Weekend With Her Bachelor (Bachelor Auction Returns Book 4) (13 page)

But Ally seemed to have another idea, as she scooted out from under him, kneeling and waiting for him. She looked like a goddess with her full breasts, gorgeous curves, and long hair curling down to her waist. There was magic between them all right, and it was all her.

Staring at her, he had no idea what she was up to. “Ally, get back here.”

“Hmmm. Make me.”

It wasn’t hard. His hand shot around her, and coming down flat on her back, he hauled her back to him. “Now, I have something I have to do.”

“Gavin. Come on. Please.”

Separating her legs with his hands, Gavin looked up into Ally’s face. She was sitting against the headboard, a combination of apprehensive and eager, and she could see exactly what he was doing. Gavin had every intention of blowing her mind. He didn’t go in with his mouth, but with his fingers. He stroked and teased, watching her body respond.

She was warm and wet, and his finger had no trouble slipping inside her. The penetration surprised her, but the little turn of her lips let him know she was just fine.

Taking advantage, a second finger went in and he worked them, teasing her unfairly. Her hips moved slowly in a steady rhythm, allowing, and when Gavin withdrew his hand, he pressed her knees apart and started assaulting her with his mouth.

He licked her warm folds, sucked her, nibbled, and teased, but no how much she begged and cried out, he kept it up. She was amazing. “Oh, Gavin!”

Gavin’s dick was so hard he thought he might explode. Moving back up her body, the tip teased her, and with each drop of wetness, he was closer to being very embarrassed.

Her hands came down and gripped his hips, bringing him closer. They were both on the edge, and the thought of coming with her wrapped around him proved to be the breaking point. Gavin started to enter her.

“I need you inside me,” she begged.

He pushed deeper, seating himself a little at a time. She was tight and wet, but considering the blissful smile on her face and the mischief in her eyes, Ally was doing just fine.

“God,” she cried out. “More, Gavin.”

“I could hurt you.”

“You won’t…” Ally stroked his face with such tenderness. “I know you won’t.”

With her legs wrapped around him, her hips thrusting so hard, he couldn’t hold back. Finally, Gavin drove into her, making love to the amazing woman he was destined to be with.

“Ally.” She consumed him, body and soul. Made his mind cloud and his heart feel full. There was a primal need overwhelming him, basic and proprietary. Ally was his woman. His match. His mate.

Moving, they instantly caught the other’s rhythm, their bodies in perfect sync. Fearing he might crush her, Gavin slipped his hands under her back and rolled them, so she was on top. Ally lifted her head and smiled.

“Smooth move, Clark,” she teased.

“I got a million of ’em.”

It was Ally’s turn to take control. Straddling him, she started to move. Gavin gripped her hips to steady her as she caught a wave of sensation and brought them both to the edge. Her face was content, beautiful, and her body was lush, soft, warm… a woman’s body. The body of a woman who could be the mother of his children. A woman he wanted to grow old with.

The fever between them built, with Ally moving harder and faster, her eyes closed, her head thrown back from the sensations. Gavin felt the tightness in his groin, the wave as nerve endings fired. He was trying to hold on until she came…

And then she did. Crying out, arching, Gavin finally let go, emptying himself in her. She contracted around him, milking him. Her body, her heart, her soul owned him.

Ally collapsed on his chest, their bodies sticking together, out of breath and shuddering with aftershocks.

“Christ,” was the only thing he was able to utter.

“Mmmm.” She was purring like a kitten. “That was amazing. You’re amazing.”

“Jesus, we’re really good together.” Knowing that now was going to make parting even more difficult. But there was something else on his mind as he thought about cleaning up. “I didn’t use anything,” he said quietly.

Eyes wide, she stared at him. “Damn.”

“I mean, I’m sure it’s fine. You’re on the pill, aren’t you?”

Rolling off of him, Ally laid next to him on the bed. “I’ve been off for about six months. Wanted to give my body a break.”

“Ah. Okay.” He paused. She could be… “We should be fine, right?”

“You’re the doctor. You tell me.”

Ally rose, heading straight to the bathroom, and if he didn’t know her better he would have sworn she slammed the door.

No, she did slam the door.

