“Glad to see we were both in unison with that one.” The skin around his eyes crinkled as he smiled down at her. “You okay?”
“Couldn't be better.” Delilah wrapped her arms around his back and made circles on his damp skin. With him in her grasp, she raised her head and nibbled on the skin under his chin before running her tongue up toward his ear. The salty taste of his skin buzzed on her tongue and the nibbles turned to nips with bite. She could feel him move again and smiled.
“I think I had better use the bathroom. Back in a minute.”
He withdrew from her and padded to the bathroom. Delilah rolled over on her stomach and watched him, gazing at his naked back while he disposed of the condom before washing his hands. When he turned back to her and walked back into the bedroom, she pulled herself to a crouching position and grabbed him by the forearms to stop him lying down again.
Delilah pushed him back against the bedroom wall and grinned wickedly at him. “Now we've taken the edge off, time for some fun.”
She was rewarded with the hardening of his cock nudging her stomach. She drew her long fingernails down his chest, then pinched his nipples before dropping to her knees. With one hand cupping him, Delilah ran her tongue around the base of his cock, smiling to herself when it jerked in response.
“Woman, you are going to do me in.” Blake complained and held onto her shoulders.
“No hands, buddy. Hold them over your head and don't move.” She watched him comply and then lowered her head to take him in her mouth. He groaned loudly when she sucked him in and ran her tongue over the length of him. His hips started to move in time with her mouth.
“Daddy.” A small voice wailed in the hallway and Delilah looked up at Blake, pulling away from him.
“Hell.” He grabbed the towel she had dropped to the floor earlier, wrapping it around his hips. “Sorry, I'll be back as soon as I can.”
Delilah sat on her heels on the floor and watched him walk out, leaving her naked and wanting more. Damn it! My first bout of sex in months and we almost get sprung by a child. So not the way she envisaged being wooed.
With a shake of her head, she got to her feet. Blake's clothes were in a pile on the floor and she bent down to pick them up. As she folded them neatly, she breathed in the smell of him. Opening the door, Delilah placed the clothes outside on the floor before closing it, and wandered over to her bed. Pulling back the sheets, she sank down and drew the blankets up over her. Her eyes filled and she turned her head into the pillow and cried silent tears. This wasn't turning out to be the trip the studio was hoping for.
When Blake tapped on her door over an hour later, she gave no response. Delilah pretended to be asleep and listened to his footsteps head back to his own room, her heart heavy.
Chapter 14
When Blake walked into the kitchen the next morning, she smiled brightly, doing her best to appear normal and not confused over last night’s events.
“Hi…coffee?”
“Thanks. About last night—”
“Let’s just leave it, please. I think it was a mistake.” She avoided eye contact and looked out the window as she made his coffee.
“I don’t believe that and neither do you.” He stood behind her, his body flush with hers. He looped his hands around her waist and pulled her back, before resting his chin in the curve of her neck. Shivers raced over her skin and she swallowed, trying not to let him know how much she missed him.
“Your body gives you away. Now I want to apologize for being interrupted last night, something I had no control over I promise you. But I have to let you know that was the most amazing sex, Delilah. I knew we would be good together.”
“If my memory serves me right, it’s the only sex you’ve had for some time.” She swiveled around so they were facing each other. The gleam in his eye was her undoing. Del lifted her chin and pecked at his lips before nipping with her teeth. A cough at the back door stopped her taking it any further. “Morning, Bluey, coffee?”
“Yeah, if you can tear yourself away.” He walked over and pulled out a chair, dropping into it.
“I’m pretty sure I can manage that.” Del unwound her arms from around Blake and pushed him away, a smile hovering on her lips.
“So, what’s on the books for today?” The man leaning into her winked before he joined his mate at the table.
“I have an appointment in town at the hospital for Lilly. Just a quick eye test and then we’ll be home.” She held her breath and waited for a rebuff. “Mind if we take the four wheel drive?”
“If you think you can manage it. Might be a good idea to take Royce as well.” His voice was gruff as he shuffled his feet, giving her tentative looks.
“Sure, no worries.” A sigh escaped her lips and she leaned back over the kitchen sink, fingers gripping the edge behind her, watching him from under her lashes.
Lilly walked out, a big yawn breaking the sudden deathly quiet of the room.
“Morning, honey, sleep well?” Blake brushed the mess of blonde curls and pulled out a chair for her. With a nod of her head, the little girl slid into the chair next to her father, leaning her arms on the table as she woke up.
“Cornflakes, honey?” Del took a bowl from the cupboard and put it on the table just as Royce walked
