“I—I don’t know what to say.”

“How about those three words you mouthed to me before you let that asshole take you away a few minutes ago?”

My breath caught, heat surging up my neck and all the way to the tips of my ears.

“Let me refresh your memory. It started with anIand ended with ayou.” A cute smirk pursed his lips. “I said it first actually…”

My heart staggered on a beat, warmth flooding my veins. “Oh, did you? I don’t think I remember the exact words. Maybe you can remind me?”

He leaned in close, his lips a heartbeat away from mine. He inhaled deeply, as if he were memorizing my scent.

“I said I love you, Lorelei, and I fucking meant it. There’s no more pretending here. In the past few months, you’ve become everything to me. And I’ll be damned if I’ll just sit here and let Brock Haversham take what’s mine. Because you, Lorelei Battenberg, are mine.” His lips devoured mine with the intensity of a raging storm. His fingers curled into my hair, fisting the long strands, tilting my head to deepen the kiss. He ripped his lips away for an instant, eyes wild. “Never run away from me again, do you understand?”

I nodded, my body shifting into autopilot.

“Now, I’m going to fuck you right here in the middle of this hallway, and I don’t give a shit who sees because I want everyone to know you’re mine. And once I’ve had you coming all over my cock, you will tell me what the fuck is happening with Brock and why the hell you think you need to protect me.” His hand skimmed up the inside of my thigh, finding my panties. “This pussy is mine, mine to fuck and mine to protect, not the other way around. Do you understand?”

My head bobbed again as his hand dipped beneath my billowing gown and he began to run his finger across my drenched thong. He shoved the flimsy silk aside, and I made quick work of his belt buckle and slacks. His cock sprang free, already rock-hard.

A groan rumbled in my throat at the sight of him. Only a few days, and already I’d missed him so much. It wasn’t just the mind-blowing sex, but the comfort of feeling him inside me. I’d never felt so connected, so adored and complete as when he filled me with his cock.

He ran his free hand down my ass, lifting my thigh to hook it onto his hip. Baring my pussy, he angled himself at my entrance. “Are you ready for me, baby?”

“Mmm, yes,” I groaned.

He teased my clit with his cock, running his thick head across my slick entrance. His eyes met mine, wild with lust but also something deeper. That damned L word that had ruined me. How could I protect him now? “Promise me you’ll tell me everything?” he growled.

“I promise, Axel, please, I just need you inside me. Now.”

“Deal.” He thrust his hips, filling me to the hilt and a rush of pleasure raged through nerve endings I didn’t even know existed. “Oh, fuck, Lore, you feel so good.” He drove deeper, his finger circling my clit as he plunged harder, faster.

Since we were in the middle of a pretty public corridor, back of the house or not, a quickie was necessary. Which wouldn’t be a problem because I was already teetering on the edge of sanity with each pump. I reached between our bodies and stroked his balls, earning a groan of approval.

“I missed you so much,” I rasped against his mouth as he ravaged my lips.

“Me too, Lore.” He nibbled on my bottom lip, snagging it between his teeth. “Now be a good girl and come on my cock already.”

His hand moved from the back of my head to my breast, and he teased my nipple into a hard peak. The rush of sensations consuming my body was too much.

“I love you,” he panted against my lips. “Those were the three words I wanted to hear out loud.”

“Right…” I murmured before capturing his lips once more. “I…”

He thrust again, and my nails dug into the back of his neck.

“Love…”

His finger drew wicked circles around my clit, driving me closer to the edge. Heat prickled through every inch, and my eyes rolled back.

“You, Axel!” I moaned as the orgasm rocked through me, my head falling back. An explosion of pure pleasure throttled my veins, filling me with warmth from the base of my spine down to my toes.

He fell next, his warm cum spilling down my leg as he let loose with a feral growl. “You’re mine, Lorelei. And I’ll do whatever it takes to keep it that way.” His lips brushed my forehead as tremors of raw desire vibrated through our bodies. “Mine, forever.”
