Page 57 of Audra: The Prequel

Audra moaned, grinding against him in blatant invitation. Shoving his fingers into her silky hair, Damon surged into her with a low growl, and she gasped as electrifying shocks raced through her. He set the pace with rhythmic thrusts of his hips, rocking her on the mattress, forcing her throat muscles to expel whimpering cries.

Gasping and panting, Audra tightened her legs around Damon while her hands swept over his broad back and shoulders. Throwing back her head, she surrendered to the pleasure of his powerful body claiming hers. When his pace increased, she kept time with him, biting her lip as she savored each deep, deliberate stroke.

“You got that good shit, baby.That good shit,” Damon groaned.

Angling his hips, he hit her spot, and Audra screamed and clawed his muscular back. She knew for sure they must have heard her all the way down in the parking lot.

“That’s it. Come for me, baby,” Damon coaxed huskily.

That was all it took. Her intimate muscles contracted around him, and he swelled inside her. Her thighs trembled around his hips, and they came at the same time, bodies bucking against each other, their cries filling the air in the room.

Damon collapsed on top of Audra, and she welcomed his weight. It had been so long since she experienced the pressure of his solid body between her thighs that she didn’t want to let him go.

Winded and shaken, she closed her eyes and let her thundering heart slowly return to a normal pace. She pressed her cheek against Damon’s and savored the scruff of his beard against her soft skin.

He kissed the underside of her jaw and then her chest before easing from between her legs.

“Well,” he said. “Welcome back.”

“That was quite the welcome.”

“I do what I can.” As if he couldn’t help himself, he dropped another kiss on her lips.

Enjoying the contact, Audra held his face between her hands to prolong it. Briefly, she swept the tip of her tongue along his lower lip, and he moaned.

“I missed you,” she whispered.

“Missed you, too, baby.” Damon rolled off the bed and strolled toward the bathroom.

Audra admired his graceful walk and the beauty of his muscular body and thought about how lucky she was. He returned from the bathroom with a warm washcloth. After they cleaned up, they lay facing each other under the covers.

“You know I’m never letting you go again, right?” Damon asked, rubbing his knuckles along the slope of her cheek.

“I don’t know, the makeup sex might be worth it,” Audra teased.

“Nah, we need to find another way to have crazy good sex,” he said.

She let out a little laugh and smoothed her palm over his chest. She never grew tired of touching him.

Damon frowned as he looked at her. “Everything okay?”

Despite their time apart, he was still attuned to her moods.

Audra licked her lips. “I have something to tell you.”

He sobered. “You’re making me nervous. What’s wrong?”

Her mother’s words came back to her:When the right man comes along, he’ll show you through his actions, not just his words—how important you are to him.She was about to find out how important she was to Damon.

“I don’t know how to say this because I can’t believe it happened again.”

He raised up on his elbow. “What’s happened again?”

Audra took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When she opened them, she looked directly into Damon’s face.

“I’m pregnant.”