That made perfect sense. Have mind-blowing sex. Get pissed off.

“Ally?” No answer. “Ally? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Nothing
. That was right up there with
fine.

“Baby, toss me a towel, okay?”

A minute went by when she finally opened the door. As she stormed by, makeup reapplied, hair fixed, she threw a towel right in his face. When she went for her bra and panties, Gavin grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into bed.

“Tell me what’s wrong.”

She struggled as he pinned her to the mattress. “You have no right to do this to me. Let me up!”

“Not until you tell me what’s set you off.”

She turned her head to the side, angry and proud. He couldn’t resist kissing her long, lovely neck. “Tell me.”

“No.” Her voice came out on a breath.

“I can’t apologize and mean it if you don’t tell me.” He kept kissing her, moving to her collarbone. “Please tell me.”

Trailing his lips in a line down her chest, Gavin traveled between her breasts while he laced his fingers with hers. She wasn’t struggling anymore. Instead, her body was moving under the attention he was giving her, inviting him back into her warmth.

“I wouldn’t try to trap you,” she said so softly he could barely hear.

“Oh, Ally. I know that. If anything happens, we’re in this together.”

Freeing her hands, Ally brought her fingers to his cheeks and guided his mouth to hers. This kiss was sweet, loving, beautiful. It was the kiss a future was built upon. Feeling her legs wrap around his waist, Gavin slipped inside her.

There was nothing frantic or urgent about coming together this time, this was him making love to his best friend. The girl—
the woman
—who had the power to change his life.

“S
o who are
the bride and groom?” Gavin asked.

Ally tilted her head to far side of the dining room, where a round table was filled with all her friends from Seattle. “Cindy and Rajiv. They’re in the corner. Cindy is a nurse practitioner and Raj is a software developer. They’re really adorable together.”

She saw Lars at the table, and held Gavin’s hand even tighter. They were the last ones in for breakfast, and considering the two amazing orgasms he’d given her, Ally was amazed she hadn’t fallen right to sleep.

“Is that Olaf’s shield maiden?”

Gavin hadn’t given up on Lars’ nickname, and Ally had to admit, it was funny. Next to him was Jasmina, the woman with whom he’d cheated. Thin and willowy, with super-short blonde hair, Ally still got angry looking at her. The only thing in front of her was an apple and a bottle of water. “Yup. That’s her.”

“She looks unhappy.”

“I think she’s unimpressed. Can’t be bothered.”

Gavin spun her into his arms and kissed her soundly. “Maybe that will impress her.”

“Hmm.” Ally kissed him again. “I don’t know about her, but it sure impresses me.”

He smiled and the entire room just lit up. Talk about blindsided. With Gavin around, Ally felt like a teenager again. Only better.

Walking through the busy dining room, Ally and Gavin almost tripped over a little boy who was racing around the tables at light speed. He might have been three years old.

Gavin did what came naturally and scooped the little guy up just before he took out an elderly gentleman with a cane.

“Hey there, buddy. You can’t go running around tables like that, you’ll get yourself hurt.”

“Hey! Hey you! Give me my son.” A petite brunette charged Gavin and yanked the child out of his arms. “Who do you think you are, snatching him up like that? He doesn’t know you.”

“I’m sorry, ma’am, but I was trying to keep him from getting hurt.”

“I was watching. He was fine.”

“Oh, you were?” Gavin raised an eyebrow, but realized quickly the woman wasn’t going to listen. “All right then.”

Ally was stunned at the woman’s rude behavior. “Ma’am, are you a wedding guest?”

“Yes. I work with Raj.” She didn’t introduce herself; obviously she was too important for that.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Ally Beaumont, the event planner.”

Brunette put her child down and he took off like a shot. This kid was a toddling lawsuit. “I hope the other guests have a better understanding of limits,” she snapped.

But before Ally could tell her to keep her little boy under control, there was a loud crash and a scream. Wonderboy had made impact.

“Jace! Oh, no.” Brunette went screaming at a server who was sitting on the floor, food everywhere, and the toddler was crying hysterically. Gavin was at the boy’s side before anyone else was close. “You idiot! What did you do to my son?”

