I slowly expel a heavy breath as reality comes crashing back in. “Thank you, Ford.”
Having dropped my cell into my pocket, I look back at a very disheveled Wren, who’s watching me with knowing eyes.
“This is the part where you run away, isn’t it?”
“It’s not as simple as that, Wren.”
She sits up straight before pushing herself to stand and close the distance between us. Her hand reaches up to pinch the zipper on the front of her dress, slowly inching it down until her pale, bare breasts are exposed to my ravenous gaze.
“I think you’re overcomplicating it, Vaughn.”
She gently grabs my hand, bringing it up to rest on her breast, right over her racing heart. “I want you. You want me. What’s so difficult about that?”
My thumb dusts across her pebbled nipple of its own volition, making her gasp as I step closer, choosing to lay all my fucking cards on the table.
“If you wantthis, little bird, you need to know that I won’t be gentle. I don’t know how tomakelove. I fuck, and I fuck hard. I’ll take what I want from your sweet body. I’ll give you more pleasure than you can handle. Your body will be my playground, and mine will be your shield.Always.”
She swallows roughly as I brush my thumb back and forth across her nipple, her nostrils flaring as her body arches closer to my touch.
“But just know that when I drive my cock home into your sweet pussy, it will becomemine. Just like every other part of you. Mine and only mine untilIdecide otherwise.”
And even as I utter those words, Iknowthat’s all they are.
Just words.
Because if this woman is mine,nothingwill ever come between us.
Then I pinch her chin between my thumb and index finger, peering deep into her eyes, giving her my honesty and praying she’ll take me anyway, the selfish prick that I am.
“And though you deserve it, I canneverlove you, Wren Caputo. I’m not built like that. Even if it feels like love to you, it’s just sex to me.” Her eyes flicker between mine, unflinching despite my painful honesty, and hope rises in the pit of my stomach. “If you can live with that, say yes, and I’ll make you mine here and now.”
CHAPTER22
WREN
Vaughn’s statement means nothing compared to the intensity in his eyes, and I reach between us to place my hand on his belt buckle, my mind made up before he’d even spoken.
His jaw tics as I wet my lips. My words are a softly spoken promise.
“I was born to be yours, Vaughn Burton.”
His gaze darkens before he roughly cups my cheeks, his mouth claiming mine in a brutal kiss.
A kiss that marks me down to my very soul. A branding kiss that makes mehis, just as he said he would.
And I revel in it as my hands fumble with the buckle underneath my fingertips, when suddenly he falls to his knees, tugging the zipper of my dress as he goes, leaving me bared to his hungry eyes.
Eyes that rake across each contour of my skin with a medley of approval and desire written plainly on his achingly handsome face.
I peel the stretchy material from my body, leaving me naked but for the heels on my feet.
“Leave them on.”
His low, gravelly command makes my stomach dip in anticipation as he gently grasps my ankle. Both our eyes follow his movements as he trails his fingers along the inside of my leg, inching higher and higher, taunting me.
“Sofuckingsoft.” He leans closer, pressing a kiss, first on one knee and then the other. On my right thigh, then my left, before he looks up with desire-drunk eyes as he nudges his nose against my bare sex. He inhales deeply, sending a flood of arousal to my already wet core.
“Sofuckingperfect.”
