Derek could very well strangle her, but she was still her own person despite a very overprotective boyfriend, and she could damn well make her own decisions.
“I’ll do it.”
Staring at the closed door,Sophie thought sadly that Derek did not strangle her; he walked out on her.
* * *
Sophie wokeand checked the clock by the nightstand. She could have sworn she heard a loud noise. It was 2:00 a.m. and Derek had been gone for almost eight hours. She heard footsteps shuffle to the bedroom. Was he drunk? Tempted as she was to check on him, she was still angry he took off the way he did. He had shown her so much patience in the past two weeks, she was surprised how easy it was to talk to him and just be around him. And now with the biggest discussion of their lives, he just disappeared. Yes, she was still mad at him. Sophie pretended to be asleep.
Which was why it was a shock when the blanket was yanked off from her and she was flipped on her front, Derek’s weight fell on her back and pressed her into the mattress.
“Derek, what?” she gasped.
She felt his warm breath fan her cheeks; he reeked of scotch.
“Need to fuck you hard,” he growled as he ripped her panties away and she immediately felt her nipples pebble, warmth pooling between her thighs. He cupped her mound before ruthlessly pushing a finger into her, his thumb rubbing her until she got so wet. “All I want to do is keep you from harm, Sophie, why won’t you let me?” he whispered hoarsely. Oh god, that felt so good, she thought as Derek ground his hardness against her ass while vigorously fingering her slick, drenched opening.
Sophie couldn’t help the moan of pleasure from escaping her lips and that was enough to set Derek off. He worked his erection free and shoved so hard inside her, they both yelled.
“Ahh, fuck Angel,” Derek grunted into her neck, as his arm encircled her waist, hauling her against him, his other arm fully extended on her side to support them as he rammed his cock over and over inside her, his hips hitting her ass, the carnal sound of flesh slapping against flesh resonating in the room. Derek’s grunts of pleasure as he powered inside her, so guttural and primal, spurred her own arousal making her mindless with need. She was about to hit her peak when he groaned almost as if in anguish: “Not enough, not deep enough.”
He withdrew, flipped her quickly on her back, spread her thighs, ruthlessly exposing her before he slammed back inside her.
“Derek! I’m coming,” Sophie cried, digging her nails into his shoulders. Her orgasm, when it hit her, was incandescent, she felt like a super nova reaching critical mass and shattering into a million pulsating stars. She felt her sex spasming even as his cock continued to pound inside her.
“You’re never leaving me, Sophie.”
Sophie opened her eyes to see Derek staring down at her with an almost feral look that made her breath hitch. Animalistic possession. He moved above her, his cock hardening to that point of rapture, and Sophie marveled at the beautiful man who was claiming every inch of her.
“You’re mine!” Derek shouted.
“Mine!” he repeated as he thrust harder. “Damn you. You’re mine. Mine.” His choked, strangled voice touched her soul and for the first time, Sophie fully understood his consuming need for her. Because at this moment, she felt the same. She needed him. Completely. Desperately.
Derek squeezed his eyes shut as the intensity of his climax rippled through his body. He rocked into her one more time before he froze and the warm gush of his cum filled her. Yes, she was unequivocally his.
Derek untangled their limbs and collapsed beside her, not moving. He had never taken her with such ferocity and at first it frightened her, but she knew he would never hurt her no matter how drunk or angry he was. She snuck a peek at him and frowned. Asleep? He was asleep? He fell asleep on her after giving her the best orgasm of her life?
Shaking her head with amusement, she took pity on him and did her best to make him more comfortable, managing to pull his pants off. Then she crawled up beside him and stared down at his sleeping face—so relaxed now in repose. Sophie felt her heart swell in her chest. She was in love with this man. With a finger, she lightly traced the outline of his forehead, down his nose before resting on his lips. She kissed him lightly and whispered, “Just so you know, I love you too.”

Derek blinkedhis eyes open and felt the disgusting after-effects of a hangover.Not again. The last time he felt this way, he nearly lost Sophie. He noticed he was in the shirt he wore yesterday. What had happened? He remembered calling Jack and ending up in his penthouse. Maia left them to commiserate with each other after a couple of drinks and the conversation veered to how their women were screwing with their heads, and they should have said heads examined.
After he nearly passed out on Jack’s couch, Maia drove him home. He had no idea how she managed to get him into his building, but he suspected his building’s concierge might have helped.
He reached out to Sophie’s side of the bed and felt nothing but cold and empty space. Derek shot up in bed, his head was pounding and he was panicking. Where was she? Memories of the night before—or this morning—came back in flashes. He took her ruthlessly. Did he force her? His stomach roiled as he made his way out of the bedroom.
“Sophie!” Derek yelled. She was not in the kitchen or the living room. The coffee was made, but she was not in the condo. Cursing, he ran back to the bathroom, splashed water on his face and rinsed his mouth. He quickly donned a pair of jeans and made his way back to the kitchen. He was about to punch her number on his phone when he heard the door open.
Sophie walked in with a box of bagels.
“Oh good, you’re awake,” she said, smiling at him. When Derek just stared at her, she crinkled her brows and said, “Bad hangover?”
The overwhelming sense of relief he felt nearly brought him to his knees. She had not left him after all.
“Derek?”
“I thought you left me,” Derek whispered, moving toward her. He clasped the back of her neck and pulled her gently to him, resting her head just below his chin. “Don’t leave me, Angel. I love you so much.”
