“Blayne,
má lásko
.” Her back arched, pushing her breasts against me. “I need you.”

I could see now that the entire thing was held together with a series of clasps and I began to unfasten them, my mouth following along as her body was exposed, inch by inch. When I moved back up to cup her breasts and take a nipple in my mouth, she cried out, letting out another string of Czech words. I teased first one, then the other, until they were both hard little points and Katka was writhing beneath me. I slid down her body until I was between her legs, pushing at my own clothes so that by the time I settled into place, I was naked.

I pressed my mouth against the inside of her thigh, sucking the tender skin into my mouth until I left a mark. I rarely ever did that, and it usually only happened when I got carried away. I never wanted anyone to think I was staking some sort of claim or something. Except this time, I was. I wanted her to be mine. I didn't know what that meant exactly, in terms of the future, only that I wasn't thinking of a time when she wasn't with me.

“Blayne, please.” Her fingers curled in my hair. “I need you.”

I turned my attention from the bruise-like mark I'd left to the glistening flesh in front of me. I loved that I could make her so wet. When I ran the flat of my tongue across her, she made a pleased sound. I used my fingers to hold her open and began to explore as thoroughly as I'd done her mouth minutes before. She cried out as I teased her clit, circling the swollen bundle of nerves, then flicking across the top of it until she was begging me to let her come. I took her clit between my lips as I slid two fingers inside her.

Her hips jerked and I pressed my hand against her stomach to hold her in place as her body began to shake with pleasure. Her pussy contracted around my fingers and I worked with the muscles, twisting my fingers so that my knuckles rubbed against that spot inside her. She swore and the hand in my hair pulled hard enough to make my eyes water. I coaxed the orgasm to its highest point before removing my fingers and reaching for one of the condoms I'd put on the nightstand – the first thing I'd done when I came into the room.

I moved back up above her, but didn't enter her despite the near-painful throbbing of my cock. Instead, I stretched out next to her and waited for her to be coherent enough to hear what I was going to say. When she turned her head to look at me, I slid my hand over her arm, loving the feel of her skin under my palm.

“I need you to know something.” My stomach knotted. I'd never said this before and I was terrified to say it now, but I had to. She needed to understand before this went any further. “I know this whole thing between us started out in a really fucked up way, but I don't care about how we got here, only that we're here.” I wrapped one of her curls around my finger. “And that I'm falling in love with you.”

Her eyes widened and, for a moment, she looked like she was waiting for some sort of punchline, something to prove I didn't mean it. Then she turned towards me, her lips hard against mine. The passion in her kiss left me breathless and her own voice was faint when she spoke.

“I am falling in love with you, too.” She wrapped her arms around me, pulling me on top of her as she rolled onto her back. “Make love to me.”

I swallowed hard at her words. I'd fucked, had sex, slept with women, but I'd never made love, no matter how gentle the sex had been. As I slid inside her and felt our bodies come together in that most intimate of ways, I recognized the difference. I rocked my hips against her as she adjusted to me, waiting until she was ready before I began to move.

Her legs were around my waist, her nails digging into my shoulders, all the things that had happened before, but it wasn't the same. My eyes were locked with hers and I could see my own feelings reflected back at me. Our bodies moved together as well as they ever had, but there was a new purpose, a new goal. We weren't just chasing pleasure now. I was losing myself in her, losing where I ended and she began. And when we came together, the crash of pleasure seemed to join us even more fully. It wasn't the hardest I'd ever come, but it was like nothing I'd experienced before, as if everything I'd felt up to that point had been amateur hour and I'd just graduated to the big leagues. It was somehow more, and as I held Katka close, I knew I could never go back to being who I was. That man was gone. I didn't know who I was now, but I hoped it was someone better. Someone who could make all of this right, no matter the cost.

 

Chapter 2

Livie

I was such an idiot.

I usually prided myself on being not only intelligent, but also logical. I planned things out. Carefully considered every step of the way prior to making a move. I was methodical, if I chose the more polite word. Anal was the word my sister sometimes used. I didn't deny either one. I had no problem being the way I was. It had served me well over the years. I'd worked hard, never had anything handed to me. Every inch of progress I'd made, I'd taken it through determination and skill. If I hadn't been the kind of person who planned things out, I never would've made it this far. I probably wouldn't have even made it out of the Czech Republic.

And now, all of that was failing me.

I'd told myself that I couldn't feel anything but friendship for Blayne. Maybe a bit of fondness, but nothing more. I was happy he was with Katka. I figured if I told myself the lie enough, it would become the truth, especially since it wasn't entirely a lie. I was glad he was happy. I just wished he was happy with me.

I sighed and stared at the sketch I'd been trying to draw for the last twenty minutes. It was still a bunch of lines on a page and didn't resemble anything even remotely close to what was in my head. Except it really wasn't in my head and that was the problem. Every time I tried to get a picture of the dress I wanted, it shifted into lingerie similar to what Katka had asked me to design for her. Lingerie I knew she'd worn for Blayne. That sent me off on a whole new set of thoughts that had very little to do with clothes.

Worse, they weren't just sexual thoughts driven by the fact that I hadn't been able to get off in weeks. Every time I tried, I'd get close and things would just fall apart. I couldn't deny why anymore.

I'd fallen for him.

I wasn't ready to call it love and I was hoping it never got that far. What I felt was too strong as it was. I didn't need anything more.

I leaned back in my chair and tossed my sketchpad aside. I wasn't going to get anything done like this. I needed to clear my head. The problem was, I'd tried to distract myself before and it hadn't worked. While not the worst sex I'd ever had, the other night with Ty had been pretty bad, and I knew trying again wasn't going to do any good.

