I’m speechless. This is more than I ever could have hoped for.
“When you offered to use yourself as bait…” his voice trails off and he shakes his head. “It was ridiculous, but I understood how deeply you wanted to be a part of this. This is the only way to do it and keep you safe. But the impact you would have will be meaningful at the same time.”
I’m at a loss for words, and Vincent frowns.
“If you don’t want to, just say no and we can?—”
“Ridiculous man,” I murmur, before standing on my tiptoes to kiss him. He responds in kind, growling into my mouth and spinning me around until I’m back against the car.
I kiss him until I have to pull away to breathe. “I can’t believe you did this for me,” I whisper, my lips only inches from his. “You’re incredible.”
“I don’t dress up without a reason,” he says against my lips. “I had to charm some people to land you a spot at the conference.”
“Mmm. Do you ever plan on using those charms on me?” I tease, elated beyond belief at what he’s done for me.
“Once I get you home, if you’re good,” he smirks.
I swat at his arm, and he gifts me with a smile. Then, he presses his nose to my neck and inhales. “You smell like coffee and vanilla,” he murmurs.
“Is that a good thing?” I ask, closing my eyes as he presses a kiss to my throat.
“You smell like my two favorite things, so I’d say yes.”
“Coffee and vanilla?”
“Coffee and you.” His hands grip my waist as I wrap my arms around his neck, sighing at the touch. “The moment I scented you, I wanted to taste you, as insane as it sounds.”
My cunt pulses in my jeans. “It doesn’t,” I admit. “I thought you were attractive, too. It made me angry that you were such a dick to me.”
He presses his forehead to mine and exhales. “I wish I could take it back,” he says. “I regret that I ever talked to you that way.”
“You’re making up for it now,” I promise him. “Vincent, I can’t thank you enough for this. For everything you’ve done for me.”
His hands travel up my sides, and I whimper at his touch. “I don’t want to watch the guilt consume you,” he murmurs. “Not when you’ve made it this far. Don’t let it, Skylar.”
I bring my lips to his again. “I promise I’ll try,” I whisper when I pull away.
He nods. “Let’s get you home,” he says.
“Okay,” I breathe. “And Vincent?”
“Yes?”
“You’re sharing my nest with me tonight.”

VINCENT
I’ll never get tired of kissing her.
She kisses me like she’ll never do it again; like it’s the last time she’ll see me, even though I plan on staying by her side as long as she’ll have me.
And I finally have her all to myself.
I press her against the wall of her front room, and she moans into my mouth.
It drives me fucking crazy.
