“I knew I had to have you,” he growls. “I didn’t know who you were at first. I thought Lena must’ve come to Malta with some friend. The last time I saw you, you were a kid with braces and a shy look on your face. Now you’re… Fuck, Kelly, now you’re twenty and you’re curvy and you’re so damn womanly you make me want to roar.”
I grip the edge of the table to stop my hands from shaking, to try and stop the lust from making a scorching path through me, but it’s difficult as all my nerves start to pulse.
Signals flare in my mind, telling me to leap across the table and sit on his lap, grind my still-wet sex against his manhood, let him feel how desperately I want to give myself to him.
“But it wasn’t just lust,” he says firmly. “It was so much more. I can’t explain it. I’ve never felt anything like this before.”
I stare, captivated, the sunlight resting on his face, making his eyes glint with even more feral fury.
“What else?” I whimper, my voice shivering as much as my body, as my resolve.
It’s difficult to keep Lena at the forefront of my mind, to remember all the thousand moments we’ve shared that should make this impossible.
I remember how she wept when her mother died, how I held her on the playground and made a daisy chain to try and cheer her up.
“I knew I had to own you.”
He clenches his fists, leaning forward like he’s ready to hurt any man who’d try to come between us.
But what can he do about Lena?
“It wasn’t just my need to claim you, to push inside of you until I can feel how hungrily your body wants to cream for me. It wasn’t just my desire to bend you over and stroke my cock against your clit until you’re begging for it…”
His smirk twitches when I make a moaning sound, squeezing my legs together.
It’s like he triggers something inside of me every time he speaks, as though he’s reaching into my mind and tugging at the threads of my fiercest desires, repeating them back to me in a way only my lifetime lover could.
My forever man.
Mine.
Does he want the same?
“It’s so hard not to get carried away with you.” He sucks in a shivering breath. “The second – and I mean the moment – I laid eyes on you, I knew we were going to be a family. I knew we were going to be together forever. I knew we were destined to have children and… and it’s a fucking compulsion inside of me, Kelly. It’s like something ancient and primal is roaring at me to paint your womb with my seed.”
He trails off, laughing, shaking his head.
“Does that make any goddamn sense?”
“Yes,” I cry, nodding firmly. “It does. Of course, it does.”
“Of course?” He raises an eyebrow. “It doesn’t seem so obvious to me. And that, and that…”
His chest is heaving, every part of him primed like a hunter from thirty thousand years ago, stalking a shadowed forest as though he’s getting ready to take down a giant beast all by himself, as though he’s getting ready to drag a fresh kill back to the cave and feed me, us, our family.
“And what?” I whisper.
He reaches across the table and takes my hand, squeezing it as softly as he’s able. But even so, I feel all the pent-up pressure in his touch, as though any second he could drag me back to the couch and bend me over.
Then he’d drive up inside of me, even as I tell him I’m not ready, even as I tell him I don’t want to disappoint him.
Even as I tell him we’re betraying Lena.
The messiness of this situation thunders into me as he stares, eyes intense and dreamy, pinning me in place.
“Your virginity makes me want you more,” he snarls. “It means no other man has ever got to feel your precious pussy. It means that when I take you – hard, like the fucking beast I am – I’ll be the only man you’ll ever feel inside of you. When I say I’m claiming you, sweet Kelly, I mean it. I mean you belong to me. And your slit most of all.”
I gasp and squeeze down.
“This is the part where you call me crazy,” he says.
“No.” I shake my head firmly. “Those thoughts, those crazy thoughts you say you’ve been having… I’ve had them too. It’s like this swirling need inside of me. It’s like my body is sending me messages. How crazy is that, Kane?”
“I would’ve thought I was bat-shit before I laid eyes on you.” His thumb strokes tantalizingly across my knuckles. “But now? Not so much. I don’t know what’s happening between us, but it’s big. It’s important.”
