Page 18 of Carver's Obsession

Chapter Ten

Carver held her against his body and couldn’t understand why he felt so content. She was so light that he barely felt her. Her scent was so feminine and sweet that he found his mouth watering, wanting a taste of her.

He noticed the looks they were getting, but none of them seemed pissed. They were either surprised and/or happy to see them together. He was also pleased they left him alone.

He’d never thought he’d ever have his own woman. He wasn’t the type of guy women like to be around except for sex. But once he was done, he pushed them away.

After watching his brothers with their women, he felt a kernel of desire to have his own but quickly doused it because no woman out there would want him. Now, he had someone who looked like an angel come to him freely and trust him enough to sleep on his lap.

He had no idea how long they sat there when Erica’s eyelids fluttered open. She stared at him, momentarily confused, and then a blush covered her face.

“I can’t believe I went to sleep. Was I out long?”

Carver shrugged and couldn’t help the grin when her blush deepened. “It doesn’t matter, Babe. I enjoyed it. I’ve never held a woman, and now I can see why my brothers like having their own.”

“It can’t be comfortable,” she said.

“It’s better than comfortable. I’m going to kiss you. If that’s something you don’t want, tell me now.”

He almost groaned when her little tongue peeked out to wet her lips.

“I’m not going to say no.”

He used the side of his hand to tilt her head back while lowering his head. The first touch of their lips was soft, but the taste of her quickly went to his head.

His hand cupped the back of her head to hold it steady as the kiss deepened. Carver ripped his mouth from hers when the back door slammed. Her eyes fluttered open. The depth of desire in them made his stomach tighten in brutal need.

“Woman, do you know how close I am to stripping you and fucking you until you pass out?”

Her eyes widened, and she looked around quickly.

He smiled. “I know. The first time we do fuck, it will be private.”

Erica relaxed and nodded.

“How about we get up? I’m afraid if we stay like this, we’ll get out of hand.”

She nodded and then tried to sit up. In one move, he lifted her to her feet.

“Are you steady?” he asked.

She nodded.

He stood to his feet and looked down at her. She was such a tiny thing he was afraid he’d break her if he got too rough.

“Are you going to say anything?” he asked her.

“Thank you.”

Another blush covered her face, making him laugh out loud. He saw the surprised looks thrown their way but ignored them. He knew he didn’t show emotion much, and happiness was rare.

He wrapped an arm around her. “I’ve got some things to do. I’ll leave you with the girls, but I’ll see you later.”

“Okay.”

He opened the back door and nudged her in. “Look in the family room you guys use. There is usually at least one woman in there.”

“Okay. I’ll see you later.”
