Free His Dark Promise (Siren Publishing Classic) by K. R. Haynes Page A

long night and neither one of us got much sleep.”
    She studied him for a moment before asking him, “Why are you really here, Travis?”
    “I’ve told you that already, I felt guilty in not feeding you, so I brought us both some breakfast.” Holly watched him arrange the fresh bagels and donuts on the table for them to eat.
    “You know that’s not what I mean, Travis, and we both know it.”
    He turned to her then and shoved a cup of coffee and a bagel in her hands. “Eat,” he grumbled out to her, “and stop overanalyzing this, Holly. You’ll give yourself a headache and you don’t want that, do you ? So once your belly is nice and full, I’ll tuck you into your bed and if you ask me really nicely I might even stay and lie down with you.”
    Holly just rolled her eyes at him and dug into the bagel he shoved in her hand. “Arrogant bastard,” she muttered under her breath. He obviously heard because he smirked down at her and said, “You got that right, sweet darlin’.”
    As promised, once she finished eating and had downed her coffee, Travis escorted her down the short hallway to her room. He even stripped her of her clothing, telling her she would sleep better in the nude. More likely he would sleep better if she was in the nude. Even when she protested he stayed anyway and slept the day with her in her bed.
    Late in the afternoon, he woke her up with his lips delving between her splayed legs to taste her essence. Holly gripped his head and tried to grind herself onto his mouth. His lips sucked at her clit and before long she found herself teetering on the edge of a breath-stealing orgasm. He shoved his tongue into her opening and a fingertip in her ass, and she flew over the edge, crying his name out as she flew higher and higher.
    On the way back down from her release, he plunged his huge, hard length into her and stole her breath once again. His lips slanted over hers while his hips drove forward, filling her up with his rock-hard cock. She could taste her own unique flavor on his tongue. It was an utterly sinful delight.
    With his hands massaging her breasts and his fingers tweaking her taut nipples, Holly found herself once again spiralling into a second orgasm then a third one before he let go himself. She felt his hot seed pulsing inside the condom he wore. And once again, she found herself wishing he hadn’t worn one. Just once she wanted to know what it felt like to have his warm semen spilling into her wanting womb and marking her as his.
    As she lay back down on the bed completely spent, Travis gently cleaned them both up before disposing of the used condom. He lay back down beside her and tucked her into the crook of his arm and they both fell back to sleep, thoroughly sated once again.
    When she next woke up it was dark outside. No light spilled in from the opening in the curtains. Leaning over she flipped the lamp on and a soft glow appeared and Travis was nowhere to be seen. She called out to him but was greeted with silence. He was gone. He must have slipped quietly out into the night while she slept soundly thinking he was nearby.
    She missed him, but deep down knew he had to go. After all it was a work day tomorrow. Great, they hadn’t spoken about what to say to people about their what? Relationship, were they even in one? “Ugh!” she grumbled then switched the light back off.
    Darkness, she wanted the soothing darkness to ease the ache within her chest, the one caused by him leaving her without even so much as a word of good-bye to her.
    Running a fingertip over her lips, a tear slipped from her eyes when it dawned on her that he left her alone in her bed without so much as a kiss goodnight. Maybe he didn’t want to pursue this thing between them like she had presumed he had. If that was true then it left a hollow feeling deep inside her and a longing for something just out of her reach, him.
    Holly wanted Travis more than anything else in the world. But what if in the end she
