“I feel like I’ve just done five days’ worth of crunches,” she admitted through gritted teeth.
I snorted humorlessly. “Yeah, vomiting for hours on end can be quite a workout.”
“I was fucked, wasn’t I?” Her lips played against my neck as she spoke, the sensation shooting little electrical bolts straight to my manhood.
My fingers danced across her bare back. Mom had helped to get her into a pair of sleep shorts and a cropped top. I was trying not to let myself get carried away, but her skin felt so soft under my fingertips and I couldn’t help the trance that they left me in as my hands brushed across her skin.
“That feels good,” she murmured.
“How’s the rest of your body feel?” I asked softly, massaging at the base of her spine. I swear I could almost hear her purring like a cat.
“Broken.”
I stilled. I’d done this, I’d let her feel like she needed to prove something, and because I was an asshole she’d almost died.
Moving my hand up her back, I used it to cup the back of her head. My fingers tightened gently in her hair, and I used the pressure to pull her face back so our eyes met. In that moment, it was like I was looking at her for the first time. Even with the dark circles under her eyes and her cracked lips, she was fucking beautiful. Her wide hazel eyes stared at me, she was like a delicate doll, and my hands held her with care.
“I’m sorry,” I choked. “I never wanted this to happen.”
It was true. I never expected things to go this far. I never anticipated what lengths she would go to, to prove to the club and to me that she was more than what we labeled her.
“You don’t have to say you’re sorry.” She licked at her lips.
“I shouldn’t have pushed you to the point where you thought you needed to do what you did. We… I made you feel like you had no other choice,” I admitted. My other hand moved up her thigh and cupped the underside of her perfectly toned ass cheek.
“I’m not that naïve little girl anymore, Blizzard. I’m fully aware of the choices I’m making,” she whispered softly. Her eyes slipped shut and she leaned her head into my palm.
“Sad to say, baby, but this next choice won’t be yours to make.” I squeezed her ass causing her to grind gently down on me. I held back a groan. “You’re not going back there.”
Her bright eyes popped open once again, but this time, I saw something different. Pure determination. “I can get her out. I’ve come this far, you can’t stop me now.”
My fingers tightened in her hair and she let out a delicious gasp. It wasn’t from pain, though, I could see the anticipation in her eyes.
“You can’t stop me.” The words were meant to be strong, they were meant to be defiant, but all I could hear was desire. She was challenging me. Her hands slipped down my chest, searching for the hem of my shirt. They were cold and sent a shiver through me as she slipped them underneath the fabric.
“Watch me,” I told her softly before my mouth crashed down on hers. It was like coming home. Our lips tangled together, melding into one.
I felt her lifting my shirt higher and we broke just for a second as she pulled it over my head and tossed it to the side. Her breathing now was harsh and her skin was flushed in a soft shade of crimson.
I growled, my hands going straight to her hips and pressing her down onto my straining jeans. “Tell me he never got close to this,” I demanded, my voice low as she wiggled her body, searching for some kid of friction. I was scared since she’d been passed out for a while in that house that they had done something to her. I knew she would be able to feel it in her body if they had.
“No,” she gasped. “He never did.”
“Good.” I spun our bodies so she was lying flat on her back, and I was pinning her down. Her legs went around my waist and she hooked her ankles behind me, pulling me closer—like that was even possible. Every inch of us was already touching and the feel of her against me was something I was not going to risk losing.Ever.
I lapped at her neck, my tongue trailing down her collar bone.
“Blizzard,” she moaned softly. “Please, I need you.”
Just as I was about to declare everything—how much I wanted her—there was a harsh knock on the door.
“What?” I snapped, never taking my eyes from my woman.
That’s right.Mine.
“Rose’s phone is blowing up with calls and texts, brother. We need to sort this shit,now.” Optimus’ tone had gone from caring friend to Brothers by Blood President and I knew that this wasn’t a request. This was an order, sort my ass out now before we hit shit creek.
“Yeah, coming,” I called back.
“Now,” was all he said before I heard his footsteps heading back down the hall.
Rose’s body sagged and she let out a disappointed sigh.
“We get this done, then you’re mine.” She nodded, slightly apprehensive.
What I think she didn’t realize was that I wasn’t just talking about today.
I was talking about forever.
Because the burn I felt inside had become more than a simmer, it was a fierce fire and I’d be damned if anyone got in the way now of it burning.
