He kisses his way across my jaw, licking the shell of my ear, biting down. “No one else can make you come as fast, or hard. Just me.”
“Yes,” I choke out, trying to desperately suck air into my lungs.
His low rumble of satisfaction that comes from deep in his throat vibrates into me as he kisses, sucks, and bites his way down my neck. A shudder racks my body as heat blooms from everywhere his mouth touches me–marking me, claiming me.
Even when I know I shouldn’t, I want him to claim me.
I want to keep pushing him away, and I want to keep my heart guarded, but I also want to let him in.
I want tolethim claim me, even when he’s already doing it by force.
But right now, I’m done.
I can’t do, or say, anything as my eyes close and roll back into my head–darkness consuming me.
Coming to a few minutes later, my eyes flutter open to Ryan carrying me up the stairs. I curl into his chest, my face resting in the crook of his neck, and I breathe in his intoxicating scent.
Closing my eyes again, I let myself drift off in his arms.
Chapter 13
The dull light of predawn fills the room, and I scoot closer to Ryan, tucking my face into his chest, trying to hide from the inevitable. I don’t want to wake up. I don’t want him to go to work today. I just want to stay right here and keep warm in his arms.
Gentle fingers brush my hair from my eyes, and trace my face from my temple to my jaw.
“Morning, beautiful,” Ryan whispers, and my heart skips. I’ve never been so mushy over a man’s compliments, or craved them as much as I do with Ryan.
“Mmm,” I hum, not ready to come out of my dream-like state yet.
But then I feel his lips press against my forehead, and I smile at the warmth that spreads across my skin from his touch.
“Let me see those eyes,” he says softly, coaxing me awake.
Fluttering my lids open, I look up, and lock eyes with the most beautiful and mesmerizing blue ones.
“There they are.” He lightly traces my cheekbone. “You hypnotize me with these.”
I’ve been told countless times that my eyes are unique, and are what draws a man in. I hated that. I wanted a man to see me, but they rarely did. And while that suited me just fine for a time, this is the first time, in a very long time, that I’m grateful for them. Because I want to hypnotize Ryan, but I also want him to see more.
Tilting my chin up, Ryan plants a soft kiss on my lips, but I still feel it–the zap of electricity running through me.
Using his chest as leverage, I lean up into the kiss, wanting to feel all of him rushing through my veins. His kisses are addicting. And if I can get addicted to the feeling of my heart clenching in my chest and a thousand volts traveling through me, then I think I may have a problem.
Rolling me onto my back, Ryan presses me into the mattress, letting me feel all of him against the length of my body–his weight a welcome pressure.
Kissing me slowly, he grips my face in his hands, his thumbs stroking my cheeks.
Sliding my hands up his sides, my fingers graze the ripples of his ribcage, and his muscles contract at my touch.
I fucking love that.
I want to bring this powerful man to his knees when he’s with me just as much as I want him to do the same to me. When we’re together like this, I feel like a different woman–a greater woman.
Pulling away, he grabs the hem of my sweater and whips it off over my head, exposing me to the cool air. But I don’t feel it the second Ryan touches me again.
Running his hands down my arms, he takes mine away from him and raises them above my head, placing them against the bedframe for me to hold. I grip the bars tightly as he slides his hands down the underside of my arms–sparks of awareness lighting up every nerve ending in my body.
Trailing hot kisses down my neck and chest, I suck in a quick breath when he rakes his teeth over my ribcage.
