He reached for me. “I know what you’re willing to give me. I’m not asking for more. I just want to give you everything I have.”
“Oh, Beck.”
He reached out to me. I hesitated, but there was no way I could deny this man what he needed. Even if it would break my heart to take it and still walk away in the end. So I took his hand and followed him to the bedroom.
Beck never took his eyes off me as he peeled off my clothes. The way he looked at me—with so much intensity—I knew before we even started that tonight was going to ruin me.
He lifted me off my feet and carried me to the bed, setting me down gently in the middle. Normally, Beck was domineering, so unapologetically brazen, but tonight he was different. Soft almost. He climbed over me, kissed the scar over my heart, and looked into my eyes for the longest time before pushing inside. When he was fully seated, my eyes fluttered closed.
“No. Please look at me.”
I opened.
Beck’s eyes brimmed with emotion. “I fucking love you, Nora. I don’t care how many days I get, or how much heartache it causes in the end, I willneverregret loving you.”
No one had ever said something so beautiful or looked at me that way. Tears prickled the corners of my eyes as Beck glided in and out, never breaking our gaze. I’d heard the wordsmake lovea thousand times in my life, but until this moment, I never understood them. Beck wasn’t just inside my body, he’d reached into my soul.
The room was so quiet that I heard nothing but our breaths and the sound of our bodies slapping together. Pretty soon, Beck’s jaw grew rigid, and I knew he was close.
“I love you,” he gritted out. “I fucking love you.”
That was it. I couldn’t take much more. So I wrapped my legs around his waist and crushed my lips to his. Things grew to a frenzy after that. Beck picked up speed, bucking hard against me as his thrusts increased in intensity. My orgasm knocked the wind out of me when it hit. Muscles pulsing, I moaned through every wave, every ripple. Beck must’ve sensed I was on my way back down, because he began his own climb. His hips ground down hard and fast, and he let out a loud groan.
After, I was completely drained—emotionally, physically, and mentally. I couldn’t imagine how much of a toll the day had taken on Beck. Yet he just kept gliding in and out of me, still semi-hard.
“Wow. That was…”
Beck leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. “Making love, to the woman I love.”
I didn’t know what to say, so I nodded. “Thank you. I don’t think I realized how much I needed that tonight.”
“Just tonight?”
“Beck…”
He smiled sadly. “I know. But can we just for tonight pretend you’re not going to run out on me when daylight hits?”
CHAPTER 30
Beck
“CREEPER…” A LAZYsmile spread across Nora’s face before her eyes fluttered open. “You know the Bedroom Strangler used to watch his victims sleep, too.”
“Who?”
“I’ve been binge-watching serial-killer documentaries.”
“Sounds like a good use of your time out there in sunny California.” I brushed my lips over hers. “Good morning.”
Nora stretched her arms up and over her head. “What time is it?”
“A little after eleven.”
Her eyes widened, and she pushed up to her elbows. “Really? I can’t believe I slept that long.”
“Well, it’s only eight AM on the west coast. You probably didn’t adjust yet.”
“Oh, yeah.” She nodded. “That’s true. How long have you been up?”
