him, and he ll move on. We just need to avoid him for a bit, and if that means holing up here for a
little while, then we ll do just that. But you re not fucking calling him, Zo. Morgan shook his head
no, his jaw clenched as anger flared in his green eyes. He pulled her into his arms, and held her tight,
his body coiled in tension as if ready to attack and annihilate any threat. I swear, the thought of that
ass coming after you& it makes me fucking crazy.
She pulled away just enough to look at him, and what she saw made her heart hitch. The love
in his eyes was fierce and so utterly complete. And he was just so gorgeous. How could she possibly
not be in love with him? Seeing him like this only took the love she d always had for him and
multiplied it by a million.
Slipping her arms around his neck, she leaned in and kissed him, a tentative little kiss that
somehow made her more fully aware of the risk she was taking, despite the fact that she d woken up
naked in his arms. Because in the end, it was less about giving in to him physically. She was putting
her heart on the line and it scared the hell out of her, especially when she knew it was a huge risk,
given the secret she was keeping.
She couldn t even begin to imagine how he d react, beyond knowing that he d be furious and
he d feel betrayed, likely ending whatever relationship friendship or otherwise that they currently
had. But there was more to it than just that. What if he decided to challenge the adoption? Given that
she hadn t gotten his permission to put Lexie up for adoption, he could easily take it to court. Between
the top-notch lawyers Morgan could hire, and the influence the Ryker name carried, Morgan could
make this a legal nightmare.
The thought of that sort of upheaval in Lexie s life, the thought of plunging her into the
spotlight and sticking her at the center of a custody battle that could take years, was unbearable. She
had done what she believed was best for their daughter, and the last thing she wanted was to ruin her
childhood with courts and lawyers, and confusing Lexie with concepts she might not fully understand.
It was yet another reason she should avoid Morgan, and yet& she was finding it nearly
impossible. When he touched her, she couldn t help but give in to what was between them, and when
he took her, claimed her body, her mind, her soul, she knew she could only ever feel complete with
him in her life as her partner, her lover, her friend. Promise me you ll never leave me, Morgan. That
no matter what gets thrown our way, we ll get through it together.
You have my word, Zo. And I swear, I won t let Sean near you. It was no surprise that
Morgan thought she was worried about Sean, and she didn t bother to correct him. Not when the truth
wasn t something she could discuss. I ll fucking kill him if he touches you, Zo.
I know you ll protect me. I just worry that things will get a whole lot worse before they get
better. Zoe ran her hands up his hard chest and then, closing the distance between them, sidled up to
him, and nipped at his bottom lip, before stealing one kiss and then another.
Slowly, her teasing kisses grew into more passionate ones, her tongue flicking against his, as
she pushed away her worries. If she was going to do this, then she needed to do it wholeheartedly and
banish her demons, hard as that might be. Because she knew Morgan saw everything every worry
that darkened her eyes, every sorrow-filled breath. She had to focus on the only thing that mattered at
this point, and her only connection to Lexie Morgan. And damn, but he made her feel alive, made
her hope that she could find the person she once was before guilt and difficult decisions robbed her of
her chance at happiness.
When she stroked his hard cock and deepened their kisses, Morgan let out a primal grunt, his
hands running down her back to cup her ass and haul her against his length. Zo& if you re trying to
distract me from finding Sean and fucking pummeling him, I ll admit, you re doing a damn good job of
it.
Morgan trailed kisses down her jawline to her neck as he cupped her breasts and teased her
nipples into sensitive nubs, the sensation of it running straight through her to tug on her clit.
She bit back her needy moan, trying to hold onto some semblance of control, and failed
miserably as he slipped his large hands under her shirt and against her skin, pulling her top off and
then discarding her bra haphazardly. Cupping her breasts, his thumbs ran a lazy circle around her
nipples as he trailed kisses over her skin, catching her nipples between his teeth through the lace of
her bra, before laying her down along the length of the sofa.
Morgan& His name was but a needy whisper on her lips, as he trailed kisses down over
the curves of her belly and sent a shard of panic through to her heart. Though the pregnancy hadn t
been a difficult one and her body had easily recovered, there were still the faintest of stretch marks
visible, and he might easily notice them, especially if the light hit them just right.
She must have tensed and he must have felt it. He looked up at her with green eyes that had
darkened with worry and confusion. Hey, love& you okay?
With a deep breath, she forced herself to relax and managed a smile, running her hand through
his hair with fingers that nearly trembled as she fought to find an excuse. Yeah& fine. Though you re
wearing too many clothes when all I can think of is getting you naked.
That can easily be remedied, sweetheart. His smile kicked up as he kissed her belly, and
then obliging her, he pulled off his t-shirt and got to his feet, quickly ridding himself of his jeans and
briefs. Fucking hell, he was such a sight& classically handsome, tall, muscular, with broad shoulders,
washboard abs, and the largest cock Zoe had ever seen. If ever there was a boyfriend jackpot,
Morgan would be it. Better?
