I slipped my fingers from her and she shifted, turning to face me. Her hands landed on my shoulders as I guided myself to her entrance.
We both moaned as I slid deep inside.
Her legs wrapped around my waist, her hips thrusting to meet mine as I brought her mouth to mine.
Water sloshed over the sides of the tub, soaking the floor as we moved, both of us desperate to feel one another in this moment. Both of us chasing the feeling of ecstasy together, reminding us we were still here, that we were both still alive.
That we were here together.
Lennox’s nails dug into my back as I braced my hands on her hips and thrusted upward.
“Fuck,” Lennox swore, her forehead resting against my shoulder. I thrust faster, causing the water to splash between us as Lennox screamed, her body clenching around me.
“That’s it, Sweetheart. Keep squeezing the life out of my cock.” She threw her head back as she continued to tremble in my arms.
I didn’t stop my thrusts, my hands digging into her hips so hard it might leave a mark, the only marks she should have, marks claiming her as mine.
Her breasts bounced as I continued to move us. “Giveme one more, Lennox.” I bent my head and took her breast in my mouth.
I flicked my tongue over the sensitive bud before pulling it between my teeth. Incoherent curses slipped from her lips as she continued to bounce on my lap.
I removed my mouth from her breast. “If I didn’t think Nico would burst in here at any moment, I’d drink from your perfect pink nipple.” I flicked my tongue over the bud again. “But we don’t have time for that right now.”
“Later,” Lennox panted, staring at me with hooded eyes.
“Later, Sweetheart.” I threw her a wink before biting down on her other nipple, causing her to whimper. Goddess above, I had missed this. “And that’s a promise.”
My hand slipped between us, finding her clit.
She came again with a moan and I fell over the edge with her, holding her limp body as she collapsed against me.
“Remind me to thank Nico for the tub idea,” she panted.
“You will not be thanking Nico for any such thing.” I placed a kiss on her forehead. “He’s already got a big enough head.”

LENNOX
More than half an hour later, Luka and I made our way downstairs, hand in hand. Finding everyone else had already begun eating without us.
“You can thank me later,” Luce started before we could sit down. “If it wasn’t for me, Nico would have interrupted the two of you.” She popped a piece of fruit into her mouth.
“I warned them!” Nico protested.
“Thank you, Luce,” I said before Nico could delve any deeper into his side of the argument.
I really was thankful—for all of them. I needed extra time with Luka. For the distraction from my mind when he saw my scars. I hadn’t even let myself look at them yet. I wasn’t ready to deal with what happened with Adreona, not yet. I knew I’d need to, but not yet. Now—now I wanted to enjoy being reunited with my family.
Luka held out my chair so I could sit before taking the seat next to me. “Thank you all,” I tucked my hair behind my ear, “For coming for me and getting Nol out of there.” I glanced at my brother.
“How are you doing? I’m sorry I haven’t been able tosee you yet.” Guilt washed over me.Fuck.He had been a captive for three years, and I hadn’t even thought to check in on him when I woke.
“I’m fine.” He pushed his food around his plate. “Luce and Kara have hardly left my side, and you have no reason to feel guilty for being unconscious.”
“I’m assuming you’ve met everyone?”
“I have.” Nol brows rose. “It’s quite the group you’ve assembled here, Len.”
