From Sanctum with Love (Masters and Mercenaries #10)(126)

His cock pounded inside her. The ropes held her tight, but her whole body moved as he manipulated her. It was like getting f*cked on a wave or on the wind. She was light and fluid and Kai tethered her, giving her pleasure and stability.

She watched as he f*cked his way deep inside her, easing her up. He held the rope away from his cock as he thrust in and out, dragging her back every time. He angled up and brought his thumb down on her clit and she went sailing.

Vaguely she heard Kai call out her name as he held himself hard against her body, but her own pleasure seemed to never end. He kept up the pressure and she could feel herself clamping down, the vibrations sending her deeper.

Finally she relaxed back, completely spent.

Kai stayed inside her, a crazy sexy smile on his face. “Stay here. I’ll be right back. Like I said, I’m not even close to being done. You have no idea what I have in store for you.”

He stepped away, kicking his slacks off and easing the condom from his cock. She watched as that beautiful backside moved back to the prep area.

Where did he think she would go? She was caught and by way more than his rope.

When he turned with a flogger in his hand, she couldn’t do anything but smile.

“Let’s have some fun, baby,” Kai said.

She could use some of that. Kori floated in his rope and let her Master take her where only he could.





CHAPTER NINETEEN





Six months later



Kai held his wife’s hand as they walked down the hall toward the hospital room that was their destination. Their fingers threaded together and he could feel the ring he’d placed on her finger only three weeks before. To his surprise his wife had demanded and gotten her white wedding, complete with a church full of flowers and their hobbled together family around them.

The only thing she hadn’t gotten was Jared to attend. The day after Squirrel was killed, Jared had dropped out of the movie and left for Canada. He’d spoken to Kai briefly only to say he needed time and space and he’d call when he was ready.

Kai was back to watching his brother’s life play out in magazines and on television. At least Jared was still working on his TV show. He had that stability, but Kai knew his brother also had new demons to face.

“Hey, you two,” a familiar voice said. Case Taggart was walking out of Erin’s room, stretching his big body. “I thought you were coming up here later.”

Kori stopped. “Erin texted and asked me to bring her something for TJ to wear home. She’s getting out of here tonight I heard.”

“Yeah, Doc said the delivery went well. It sounded brutal to me.” Case went a little pale. “I don’t understand how she can scream and curse my brother’s name one minute and then be crying with joy the next. I’m so happy I’m a dude. Not that I’m ever planning on procreating, but at least we only have to do the fun part.”

“Wait until you’ve changed a couple of diapers,” Kori said. She went up on her toes and brushed a kiss across Kai’s lips. “I’m going to play with a baby. Pretty soon my writing partner will have a new one. It’s awesome because I don’t have to have one of my own. Winning.”

She flashed him a thumbs-up sign as she disappeared into the room with her stash of baby clothes and diapers.

“So now Serena’s her writing partner?” Case yawned behind his hand.

“They’re doing the screenplay for the next movie. Love After Death did shockingly well at the box office. Who knew so many women want to see that kind of stuff on screen. I have to admit, it was pretty fun.” And hot. It helped that it wasn’t his brother’s ass on display. That made it much easier to take, but the whole while he watched the film he couldn’t help but think Jared’s version of Big Tag had been better. “So Ship of Passion is going into production. I wonder if Damon’s going to be more self-aware than Tag.”

Kori and Serena were forming their own production company. They were taking it easy while Serena was pregnant, but they had plans for bringing their favorite romance novels to the big and small screen. His wife had dreams and he was going to love watching her fly.

Case shook his head. “Yeah, my brother’s smarter than that. I don’t buy his act one bit. He just doesn’t want anyone to know that he loves watching himself on screen. Even when he’s played by another dude. I swear after the film he talked about how anyone who played Pierce Craig should be bigger than that actor, more muscular. He was practically preening. I wanted to punch him. All I could think about the whole time was how much Theo would have loved that shit. He would have gotten a kick out of it.”

Kai looked around to make sure the door was closed. “Any news on that front?”

He was out of the action loop now that he’d done his job. He was back in the role he preferred, prepping to help heal. He’d spent the last six months studying the effects of memory loss and Stockholm syndrome. He wanted to be ready if Theo came home. He’d also spent time studying their new partners. The Lawless clan was f*cked up, but they seemed to fit with Big Tag. The brothers had been working with a select group of McKay-Taggart operatives, but it seemed like Mia was out of the picture. While Drew, Riley, and Bran had shown up from time to time, Mia hadn’t been seen since she left about a week after that terrible day.

And Case never mentioned her again.
