Chapter 22
[Quinn)
No matter how hard I try, I just can’t seem to fall asleep. Images from the photo album Annora gave me for my birthday keep flashing through my mind. Grace as a baby on holidays, vacations, or anytime Annora felt like snapping a picture. Which, by the looks of it, was all the time. Then there were the toddler years with much of the same.
Annora told me she also has home videos she had copies downloaded on a hard drive for me. We was already past one in the morning when we finished going through the pictures.
get to watch any of them since it
I escorted her to the guest room down the hall from Grace’s room. It took all my willpower to walk away from her. Between the wine we had at dinner, what he had while she shared stories about ench picture, I knew that I could have my way with her right then and there. So, I kissed her on the forehead, then made my way to my room upstairs.
Now here I lay, eyes wide open, mind going a mile a minute. The love of my life and our child are one floor below me right now. Yet, I lay in my bed alone. There has been no one else in this bed but me. Now I want only one woman spread out before me on its silk sheets.
Annora’s auburn hairs framed around her head like a halo would stand out against all that black. Her pale skin would practically glow against the darkness of my bed. Thinking about it has my c**k hardening painfully. Normally 1 sleep naked, but on the nights that Grace is here, I sleep in pajama pants,
I suddenly sit up in bed, my entire body on alert as I hear a soft sound right outside my door. Then there is a light tap on the door followed by Annora’s voice asking if I am awake. Disbelief at what I am hearing makes me get out of bed to see if I am hearing correctly. I have dreamed of this so many times over the last six months. Not of her coming to my room like this, but just of her coming to me, wit need in her voice.
Getting out of bed, I walk on silent feet across the thick carpet to open the door. Annora is standing right outside my door in the t-shirt ! let her borrow to sleep in. It hangs down to her knees and the top hangs off one of her shoulders. Desire to claim her in every way sings through my blood.
“Are you alright?” ask.
“I can’t sleep.”
With a step back, I motion for her to come in. The only light in the room is the pale light of the moon as it shines through the parted curtains. Please let her be here to tell me she has made her choice. I am not sure how much more of this torture I can take.
“What is keeping you awake?” I ask her.
“Seeing that you are awake too, I could ask you the same question.”
“Annie, tonight is a terrible night to play games with me,”
To my further surprise, she closes the door behind her, then steps in front of me with her face tilted up to look at me. There is a storm of emotion in her eyes.
“Why not?”
“Like I told you this morning. One day, you are going to have to decide whether you want to keep playing this game of hungry eyes or act on these feelings and the desire between us. Have you done that yet?”
In answer to my question, she wraps her arms around my neck, then gives a little hop. This causes me to catch her around the waist to keep from toppling over, As I do, she wraps her legs around me. If that isn’t enough of an answer, I don’t know what is. However, I need to -bear the words, so I pull my face back when she leans up for a kiss.
“Say the words, Annie. I won’t go any further until you do.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“We have been on this path since we were eighteen. I was wrong to put up these walls between us. I need you. All of you.”
us than our daughter.
Once we do this, there will be no going back to the way it was before. I won’t walk away again. There is more to us t Can you handle that?”
“I don’t want to be apart from you anymore.”
This time, I allow her to kiss me. Our mouths fuse together in a heated kiss that sets my blood on fire. My hands find the bare skin of her hips, kneading her flesh as I back her towards the door. Her nails graze my scalp as I move my mouth to her throat.
The moan that escapes her mouth encourages me to go lower until my teeth graze her collarbone. Pinning her to the door with my lower body, I grip the hem of the t-shirt she is wearing, then peel it up and over her head. With my other hand, I remove her hands from behind my head, then pin them to the door above her.
Thrusting my hips into her, I grind my erection against her care. A throaty moan tears from her lips as the friction I create gives her pleasure. I recapture her lips, nibbling at her lower lip until she opens her mouth to allow my tongue to slip inside. The fire that erupts between is instantaneous.
Soon, Annora is squirming to get her hands free. I let them go only so I can grip her *** with both hands. With a growl, 1 spin us around, move swiftly to my bed, then toss her on her back. Before she recovers, I follow her down to the bed. With her legs open, l’stand on my knees between them and just stare down at her.
The two **ale mounds of her breast, bare to my gaze, are just calling to be touched. I palm both breasts, then graze my thumbs over her nipples. Annora arches her back, bringing them further into my touch. To please myself, I lean down and flick my tongue over one of the rosy pink peaks. She rewards me with another throaty moan.
“Oh god, Quinn, I need you now.”
“So greedy, my love.”
Ignoring her plea, I give her other breast the same treatment before I lick, kiss, and nibble my way down her body. When I reach her core, I blow my hot breath over the lace panties she is still wearing. The shudder that racks her body encourages me to continue. With my thumb, I move the lace to the side, then graze over her once before I press harder against her**is. With circular motions, I rub my thumb over it until she is whimpering with need.
Unable to hold back anymore, I slip her panties over her hips, down her legs, then throw them behind me somewhere. I glance up at her and see that she is staring at me. The naked desire in her eyes makes my c**k swell more. The need to bury myself deep in her is strong. but I want to hear her beg for it more.
I watch her eyes as I flick my tongue over he***. Her mouth drops open as her lower body presses upward towards me. With that obvious invitation, I close my mouth over her. My tongue fluttering around her*t in quick movements while I thrust two fingers into her.com Soon, her body jerks against my face as her o**sm rips through her. I wipe my mouth on her inner thigh, then shimpy thy pants off.
