The Forgotten Heiress novel Chapter 69

Nick leered, mockingly, at her and proceeded to show her just how good he was. Even though he didn't consider himself a playboy growing up he'd taken advantage of some of the willing women around him, he had sex with them but he never made love to them. He'd never made love until Jessica came along. Using his body he told her things that his lips could not.

Minutes later, after regaining her strength, Jessica opened her eyes and gasped. "I see stars!"

Nick chuckled and raised his head from where it rested on her chest, amazed that he had the energy to even do that, and gave her a quick kiss. He tipped his imaginary hat and with a western drawl said. "Yes ma'am you are welcome!"

Jessica laughed and swatted his arm playfully. "Not that." she pointed up at the ceiling. "You have glow in the dark stars up there!"

Nick rolled gently off of her and rubbed the spot over his arm. "Ouch, I think my ego just took a beating."

Lying on their sides, facing each other, she smiled wryly at him. "It could use a couple more."

He leaned forward and rubbed his nose against hers. "Then it's a good thing I will have you around."

"Actually about that." She fidgeted nervously. "I hope you don't expect me to move in right away. Not that I don't want to. I'd just like to give my mom sometime to get used to the idea that I'm moving out. I mean I don't want to go home and start packing right away."

Nick nodded understandingly, even though his wolf growled at the thought that he would have to be away from his mate. "That's fine; it also gives me time to set up a gathering of sorts to welcome you into the pack. People are dying to meet you." He informed her with a smile.

"Really?" Nick nodded and was about to speak but was interrupted by the ringing of Jessica's cellphone. She answered it, promised to be home soon and hung up. Her smile held a bit of sadness she looked at him and said. "I have to go."
