Claiming Sarah (Ace Security #5)(59)

She remembered everything that had happened the night before. What she’d told the group and how she’d admitted that she wouldn’t mind if she got pregnant right away. Cole hadn’t been mad that she’d wanted kids. In fact, he’d been so turned on, he’d fucked her the second they’d gotten into his apartment.

And not only that . . . Sarah moved her legs and felt the dampness between them.

He’d done it without a condom.

The thought that she could be pregnant should be freaking her out. Especially in light of the fact that the issue with Owen hadn’t been resolved. But instead, it felt . . . right.

Closing her eyes, Sarah stretched. A full-body stretch. Her arms above her head, her back arched. Smiling, she opened her eyes . . .

And froze.

Cole was standing in the doorway, staring at her and smiling back. He had no shirt on and was wearing a pair of sweatpants that looked like they were barely hanging on to his hips. The V muscles and his abs were as prominent as ever. It was no wonder he’d been able to so easily haul her around last night. He was so damn muscular it was almost comical.

“Hi,” she said shyly.

“Hi,” he returned. “How do you feel?”

She shrugged and tugged the sheet up, making sure she was covered. “I’m okay. My head hurts a little, but not too bad.”

“You remember last night?”

She considered lying, but nodded instead.

Cole pushed off the doorjamb and came toward her. He sat on the edge of the bed and brushed a lock of hair behind her ear.

Sarah had the feeling her hair was probably completely out of control. She fidgeted when he didn’t say anything and merely stared down at her with an unreadable look on his face.

“I have to get a tattoo,” she blurted.

He frowned. “What?”

“I lost a bet with Felicity.”

“What kind of bet?”

“After she sent that text, I panicked and thought that she’d ruined everything we were building. She said that you would show up any second, and I didn’t believe her. She said if you weren’t upset and freaked about the babies thing, that I had to go get a tattoo with her.”

“And if I was?” Cole asked with a smile.

“She had to box my stuff up, move it all, and unpack everything in my new apartment.”

His smile grew. “She’s sneaky, that Felicity. That was a sucker bet because she knows me too well. I’ve already planned on getting you moved, and she knew it.”

“You have? She did?”

“Yeah. On your next break from work, I’ve arranged for a local moving company to pack anything that you haven’t gotten to yet and move you down here.”

“When were you going to tell me?” Sarah asked, scooting up so her back was against the headboard.

Cole winced. “Today?”

She chuckled. “Nice save.”

“And you should know, I’d move you in here with me in a heartbeat, but I want you to be safe, and that other complex has better security. So you’ll be seeing me at your new place a lot, angel. And the second a bigger apartment opens up, I’m doing what I can to get it for us. Especially now.”

“Now?”

He leaned forward, practically touching his nose with hers. “I took you without a condom last night.”

Sarah swallowed hard and nodded.

“And I want to do that again this morning. And before you head home today . . . If you aren’t already pregnant, it’s only a matter of time, because now that I’ve had you bare and filled you with my come, I want to do it again. And again. And again. I’m addicted to your pussy already, and you want kids. We need to get started on that so we aren’t sixty when we have our last child.”

Sarah’s heart was beating impossibly hard in her chest. Her head spun with the speed at which Cole was moving. But she couldn’t deny that she wanted it all with him. He’d be an amazing father. He’d be strict, but fair. Protective, but not smothering.

This was insane. Wasn’t it?

“Okay,” she whispered.

“Are you really okay with this or just saying that because you’re freaked out?” he asked astutely.

“A little of both? I love you, Cole, but I can’t help but think this is too fast.”

He closed his eyes briefly at her pronouncement, but nodded. “And that’s why you’re getting that apartment. So you can make sure this thing between us is working.”

Sarah frowned. “But you just said you were trying to get me pregnant.”

Cole smiled sheepishly. “I am. I have no doubt that things between us are going to work out, Sarah. I’m just giving you a bit of room so you can come to the same conclusion.”

“Oh.”

He leaned in and kissed her forehead. “Now, get up. Shower. Then come out to the kitchen. I’ve made us breakfast.”

Sarah was surprised. He’d just said he wanted to make love to her again . . . now he was telling her to shower. The man was confusing.

As if he could read her mind, Cole said, “Shower, some pills for your headache, some food for energy, then I want to eat you out again. Then watch as you ride my cock until I fill that hot little pussy.”

Her stomach clenched at the thought.

He smiled. “Yeah, angel. Things between us are going to work out.” Leaning forward, Cole rested his forehead on hers. “I love you, angel. More than I’ve ever loved anyone or anything in my life. You’re mine, just as I’m yours. I’ll protect, care for, and love you and our children until the end of my days.”
