Whatever It Takes by C.M. Steele Page A

ate while you were in the shower.”
    “Why?”
    “Because I don’t want cold food, and I need more than a salad. You know I have to have my steak.”
    “We didn’t have to go out on a picnic just for me.”
    “I had alone time with you and a fantastic orgasm. It’s already been a satisfying afternoon.”
    “Thanks, I’m glad it wasn’t just a good afternoon.”
    “Oh, you little shit,” he growled wrapping his arms around my head and waist quickly dropping down to the blanket. I just giggled until he popped my dress open and took my nipple in his mouth.
    “Ah,” I sighed, immediately gripping his hair and pressing him closer to my breast. Clutching him close, I lifted my hips trying any way I could to make contact with his cock. He wrestled away from me with a chuckle. Then made quick work of his pants and with a slide of my panties, my love gave me what I needed. William groaned, and I cried out as his huge cock sunk deep into my womb, pleasure running through us. At a frenzied pace, we rocked on the blanket. Lunch and people all forgotten, we rutted and fucked like rabbits until we were a mess of screaming orgasms. We fell asleep with the sun, waking after a neigh from his horse.
    “Uh-oh, sugar. We fell asleep. Time to head back.” We got up and managed to get to the house just as the sun had gone down.
    “Welcome back home. It’s nice to see you two. Dinner is on the table. Go wash up and come down semi decent. Your parents, brother, and his wife are on their way,” Laura yelled at us. William actually looked frightened, but I saw that gleam in her eyes. Laura and well, everyone else couldn’t wait for the babies to come. Dinner was going to be fun once we broke the news to them about the twins on the way.

Chapter 14
    The summer passed by so quickly with all the work around the ranch. The summer always made for more labor to be put forth. There was no more news on Santini, and his men hadn’t been seen asking any questions in a couple of months. So Ana and I got into a rhythm of relaxing and doing things away from the ranch, but it all changed when fall kicked in. We were in a mad rush to make the changes for the season while planning for the next spring, so what I hadn’t needed was to be put out of commission. But hell if life worked out like you had planned.
    Mateo and Davy helped me in to the house and through to the kitchen. I stood straight, just in case Ana was in there with Laura. Gratefully, she wasn’t. She was supposed to take it easy because of the babies, but she never was.
    “Is Ana taking a nap?” I asked Laura, who gave me a nod. Then I crouched down into the chair at the kitchen table, my chest aching.
    “What’s wrong, Will?” she asked, panicking, dropping what she was doing to get to me. I waved her off and sat up straight.
    “He got kicked by one of the horses,” Mateo answered for me.
    “We need to get him to the hospital,” Laura said in a hurried screech. I brushed her off a second time then put my finger to my lips. I didn’t want Ana to hear.
    “We took him this morning. He didn’t want Ana to know so we’ve been working quietly. The doc’s already given him some medicine and examined him. He’s got to take it easy on the ranch. The x-rays showed two cracked ribs and he has a bruised side. He’ll be fine but doesn’t want to stress Ana out so far into her pregnancy,” Mateo answered, constantly looking towards the door.
    He knew that I worried about Ana all the time. Without her memory back, the fear of Santini returning, and her swollen with my baby, she didn’t need the stress.
    “Well, please take it easy for the rest of the day, but I’m going to tell you now, boss, it’s not good to keep secrets from the wife even if it’s just to keep her from worrying,” Laura warned me.
    “I know I shouldn’t, but we just started to feel safer. Something about him being missing seems like a good thing to me, but I don’t need to freak her out anymore,”
