Gambling on Love (Stories of Serendipity #6) by Anne Conley Read Free Book Online

intense sex he’d ever had, the words slipped out of his mouth. She hadn’t even said them yet, and as soon as they escaped, Luke realized that he meant them.
    “I love you, Kathy.”
    And now he’d lost her. She was in another state, trying to get impregnated by a complete stranger because he’d been too big of a dumbass to realize what he had.
    He utilized every byte of his data plan, booking hotel rooms, calling around, making plans, checking information on the internet, and he was as ready as he’d ever be. Now he just needed to get to her. Amy had been as helpful as she could, giving him the hotel she was staying at. When he’d researched that, he’d nearly lost it. Again. She was staying in some dive, one that probably didn’t have any security features in place. If he found her, and she was still alive, he would never let her go. Ever.

Chapter 6
    T he day was the longest on record in Kathy’s life. As the day wore on, and drinks apparently flowed more smoothly at the strip club across the street, her interviewees got progressively drunker, hornier, and more forward. With a relieved sigh she watched the last man, one who had bragged about the size of his penis before actually whipping it out and laying it on the table, stride proudly out the door. He should be proud, but instead of being turned on by the massive member laying flaccid on the table top, Kathy had been more than a little intimidated and moved the prospect further down the list.
    After signing the check to have a couple dozen drinks put on her room tab, she let herself into her hotel room and went into the bathroom. If tomorrow was going to be another day like today, she needed to go out and get shit-faced tonight. Maybe a hangover would make some of them look better. But first, she needed to unwind a bit.
    She looked longingly at the bathtub, wishing she had some sort of cleanser to clean it. Sure, it looked okay, but just the thought of what could have gone on in this room based on the smell alone, gave her the heebie-jeebies. There was no way she could sink into a tub full of germs in this room…
    “I’ve always wanted to have sex in a bathtub…” His fingers nimbly unfastened the buttons on his shirt, as he eagerly shed it, taking Kathy’s breath away, yet again, with the sight of his abdomen. She sunk lower in the tub, allowing just the tips of her breasts to peek out over the bubbles.
    “Won’t Connor be mad?”
    “I’m not really thinking about him right now.” Luke’s voice hit a gravely pitch, and Kathy shivered, despite the heat of the water submersing her.
    Connor and Jessie were gone for the evening, and Luke and Kathy had the run of their house. Luke stayed with Kathy most of the times he’d visited. This time, he’d said something about mice playing when cats were gone that had Kathy eager to have a little more space to romp around in. And they were taking full advantage.
    Connor’s house that held his restaurant was enormous and they’d started out christening each level that night. Now that they’d made it to the top, Kathy wanted a bath. The guest room had one of those old claw-foot bathtubs that could hold a family of six, and Kathy made no bones about making her wishes known.
    As Luke sank in behind her, his arms came around to reach for the bottle of soap. His warm chest slid against her back, and she leaned against him, exhaling her pleasure.
    The exhales turned to moans, as Luke’s calloused fingers deftly slathered bath gel across her body, focusing on her breasts. She knew he loved her breasts, calling them stupendous, magnificent, perfect, and her personal favorite, pleasure pods.
    She turned around, sliding her pleasure pods against his chest, giggling as she did so, thinking of his pet name for her boobs. A gasp escaped when she felt his thick length between her legs.
    “What’s so funny?” An amused smirk graced his lips, and Kathy momentarily resisted the urge to kiss him.
    “Pleasure pods.” She
