rope and whip.
 

“You want me to whip you again?”
 

“No. I want to use it on you.”

Her eyes widen.
 

“I think it’s only fair since you got to use it on me.” I lean down and kiss her earlobe before sucking and pulling on it with my teeth, the way she likes. “I think you will enjoy it, but if I take it too far, I will stop.”
 

I’ve been dreaming about doing this to her since she held the whip in her hand in Mexico.
 

“Yes, I want it.”
 

I smile. I remove her clothes, followed by mine. With her laying on her stomach, I tie her arms to the posts of the bed with rope, but I leave her legs free. I lift her legs onto all fours and then kneel behind her with the whip in my hand.
 

“Ready?” I ask, rubbing her ass.
 

“Yes,” she breathes.
 

I let the whip come down on her ass. She whimpers, and I watch as her ass turns a bright shade of pink.
 

“That was—”
 

I don’t let her finish. I use the whip again on the other cheek. She squeals, and my cock twitches when I see her body react to me. I hit her again and see hot liquid dripping from her pussy down her leg. I whip her again and again until—

“Fuck, Killian,” she moans.
 

Then, I can’t take it any longer.
 

I thrust inside her, and she screams again. I thrust quickly, knowing that is how she likes it. I grab her breasts and hear her moans intensify.
 

“I’m going to—”
 

Then, she can’t speak, but I feel her clenching around me. It’s the fastest she has ever come, showing me how much being whipped and tied up turns her on. I thrust faster until I’m filling her with my cum.
 

After we come together, we both collapse, exhausted and content just to be together. After a few minutes, I feel her wiggling, trying to get out from under me, and I laugh.
 

“Hold on,” I say. I untie her hands and roll off her so that we are lying side by side.
 

She smiles at me. She looks so beautiful, so content, lying naked in our bed. I don’t think I will ever get used to the sight.
 

“What’s wrong?” she asks when she notices I don’t wear the same content smile that she does.
 

I take a deep breath before I speak, “I accepted a job today.”
 

“Really?” she asks excitedly, sitting up higher in bed.
 

“Yeah.”
 

“Well…what is it?”
 

I take another breath, not sure about how she is going to react. “I accepted an executive job with a hotel chain.”
 

Her smile brightens. “Really? That’s awesome. That job always suited you.”
 

“You don’t think it’s stupid, doing the same work I did for your family?”
 

“No. You were great at it. I don’t care what you do, as long as you are happy.”
 

I grab her neck and firmly kiss her, showing my appreciation. “You amaze me.”
 

I turn back to my nightstand and find the box that I bought after accepting the job and knowing how much money I will be making.
 

“I guess I can give you this then,” I say, opening the box.
 

Her mouth drops. “Killian, it’s beautiful!”
 

I smile and take the plastic ring off her finger. I replace it with the large princess cut ring. I go to throw the plastic ring away, but she snatches it back.
 

“You are not getting rid of that ring—ever,” she says sternly.
 

I smile. “Whatever you say, princess.”
 

“Does this mean we have enough money to start planning a wedding?”
 

“It does.”
 

She squeals again. “I need to call Scarlett. We need to get to planning right away if we want a shot at a spring wedding.”
 

She hops off the bed and begins walking away, mumbling to herself, but I don’t mind. The view of her naked ass is worth watching her walk away.
 

She pauses at the door and looks at me. “Now that we are no longer broke, does this mean, in a couple of months after the wedding, we can start trying for kids?”
 

I laugh. “Maybe.”
 

She smiles. “I’ll take that as a yes.”

Thank you so much for reading the Maybe series! If you enjoyed this book please consider leaving an honest review on Amazon. Reviews are invaluable to getting more readers and promotions. Thanks in advance for your review!
 

The Maybe series is the second series I have written. At the time when I was writing the Maybe series I had just published the first two books in my Aligned series and was dealing with many decisions about what I should do to succeed as a writer. Should I write a second series or a standalone? Should I do Facebook advertising to promote my series or do other promotions? What is the best way to advertise my books? What books should I give away for free and which should I charge for? What should my website look like? Should I put my books in the Kindle Unlimited program or go wide on all platforms? The list of decisions I had to make went on and on.

Usually I am a very decisive person when it comes to things I care about. And I really care about my writing, so I thought it would be easy to make all of these decisions. But it wasn't. I was suddenly faced with a million decisions and no idea how to make them. I never felt more indecisive in my life. I felt like whatever decision I made, it was the wrong one.

From that experience the character for Kinsley came about. I wanted to write what I was feeling at the time. So I wrote a very indecisive character that was naive and gullible and simply made too many wrong decisions in her life. That is where the inspiration for the Maybe series came from. From that I let Kinsley tell me her story and the rest of the story came to life.

I want to say thank you to everyone that helped make this book possible. I want to thank my husband for continuing to support me on this journey by being my everything. Technical computer support, beta reader, proofreader, shoulder to cry on, and encourager throughout this series. I couldn’t have done this without him.
 

I want to thank my editor Jovana for being awesome and pushing me to write better and stronger stories with less grammatical errors.
 

Thank you to my cover designer Sarah for designing the perfect covers to go with this series.
 

I must say thank you to my street team that has done an amazing job of helping me to promote this series. You guys love this series as much as I do and I’m so thankful to have found a tribe that will help support me and encourage me. You guys have really gone above and beyond by being my last set of eyes to make sure the final draft is as perfect as possible. You have emailed me countless times encouraging me to keep writing. And you have supported each release on social media. Thank you for everything you have done for me and for becoming part of my family. I couldn’t do this without you.
 

And most of all I want to thank you, my reader. I write for you. I’ll never be able to thank you enough for reading and supporting me. I’m forever grateful.
