Spin My Love (My Love #1)(41)

“I did,” he replies. “You don’t need to make a big deal out of it. You know I’m not hurting for money.”

“That’s beside the point, Tane!” I reply. I can’t believe he did this. It’s a nice, generous gesture, but a little over the top. Also, he should have spoken to me about it before he did it. Before he came back into our lives, I did everything myself and made all my own decisions for Parker and me. I’m not sure how I feel about this sudden loss of control.

“Giselle—”

“This is very generous but it’s too much,” I tell him, shaking my head. “How am I supposed to accept this?”

His eyes narrow on me. “This is why I wanted to surprise you. I knew you would be stubborn about it.”

“So you knew I would have an issue with it but you still did it anyway?” I ask, placing a hand on my hip.

“I hoped that in time you would realise that I was trying to do something nice for you,” he says after a long pause. “I’m not going to live here and not pay anything.”

I roll my eyes. “No need to be dramatic. Contributing is one thing; paying off an entire mortgage is another!”

“Are you arguing just for the sake of it?” he asks, crossing his arms over his chest.

Am I? I have no mortgage anymore. I don’t know whether to jump for joy or strangle him.

His eyes crinkle. “Is the fight over now? Can we make up?”

I laugh at his hopeful expression. “What did you have in mind?”

His eyes darken at my sultry tone. “You on the kitchen table? My face between your legs?”

My eyes widen at his dirty talk. “If you want me, Tane Miller, you’re going to have to catch me.”

I bolt through the hallway before I even finish the sentence. He catches me before I hit our bedroom, lifts me in the air and throws me over his shoulder like I weigh nothing. He slaps my ass, the sound echoing through the silence. Depositing me on our bed, he lifts up my skirt and pulls down my red panties without saying a word. Then, without further ado, his mouth is on me, licking and teasing until I come apart. His pants are off and then he’s sliding into me before his lips capture mine, his tongue synchronising with his pelvic thrusts. I lift my hips up, silently begging for more. He rolls over, still inside me, leaving me straddling him. I get to work instantly, lifting and lowering my hips, taking from him just what I need. I lean my hands back on his hard thighs and let my head fall back, closing my eyes and losing myself in the moment. His thumb finds my sweet spot, and I come instantly, my hips jerking violently.

“Fuck, f*ck, f*ck.” I mutter over and over. When the orgasm subsides, I fall onto his chest and smile.

“I’m not done with you yet,” he growls, flipping me onto my back, and then onto my stomach. He lifts my hips up and slides back into my wetness. I moan into the mattress. Too much, but yet not enough. I thrust back against him a few times until he comes, moaning my name. He gently pulls out and rolls onto his back, taking me with him.

We’re silent for a few moments, both getting our breath back.

“That was amazing,” I tell him, placing a kiss on his chest.

He gives me a slow-spreading smile in return. “You’re amazing.”

“I love you,” we say to each other at the same time.

Tane kisses me on the nose. “Thank you for giving me a chance to be this happy.”

“Thank you for earning it,” I reply. We stay in bed for about half an hour, just talking and playing around, then I slide out of bed and have a quick shower. Parker is with Gage for the night, so Tane and I have all night with each other.

I gasp when the shower-screen suddenly opens, and a very naked Tane walks in. “Mind if I join you?”

“Not at all,” I whisper as he pushes me back against the shower wall.

Not at f*cking all.

Grabbing the belt loop of my jeans, Tane pulls me to him. “Where do you think you’re going?”

“I have to get changed and then head to the gym for kickboxing,” I explain a few days later.

“Am I not giving you enough workouts in the bedroom?” he jokes, his grin showing off his straight white teeth.

“No, you’re not, maybe you need to work harder,” I tell him in a sweet tone.

“I’ll remember that tonight,” he replies in a low rumble.

I lick my lips. “And I’ll be looking forward to it.”

“Can I come with you?” he asks in between kisses.

I smile against his mouth. “Sure. We have two hours until Parker needs to be picked up.”

“Okay, let’s get changed,” he says, pulling away from me.

I miss him instantly.

We dress quickly, and I have to admit that Tane looks ridiculously good in his gym gear. The shorts are loose but the top is fitted, and my mouth goes dry looking at him. I strengthen my resolve and turn away, locking the house up before we both go outside and jump into Tane’s car.

The gym is packed out, like it usually is. I head for the treadmill while Tane hits the weights. I’m just working up a sweat when Greg pops up in front of me.

“Hey, beautiful,” he says in greeting. “Haven’t seen you in a while.”

“Been busy,” I reply, forcing a small smile. I turn the treadmill setting to a low, walking speed. “How have you been?”