Unlike the last time in her office, I reach over to my nightstand for a condom. I roll the condom op, then just stare down at her. She is so** beautiful spread out on my bed. “Are you sure, Annie?”
Make love to me, Quinn.”
I slip inside slowly. With slow erotic movements, we dance together on the silk sheets. Annora’s legs wrap around my waist, her arms up under mine as she holds me tight against her, and I bury my face in the crook of her neck. Her quiet moans of pleasure my ears as we rock against each other.
My head lifts in time to watch her eyes go wide in wonder as she crests the peak of o**sm. I lean down to kiss ber gently as our bodies continue to move together. Something in my soul breaks wide open as she brings her hands up to stroke my cheek, a deep’chilm settles in my heart as we make love.

This is a calmness that I haven’t felt since the last time we were together. Twelve long years ago. I am in so much trouble with her. This woman is my undoing, and now she knows it. I will love falling for her all over again.
(The next morning)
My eyes pop open after I roll over to pull Annora against me. Her spot beside me is empty and has been for some time by the way it no longer holds her warmth. Fear **es through me after the events of last night. Did she regret what we did when the sun came up?
No, du**she probably just went to check on Grace. Quit jumping to conclusions, Relax and enjoy the good without expecting the bad, I tell myself as I get out of bed. After locating my pajama pants, I smile when I spot Annora’s lacy panties hanging off the comer of my dresser.
Wherever she is now, she has no panties on. That thought causes memories of everything we did to each other last night to run through my head. Now, all I want to do is find her and do more. Only the knowledge that Grace is here with us makes me clear that thought from my head.
With a smile on my face, I head down the stairs to check in Grace. It is still earlier than she normally wakes up when she stays with me. That will give
Annora and me some time to talk, or not talk at all, if I have my way. After I am satisfied that Grace is still asleep, I head downstairs to the ground floor of my penthouse.
The smell of bacon cooking makes me veer off towards the kitchen. The sight that greets me when I step around the glass block wall takes my breath away. Annora is at the stove, her hips are swaying to the jazz pumping softly out of the built-in speakers as she cooks breakfast. There is a covered plate on the island counter behind her. Next to it is the syrup, so I can only assume she made pancakes, too.
Silently, as they trained me to do in the Army, I creep up on her slowly. When I am right behind her, my hands snake around hips then press flat against her stomach to pull her back into my chest. The cry of surprise she lets out is instantaneous, but she relaxes in my arms just as fast.
Leaning down, I whisper softly into her ear. “I found your panties, Annie. That means you are naked under my shirt.”
Annora shivers, then spins around in my arms. “What are you going to do about it?”
“Oh, there are many things I can do to you right here in this kitchen.” My hands glide down her back to cup her a** then I move the shirt up enough so I can give her bare cheeks a smack.
Lust shines in her eyes as she leans up to kiss me. Removing the tongs from her hand, I flick the burner off with my other hand, dropping the tongs on the counter. Then turn her around, lift her up to sit her on the island counter. With her legs spread for me, I step closer to her, then grind my raging erection against her bare p**y.
Her moan is music to my ears. I laugh when she covers her mouth with her hand, then looks toward the stairs. The blush on her cheeks makes me grind against her again.
“Every room in this penthouse is soundproof except for the living room and kitchen. She can’t hear us unless she comes down here. Grace was sound asleep when I checked on her.”
“Quinn,” she moans for me when I slip my hand between us to stroke her*t. “I don’t want her to see us like this.”
She want. I promise. Baby, relax.”
“Oh g**d, hurry Quinn,” Annora’s voice is thick with desire as she wraps her arms around my neck.
Swifty, I lower my pants, then guide my **k to her wet core. With my dyes on hers, I slip slowly inside her. “Oh, f**k. You are to tight
Annora wraps her legs around my waist, then leans back on her elbows With one hand, I push her shirt up high jo reveal her breasts,
Leaning down, I take one of her nipples into my mouth. Soon I am thrusting into her hard and fast. Wet slaps of my flesh connecting with hers, her soft moans, and my heavy breathing echo off the black-tiled walls of my kitchen.
Delicious pain slices through me as Annora rakes her nails down my back as she comes for me. I follow her into the oblivion of pleasure few thrusts later. With a breathless sigh, I lower my head to rest my forehead against hers. Her hands draw lazy circles up and down my back as we both calm our breathing-
Reluctantly, I pull free of her body and pull my pants back up. Annora slides off the counter, then pulls the t-shirt down. The way she covers her face with her hair makes me place my hand under her chin to make her look up at me. The flush on her face gives my ego
boost.
“I think a shower then getting dressed in my own clothes is a good idea. She says with a smile.
Thoughts of pinning her against the marble tiles of my shower flashed through my mind. Annora laughs as if she guessed my thoughts. With a shake of her head, she dashes out of the kitchen. I can’t believe that I just f***d her on my kitchen counter. I can, but it feels like a dream. Something I have pictured before, but I never imagined it would happen.
At the sound of my doorbell, my head turns toward the entrance hallway. Who the hell could that be? Aaron knows I brought Annie and Grace back here last night, so I doubt it will be him. With a frown, I make my way to the door.
The face I see when I open the door causes me to see red. Dionne stands in the hallway with a smirk on her face. When she sees my naked chest, I swear lust shines in her eyes. Raw, blinding rage is all I feel for this woman.
“How the f**k did you find where I live?”

I appreciate that the story line never has Grace walking in when they are having sex. I thank the writer for a great story line