There was one option I hadn't tried yet because I knew it wasn't a smart idea. In fact, it was probably one of the dumbest things I could possibly do. Even if it cleared my head for a while, it would only make matters worse in the long run, which was why I hadn't done it yet. My resolve, however, was weakening.

I rubbed my eyes. I'd been trying to work on this for the past couple hours and had gotten nowhere. I was supposed to have at least six new designs drawn out and ready to be started by next week when I made my final pitch for a business loan. The bank wasn't requiring them, but I was. I wanted to assure them that I was capable of providing the volume of designs needed to maintain a business.

If I couldn't think, I couldn't do my work. And I needed to do my work.

A little voice in the back of my head told me that I was justifying what I'd been wanting to do for a while, but I didn't listen to it. I was tired. Tired of always being good and doing the right thing. Even I needed to relax sometimes.

I closed my eyes and didn't try to stop the thoughts this time. I let myself wonder what it must be like to have sex with Blayne. How it must feel to have him look at me with something other than friendship and admiration. What would his storm gray eyes look like, filled with love and desire?

I unsnapped the top button of my pants and slid my hand beneath the waistband of my pants and panties. Thinking about Blayne already had me heating up, and I wasn't surprised when I slipped a finger between my folds and found my skin already slick.

I thought of how his hands would feel as they moved across my bare skin. The heat of them. The gentle pressure as he caressed my breasts. As I played with my nipple through my shirt and bra, I imagined it was him, his fingers manipulating my flesh. When I rubbed my fingers across my clit, I saw him between my legs, his hand sending ripples of pleasure through my body.

Was he a tender lover or did he prefer a rougher touch? If it had been his fingers sliding inside me, would he move slowly, gently stretching me? I bent my fingers and found that spot inside me that made my muscles tremble. With as many lovers as Blayne'd had over the years, I had no doubt he knew exactly how to find that place too. Would he tease me with it, I wondered, or go straight for it, making my eyes roll back and my body quake?

I pressed the heel of my hand against my clit and began to imagine that it wasn't Blayne's fingers inside me, but something thicker, longer. I had never seen Blayne naked, but I knew the human body well enough to guess what was underneath. And I had no doubt that he knew how to use it.

“Ah.” A little gasp escaped me as I thought about what it would feel like to have him thrust into me, drive me towards an orgasm that I'd never forget. I could feel the pressure inside me building. I knew it wouldn't be as good as what he could do to me –for me – but I would get there this time.

A twist of my fingers. The thought of him over me, looking down at me. Pressure on my clit. The feel of his lips against mine.

Liv
...

It was the memory of him shortening my name, a nickname I never allowed anyone to use, that made me come with a shout and a shudder. Pleasure coursed through me and I rode it out, all the while hearing him saying my name.

Liv. My Liv.

I slumped back in my chair, face flushed.

Fuck.

What had I done?

 

Chapter 3

Blayne

I knew I looked like an idiot, but I couldn't stop grinning. My weekend with Katka had been amazing. I'd worried that the more time I spent with her, the more I'd realize I really couldn't be with only one woman. I'd never spent that much time with a single woman and not been desperate to get away from her. With Katka, however, I hadn't wanted to say good-bye at the train station. I'd wanted to take her back to New York where we could be out from underneath my father's eyes. Maybe go further, somewhere he could never reach us.

While I'd immensely enjoyed the time we'd spent in our hotel room, both the sex and the time we'd spent lounging in bed talking, I'd also loved being able to take Katka out. Holding her hand in the small, romantic corner of a restaurant. I wanted that for us now more than ever. Maybe, I thought, it was time to talk to Katka again about telling Livie about us. While it wouldn't be the same as being able to claim Katka in public, it would be almost as good. Livie would work with us, I knew, to give my Kat and me at least some freedom at home.

I was still trying to figure out the best way to broach the subject when I got the call.

“Blayne.”

My father's voice was unmistakable.

“You and Livie will join the family this Friday night.”

Well, so much for pleasantries. Or asking.

“Hi, Dad,” I said amicably. “Nice to hear from you. How are you?”

He sighed, a weary sound I'd grown quite used to over the years. “I see that being married and having a good job hasn't made you any less tedious.”

I grinned. I wasn't going to let my father get to me. Not after the great weekend I'd had.

“Anyway,” he continued. “We're having dinner at the house at six. Be there at five thirty. None of this fashionably late stuff you like to pull.”

“No problem,” I said. “I just have to check with Livie and make sure she's not busy.”

“She's your wife.” His voice was flat. “I wasn't aware that checking with her was necessary.”

A flare of annoyance went through me. It didn't matter if our marriage was real or not, I'd never be that assumptive. “Well, Dad, not everyone has your archaic views of marriage where the woman has to plan her entire life around her husband.” As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted them.

There was silence for almost a full minute before he spoke, “I'm sure that if she knows how important family is to us, she'll make an effort to be there. If she doesn't care that much, then maybe I need to look a little more closely at your relationship.”

“Wow, Dad.” I made my tone as dry as possible. “You're really going to pull that out whenever you don't like what I do, aren't you? Look as close as you want. There's nothing to see.”

“Then I guess I'll see you and your wife on Friday.”

“We'll be there,” I said. “As long as Livie hasn't planned something.”

I could sense my father's disapproval, but neither of us commented on it. His call had dimmed my good mood a bit, especially since I'd been hoping to see Katka Friday night. At least with Livie, time with my family wasn't completely unbearable. I did enjoy the time she and I spent together.

Livie wasn't home when I got there, but I waited up for her to ask about Friday night. I didn't want to risk her planning something and having to explain to my father why she wasn't there.
