His willpower was rapidly unraveling. She began to move with him, her hips and body arching against his as she met each of his thrusts. Her long legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him deeper into her. Her soft moans and enthusiastic reception were driving him beyond the brink of control. He wanted to tell her to slow down, that he couldn't restrain himself, but he was past the point of speech. Waves of pleasure washed over him as he drove in and out of her.
Sera's hands dug into his back. She’d never known anything could feel like this, never even imagined how wonderful it would feel to have Liam inside her, filling her, becoming one with her. Her whole body quivered as she neared a point she didn't understand, came close to something almost frightening.
He thrust vigorously into her and pushed her to the brink. A cry tore from her as her body exploded with unimaginable pleasure that swept through her in fierce waves. Her muscles clenched around him as the force of her climax ripped his from him. With a savage yell, he drove himself to the hilt and spilled everything he had into her.
He almost collapsed on top of her but managed to catch himself in time. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her and rolled, so she lay beside him. Her body trembled against his; her breath came in pants as she wrapped her arms around him and nuzzled his neck. He was unable to believe the force of the orgasm she managed to rend from him. Never in his life had he expected to find someone like her.
He kissed her cheek as his hands ran over her body. "I love you too." Her breath was a mild breeze against his neck.
Anguish and pleasure crashed through him in tangled waves. Until then he hadn't realized exactly how much he needed her love and warmth. He pulled her flush against his chest. He didn't deserve her. He shouldn't have her, but he was never going to let her go.
Chapter Eight
Liam blinked dazedly against the sunlight filtering past the thick curtains. He groaned and rolled away from the light. Sera slept beside him, the blanket tossed aside to bare her shoulder, back, and butt. She was an amazingly tempting sight to wake up to first thing. Unable to resist, he kissed her shoulder as his hands wrapped around to fondle a full breast. She instinctively arched into his touch. They had made love over and over again last night, but he still couldn't get enough of her.
She stirred as her eyes flitted open, she blinked uncertainly, and then she turned to him. She smiled sleepily as she trailed her fingers over his chest. "Good morning," she whispered huskily.
"Good morning."
He lowered his head to take her mouth in his. She opened to him as their tongues lazily entwined together. "Liam!"
The loud banging on the door made them both jump. Liam muttered a curse as he lifted his mouth from hers. "What?" he demanded.
"Get up man; we have to go!" Mike yelled.
Liam glanced at the clock and swore again. "I'll meet you guys there."
"You've got the car. Get your lazy ass out of bed!"
"Give me ten minutes!"
"Whatever," Mike mumbled as he walked away.
Liam dropped his head against her tempting shoulder. "Sorry about that."
She kissed the top of his head. "I should go anyway. Kathleen's probably waiting to attack me with questions." It wasn't a pleasant thought, she didn't feel like having to explain everything that happened last night, but she wouldn’t be able to refuse her. Kathleen would be as persistent as a bee on a flower until she got the whole story.
He propped his head on his elbow as his hand leisurely caressed her tender breasts. He looked so young and sweet that it melted her heart. There was a shadow along his strong jaw, his hair was a tousled mess, and the lazy gleam of satisfaction in his brilliant eyes warmed her. "I have to go; we have a basketball game at the park. Are you going to come over tonight?"
She smiled slyly at him as her eyes twinkled mischievously. "I don't know; I'll have to think about it."
He grinned. "Really?"
"You'll have to help me make up my mind."
He trailed a finger from her collarbone to her stomach. He circled her belly button, dipping temptingly low, before circling her belly button again.
"And how do I do that?" he whispered as he nibbled on her ear.
Sera became a quivering mass beneath him as his hand slid down to cup her. "I think you're making a good start," she panted. His smile was pure satisfaction as he slid a finger into her warm body. "What about the game?"
"They'll wait; I have the car, remember?"
She smiled at him as he seized hold of her mouth.
Sera turned over on her bed and placed her finger in the book so she could look at Kathleen. "You look beautiful," she assured her.
"You sure?" Kathleen asked as she nervously fiddled with her hair.
"I'm sure."
"Why don't you come now?"
She lifted her book. "I have to get some studying done. Besides, the haunted house won't close until ten."
Kathleen patted her hair. "I would stay with you, but you know how I hate to be cooped up."
"If you stayed with me I'd never get any studying done. Go ahead; I'll meet you there in about an hour."
"Okay." Kathleen grabbed her coat from the hook by the door where Sera had hung it for her. "I'll see you soon."
"Yep," she agreed.
Kathleen cast her a grin as she opened the door, locked, and shut it. It had taken Sera a long time to get Kathleen into the habit of locking the door when she left. Now she did it all the time, even if Sera was still in the room. She rolled onto her back and buried herself in the book. She was just beginning to lose herself when a knock at the door pulled
