Chapter 386

“I’ll have to think about it,” I told the news executive.

Turning my articles into hour-long news shows sounded intriguing, but I wasn’t sure what was next for me.

I was working hard to graduate early and marry Victor before I did anything else.

“Take your time and think it over. We would give you a lot of creative control over each episode.” He handed me his business card. “I understand you’re studying for your degree. We can wait until you graduate if that's important to you.”

I glanced at the card and saw his name was Mike Abbott before I gave him a warm smile. “Thank you, Mr. Abbott. I’ll let you know as soon as I'm sure what’s next for me after graduation.”

He shook my hand. “I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully working with you.” He nodded at Victor. “Mr. Klein, it's nice to see you again.”

Victor nodded back, and we watched Mike Abbott walk toward a waiting limo.

Victor put an arm around my shoulders and walked me inside the mansion.

“Doesn’t Mike Abbott’s offer tempt you?” he asked. “It sounds like something you would enjoy doing.”

“I’ll think about it after I graduate and we get married,” I said. “I want a normal life for a while. I need calm to recharge.”

Victor led me toward the living room. “What’s normal mean to you?”

“I want to study hard to graduate, hang out with Amy before she has the baby, and spend time with you and Alex,” I replied.

We stopped to kiss before going inside the room with the others.

Victor rubbed my nose with his. “How long before Amy has the baby?”

“Almost three months,” I answered. “She told me she’s rarely nauseated these days, but she feels like a balloon.” Being pregnant at this stage didn't look like much fun, but I envied Amy.

I touched my flat stomach and wondered what it would be like to carry new life inside my body. It would be wonderful to be having Victor’s baby.

When the time came for us to start a family, I would eagerly throw away my birth control pills.

“Our time is coming,” Victor promised as he held me close. “For now, why don’t we enjoy our lives and each other?”

“That sounds good.” I nuzzled his neck. “I love you, Victor.”

He ran a hand over my hair. “And I love you, Daisy. Forever.”

“Forever,” I agreed. I clung to him for a moment as my love for him swelled through my heart and soul.

Pressed against Victor’s masculine body made mine ache for him. Maybe we could slip upstairs before anyone saw us.

But a second later, we heard footsteps and saw Benson approaching us.

“Forgive me for interrupting, but dinner is ready to be served in the family dining room,” Benson announced.

“Thank you, Benson,” I said, trying to hide my disappointment.

“Waiting will make our lovemaking even better,” Victor whispered.

We walked hand in hand to the dining room to enjoy a delicious dinner with Alex and Cassidy.

“We watched the press conference on TV,” Alex said as the entree of roast pork was served. “You were both marvelous.”

“The online comments have mostly swung in your favor,” Cassidy agreed. “Only a few bots still talk in John’s favor. You let people know exactly who John Cameron really is.”

Alex raised his glass. “To a job well done, Victor and Daisy. I’m proud of you both.”

We sipped our wine as Benson wheeled our dinner from the kitchen on a silver cart. It looked and smelled delicious. I picked up my fork and satisfied one of my appetites.

After dinner, Victor and I met in my bedroom. The day's events left us tired, but our passion for each other was burning brightly.

We showered together, washing each other and enjoying caressing each other's bodies.

Victor’s hands glided over my skin, sending bursts of wanting to my loins.

I reached down and took his rod in my hands while his mouth found my breasts, making them harden into stiff peaks.

His rock-hard manhood pulsed with need as I explored its length, and then I reached lower to tease his full pouch.

Victor groaned and turned off the water. “Let’s get out of the shower now. I want you, my sexy vixen.”

“Not yet,” I purred and sank to my knees in front of him. Taking his hardness into my mouth, I suckled hard as I rubbed his twin orbs with my hands.

“Daisy!” Victor moaned. He clung to the shower bar to stay on his feet.

I looked up, and our gazes locked. I felt his pleasure through our bond and took him deeper into my mouth.

I would do anything for this incredible male. He was my fated mate, and our bond made his pleasure my pleasure. His climax was near, but I didn’t want to stop what I was doing.

“Daisy,” Victor said breathlessly. “Let’s go to bed, sweetheart. I’m nearly there.”

“But I’m enjoying this so much,” I said and continued working his manhood with my mouth, reveling in his pleasure. It was incredible, more intense than I’d ever felt it. I was near my own peak from pleasuring him.

“Sweetheart, you must stop now, or I’m going to lose control,” he panted and pulled me to my feet.

I was tempted to tell him I didn’t care, but I craved his manhood inside me. And I had a place and position in mind.

We quickly dried ourselves and hurried to the bed. But before he touched me, I heard my phone ringing in the distance. It was a perfect excuse to get him across the hall.

“I’ve got to go,” I told Victor before running naked into the hallway. I think my phone is ringing in the library.”

But the truth was that I burned for him, and the phone was just an excuse to run to the library. I had something in mind.

“Daisy, where are you going?” Victor asked and followed me.

Hearing Victor chasing me, I ran inside the library and flipped on the lights. Then I settled on my knees, draping my body over the back of the couch.

“Daisy, come back to the bedroom,” Victor said as he hurried into the room. He saw my bare bottom presented to him and gasped.

“I’ve always wanted to make love with you in this room, just like this,” I said. “Take me, my lover. I need you desperately.”

Victor hurried across the floor to me. “Anything you want, my love.”

He entered my woman’s passage from behind, filling me full as one hand played with my aching breasts.

He stopped when he was fully inside me and played with both of my breasts. His hands squeezed the round globes and teased the pink points between his thumbs and forefingers.

It was sweet torture as pleasure telegraphed from my breasts to my loins. I squirmed and tried to move my hips as I felt my womanhood tighten around his love lance lodged deeply inside my body.

But instead of moving in and out of me, Victor dropped one of his hands to my core and began to rub my woman’s jewel as he pushed himself as far inside of me as he could.

“Yes, Victor!” I screamed in pleasure as my climax began.

That was what he was waiting for. He drew back his hips and slammed in and out of my body, making the intensity of my pleasure skyrocket.

I gasped for air and screamed his name again while I clutched the back of the couch.

He fought his climax for a few more moments until sweet relief swept him away in a torrent of passion that made his low moans of ecstasy join mine.

We collapsed on the couch in each other's arms.

“I’ve always wanted to make love on this couch,” I said and kissed his warm lips.

“Anywhere, anytime, sweetheart,” Victor said with a grin. “But I did hear your phone ringing in here.”

“So did I.” I reached for my phone on the coffee table where I’d left it that afternoon and checked the screen.

“It was Justin,” I said and hit redial. Was something wrong with Amy?

He didn’t answer, so I checked my voicemail.

I grew dizzy, and the blood left my face when I heard Justin’s message.

“We have to go to the hospital right away,” I told Victor. “Amy went into labor an hour ago.”

Victor froze. “But didn’t you say she’s not due for almost three months?”

“Yes, it’s much too soon,” I replied. “Hurry, I need to get to the hospital and be with Amy.”
