Closing the back door, Hunter listened for sounds as to just what the ladies of the house were doing, or located. But once again he didn’t hear anything so he headed upstairs. At noon, not sure if it was jet lag or change in environment, but he had felt tired again. Refusing to give in, he’d taken off for an hour-long run. Using the bathroom in the master bedroom, he appreciated Iain’s taste. His shower was brisk but afterwards, he spent a long time shaving his face.

Exiting the bathroom, he was more than a little surprised to see that he was no longer alone. Lying in his bed, eyes closed, was Tatiana. He wasn’t sure that she was asleep until he was looking into her face, from the opposite side of the bed. Knowing it would not be the smartest thing to do, he climbed beneath the covers. He could argue that at least this way he had covered his nudity.

The shifting of the bed didn’t awaken her, which surprised him. He moved a little closer, still on his side, he stopped when there was only about two feet of empty bed between them. He spoke softly, deciding this was the safest way to wake her.

“Tatiana. Tatiana.”

Her lids twitched a bit, her eyelashes fluttered a little before she lifted them. Alertness and recognition came slowly, followed by a soft gasp of surprise. She moved quickly, but Hunter was faster. His hand closed over her wrist, preventing her from leaving the bed.

“I thought you would be gone of another hour.”

“Me too, but I’m afraid I pooped out.”

“I should go—”

“No, it’s all right. The little squirt wears you out, huh? Where is she by the way?”

“She is taking her nap. I thought I would come in here, since you were out jogging. I’d get up when you came in.”

Hunter watched her closely, noticing how lovely her eyes truly were with their long black lashes. Her hand lifted to push through her hair, and he saw for the first time she had removed her shirt before climbing into bed. Immediately his thoughts went soaring on erotic adventures.

“How many men have told you that you look sexy in bed?” he asked her a moment later, speaking his thoughts out loud.

A pink flush immediately stained Tatiana’s cheeks. “Thousands!”

Tatiana watched Hunter Blue’s eyes narrow at her answer. Ever since he’d landed on top of her, she’d been fighting a growing desire to touch him, be near him…kissing him! It felt like her body was aroused all the time, and sleeping last night had been impossible with the thought him across the hall. Telling herself it was crazy, insane and completely nonsensical wasn’t helping either. Even now, looking in his sexy eyes, surrounded by short, thick dark brown lashes, she could feel her pussy lips getting damp, swelling. The movement her hips a second later were directed by somewhere other than her brain the logical part of her conscious argued without any support.

“That many, huh?” Hunter stroked one finger across her uppermost cheek. “You don’t look that old, at first glance anyway.”

Tatiana didn’t know whether to be mad that he was accepting her answer, or think he was jesting with her as well she had done with her flippant answer. One part of her brain was now screaming to get out of the bed, now! And if she couldn’t manage that, at least say something that sounded intelligent and witty. Finally, if she was frozen in time, smile and break the tension.

Hunter moved in one quick, decisive gesture. His mouth covered hers an instant after he spoke. “Then let me be the only one who said it with his three year old niece asleep across the hall.”

Tatiana felt his lips touch hers. On the one level she felt their warmth, softness, and pressure of the kiss. Her body was responding by moving closer to his heat. His hands seemed to be caressing her all over a moment later, and his legs began an erotic assault of their own. In that last remaining corner of her head that was still functioning, she remembered two things. It was probably a bad idea to sleep with her employers’ brother, and secondly, the condoms were in the top drawer on her side of the bed. The last one she spoke out loud.

Hunter lifted his head and looked down into Tatiana’s beautiful, rather elfin-like face. “What did you say?”

Tatiana felt her cheeks heat with embarrassment. Dear God! Now she’d have to admit she’d done a little snooping through a drawer once. She’d only been looking for a tissue, damn it!

“The…uhm…the condoms. I think there are some in that drawer. I guess I assumed that’s what you were planning.”

She stopped and looked away. But she couldn’t turn her body away. He was half sprawled on top of her, naked. She still had her panties on, but he was pressing against her cotton covered pussy with unmistakable intent. Or at least, that is what she had thought. Closing her eyes, she cursed silently. In her head, she’d practiced how to bring up safe sex when the moment came. Now the moment was here, and she had blown it.

“I have some, but they are still in my duffle bag.”

Hunter reached across and yanked the drawer open. Reaching in, he found what Tatiana had said would be there. Looking that it would work, size wise, he turned to look at her. She still had her eyes closed, so he lowered his head and began kissing the side of her neck. He paused to suck a small area below her ear before he worked his way across to her mouth. Her lips parted eagerly and her tongue invaded his mouth this time.

