Page 74 of Brooks

Brooks slowly pulled out and eased back in. Over and over. His unhurried strokes were building something deep.

“I’m not letting you go after this mission is over.”

“Okay,” I agreed.

“You’re staying with the team.”

“Okay.”

He hadn’t stopped moving, not his cock as it tunneled in and out of me. Not his hand on my face that caressed my cheek, and not his other hand that was flexing as he held my thigh.

“Brooks,” I panted. “More.”

The force of his thrust increased and my orgasm was approaching.

“I’m falling for you,” he whispered.

“Okay…What?” I tried my best to focus on his face through my haze of desire. “What did you say?”

He dropped to his elbow, giving me more of his weight. “I said,” he started, and kissed my forehead before he continued, “I’m falling for you.”

My rapidly-beating heart was now threatening to seize. “What does that mean?”

“Haven’t you been listening?” He smiled.

“Um. No.”

“I’ve been talking.”

“For future reference, if you want to have a talk where I pay attention and participate in the talk, you shouldn’t have it while you’re fucking me.”

“I’m not fucking you, Doll.” Now I was really confused. And the orgasm that had been building was retreating. “This is us, talking about something important while we make love.”

“Make love?”

“I’m speaking English, baby.”

“I know that—” Brooks slammed into me, cutting off my snarky comment. “Oh, God.”

Gone was the leisurely pace. My back arched, my hips lifted to meet him, and my orgasm was racing forward.

“You gonna stay with me?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Not good enough.” He slowed. “Tell me.”

“I’m gonna stay with you.”

“I’m not gonna let you go,” he warned.

“Okay.”

“Tatiana, I’m gonna hold you to it. You’re mine.”

He pushed his face into my throat and kissed me there. I couldn’t help it, I snapped. I loved the feel of his mouth on my skin, his weight and heat surrounding me—overwhelming me. I felt safe and protected. Wanted. Sexy. Loved. My hands groped at his back trying to find purchase, my ankles crossed, and my heels dug into his lower back.

“I’m falling for you, too,” I told him.
