Tears poured down her face.
“I have men watching you. I call them constantly because I need to know you’re still here. I don’t care if it makes me look weak. I need to know you’re here waiting for me. I’m identical to my father in one aspect. When we love, we do it once and forever. I’ll never let you go. I recognize what you are, what place you have in my life. I can feel you slipping through my fingers. I won’t allow it.” He spread his arms wide. “You want to hook me, baby? Take me. Anything, everything. Show me you wantsomethingfrom me and aren’t waiting to run when my back is turned. I know I don’t deserve you, that most people only get one shot at love. If they blow it, that’s it. I forced you to give me a second and third shot. I’ll keep asking you for chances because we will never be over. I want legal ties.”
“Legal—?” she began, but her voice cut off as his meaning penetrated.
“You’re not a part of our world. That’s why Dad and I are drawn to you. Innocence, loyalty, purity and love. You remind me of my mom. You have her spirit. She kept my dad grounded. I lost it when you left. Suddenly, I looked forward to dealing out punishments, to sowing fear into the slums. I had nothing to lose, nothing to go home to and then I found you.” His eyes flashed with a rage so potent that goosebumps rose over her arms. “I haven’t had a weakness for them to exploit until now. Your kidnap was a test to see how I’d react. Their orders were to grab you, ask for ransom and see how quickly I’d react to get the money together, to get you back. You were never supposed to be touched. Someone’s fucking with me and everything in me wants to retaliate but I have to pass that duty onto someone else. I can be content with those worthless fuck’s deaths because I have what I want. You’re everything I’ve ever wanted. What I want for my future flows through you so I’ll pay the price, whatever it is, to have you.”
Lyla reached for him and he came towards her, a wild rush of man, power and need. He kissed her hard, punishing and cherishing at the same time. His hands roamed over her, digging into flesh, clutching at her clothes. With an angry growl, he set her on the desk. She grabbed his shoulders for balance as he lifted her dress and spread her legs. She had only a moments warning before his cock sank into her. She moaned into his mouth as he slid slowly but inexorably into her. He didn’t stop until he sheathed himself completely. When he yanked her jacket off, the condoms fell out of her pocket and bounced on the desk. Gavin pulled back from the kiss to yank her dress straps down and spotted them.
“No,” he growled as her dress pooled around her waist and he unsnapped her bra.
“No?” she gasped as he sucked on her pulse and pulled her tight against him.
“No condoms, no IUD.” He raised his head. “You should take your mom’s advice. Hook me, Lyla.”
“A baby?” she asked, mind whirling.
“We’re going all the way this time. My ring on your finger, my baby planted in your belly. No half measures. You agreed, baby girl.”
“When did I agree to all of that?” she demanded and bit back a moan.
He gripped her hair as he powered into her, hard strokes that left her gasping for more.
“You agreed to stay with me. Permanently. You think I’d stop at anything but having you bound to me every way possible?”
“But I didn’t know—” She let out a short scream and convulsed around him as she climaxed.
Gavin held back as he watched her come apart for him. When she was weak and trembling in his arms, he began to move again.
“You’re trying to kill me,” she moaned, grimacing against the nearly painful aftershocks.
“No, I’m greedy,” he corrected as he lifted her thighs so he could go deeper. He bared his teeth as he thrust. “If you’re pregnant, I’d be fucking ecstatic. That loyalty you have towards your parents, I want it. Ineedit.”
“You have it.”
“No.” He bit her bottom lip and tugged, but didn’t break the skin as he had in the kitchen. “I don’t have your loyalty yet, but I will. You’re still unsure of me. We’ll work past that.”
Gavin’s hands moved to her clit. She jumped and tried to pull his hand away.
“I can’t!” she groaned, head tucked under his chin.
“You will,” he decreed. “Come with me, baby girl.”
He knew just how to stroke and how much pressure to use. Lyla erupted again and this time he came with her, driving himself as deep as possible and then slumping over her, head resting on her chest as she sprawled on his desk. They stayed that way for a long minute before Gavin disengaged and carried her upstairs. They settled in bed, facing one another. That awful tension shimmering in the air around him dissipated.
Lyla stroked his cheek and watched his eyes close as if her touch brought him unspeakable joy. Her throat clogged with tears. “I love you, Gavin. Too much.”
His eyes snapped opened. “You can never love me too much.”
“It scares the hell out of me.”
He clasped her face. “Say it.”
“I love you.”
“Again.”
“I love you.”
