“You want to change your mind, but you haven’t. You want me. I can see it in your eyes despite your lying lips. Well, I’m right here. I want this. I want you. I want you to teach me. I want to be your legacy.” I took a step forward. “Ray—”
“Don’t.” He closed his eyes and shook his head at the floor. “Jesus Christ, don’t.”
I took another step and then another until we were chest to chest. He opened his eyes when he felt my fingers unclasp the buttons of his pants.
“Stop,” he hissed. I ignored him and resumed my workings until I freed his rock-hard cock from his briefs. He opened his eyes and glared down at me. I gripped him hard. “I’m going to give you what you paid for, and you’re going to give me what you promised.” I did what I thought felt right and pulled at his cock like Laz taught me. Ray gripped the back of my head as I stroked him.
“I want this, Ray.”
I moved in and kissed his jaw. His posture was stone, his breathing labored. “Show me how to please you,” I whispered between kisses along his neck.
I gripped his hand and brought it to my middle. Ray snapped. A hungry mouth landed on my shoulder as he spread me with angry fingers and plunged two in my wet center.
His touch was deep and seductive. I moaned as his fingers fucked me and pulled a sharp gasp from within. He ripped his lips away from my neck.
“Goddamn you.”
He gripped me hard and pulled me up to straddle him before he walked us to the bed. We landed in a heap, tasting, touching, both needy for the other. I wanted to feel the way I had months ago, but I hated his hesitance, his disgust. He twisted my head and spent minutes on my neck before his kiss trailed down my body.
“Ray.” It was a breathy whisper. He moved away from me and pulled off his shirt. Completely bared to me, he looked down at the bed, and I spread my legs wide. He cursed again as he rejoined me, his hands snaked underneath my back and moved up to grip my shoulders. The tip of his cock nudged me before he pressed all the way in. We both moaned out at the feel as he hovered above me. I moved and twisted at the slight discomfort, and he stilled me with his mouth on mine. It felt so natural, so right. Ray moved inside of me, hard and punishing as I wrapped my legs around him and gripped his head. We got lost in our hunger, our anger, until he spent
himself. Gasping for air, we lay in a naked pile on my bed. His heavy breath covered my chest as my heart hammered against his.
Maybe it was wrong in the eyes of others. But I saw it differently. He was a lonely man. A sordid king of a cold castle and I was a lost girl who desperately needed the promise of a future and the safety of his kingdom. Everything about my future depended on the whims of the angry king.
“Taylor, line one.”
I was just about to fire Ross when she chimed in, “It’s the attorney, Ms. Adler.”
“Taylor Ellison.”
“Hi, Ms. Ellison. I just wanted to let you know that we’ve managed to secure a date in Dyer with the family court. Things are progressing faster that I’d expected, but this is a good sign.”
“When?”
“Six weeks. Chances are, with Amber’s established residence, your reputation, and financial situation, not to mention Mr. Walker’s record, we should have little issue bringing Joseph across state lines.”
“Thank you.”
“I’ll keep you updated. I’ve already spoken with Amber.”
I sat back in my chair and sighed. I had six weeks to prepare for all hell breaking loose. If I didn’t go back with Amber, I risked the safety of both her and Joseph. There was no way we would make it over the Tennessee state line with Joseph. Amber was announced and walked through my door minutes later. She had a healthy glow, and the expression on her face was purely joyful.
“Six weeks! Can you believe it? I’ve upped my meetings to six a week, and it’s paying off.”
“That’s great, really,” I said absently, my head somewhere between hope and dread. Amber paused at my door. “I thought you’d be happy about that.”
“I am. Really, Amber.”
“It’s Laz.” She sighed. “You’re still angry.”
“Not at all.” I met her timid gaze across the space. “But I think we should bring Cedric with us and hire more security. Does Laz know there is a court date?”
“I haven’t told him. But the minute we get back, he will know.”
“Keep it quiet for now. But update him on your other progress and meetings.”
“Okay.”
