to her belly.
Seeing her so maternal shook him. “I suspected on our first date. As soon as I walked into your house and came near you, I thought I detected the bear in you. Then when I drove you to Mr. Francolini’s house, your scent was even stronger.”
“Why didn’t you say something?”
“It’s your body. I wanted you to make the decision as to when you told me.”
She covered her mouth. “I didn’t even know on our first date.” Her hand shook, and then she lowered it. “If you could detect the bear in me, does that mean I’m having a boy?”
“No, it just means that part of me is in you.” Her body trembled, and Wade could no longer take it. He slid off the desk, raced over to her, and lifted her to a stand. He then wrapped his arms around her.
She planted her palms on his naked chest, her fingers searing his skin. “I understand why you didn’t tell me who you really were. I’m the one who needs to apologize for keeping a secret. I should have told you right away about the baby, but I’m still trying to come to grips with it all.”
“I can see why, but how about we discuss it later?” He cupped her cheek. “Right now, I need you more than I can possibly say.” His body vibrated with a desire so strong, he was certain his inner beast was about to come out.
Her eyes shone and her whole body seemed fragile to his touch. Wade placed a gentle kiss on her lips and let the connection seep deep into him.
“Okay.” Emmaline then wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back with even more emotion. “I need you, too,” she said. She then lowered her hands to his pants and pulled open the buttons.
That one action spurred him on. As much as he wanted to talk about their future, if he didn’t have her right now, no telling what he’d do—or rather what the animal in him would do.
He placed a hand over hers to stop her. “Are you sure?” He wasn’t certain exactly what he was asking of her, but he wanted her consent more than anything.
“For now, yes.”
He’d take what he could get. Not wanting Agnes to walk in on them, he strode over to the door and locked it.
“She won’t come looking for you?”
“I hope not. She knows what you mean to me.”
“So she was in on this job interview hoax the whole time?”
He didn’t need to get into an argument about that deception. “Does it matter? You’re here now and you know who I am. If we could table this discussion, I’d greatly appreciate it. If not, I’ll melt before your eyes.”
She smiled, just like he hoped she would. “I can wait.”
He kicked off his shoes and socks and dropped trou. In the past, he might have waited for her to get undressed, but not now. His urgency was too strong. Emmaline moved closer and dragged a finger from his breastbone to his belly button, leaving a trail of fire, and making his cock grow even harder. “I’ve missed you, Emmaline.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Let me show you just how much. You look so beautiful in your outfit, and I hate to take it off, but I have to.”
She grinned. “Is this part of the interview process?”
“It is now.” As much as he wanted to go slow, he couldn’t. He yanked open her blouse with speed and agility. As he peeled back the material, his breath caught at the sexiness of her red, push-up lace bra. “I see you were determined to get this job.”
“Like I knew you’d be the boss?”
He chuckled. “Glad to hear it.”
Wade removed her top and tossed it on the chair behind her. He then slid his fingers under her bra, and when he lifted it over her tits, her delicious pink nipples called to him. Wade brushed his thumbs across the tips and watched them peak. His inner animal growled, forcing him to lean over and taste her. The first lick made his rigid cock rock hard, and he wasn’t sure how long he would last. “I need you naked now.”
“Let me help.” She kicked off her heels, forcing him to bend over farther to keep sucking on her
