He stared up at the darkness. Thought about the events of the night. The fear that had chilled him to the bone when she’d screamed. The rage that had erupted as he gave chase after the bastard who’d tried to take her. The savage satisfaction he’d felt when he finally—finally—claimed Noelle.
He’d told her brother the truth. Brady would kill in an instant if Noelle was in danger. He would lie, cheat, fight,destroyfor her. But the one thing he would not do? That he could not do any longer?
Walk away. Give her up.
She was his, and there was no going back.
Chapter Nine
On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…a night I will never forget. A nice start. Now I want forever.
—Brady
Her hands slid over his chest. A light, careful caress. Her fingers edged downward, slowly, tentatively, moving down to—
Brady’s eyes flew open and found darkness waiting. His hand flew out and curled around Noelle’s delicate wrist before she could reach the ever-so-eager part of his body that was already thrusting toward her. “In the mood to play, are you?” he rumbled as the last vestiges of sleep vanished from his mind.
“I was…” She cleared her throat. “I like to touch you.”
He let go of her wrist. “Then touch away.” Like he’d refuse her anything.And if she wanted to touch him, he’d hold onto his control while she did. Maybe. It just depended on exactly where she was doing her touching.
She reached for his dick.
His teeth snapped together.Sonofabitch.
“I had a bad dream,” Noelle confessed as her silken fingers danced over the head of his cock. “But then I woke up and you were here.”
“I’ll always be here.” A promise. No more missions. No more leaving his heart behind and fearing that she’d have a ring on her finger when he got back. If she had a ring, it would be his.
“Until duty calls again,” she said, voice sad. “But that’s the way it is. Can’t change things.”
No, no, duty wasn’t calling again. He was staying with her. He would build a life with her. Brady opened his mouth to tell Noelle that she was his world, that nothing else mattered but…
Hermouth closed around the head of his cock. And speech? Impossible. Brady’s hands flew out and fisted in the sheets near him as his hips surged up toward her.
Her tongue licked against him. Her lips parted more. She pulled him in deeper. Sucked with sensual force.
He was a goner. Just done. Like he was supposed to maintain control when the gorgeous source of his obsession was going down on him. Not happening. With a savage growl, he let go of the sheets and grabbed her. Brady pulled her up with gentle force because he wasn’t coming in her mouth. He was going to be buried in her core when he came.
“But, Brady, I wanted to—”
He rolled her beneath him. Spread her thighs and pushed right against her. Wet. Hot.Mine.The head of his cock shoved against her.
“Condom,” Noelle gasped. “We need a condom unless you want a little mini-Noelle with us next Christmas.”
That vision—that insanely perfect vision—broke him. He did want that. He wanted a mini-Noelle. He wanted her, a family, laughter, and love. Everything with her—he wanted it, and he would take it. But first…
Put a ring on her finger.
He grabbed for the nightstand. Snagged a condom that was tucked inside. He ripped that thing open and rolled it on in record time. Then he lodged his cock at the entrance to her body.
And sank as deep as he could go in one long, hard thrust.
They both gasped. He felt the slight resistance of her inner muscles and could have kicked his own ass. “Baby, am I hurting you?”
She arched against him. “Do not dare stop now!” A demand. “Move, Brady. Fast and hard. Give me everything.”
Everything. That was what he wanted her to give him, so he would gladly give her the same in return. The bed shook beneath his thrusts. Her hands flew frantically over him. He grabbed her legs and lifted them over his shoulders so he could go even deeper. Harder. She urged him on with her breathless cries. So tight and hot and perfect. The best sex of his life. And for the rest of his life, he knew he’d only want her.