Ignoring the mother’s screeching, Gavin eased the little boy onto his back. “Hey, pal. What happened?”

All Ally heard was a blood-curdling scream. Then the kid’s mother started alternately berating Gavin and the server, who was being tended to by his boss.

“Ally, I need ice, a few soft towels and some gauze.” Gavin was calmly assessing the child while chaos surrounded him. This was what he did. Who he was.

Simply put, he was amazing.

Lars had walked over and folded his arms, his usual arrogant stance. “Hey, Cowboy. Shouldn’t you wait for the professionals to take care of the kid?”

Gavin rolled his eyes and ignored Lars, paying attention to young Jace instead.

“Lars, don’t worry your little head. Gavin is a doctor,” Ally responded before turning to the mother, who was enraged. “He’s an emergency physician. Your son is in good hands.” She almost said something snotty about the mother not watching the child, but didn’t think she should add fuel to the fire. Although it was tempting. The woman was not a nice person.

Cindy had gone to help the server, who had a few cuts that needed cleaning, and by the time the ambulance arrived, the wounds and injuries had been tended to. Jace was splinted with some plush towels, and the server was going to be fine but needed to be checked at the ER.

The screaming mother was quiet, but didn’t say thank you. Lars had been put in his place, and Ally couldn’t have been more proud of Gavin, or more proud to be with him. It was one thing to know what he did; it was another to see him in action. Most beautiful was the way he handled the little boy.

He’d be a great father someday.

Once the commotion settled down, Cindy, the bride, sidled up to Ally gave her a poke in the ribs. “He’s fantastic,” she said referring to Gavin. “What a doll.”

“He really is.”

“Lars is dying over there; he’s so jealous. Jasmina hasn’t given him the time of day and you’re with Dr. All-American Boy.”

“I’m just trying to be happy. Lars isn’t a consideration.” God. Ally was going to go to hell for the lies she was telling. She was thrilled Lars was bothered. Although, since things had changed between her and Gavin, maybe she wasn’t lying quite so much.

Gavin came up behind her and took her hand like he had every right. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the bride, he led her to a corner table that had been set with a basket of warm muffins and a pot of hot coffee.

Once seated, Gavin scanned the menu. “I’m starved.”

She nodded, unable to speak, because she realized she had a big problem where he was concerned. How would she manage without him? She didn’t want to find out, but could they have a future?

“Me too.” She paused and looked up at him. “You were great with Jace. Really.”

“He’s a cute kid, but he’s out of control. Mom was telling me they’ve banned the word ‘no’ so he doesn’t feel stifled.”

“He’s just a little boy.” Ally couldn’t believe it.

“I told her an occasional ‘no’ isn’t going to stifle anything and will keep him safe. He’s too young to have control. She wasn’t having any of it.”

“Well, you did your part. That’s all you can do.”

He nodded. They ordered a huge farm breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon, and Ally settled back in her seat with her coffee to watch the world go by.

“I… I like kids,” Gavin stammered.

His statement came out of the blue. She never doubted that he liked kids, so she wondered what drove him to mention it. Jace, possibly, but she had the feeling there was something else. “Okay. Me too.”

“If you were, you know, pregnant, I think we’d be okay. Once we decided on where we’d live.”

Where they would live? Ally was overwhelmed and thrilled at the same time. He was offering marriage if their carelessness produced a child. It wasn’t even a question. Maybe the independent woman in her should be offended, but she wasn’t. She just loved him a little more.

“Gavin, chances are nothing is going to happen. I love that you’re trying to reassure me, but I don’t think we’re going to have to worry about it.”

“You’re right,” he said on a nervous laugh. “I know that, but I guess I was thinking that I wouldn’t mind it so much. You know, having a baby. With you.” His big hand took hold of hers. “I have no idea what made me say that. I’m sorry.”

What happened to the quiet, staid alpha guy? The strong, silent type? “You’re confusing me. That’s all.”

The waiter placed their overflowing breakfasts in front of them. It all looked really good.

“I’m sure. I don’t know what made me say that. I guess… I don’t know.”

“Who knows why we say certain things.” She poked at her eggs. “It’s a nice thought, though. Being parents.”

“Yeah. It is.”
