Lisa's Gift Read Online Free

bed, stretching as he stood. He didn’t bother to put on a robe, he liked being naked, liked the feel of air caressing his heated flesh. As he made his way down the hall and then entered the kitchen, he noticed the back door ajar. A door he had personally locked before turning in.
    No lights were on throughout the house and Lisa was nowhere to be found.
    A strange feeling crawled across his skin like a million tiny bugs.
    Then from outside he heard faint noises that grew louder as he got closer. Someone was weeping, crying as if her heart would break. When he opened the door wider he discovered it was Lisa.
    She sat on the top step, her knees pressed against her chest, her arms hugging them closely. She rocked slowly. Strangled cries spilled from her lips in heavy sobs.
    “Lisa?”
    She startled as his hand rested on her shoulder. Her voice caught, short, gasping breaths as she fought to cease her sobbing. A none-too-delicate snort was the result.
    She wiped frantically at her tears as if she could hide the fact she was hurting. Before tonight he’d never seen her cry and she’d never revealed any emotion other than wanting to please him.

    For a man who knew exactly how to treat a woman, he had no idea whether to back off or take her into his arms. He listened to the crickets chirping and inhaled the night air that had the tinge of bug spray used to kill mosquitoes. Better just to get to the point.
    “Baby, do we need to talk?” He braced himself for what could only be the ending of their relationship. It was all making sense. The way Lisa was reverting inwardly, pulling away from him.
    Moonlight danced across her face when she glanced up at him. The clouds had thinned. Stars dotted the heavens.
    “No.” Her single word response left him more than baffled.
    “No?” he repeated.
    “No.” She was gaining control of herself. She sniffled, chasing away the last of her tears.
    Without hesitation, she let him draw her to her feet and into his embrace. Her powdery perfume teased his nose. She clung to him tighter than she ever had. He kissed her forehead tenderly, feeling the worry lines beneath his lips. “You can’t tell me that was nothing.” She began to tremble, but kept her tears in check. “Talk to me.”
    “It’s nothing,” she choked out. “I’m just worried about Jana.” She looked up at him with moist eyes. “You do like her, don’t you?”
    He nodded. “Is that what this is all about?” Women could be ridiculous. She probably thought that if the threesome didn’t work that things wouldn’t work between him and Lisa, which bothered him on several fronts. First, although he looked forward to having two women in his bed it wasn’t something that drove him. Ménages weren’t new to him.
    One woman was enough for him. But the second point was that he never really got the impression Lisa wanted a “forever after” kind of relationship. Theirs up to now had only been an agreement of sexual fulfillment. He didn’t know if he was ready to make a commitment of any kind.
    Lisa began to laugh, but something in her flat tone lacked enthusiasm. In fact, she sounded more relieved than anything else. “You 20

    can put that skittish expression to rest. I’m not looking to tie you down.”
    Her firm gaze met his. “Right? No ties between us. Just really good sex.”
    Nicolas would have been lying if he didn’t admit her words lightened the weight on his chest. He stopped himself from releasing a thankful sigh. Instead he held her tighter. “Not just good sex, great sex.”
    She slid her body along his length, the sensation hardening his cock.
    “Then if we’re in agreement, why don’t we go back to bed and you can fuck me all night long?”
    Now this was the woman he had gotten to know. Sexy, sensual and always ready for a good fucking. “What’s your pleasure tonight?”
    She gazed up in surprise.
