Surrender to Desire by Tory Richards Read Free Book Online Page A

he turned his
head. “If you’re not sure maybe we should do it again.”
    Blade laughed, and pulled back to meet her eyes. “You take a
lot out of a man.” He surprised Callie by kissing her. “I can’t seem to keep my
hands off you.”
    “I’m not complaining, Blade. And in case you haven’t
noticed, I have the same problem.” She caressed his backside. A low moan
escaped her when his deflated cock slipped out of her, leaving her with a
feeling of emptiness.
    He stared into her eyes for what seemed like forever, as if
searching for something. Then without warning he rolled from her to the edge of
the bed, and sat up. Callie decided it was time to vacate the room and give him
some space. It was almost breakfast time. She rose to her feet and picked up
her jeans and bra from the floor at the foot of the bed.
    “I think it’s time I fix you some breakfast.”
    She started to walk past Blade, surprised when his hand shot
out and he grabbed her arm. The next thing Callie knew he was pulling her
toward him, where he still sat on the edge of the bed. She kept her clothes
between them.
    “You better make extra. I’m starved.”
    “You should be, you haven’t eaten in twenty-four hours. Are
you working today?”
    He nodded. “I don’t know what you did last night but it did
the trick.” He pulled Callie into the cradle of his naked thighs. Her pulse jumped.
“You must be a witch.” Reaching up, he wrapped his hand around the back of her
neck and pulled her down for a kiss.
    Callie moaned and dropped her clothes. She could kiss Blade
all day. She leaned into him, until she was flush against his loins. A wild
emotion fluttered in her belly when she felt his cock turning hard. He kissed
her long and sensuously, until she was weak in the knees and there was a
flutter in her chest. She could feel the juices of her renewed desire running
down the inside of her thighs. Blade’s hand fell to her breast, caressing her
achy flesh until the kiss ended.
    His hot gaze fell to her breasts. “Damn, lady.” His thumb
played with her nipple. “You better leave before I toss you back onto the bed
and fuck the hell out of you again.”
    Oh! Callie felt a light tingling between her legs. His words
and the erotic image they conjured up left her feeling hot and breathless. She
was eager for another round but didn’t want to come off as being too slutty.
She dragged up a smile from somewhere inside and nodded. He scooped up her
clothes, and she took them and walked with quiet dignity from his room, very
much aware that his gaze was following her.

    Callie was just finishing up the breakfast dishes when there
was a brief knock on the kitchen door, and then Marissa was walking in. They
exchanged smiles and good mornings before Marissa got right to the point.
    “Have you heard from Val?” She sat down at the table.
    “No, why?” Callie put a fresh pot of coffee on, and sat down
next to Marissa. “Please give me some good news if it’s about Donald.”
    “I wish I could, honey. Val told me he’s gone.”
    “Gone where?”
    “She doesn’t know. Her contact said he hasn’t been at his
apartment for a couple days. Nor have they seen his car around. So they checked
at his job and they said he took a leave of absence to take care of a family
situation.”
    Callie shook her head, a sick feeling in her stomach.
“There’s no way he can trace me here. I was extra careful this time. And even
if he does, what’s he going to do? He can’t force me to go with him.” She got
up to pour them each a cup of coffee. “Sugar and creamer?”
    “Please. And make mine half a cup. I have to watch my
caffeine intake.”
    Callie put the sugar and creamer on the table, and then
retrieved the cups she’d fixed for them. Her gaze met Marissa’s. “I don’t know
why he’s being so persistent. He didn’t treat me all that great when we were
together.”
    “Some people are like that. He probably benefited from your
relationship more
