He’d been right that facing my fear was the only way to conquer it. He hadn’t seen me as the murderer I’d feared he would when he heard my story. Instead, he comforted me and understood as completely as anyone could.
His gentle lovemaking last night had confirmed the connection I craved. Yesterday, I wouldn’t have believed it possible to fall completely for a man in a week’s time. This morning I knew it was true. I loved Duke Hawk, bossiness, scars, and all.
Last night, he hadn’t wanted to share about his past with Dad, and after all I’d put us through with my horrid truth, I’d agreed.
It didn’t matter when we got to it. Duke had completely replaced my father as the man central to my well-being, central to my future.
Future. That was a concept we hadn’t explored, but in my bones, I felt we had one, and it would be marvelous. How could it not be with this man?
Feeling his morning wood against me, I made a decision and turned over. “Morning, sleepyhead.”
His eyes blinked open as he stretched. “Good morning, Snuggles. How are you feeling?”
There was my compassionate man. I answered by grabbing hold of Rex. “I need something.”
“Really?” He rolled us, landing on top of me. And there was my caveman, always taking control.
I pushed at him with no effect. “I want to be on top.” It was important that I have some control, and it was the one position in the whole book we hadn’t done yet. “And I want something else.”
“Gimme this, gimme that,” he mimicked in falsetto.
“It’s not like that, and you know it.”
“Okay, baby.” He rolled us so I was on top.
I got my knees under me and straddled him.
He groaned when I rubbed myself along his length. “What else is it you want?”
“It’s a negative want,” I said as I slid my folds over his tip.
“You’re killing me here.”
I leaned over and whispered in his ear. “No condom.”
He jerked under me. “Are you sure? I mean, I’m clean, but…are you absofuckinglutely sure?”
“After George, I got tested. I haven’t been with anyone since, and I get a contraceptive shot.”
He watched me, his eyes asking what his lips wouldn’t.
I lifted up and positioned his head at my entrance. “I’m sure.” I lowered myself slowly down his length, taking every glorious inch of him. He was so hard for me and gloriously thick as he filled me completely.
His jaw clenched as his hips lifted into me. “Oh, baby. You have no idea how good you feel.”
I lifted up and plunged down, rolling my hips. I was in control, complete control.
I let his hands guide me up and down, again and again, each of us groaning with the pleasure of skin-to-skin sensations. I reached behind me to grab his balls. He grunted, pleasure or pain, I didn’t know, but he didn’t tell me to let go. We were in it together, stroke for stroke, but I was driving this bus. Letting go of his balls, I leaned over to offer my breasts, to tease him with access to my nipples.
As I neared the precipice and pleasure radiated to every cell of my body, I took his hand and guided him to where we were joined. He found my clit, and with his talented fingers, took me up and over the edge, bliss ripping through me with amazing force. Powering up into me, he found his own release. With a roar, his entire body shook. I felt the repeated throbs of his cock as he poured into me.
When the waves receded, I collapsed forward on him and panted out the words that I knew were a risk. “I’m falling for you, Duke Hawk.” I didn’t dare say what I really meant.
I waited several long seconds and worried I’d blown up my chance with him. It had been less than ten days since I’d re-met Duke and learned his last name. Things had moved lightning fast. Had I made the biggest mistake of my life with a proclamation he wasn’t ready for?
But then he smiled. “I’m falling for you too, Snuggles.”
I didn’t need any words beyond those. Still panting, I pulled his chin to face me and kissed my man. It was a new day, and yes, I was officially his and he was officially mine. Bold had paid off.
