I scooped her up with one arm, and carried her to the bathroom with my fingers buried in that perfect little body.
Her breathless laughter made me fucking ache.
I had almostlostthis.
I was never letting go of her again.
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
bloom
Maverick pinnedme to the shower wall and kissed me hard. My bare ass pressed against one of his forearms while my heels dug into his lower back, and he fucked me with his fingers. The t-shirt I’d woken up in clung to my skin thanks to the water we’d stepped under, and his boxer-briefs were soaked too.
Our tongues fought, my hips arching and rocking as I chased my first climax.
His kiss was almost as brutal as his touch, and it waseverything.
I came quickly. Too quickly.
It wasn’t enough.
“I want you, Mav.”
He adjusted his grip on me for long enough to pull his fingers free and shove his boxer briefs down. His cock met my entrance, and I gasped into his mouth as he thrust into me, slowly at first.
When it was clear that my body offered no resistance, he drove in the rest of the way, filling me completely in a single, rough motion.
I stopped breathing.
Saw stars.
Touched heaven.
He swore viciously against my lips, pausing as his chest heaved.
His fingers gripped my ass and thighs.
Mine dug into his shoulder and pulled his hair tightly.
Our foreheads pressed together, our breaths mingling as we struggled for air.
“You feel...” I struggled to remember what I was going to say.
“Yeah. That’s really fucking good.” His voice strained. “Not sure if I’m going to knot you.”
“Knotme?”
“Yeah.” He let out a slow breath against my lips. “Fated and unmated is a gray area. Could go either way. Kind of feels like I might.”
“What does that mean?”
“Fuck.” He filled me again slowly, and my nails dug into his skin a little harder.
“Maverick.”
“Yeah?”
“There was something about a knot.”
