“You don’t even know me,” she whispers, disbelievingly.
“I feel it. If I’ve learned anything in my life it’s to trust my gut. That feeling brought me to you yesterday. I knew you were going to go back to that house. Knew that you would be locked out and I was going to be there to make sure you were okay. I obsessed over it all day.”
Her mouth parts a little. “I feel it, too. When you picked me up, I wasn't scared. I felt safe. Then when I woke up in your arms that feeling was still there, only I felt it even deeper,” she confesses.
I smile at her. God, she’s so fucking beautiful. Earth-shaking beauty mixed with a sweet innocence. How could I not want her? Need her?
Her arms slide up my chest and lock around my neck.
“Kiss me again.” She tilts her head back a little more, offering me her mouth. My eyes go there, remembering the sweetness of her kiss before when we were in the shower. When all my control snapped.
“I don’t think I should right now,” I tell her. I’m on a razor’s edge after her saying she should leave, and I think if I kiss her now I won't stop until I’m buried deep inside her, claiming her in the most primal, basic way. Marking her inside and out.
Her lips pull tight into a line. Her eyes drop away from mine.
“Baby,” I plead as I stroke her soft cheek with my thumb. “It’s not that I don’t want to kiss you. I want that more than anything. I just don’t think I’ll be able to control myself if I do. I barely held on in the shower.”
“What if I want you to lose control?” Her eyes come back to mine. She bites her lip. I pull her lip out from between her teeth. “I want you, too. I love when you touch me. The things you make me feel. I want more.”
I growl at her words.
“Please,” she adds.
I let go of her face, and bring my hands under her ass, picking her up, feeling her bare skin against my fingers. “You don’t have to beg me for anything, Catherine. I wasn't lying when I said I was taking care of you. That means with anything and everything you might want. You want this. I’ll give it to you without question.”
I carry her the rest of the way down the hallway as my lips find hers. When her tongue touches mine it’s like coming home. A peace that I haven't felt since before I became a Ranger slides over me. All the noise and worry that always ride on my shoulders fade from my mind and there is only her.
I lay her down on the bed, pulling my mouth from hers. We are both breathless. “Let go for a moment, baby.” She releases her arms from my neck. I stand up beside the bed, looking down at her.
Her black hair is spread across my pillow. Her lips are swollen from me devouring her mouth. Her eyes are only half open, brimming with lust. She looks like a wet dream come to life and I fucking love that I’ve made her look like this. Not only that, but she’s stretched out only wearing my shirt.
My whole body feels like it's buzzing with a primal need. I take deep breaths, trying to get myself under control. I want to make this good for her, not fall on her like some animal between her thighs and rut until I find release. No, I want this to be perfect for her. Make her body crave mine. Wash away any memories she might have of a past boyfriend or lover.
My body clenches at the idea of her having been touched by another. I know the thought is fucked up and barbaric, but I can’t help but want to find anyone who ever touched her and rip them to shreds. I don’t care that I’ve sworn to protect. I don’t think anything in the whole world would ever come before her to me. Not even my badge.
She reaches for me and I fall onto her. My body blankets hers as I take her mouth again. She wiggles under me, rubbing herself against me, and I’m pissed I didn't undress before I fell onto her.
I reach over my head, pulling my mouth from hers, and grab my shirt, ripping it over my head and tossing it away. She leans up this time and takes my mouth—she clearly doesn’t like us being separated for even a moment. Her hands run all over my body and I swear I think I’m shaking. I dig my hands into her thick hair, deepening our kiss.
She starts to jerk against me. I can feel her need growing as she mewls into my mouth. The sound is more than I can take and my cock jerks and cum starts to leak out. The sounds are so sweet and innocent.
