Only once he’d successfully raised my heart rate to that of a sprinter running for her life did he pull away, let me go, and wedge the back of his head against the seat rest. “You make me lose control every time you touch me. I hate that I bruise you. I hate that I take you so hard.” His blazing dark eyes met mine. “But I can’t help it. I can’t stop myself from losing myself in you, and...I’m so sorry, Nerida.”
“Sorry?” I rubbed my swollen-stinging lips. “I’m not. Never have I ever thought you were too rough. I love being with you. And you say you lose control, but you don’t. You still asked if I was okay. You still let shame affect you.” Cupping his cheek, I whispered, “One of these days, I want you to let go fully, and I’ll tell you if it’s too much or not.”
“The day I let go fully is the day I break both of us.” He smiled sadly, nipping at my palm as he arched his hips, shoved his still-hard cock into his boxers, and flinched as he zipped up. “We better go. We’re late now.”
“But was it worth being late for?” I smirked, catching his gorgeous stare.
He kissed me again, breathing into my mouth. “Being with you is worth absolutely-fucking-everything, Nerida Avci. Every breath, every heartbeat, I’d give them all to you just to keep you.”
I threw my arms around his powerful shoulders and hugged him tight. When I pulled away, I smiled, utterly love drunk, star struck, and goofily grateful. “In that case, let’s go get my parents so we can somehow control ourselves and not spend the rest of our lives playing with each other.”
He laughed as he pulled back onto the main road, heading toward the airport. “I will never get tired of playing with you, canim. You’re the best toy I’ve ever had.” He winked.
I giggled.
Life was good...
Chapter Ten

(Heart in Zulu: Inhliziyo)
“SO...I HAVE SOME NEWS.”
My head shot to where Jack sat on the couch with Anna tucked in beside him. They’d been back from New Zealand for over a week, and Neri and I had had to embrace some much-needed discipline. We slipped every now and again with a quick kiss that turned a tad too passionate in the kitchen or a straying touch that definitely wasn’t appropriate for parental eyes in the pool, but for the most part, our three weeks of uninhibited fucking on every surface of their house had been curtailed.
It didn’t help that I had those memories, though.
Every inch of Jack and Anna’s home now held some erotic fantasy of my fingers or my cock in their innocent little daughter, all while she screamed my name loud enough to wake the nosy neighbours.
“What news, Dad?” Neri asked from where she was sprawled on the shaggy rug in front of the coffee table. She’d made herself a little nest, wrapping herself up in a peach sherpa blanket. The two colours of peach and cream reminded me of the spiky shell she’d given me that never left my pocket.
It was a good luck charm at this point.
A talisman of us.
My fingers strayed to run over the smoothed spikes as Jack turned his head toward Anna. “Do you have the envelope, sweetheart?”
“Oh, no. I left it in the kitchen. I’ll go get it.” She went to move, her blue sundress caught under Jack’s thighs they sat so close.
“I’ll go.” I shot to my feet from the La-Z-Boy where I’d been sitting, nursing a beer as we’d all convened in the lounge after a big meal, a great conversation of what they’d been up to down south, and now planned on some mindless entertainment on TV before we all went to separate rooms.
That part was my least favourite of the day.
I hated heading out to the garden alone.
Honestly, I wasn’t sleeping well.
Ever since Neri had started sleeping in my bed, the night her parents went away, it’d felt like she’d always slept cocooned in my arms where I could protect her through the night. Not having her there made my bed and heart tragically lonely.
“That’s lovely of you, Aslan, thanks.” Anna smiled. “You’ll find a manila envelope on the sideboard where all the junk lives.”
“Be right back.” Catching Neri’s piercing blue eyes as she blew me a kiss from her nest, I rubbed at my heart as it skipped with love, then headed to the kitchen. I found the envelope straight away, bringing it back and tossing it into Jack’s lap before sitting back down and toeing Neri on the floor.
She grinned and grabbed my bare ankle, making my skin tighten and body do unmentionable things.
“Behave,” I mouthed, flicking Jack and Anna a glance to make sure they were looking elsewhere.
Jack muttered something as he pulled the papers out and inspected them.
