MARIA LOATHED TRAVELING long distances, and she had just reached the longest period of time she had ever been in a truck in her whole life. Stretching out her whole body, Maria couldn't stop a long yawn. After a drive back home, they took a few hours to pack. Soon after that, Derrick and Maria were on a plane. Once they landed, Derrick had a truck waiting for them and then he drove another four hours to the coven where her mother had grown up.
The whole time, Derrick drove in silence, but with an added pep in his step not there before they had met Kerine. Before I found out my brother was a deceitful son of a bitch. The pain from watching her brother walk off stung like a slap in the face.
“Are you keeping something from me?” Maria asked as they pulled up to a hotel for the night.
“Why do you ask?” Derrick raised an eyebrow like he was mocking her.
“Don’t play games. You are happy about something and I really hope it’s not about how my brother is a liar or that my mother has been taken.”
“I’m not happy about either of those things.” Derrick climbed out of the truck and pulled out their bag.
“Then what is it?” Maria slammed the door closed. Another secret might break her limit of dishonesty which had already been reached. Derrick pulled out the key for the room and walked into the building. Maria followed close behind, waiting for him to answer. When they finally reached their room, he slid the key home and tossed the bag on the ground before pinning Maria against the door.
“I don’t want you to worry about anything. I want to tell you, but I also don’t want to overwhelm you.” He kissed her neck making her body quiver under his.
“I don’t want any secrets between us, Derrick. With everything happening, my mom keeping this huge secret,” She threw a ball of light through the air and looked at him. “my brother completely lying to me for years, I can’t handle any more dishonesty. Plus, if this is about all those condoms breaking, I found them in the trash.” She hadn’t mentioned anything about it before because she was still trying to get a grasp on everything else in her life.
“I’m sorry about the condoms. I didn’t want to keep it from you. I was worried you might freak out. This secret, well, I couldn’t keep it for long, even if I tried.”
“Then just tell me,” Maria pleaded. Derrick’s hands slid down her body and cupped her ass. Her body melted at his touch but her mind stood strong.
“Can I tell you after we climb into bed?” he whispered into her ear. Maria’s thighs tightened while her underwear became wet.
“Tell me first.” Maria ground her teeth to keep herself centered.
“Oh, your arousal scent is amazing my little mate.” Derrick nipped at her shoulder sending a wave of need straight to her core.
“I can still say no.” Maria’s willpower faltered with each breath. She only hoped Derrick didn’t realize it was slipping away.
“You have to promise that if I tell you, you will relax in the bed and let me fuck you until almost morning.” His eyes twinkled with delight as he spoke. Her mind spun from how aroused she was.
“I will do my best.” Maria met his gaze. There was no way in hell she’d be able to deny her need much longer, so his request was mute.
“Your scent changed.” Derrick’s eyes lit up even more, as if she should automatically know what it meant.
“And? Doesn’t it change a bit all the time?” Maria raised an eyebrow.
“It means, my little mate, that you’re pregnant.” Derrick kissed her, his joy radiated off him into his kiss. His words settled into her brain as she realized what he had said. I’m going to be a mom. A freaking mother! Her heart swelled with so many emotions at once.
“You’re telling me the truth?” she asked and met his gaze. “It’s not some joke? I want to get a test.” She bit her lower lip waiting for confirmation. That was freaking fast!
“You can buy all the tests you want, but I’d never joke about this.” Derrick studied her, making her nervous. Her head spun for a moment, but when she finally caught her breath, she realized this news made her happy and nervous. What if I’m not a good mom? Am I really ready for this? She looked at him. The whole trip here she had been pondering what she truly wanted. The information that she was carrying Derrick’s child settled everything into place.
“Then we need to celebrate.” Maria grabbed his neck to pull him down to her level. He must have realized what she planned on doing as he gripped her hips to lift her up. Once her lips met his, her worries about being pregnant melted away.
Derrick walked over to the bed and set her down. His eyes roamed over her body making her feel sexy as hell. In a flash, all of his clothes were on the ground. She licked her lips and slowly pulled off her shirt. Unsnapping her bra, her heavy breasts spilled free from their confines.
His heated gaze watched every move Maria made. She leaned back, lifted her ass into the air and slowly slid the jeans off her hips. Derrick’s fingers twitched but he kept them at his side.
The resistance he had been showing ended when all Maria had left were black lace panties covering her. He gripped each side and tore the fabric with ease. His fingers glided down, then up her thigh. One finger pressed against her entrance and slid slowly into her core. Maria lifted her hips in an attempt to get more. Derrick’s free hand gently pushed down her hips to keep her from moving.
He kneeled in between her parted legs and placed his hot mouth on her clit. First, he started off gentle as he flicked his tongue against it. But his slow pace only lasted a few seconds before he gently nipped her sensitive flesh.
Maria cried out as pleasure consumed her body. Every nerve blazed with heat, ready and waiting for Derrick to help her reach her lovely climax.
In a rush, her release shattered every sane thought Maria had. With barely any build up, Derrick played with her wet pussy. Once she stopped shuddering, Derrick lapped up her release making her shiver.
Slowly, Derrick inched up her body, kissing and nipping at her flesh as he went. Finally, his lips landed on hers. She tasted herself on him. He aligned them, then shoved himself into her waiting body.
Maria threw her head back as the pleasure coursed through her. He pounded deep and hard into her center. A wild frenzy took over his eyes, exciting Maria. She needed all of him. Her orgasm inched closer. Derrick nipped at her neck sending heat under her skin.
One of Derrick’s large hands grabbed her breasts, so much pleasure to contain in her small body. Her orgasm rushed under her skin.
“Derrick,” Maria gasped as an aftershock rolled through her body. Derrick growled against her skin as he reached his own release. They lay there panting with their sweaty bodies intertwined.
“I love you.” Maria kissed his chest.
“My sweet little mate, I love you too.” Derrick kissed her. After they finally caught their breath, Derrick picked her up and carried her to the shower.
“What do you expect to happen tomorrow?” Maria asked while washing her hair.
“I'm not sure, but I'll do my best to bring your mother home.” Derrick kissed her neck. Maria let the words settle, she didn't exactly like his answer but knew he spoke the truth.
She hoped to leave this State with both her mother and her mate. Tomorrow would make all the difference and she didn’t like being nervous as hell about the unknown.
