I taste her fear like it’s my own. It rips me apart, utterly and completely. But my need to protect her also makes me stronger, a soldier who’d kill anyone who tries to hurt her.
Most of my life, I’ve worried about taking the leap and falling for a woman. I’ve always kept my distance, to protect them from me, finding it difficult to see myself as anything but my father’s son. But lately, I’ve come to realize there’s no way we’re alike. How can we be if I never saw him worry or care for my mother? The only priority he ever had was finding new ways to beat her down. She was his toy, nothing more.
I can’t see myself ever treating Lilah that way. I’d cut off my arms before I lay a finger on her. Whenever I see her in pain, it makes me vengeful. The need within me to slice, to burn, to obliterate anyone who causes her suffering becomes undeniable whenever she hurts.
We may share some of the same DNA, my father and I, but we’re two different people. We have to be. I have to believe that.
I grab her hand and bring it to my lips, pressing a soft kiss to her palm. Finally relaxed, she lifts her head, a pained smile on her beautiful face.
I bring her hand up to my chest so she can feel my heart beating for her. “I’ll keep you safe. Do you hear me? You’re not alone anymore. I’ll be here for your worst days and your best days. I’m not going anywhere. Ever. You have me.”
Her fingers reach out and glide against the outer edges of my lips. Closing my eyes, I revel in her touch, craving more. Her fingers are suddenly replaced by the warmth of her lips as she kisses me slow, as if learning my mouth for the first time. I let her take control, let her take whatever she wants because all I am is hers.
As we separate, our eyes connect and it’s as though they’re speaking a language of their own, lost in each other’s pain and need. “I never believed in fate but then came you,” she says, caressing my face. “You’ve been sent to me and I never want to give you back. You overshadow all the awfulness that has been my life for too long.” Her words are like fuel for my damaged heart. “You’re everything I need, Damian, and soon it’ll be just us.”
I never imagined I’d feel the raw power of those words being uttered to me by a woman, especially one I want this much. Maybe being with her would be easier if it wasn’t filled with all these complications, but nothing worth a damn is ever easy. And she’s worth all this shit. So even knowing everything I know now, I still want her because this woman, she’s everything.
I grab her waist and flip her on top of me, needing her close. My eyes roam her face, tracing every line, inscribing her beauty into my subconscious. “You’re everything I wished for but never thought I’d have. You’ve turned my world upside down without even knowing.”
Her breaths turn shallow as she leans forward connecting our bodies until our lips connect the same. This time it isn’t slow. We kiss hard and deep, our tongues colliding, creating a life of their own. Our fingers claw at our skin, wanting our bodies to be just as close.
She brings out the needy bastard in me. My hunger for her is carnal, the fire burns so strong nothing could ever destroy its power.
Her hips rock back and forth as she straddles my legs tightly within hers. Her tongue scans across mine and I thrust my erection against her, swallowing a whimper. Clutching the back of her head, I pull her closer, deepening our kiss, never wanting it to stop. Her hands grip my T-shirt as she moans my name, and that sound is better than anything in this damn world.
“You own me, you know that?” I whisper across her lips.
She pulls away just a little and gazes into my eyes. “I better.” Her mouth lifts into a sexy smirk matching mine.
I clutch the back of her head. “You better, huh?”
She pants, the smile now gone. “That’s right,” she mutters.
I bring her closer. “Don’t worry, baby. You’ll own me until the day that I die.” Her mouth lands hard on mine and our kiss turns savage once again. She fists my shirt with both hands while her hips grind against my hard-on.
Her long nails dig into my skin as she says, “I need you, Damian.” I need her too. So badly. I want to watch that face twist in pleasure the first time I thrust inside her. “Oh God— this is...this is better than my fantasies,” she whispers.
Wait? What was that?I pull back a little to peer at her. “You’ve touched yourself thinking of me?” I growl.
Eyes hooded, her tongue darts out licking her lips. “I’ve fingered myself to you so many times I’ve lost count.”
Oh damn. That’s all it takes to send me over the edge.
I stand, lifting her with me. Her hands clench my hair as her raspy voice asks, “Where are we going?”
“My bed, baby girl.” She leans into me and kisses my chest, while I indulge in the feel of her in my arms.
Once we reach my bedroom, I turn on the light and toss her gently on top of my bed. Lowering down, I settle my weight over her body, loving the feel of her fingers sinking into the flesh of my back.
Her hands land on my biceps as she strokes them. Grazing her cheek with the back of my hand, I peer down at her, tasting her hunger as it echoes mine. “I want you, baby, so much.” Her pulse rages against my lips as I kiss up her neck. “But I’ll take anything I can get. And right now,” my thumb brushes against her bottom lip, “that’s you coming all over my mouth.” She gasps and I don’t give her a second to do anything else as my mouth swallows her groans.Yeah baby, this is happening.
I grind my dick in between her thighs as she wraps her legs around my hips, pushing us closer together. “I’m trying so hard not to fuck you,” my lips graze against hers, “but damn it you make it difficult. If you only knew all the ways I wanna make you come.” She curses, biting her lip, making my dick flinch in response.
I keep my eyes on hers as I slowly kiss my way down the center of her body until I reach her jeans. She cups her breasts as she watches me pop open the button and lower down her zipper. Squirming underneath me, almost breathless, she arches into my touch. “Eager, aren’t we?” I give her my cockiest smile before going down and licking the skin right above her sheer, white, lace panties.
She grabs my head, nails digging into my scalp, her voice unrecognizable. “You’re torturing me.”Hell yeah, I am.
I climb back up her body, lowering myself on top of her. “And I’m loving every second.” I stroke her cheek with my thumb, edging closer until I kiss the lips that make me hard as a rock every time she bites them. Her tongue fights mine, punishing me for not finishing what I’ve started. Our hungry moans and tangled limbs feed our kiss as it grows more demanding.
