I went to my knees, wrapping my fingers around his thick girth, flicking my tongue over the tip again and again.
“Damn, baby.” He threaded his fingers through my hair. “You’re going to make me cum if you keep that up.”
I looked up, locking eyes with him as I grinned. “Isn’t that the point?”
His chest rumbled as he made that growly noise again. “Not until you cum first… and not until I’m deep inside of you.”
Then he was grabbing me by the elbows, spinning me around and yanking my shorts to the floor. I arched my back and pushed my ass toward him as I braced my hands on the wall.
Evan dragged his hands through my wet folds once more, and I watched from over my shoulder as he brought his fingers to his lips, licking them clean. The sight had me pushing back again, and this time his cock brushed against my entrance.
“Please, Evan.” I wasn’t afraid to beg. “I need you.”
His eyes were solid gold now, something that happened when he was experiencing intense emotions. Right now, they made it crystal clear just how much he needed this.
Taking his cock in his hand, Evan teased, rubbing it back and forth against my pussy. Just when I thought I couldn’t take it anymore, that I might die if he didn’t fuck me right now, he thrust his hips, slamming his cock deep inside.
I cried out his name as he bottomed out. “That’s right, baby. Scream as loud as you want. There’s no one around for miles,” Evan said smugly.
It was a kind of freedom we hadn’t experienced often—not with a baby in the house. We were always afraid of waking Sofia up, so to be as loud as we wanted was its own turn-on.
Evan gripped my hips while I braced myself against the wall, holding my body in place as he thrust into me hard and fast, over and over, until we were both panting, the sound of our skin slapping together mingling with moans of pleasure.
When he reached around, rubbing his fingers in fast circles over my clit, I exploded, my body contracting around his cock, clamping down as my orgasm tore through me. My head fell back, and Evan’s mouth was on my shoulder, his teeth scraping as he growled through his own release, a sound so primal, so animalistic, I wouldn’t have been surprised to find wings sprouting from his back.
Completely spent, we collapsed against the wall, and I only remained standing thanks to his arm around my waist, holding me up.
“God, you’re perfect,” he murmured against my ear. His cock twitched inside, sending a fresh wave of pleasure through me as aftershocks wracked my body.
I reached up and ran my fingers through his hair as he kissed my neck. Not for the first time, I felt a connection to this man that went beyond explanation. It wasn’t just love or passion that drove us together. There was something deeper, and it was how I knew that no matter what we faced, I belonged with this man.
He owned my heart and soul. And I was perfectly fine with that.
Chapter 3
Evan
The clock on the wall in my newly converted office ticked, the sound grating on my already frazzled nerves. Normally, a productive work morning put me in a good mood, ready to take on anything that came my way, but my life wasn’t exactly going according to plan.
While I was managing the changes with working remotely, finding it surprisingly easy to keep the business flowing smoothly in my absence, my heart wasn’t in it. I loved my business, loved running the clubs with Mason, loved watching the fruits of hard years of labor pay off. But my life no longer fully revolved around work as it once had. In the span of a few months, my priorities had changed.
Sofia and Mariah were everything to me now. They were my family. My world.
And they were still at risk with Tomas Hawthorne lurking in the wings.
I reached for the stack of mail that had been delivered earlier that morning. On top sat an official document from the court clerk’s office in New York, stating that our first formal hearing was scheduled for next month.
I picked up the paper and scanned it again, sneering when I read Rosalind’s name. We had a month to put together a solid case in the custody battle against Rosalind, even though the entire case was a sham. She was acting on her father’s orders, had admitted she didn’t even want a child, yet was still doing Hawthorne’s bidding.
A growl rumbled in my chest as my fists clenched and squeezed the hearing papers. My focus needed to be on reining Tomas in, on shutting down his attempts to steal my child and hurt my mate. I had the best family lawyer in New York on my case, but it was still a thorn in my side.
I wouldn’t fully rest until we’d put an end to Tomas’s threats to the people I loved. As far as I was concerned, there was only one way to stop him for good.
The primal drive to protect what was mine coursed through me, and I surged from the desk, knocking my chair back with force. I felt canines pressing uncomfortably against my gums as my dragon rose to the surface, so I took several deep breaths, not surprised to find tendrils of smoke curling from my nostrils. It seemed my dragon was feeling just as possessive about our mate. The desire to fully claim her, to make Mariah mine in every way, was growing stronger with each passing day. Part of that came from the constant feeling of danger, knowing a threat loomed, putting her safety at risk.
I wouldn’t make the same mistakes as before with Mariah’s safety, yet I had no doubt Hawthorne was still plotting to use her against me.
When I’d come upstairs to my third-floor office today, I’d left Mariah in bed, where she’d been researching schools on her laptop. It thrilled me that she’d found something she wanted, something that would fulfill her on a personal level. It was a step toward that life we wanted to build together, where she was happy and at peace, and I could help make all her dreams come true.
