“That doesn’t sound like you’re sure,” I say standing. Thinking of anyone laying hands on her makes me want to go batshit on the person.
“He was just very controlling. He would insinuate things. And. . .”
“Sky?” My question makes my stomach sink.
“It was nothing, Liam. He would sometimes just get rough during sex when he was angry with me and he was angry often,” she admits. Bile rises up in my throat.
“I wanted to leave him, but I was scared too,” she whispers. “I was scared, and I never figured those two pink lines would make him run, but it was the best thing that happened. I just don’t want that man near my son.” Her voice is so quiet and pleading that it breaks my heart. I take a step toward her and wrap her in my arms.
I run my hands over her soft hair. “No one is ever going to hurt you again. You hear me?”
She nods.
“I’m serious, Skylar. Carter will never come near you or your son,” I assure her. “But you also can’t be scared to live your life. You shouldn’t have to look over your shoulder when your kid goes on a playdate. And you should know, Wolfe knows Carter is trouble. We played together in college. He knows I have a beef with the guy. Wolfe would never hang out with a guy like Carter Lewis. He and Rebel are good people, and they have crazy security around their house.”
“Thanks for saying that,” Skylar says, but I can still feel how anxious she is because her body is rigid in my arms.
“Those aren’t just words. I’m serious,” I declare, pulling my head back so I can look in her eyes.
“I know,” she says, and her features seem more relaxed.
“Come.” I take her hand and walk her over to the couch. We take a seat next to each other. I kiss her and this time my hand comes up to touch her cheek and I deepen the kiss. Skylar takes what I have to give, and the kiss grows hungry as our tongues tangle.
“Lie back,” I coax shifting on the couch.
“Liam, we can’t,” she protests.
“Trust me,” I say to her, and she nods. I reach my hand into her pants and then into her panties. I find her core and begin to rub. “I want to make you feel good,” I whisper as I shift and lie down beside her.
She looks into my eyes, and we are so close our breaths mingle as I work her over with my fingers. She grows wet fast, her breathing picking up pace. When I slide two fingers inside her she moans, and then I pound my fingers into her while rolling her nub. Her hand comes up and grips my shoulder as I get her off. She comes with her eyes wide open, breathing hard. She’s quiet but I feel her release. Feel her sweet pussy squeeze my fingers, and even though I’m hard as a rock I want to give her this. When she comes down from her climax, I kiss the hell out of her again. And then I take her in my arms and hold her. She weeps in my arms, and I hold her tight knowing I would do anything for this woman. I want to tell her what she means to me, but I still don’t think she’s ready to hear it.
“Let me at least take care of you,” she offers, probably feeling my throbbing cock through my pants.
“Not tonight, baby. This was about you. You’re special to me. I wanted to make you feel good.” I kiss her temple on one side and then the other and that buys me a sweet smile from her. “And I’ll go home and get myself off in the shower.”
That makes her laugh. “That sounds hot.”
“I’ll introduce you to my shower the next time you come over,” I promise.
“You should go get some rest,” I say to her since it’s late and I know she wakes up early to get Crew to school.
She walks me to the door, and I get my boots on.
“How about I take Crew ice-skating on Saturday afternoon? We have a home game at night, but I can come by around noon. I can teach the little guy a few tricks,” I suggest. “I don’t want you to worry. You can come along or I can take him to the arena on my own. He’ll love it.”
“I’m sure he will.” She smiles. “But do you feel okay going out with a kid on your own?”
“Sure, why not? We’re buds,” I say. “Trust me.”
“I do.” She blinks and then she gets on her tiptoes and pecks my lips. “Crew is going to love skating with you.”
“Talk tomorrow,” I say to her, and I leave her apartment with my heart feeling so full. I’ve never felt this way before.
CHAPTERTWENTY-TWO
Liam
We have a series of home games this week. It’s nice to be able to be in town. Especially since Skylar’s been feeling vulnerable with all the changes going on in her life. I brought her back to my place during the day yesterday when Crew was at school and introduced her to my shower. I was still thinking about the sex we had when I went to sleep last night. It was hot. My shower has a bench inside it, so I was able to take her in all kinds of positions. And she wasn’t wearing her cast in the shower which was nice, even if I didn’t allow her to put any pressure on her foot.
