He held me against his chest, pressing kisses on my head, murmuring sweet things, reassuring me that everything would be okay. He promised that I didn’t need to cry. I clung to him, wishing all those things were true. That he could fix it all by just holding me.
I didn’t know how long I had been crying, but by the time I finished, he was holding me, cradled to his chest as he sat back on the bed. His lips were pressed against my temple, and his arms were wrapped tightly around me. I sniffled and took a deep breath, then looked up at him.
“I have to tell you something,” I choked out.
The look on his face was so tender that it almost caused me to fall apart again.
“I’m listening,” he said.
“Before I do, just know that I would do anything to protect you from hurt. Anything but lie to you. I’ve spent three hours in turmoil, and as much as I love you and as much as I can’t stand to see you in pain, I can’t keep things from you.”
His arms tightened around me. “I’m glad,” he said in a low voice thick with emotion.
I took a moment to pull myself together, then began to tell him word for word everything that Blaise had told me. I left out nothing. All the while, I should have been the one holding him to ease the pain, but he continued to hold on to me. When I finished, his eyes were still locked on me. He leaned down and covered my mouth with his.
This was not the reaction I had expected. However, my need to comfort him was stronger than my concern of how he was dealing with this emotionally. Gage laid me on the bed, then continued kissing me as he ran one hand down my body while holding himself up enough so that he didn’t put all his weight on top of me.
I sank into the kiss, burying my fingers in his hair, loving the way he felt against me, his scent, the feel of his warm breath on my skin as he left my lips to trail kisses along my jaw, then down my neck. When his hand slid into the front of my leggings, then slipped underneath my panties, I lifted my hips to meet his touch. Needing it more than I needed oxygen right now.
Slowly, he worked his finger from my clit to my entrance, sinking into me, then back out again. Each time, he rubbed a little harder until I was panting and begging under his unhurried touch.
“Let it feel good, baby,” he whispered against my ear as he licked at the tender skin beneath it. “You don’t have to rush it. I want to watch you fall apart in my arms.”
The frenzy was almost too much. I tried to rock against his fingers, needing him to go faster. He chuckled against my neck, slowing his pace even more.
“I fucking love the sounds you make. The way you say my name. Pleading with me.”
Right now, I would do anything he asked if he’d just let me orgasm. The need for it was screaming inside of me.
“Please,” I begged. “Please, oh God, harder, please.”
Gage moved over me and pulled his hand away, making me cry out in panic. I had been so close. I started to reach for his hand and shove it back inside my pants when he took the sides of them and jerked them down to my ankles. I opened my legs, ready for him to finish me. Do something to get me there. The ache was pulsing so hard that it was painful.
He unzipped his jeans, then shoved them down his legs in one swift move before he lowered himself and thrust into me.
“FUCK!” he shouted as he filled me.
I bucked against him, crying out. This was what I needed. I clung to him as he lifted his hips just enough to almost slip free of me, then rocked back into me hard. It only took three more times before I was clawing at his back, screaming his name while my body shuddered with its release.
“Fuck yes,” he groaned, watching me. He began to move faster, his breathing coming in pants. “Mine! This is mine! Tell me it’s mine.”
I looked up at him, watching his beautiful face stare down at me with a fierceness that made me tremble. “It’s yours. All of me. I’m yours.”
“GAH!” he roared, then exploded inside of me, filling me with a hard, warm rush that sent me spiraling into another euphoria.
When he rolled off me, he took me with him. My ear was pressed against his chest, and I could hear his racing heart. We lay there in silence while he ran his hands through my hair and our breathing returned to normal.
“Time to go downstairs,” he finally said.
I moved so I could look at him. “What are you going to do?” I asked.
A small grin tugged at the corner of his lips. “Eat. I’m starving.”
I frowned, but wasn’t sure if I should ask more or let him digest this and deal with it in his own time. Had I underestimated Blaise’s power over him? Did he forgive and accept Blaise on command?
He pressed a kiss to my forehead, then moved over me to pull my panties and leggings back up. “I want my cum leaking out of you,” he said, then winked at me before getting off the bed and pulling his jeans back on.
I stood up, and he grabbed my chin to kiss me one more time, then threaded his fingers through mine before heading for the bedroom door. We went down to the kitchen in silence, but I heard the voices as we approached. Levi was laughing, and Trinity joined him.
