Page 13 of His Tempting Angel

He drives into me hard, gritting his teeth and growling. Shunting me up the bed until I’m grasping at the headboard to keep from hitting my head.

“Gonna fucking tie you to me as soon as I can, baby girl. You’re mine. Forever.”

Then he stills, his dick pulsing and the warmth of his release filling me up. Filling all the empty, lonely places in my body and my soul.

“Love you so much, Lexi!” He hollers and my body tightens before falling off the cliff, wailing and pulsing around him.

He tugs me close to him and kisses my cheek. “Love you, angel. But if you slip out of this bed again I’m gonna spank your ass red.”

I grin and sigh, my eyes closing. I’ve never felt so safe. So happy.

“Love you too, Max.”

When I’m so close to sleep that I’m not even sure I hear it right, Max whispers, “My tempting little Christmas angel. I love you so much.”

A smile curls my lips and I finally fall asleep, finally home.

Right where I belong.

Epilogue: Max

“How’s it going, angel?” I stand in the doorway watching as Lexi sighs and pulls off her glasses, rubbing at her temple and nose.

“I’ve got the payroll done and everyone’s Christmas bonuses all set up. Just about done. I’ll be heading home soon.”

“I’ll wait.”

I sit down on the couch in the room and she smiles at me. “You know that’s not necessary.”

“You must be delirious if you think I’m gonna leave you here alone when you’re seven months pregnant. I’ll wait.”

She rolls her eyes. “It’s the middle of the day. The bar is chock-full of staff. I’m not alone.”

I lean back into the cushions and growl. “Doesn’t matter. If I’m not here you’re alone.”

She grins at me. “You’re full of yourself, you know that.”

A smile curls my lips. “You’d miss me if I left.”

“Sadly, you’re right,” she mutters under her breath.

“I know I am.”

“Hey, guys!” Mel knocks on the door. “I hate to bug you guys but I have to go home. My dad is sick again.”

I stand up and head over to her. “You need a ride, Mel.”

She shakes her head. “No. I’m good. It’s getting close…”. Her voice trails off and we both see the tears in her eyes.

“Go home. Take care of your dad. We’re good here.”

Her head cocks and she sniffs. “Are you sure?”

“Yep. And don’t worry about your shifts. Just let me know what time you need.”

“I need the money, Max.”

Lexi stands up and she scuttles to her, holding her hands out. Mel takes them and holds tight. “Hey! Don’t you worry about your paycheck. You take the time. We’ll take care of you, Mel. You’re family.”