Almost as if his kissing her had opened a flood gate, Tatiana was caressing his body feverishly. When he slid his hands down to pull her panties off, she squirmed and wiggled her hips to help him. Opening the small packet, he had to gently remove Tatiana’s soft and eager hands.

“I love your hands, honey, but if I don’t stop them, the party will be over for a bit.”

As soon as his hands took care of business, he began caressing her swollen, wet pussy lips. He slid his mouth down to her breasts, suckling the nipples lightly, one after the other. Later, he would spend much longer sampling her breasts. For now, he used the wetness to lubricate his fingers and condom covered cock.

Hunter had to pause and take a deep breath. All he wanted was to be inside Tatiana. It was crazy, but the need felt like blood lust. The hunger to feel her body around his cock seemed almost as powerful as that initial drive he’d felt to taste blood after his conversion. Working quickly, he began to rub his index finger over her clit. Her response was immediate. Her hips jerked forward like he’d touched her electrical switch. Each touch escalated her responses, until she was breathing hard and her skin was damp with sweat.

That’s when he pulled his finger away and rubbed his cock across her pussy lips, wetting it, and spreading the moisture. He pushed, and then pushed harder, her tight flesh resisting him. Flexing his hips, he thrust forward and impaled her halfway with his cock.

“Ugh!”

“God! Honey you are so tight! This feels like—”

His voiced faded away as he felt more resistance. Assuming it was just that she was smaller he thrust harder and broke through the barrier. Immediately her cunt enclosed his cock and he wished he could feel her with the condom. After that, he couldn’t pause any longer. He knew that Tatiana hadn't reached her pinnacle but there was no way in hell he could hold back another second. Blame it on jet lag, whatever; he began shoving his cock in and out with quick, short strokes. Then he stiffened his back and jerked forward, emptying his seed into the thin protective sack she had remembered, but he had not.

Hunter woke up a second before a small missile landed on top of him. His breath was knocked out of him and he barely avoided two small knees. Memory rushed back at him like the big waves he used surf off the Gold Coast. He had made love to Tatiana! Turning his head, he saw that Tatiana looked just as startled as he. Obviously he wasn’t the only one who slept a lot longer than what etiquette books might recommend for a situations such as theirs.

“Blue Belle!” Tatiana called out to his niece, who appeared to be completely refreshed from her nap.

“Wake up! Wake up you sleepy heads!” Blue scrambled around sit on the bed between the two adults.

Hunter looked at the child’s tousled curls. She was wearing a pink T-shirt and panties with some type cartoon character on them. This must be what she had taken her nap in he decided with a shrug. Lifting his gaze he saw that Tatiana was struggling to wake up and sit up at the same time. Her short hair was sexily mussed and made him want to make love to her all over again. Just as she seemed to getting herself tidily arranged with the sheet tucked under her arms, Blue giggled and bounced up and down on the bed. Her boisterous actions jerked the sheet away and Hunter was presented with the erotic sight of Tatiana’s naked and bouncing breasts.

Hunter considered turning away but once he saw that her nipples were hard and poking out more than half an inch, he just had to wait and see if Blue would try one more bounce.

“Blue! You know better than to bounce on the beds,” Tatiana told the little girl quickly, clutching the errant sheet to her chin.

“I sorry, Tat. This is like when Mommy and Daddy take a nap too. I have to wake them up!” Blue announced with a grin, pleased with her actions.

Hunter’s laugh covered up Tatiana’s little gasp of embarrassment. “So Blue, do your mommy and daddy take a lot of naps together?”

Blue nodded her head, but then stuck her thumb in her mouth. It was obvious that she was missing her parents. Hunter picked her up and hoisted her easily into the air over his head. The threatening tears disappeared into giggles as his distraction technique worked. Lowering her, he tickled her tummy, and then under her arms. Peals of giggling erupted then.

“Ah ha! I see you are ticklish in the same place as your mommy. When she gets home, you can tickle her!”

“I need to get up,” Tatiana hissed at him as softly as possible.

Hunter met her gaze, grinning. “Go ahead.”

“Hurrrrrrummmpppfffff!” She made a disgusted noise. He watched as she looked around for something to cover up with, but there was only the sheet. She couldn’t pull it off the bed and expose his naked body to his niece.

“Quite the conundrum, huh?”
