“Aye. I do.” My knees dig deeper into the mattress as we go harder, our needy bodies slamming into one another when they meet.
He kisses the back of my neck, sucking and biting the delicate skin along the tops of my shoulders. His arm slips around my waist, his hand wrapping in my hair, pulling me up and back so I’m leaning against him, his cock still buried inside me. I reach around, rubbing the back of his neck, running a hand over the tops of his thighs.
He tugs at my hair, bouncing me up and down on his lap in short, hard bursts. I gasp at each thrust. His arm remains wrapped around my waist, holding me tight against him, but his other hand releases my hair. The tangled locks tumble down over my shoulders. I hear him licking his fingers, and his now-free hand slips between my thighs.
“Oh. My. God.” His slick fingertips dance around my clit, massaging and teasing in a circular motion, his touch gathering speed, keeping with the rhythm of our bodies. He growls, his voice so deep and animal-like that it doesn’t sound like him.
He thrusts upward hard, then holds me there. I feel hot wetness fill me, flow from me, but my mind drifts as his fingers tease that oncoming orgasm to finally tip me over the edge of the cliff, sailing into the open sky, gliding over the crashing waves.
We sit there, panting, pressed together in a tangle. Finally, I sit up, pulling him from me. Heat washes over my face as I leak all kinds of warm liquid. I collapse against the bed, and he joins me, pulling me tight into his big spoon as we try to catch our breath.
We share a quiet moment, contemplating how good we are together. A content kitten smile rests on my lips as I lay there, lazy and euphoric as the happy endorphins flow through my system, relaxing every inch of my body.
His arm is locked around my waist. He pulls me closer, even tighter against him. He strokes my hair, tucking it behind my ear. “I don’t ever want you pulling something like that again.”
“I was with Freya,” I protest. “She knows what she’s doing.”
“Aye. She does. She was raised a Burnes. Protecting herself was taught to her as soon as she learned to walk. And she’s lived in this city for years. She’s exposed to all kinds of things in her job. She knows the risks.”
“And I don’t?” I ask. A bit of nerve prickles inside me. “Am I a simple girl? Can’t have things explained to me?”
His voice is softer, quiet, as he strokes my hair. “You’ve no idea how dangerous it is out there, Fiona. I was worried sick…”
He’s so sweet now, tender and vulnerable, tugging my heartstrings. I put myself in his shoes, something I’ve told him to do with me countless times. That look on his face when I finally walked in the door. He was terrified. Guilt fills me as I turn to face him.
“I am sorry.” I put a hand on either side of his face. “I didn’t think it through. It was meant to be a fun night out, but now I see how it affects you. Your job is to keep everyone safe, and I’m sure it was terrifying not knowing where I was.”
He softens. “Aye. It was. I kept thinking about all the things that could happen…”
Rolling on his back, he takes me in his arms, holding me close to his side, my face pressing against his chest's warm, solid safety, my leg lazily looping over his. I want to do something, anything, in this moment to heal him from the fright I caused. “Can I make you a cup of tea?”
“I don’t need tea,” he says. “I just need you in my arms. Let me hold ye a wee bit longer.”
“Alright.” I press my face against him, inhaling his sexy, masculine scent. The feeling is almost enough to give in to him.
Maybe I will marry the man...
There’s no denying it: Callum Burnes not only wants to fulfill my every need and want, he wants to protect me. Having someone care about my safety and whereabouts again—well, it’s the first time someone has cared since Mam passed.
I think of how he not only stole me but my virginity as well. Well, stealing my virginity—that’s a stretch. He’s not the good, kind, soft-spoken man I’ve imagined spending the rest of my life with. I won’t marry him. Not a chance.
I shift my weight, pressing my thighs together. There’s a new soreness there, one I’ve never felt and didn’t know would come, pain but not altogether unpleasant. I want to know more of what I’ve been missing out on, so I will stay here and get to know the pleasures of the flesh better.
Alright…and get to know Callum better as well.
I pull away from his embrace, finding his gaze. “I won’t marry you, but I’ll stay and get to know you better,” I offer. “Can you handle those terms?”
“No sneaking out?” he asks.
I nod. “Aye.”
“And more importantly, no secrets between us.” His voice is harsher than I think he means it to be.
I smile to soften him. “Yes, that’s important to me as well.”
“Good. Then, yes, I agree to your terms.”
I make him meet my eye. “But there’s one more. And this one, I’m afraid, is non-negotiable.”
