“I’m sorry,” he said. “That’s awful. I—is there anything I can do? What do you need?” He peered into my eyes, so awkward but earnest in his desire to comfort me that it brought an ache into my chest.
Dealing with people’s emotions wasn’t something Gideon had much experience with. Usually he avoided them completely. But for me, he was trying his best. That meant more than any suave condolences would have.
I leaned into his embrace. “I’m just glad you’re here. Having you with me makes it easier to deal with the news.”
His expression turned doubtful, as if he couldn’t compute how that could be the case. “Are you sure? If you want me to bring you back to the mansion so you can be with all of us…”
I reached up and touched his cheek. The jagged tufts of his blue hair caught the sunlight, turning it as vivid as the summer sky. He really didn’t understand how much he meant to me. Maybe I hadn’t even known how much he did until right now, in this moment, when all I wanted to do was fall into him away from the awfulness of my past.
He wouldn’t pry for answers or demand I act in any specific way, just take me as I was. And if he could do anything to make it better, I knew he’d leap at the chance in an instant.
The feeling that had been building inside me since the first moment we’d kissed, only getting stronger when he’d opened up about his own past scars and shown me how far he’d go for me, filled my throat. I let it spill across my tongue. “You’re enough. You’ve always been enough. I love you.”
Something lifted in my chest when I said those words out loud. Gideon stared at me, emotion flashing through his normally cool gray eyes. His throat worked, and he brought his hand up to run his fingers into my hair. “I love you too. I didn’t know I could feel this much about anyone, but I—I don’t know what else to call it.”
Joy bloomed inside me. I smiled at him. “I think those words work just fine.” Then I leaned in for a kiss.
Gideon tugged me closer, his mouth capturing mine with all the intensity I’d come to expect from him and more. His tongue slipped between my lips, teasing over my own, and his free hand trailed down my side. Heat flared low in my belly. All at once, I wanted everything he could give.
I nipped his lip ring and tugged at the buttons on his collared shirt. A sly, knowing grin stretched across his ethereal face. As he started undoing the buttons, he leaned me back on the bed with him over me. With every caress he offered, more pleasure and longing washed away the grief that had filled me minutes ago.
When Gideon’s chest was bared, I swept my hands over his smooth skin and the darkly divine figure inked on it. “My dark god,” I murmured, and more lust flared in the tech genius’s gaze.
He kissed me harder, splaying my legs around his hips so he could rock against my core at the same time. The press of his growing erection against my pussy had me desperate for more in an instant. He pulled back just long enough to yank off my shirt, and I pawed at his slacks, determined to have those off too.
Gideon proved just how many ways he could use those nimble fingers by stripping my jeans off me even as he sucked the tip of my breast into his mouth. Without raising his head, he flung the jeans aside, swiveled his tongue around my nipple forcefully enough to make me gasp, and kicked off his own pants. Then, moving his mouth to my other breast, he delved his hand under my panties.
The first stroke of his fingers had me gushing against them, pleasure surging from my cunt. I growled and yanked his mouth back to mine.
“I want all of you inside me now,” I muttered against his lips, our hot breaths mingling together.
Mischief sparked in Gideon’s eyes. “The queen of the Claws should get whatever she requires,” he said, tugging my panties down. He spread my legs wide again and lined himself up. As the head of his cock rubbed over my clit and down to my opening, I noticed the faint raggedness creeping into his breath.
“We can flip over,” I said, desire flooding my body as I remembered the time I’d ridden him. I didn’t want him to strain his injured lungs.
But Gideon shook his head with a look of determination I’d become familiar with, though it was normally aimed at his computer screens. “You’re mine,” he said intently, “and I’m going to take you every way I want to.”
I practically came just at those words and the intensity of his tone. He slammed his mouth into mine at the same time as he plunged into me all the way to the hilt, and my moan was muffled by that blissfully violent kiss. If this was what he wanted, I sure as hell wasn’t going to argue with him.
Gideon snatched one of the pillows and shoved it under my hips to raise me to an angle that let him drive even deeper into me. With each thrust, a hint of a rasp sharpened in his breaths, but he showed no other sign of needing to slow down. He devoured my mouth and nibbled his way down the side of my neck, all the while pounding into me with enough force to send me soaring in a matter of minutes.
“Fuck,” I gasped out, and then I was clenching around him, a shudder running through my body. Gideon groaned, thrusting even harder, with a stutter in his chest as he followed me.
He stayed braced over me as we came down from the high of our orgasms, kissing me more sweetly now. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and pulled him down next to me so I could tuck myself against his slim but solid frame.
Right here, in the present, I was loved so thoroughly I didn’t know how it was even possible. No matter what Dad had done, no matter what I’d lost, I knew I’d come out of this lucky in the end.
