He pulled the blankets over them. Krista sighed happily as she snuggled deeper into his arms. The couple quickly drifted off holding each other tight. Tomorrow would be a big day and Ethan’s gut just told him that this whole cluster fuck would be over with one way or another.
Chapter 26
Krista woke up the morning of her book release feeling both excited and nervous. Even though she had been doing this for nearly a decade now, she still got nervous before a book release. You never knew from one book to the next how readers would react. People could grow tired of a series or a genre, society as a whole could shift and therefore shift your audience’s views on certain genres could shift as well.
Sighing, she slipped out of Ethan's arms and made her way to the bathroom for a boiling shower. As the hot water washed over her and the steam billowed, she tilted her head back feeling some of the stress of the last few weeks washing away. She had to admit, Ethan had been a real trooper dealing with the whirlwind of a book release. This last week had been even more crazy than usual. Of course, it hadn't helped that two days after returning from New York, some reporter had been leaked the information about Jerry’s death.
The best Blackout and the Feds could figure; it was someone from the hospital. Still, it was enough to have several major newspapers to call asked for a comment. Krista, remained silent and forwarded all calls regarding Jerry’s murder to either the police or the Feds. For the moment at least, her fans had been sympathetic yes, but they were more excited about the book and that helped keep her grounded. Well, them and Ethan.
Krista soaped up the loofah and started washing. As she ran the loofa over her body, she replayed the previous night. After they had fallen asleep, Ethan had woken up in the middle of the night and woke her up in turn by making love to her. He had been both gentle and unleashed all at the same time. Her breathing sped up as she remembered how his strong, callused hands had slid over every curve of her body.
Catching her nipples and teasing them. Plucking at the hardened buds making her back bow up off the bed as she had cried for more. She loved how wet she would get for Ethan when he would pinch and tug at her nipples. She had always thought nipple orgasms were a myth. Until last night. But that hadn't been enough for her man, oh no. As she had lain there still shaking from her climax Ethan had used that wicked mouth of his to drive her to yet another two bone melting orgasms.
Her breath hitched more as one hand slid over her flat stomach and between her legs, her clit throbbing, wetness pooling inside her. She tilted her head back, her mouth opening slightly when her fingers slid over the nub. A shudder shot through her, her mind imagining Ethan's hands on her. She could practically feel him behind her.
“Starting without me babe.”
“Touch me Ethan. Please.”
Chuckling, Ethan slid his arms around her, one arm banding under her breasts keeping her back to his chest. The other arm around her waist, his hand joining hers. Krista groaned loudly, her head falling back against his shoulder when two fingers slid inside her.
“Christ your wet already. I love it Krista.”
“I love how you make me so wet Ethan. Only you.”
Ethan's mouth found hers. Demanding her submission, which she gave. He took her mouth while his fingers began thrusting faster into her and her own fingers started rubbing her clit faster. Ethan growled, pulling away, watching her.
“That's my girl. Yes, baby, rub your clit as I finger that tight pussy. I want you to come for me. Mmmm, come on my fingers.”
“Ethan. Oh I want,”
“I know baby; I know what you want. What you need. Come. NOW.”
Krista came. Her body tensing as her walls clung to his fingers, her own fingers rubbing faster, riding out the wave of pleasure. She barely had time to catch her breath before Ethan spun her, picked her up, pinned her to the tile and drove inside her. Her arms locked around his neck while her lips found his. His tongue mimicking what his cock was doing to her lower body. Her hips grinding into his with each powerful thrust he delivered.
“Yes Krista. Fuck me back, take my dick.”
“Oh I love your dick Ethan. More please more.”
Ethan gripped her wrists and shackled them above her head with one hand, his other arm slid under her ass, elevating her more. In this position he was able to slide even deeper. She all but screamed as he thrust hard and deep, hitting that one spot that would drive her crazy. Her body was his. An instrument of pleasure that he played like a maestro.
“Fuck yeah. You're gonna come so hard aren't you. I want to feel it baby. God I love you.”
“I love you too Ethan. Now! Oh now!”
Ethan felt his eyes all but roll back into his head as his woman’s body gripped his while he emptied into her. He could feel her body trembling as he held her and the cooling water sloshing off them both. His eyes locked onto her as they fluttered open. Smiling, he brushed his knuckles across her cheek. The smile she returned to him melted his hardened heart.
“Good morning.” Ethan said.
“A very good morning.” Krista giggled.
Laughing, Ethan took her loofah and quickly washed them both. After turning off the water, he grabbed a towel, dried himself before slinging it around his waist. Grabbing another towel, he handed it to Krista for her hair. Krista had her hair wrapped up in the towel in a blink before taking the other towel Ethan offered. She kissed him softly then walked into the bedroom, making a beeline straight for the closet.
As she dressed so did Ethan. She chose her outfit carefully the night before. She had selected a royal blue top with billowing three quarter length sleeves. The shoulders of the blouse hung off her own, exposing the skin. She had chosen black form fitting tattooed jeans. The back pockets were decorated with blue and white rhinestones in rose patterns. The tattoos of the jeans ran down the outside of each leg in a vine like pattern.
Ethan watched her walk into the bathroom to do her hair and makeup as he laced up his boots. He felt himself smile as he watched her. He found that since Krista had come back into his life, he and his men had been smiling more. He also found that he was wanting things he had never really considered before. Wife, kids, the whole package and he wanted it with Krista. Ethan stood from the edge of the bed and walked toward the bathroom.
"Krista, do you want kids?" He blurted out.
