“It’s over. You’re safe. I’ll always keep you safe.”
She trails her hands down my chest, until her fingers lace with mine. “Be with me? Again. Here. Now?”
Fire roars through my blood. I lean up and catch her mouth with mine as I thread my fingers under her sleep shirt. Fingertips coasting across her skin until I cup the weight of her breast in my palm. Worship in every slide of my thumb across her nipple.
“I love you, Sunshine.” I whisper the words against her lips, unable to keep them to myself anymore. Unable to hold back the last piece of my heart. She crashed into my life. She and her adorable daughter stole my heart with every whispered confession, with every glimpse of strength running through the core of her, with her kindness, her bravery in facing life and doing it on her own terms.
“Har.” A beautiful smile covers her face, and she drops her mouth to mine, sucking on my bottom lip before breaking away. “I love you too.” She whispers the words against my lips and I…
Snap.
The threadbare control I cling to anytime she’s in my arms disintegrates.
I roll, putting her under me, thrusting my erection against her panty-covered core.
“You love me?” I ask on a harsh exhale, astonished.
Astonished that I get this woman for my own. That she’s mine. That I get to love her. That she loves me back.
She gasps at the friction of my cock pressing tight to her and nods.
Dragging my hands up, I pull her shirt off.
“Get naked,” I say and pull back to deal with my own sweatpants. Kicking them to the bottom of the bed, I reach out and snag the panties tangled around her feet to throw them across the room, and finally she’s bare under me. Every inch of her exposed to my hungry gaze. The feminine dip of her hips perfect for my hands. I press kisses along her chest, until I catch a nipple between my lips. Her hands thread through my hair, legs climbing on my waist and tugging me closer until I’m pressed against heaven.
I capture the other peaked nipple in my mouth as my fingers trail down to her center. Sliding my fingers through her folds, I gather her wetness to tease her clit. Her gasps are a symphony of need.
The same need thrums in my veins, and I can’t get close enough to assuage the hunger building in me. I want her here, with me, always. I want decades. Holidays. Celebrations. Struggles. Arguments. Waking up to her every morning. Going to bed together at night. I want it all.
“Har.” The thready plea falls from her lips, and I slip farther into the craze of needing her. Needing Maisie with every beat of my heart.
“I know, Sunshine. I’ve got you.”
I press my fingers to her clit, pinching the nub between my fingers and circling.
“You’re mine.” The harsh declaration punches between us, and I give into her. Into the need to claim her for my own. “You and Audra are mine. I’m yours. I want us to live in my house, I want to cook in my kitchen with you, I want you here...with me,” I bite out. The dare in my voice as heavy as the need I have for her.
Daring her to take the leap and be mine.
Chapter 30
Maisie
Every single nerve ending is on fire. Lightning streaks through me until I’m shuddering and shivering against Harlan. His fingers dance along my core, ratcheting me higher and higher until I’m scared of the fall. Scared of the strength of my release. Every time he puts his hands on me, my greed for the man begs for more. More of him, more of this, more of us.
My arms are anchored on his shoulders, fingers twisting and tugging in the hair at the nape of his neck.
“You’re mine.” He breathes against my breast where his mouth is toying with my nipple. A firm press and twist of his fingers against my clit steals my breath.
He levers himself up to lock our gazes. “You and Audra are mine. I’m yours. I want us to live in my house, I want to cook in my kitchen with you, I want you here...with me.” The challenge in his tone unmistakable.
I nod even as a sob breaks from me on a shaky inhale. The quiver in my core ramping higher and higher until I can’t catch my breath. Until I can’t see beyond the need and love Harlan’s gaze pins me with.
“Yours.” I breathe out as I detonate. Wave after wave of pleasure cascades over me, so strong I want to escape it, run from it, and simultaneously never leave it. Never leave him.
Just as my orgasm starts to fade, Harlan reaches down and notches the head of his cock at my entrance. Pressing forward in a slow slide, he fills me. Stretching me beyond anything I’ve ever felt and reigniting my release until another orgasm rolls through me.
His hands trail up my thighs, a devotion of touch from his fingers and I tighten my legs at his waist, tugging him down, farther into me.
