“You did?”
I nod, withholding how the image of my goddess shining in orgasmic bliss was seared in my brain so I’d always remember from this day until my last breath. “I did. You’re beautiful.”
Her smile feels like a gift. One I don’t deserve. It makes me uncomfortable, so I flip us over and sink into her again.
“But if I don’t come soon, my dick is going to die.”
She wraps her legs around me. “Can’t have that.”
At first, I take my time, realizing I’ve never done that with her. It’s just been fast and furious with no finesse. But my orgasm is clawing at me. I can’t hold back, so I let go. I give in to the need as I drive in and out of her, ignoring the pain from my wound. It seems apropos that any pleasure I have be mixed with pain, anyway.
“Oh, God…” She gasps and arches. Her pussy pulses around me. She’s going to come again. I hope to hell I can hold off until then. I want to feel her orgasm on my dick, to have that be the thing that finally puts me over.
I lean over, sucking her nipple into my mouth.
She cries out, and her legs tighten around me, as does her pussy. Stars burst behind my eyes. Coiled up power surges through me, through my dick. I release everything I am. For this one moment, she has all of me. She probably doesn’t know it. That’s a good thing because if she did, she might fight harder to make me stay. Worse, I realize that she could succeed. I’m powerless around her.
I collapse over her, wanting to pull her close but knowing I can’t. I give myself one split second to imprint her in my mind. Her scent. Her soft skin. Her voice. And then I roll out of bed and start to dress. It guts me to see her crestfallen face.
She watches me, tugging the sheets over her beautiful body. She’s a fighter. I know it because she’s trying not to cry. Good, because I’m not worth crying over.
When I’m dressed, I look at her in the bed. Regret threatens to eat me alive. “Do as Donovan and Lucy tell you. You’ll be safe and be able to live a normal life.”
She doesn’t respond.
I suck in a breath. “Don’t try to find me.”
“Why would I do that?”
Her words kill something inside me even as they give me hope that she’ll be able to move on and be happy. “No reason.” I feel like I should say something more. Have a good life. Be happy. I’m sorry. I love you.
Instead, I exit her room and head downstairs. My insides are twisted and mangled, yearning for me to return to her so she can make me right.
“Liam.” Niko calls out to me as I start across the foyer to the front door.
“Something wrong?” I ask as he approaches me.
“I don’t know. You tell me.”
My eyes narrow, not understanding what he’s trying to say. “You know the drill.”
“I do.” He studies me. “Look, I know you’re a private guy and it’s none of my business, but both Elena and Lucy think there’s something between you and Kate.”
God, did he know what I’d just done? “Oh, for fuck’s sake.” I don’t need this. Not now. Not when my heart is shattering into bits in front of his eyes.
“I know, I know… but if it’s true?—”
“There’s nothing.” The lie tastes like vinegar in my mouth. “She might have a little crush, but that’s only because she sees me as a hero or something. And it’s over now. She hates me. She’d much rather be with you.”
“What about you, though?”
I shrug like I don’t feel a fucking thing.
He arches a brow. “I know you, Liam. I’ve known you since we started shaking down our classmates in grade school.”
The memory is sweet and a reminder of why it was probably foolish to go into the FBI considering I was raised in the criminal world and clearly had taken to it at a young age.
“You’ve always been intense and secretive, but… I see it too. There’s something about Kate?—”
