“Only a while?” she whispers when I break away.

“As many times as you need.”

Her lips curl in a small smile. It’s a start. “Why are you being so good to me?”

“Because taking in broken things and making them better is what we do here.”

She blinks once, twice, three times too quick. Rae glances away, turning her head to the side before I can see her cry.

“Stop hiding your sadness, beautiful girl.” I grip her face between forefinger and thumb and urge her to look at me once more. “It’s the part of us that’s the most honest. The piece of us others need to see so they know they can trust us.”

“Why?” she croaks.

“Because it shows we’re willing to be vulnerable. People who want to hurt you, who purely want to control you, won’t show their weakness. They’ll hide it.”

“What’s your weakness?”

I swallow hard, releasing her face and sinking to my knees between her legs. “Right now? You.”

She doesn’t say any more as I grab her knees and coax her legs wider. Her pretty pink center calls to me, urging me to have another taste of that fucking honey. The proof she feels good. ThatImade her feel good. My forefinger traces a path between her glistening lips, working the evidence of her arousal around the soft skin. I hold her open with my first two fingers and lean in, the tip of my tongue starting a hair’s breadth away from her ass to lick a long line to her pulsating clit.

The pinch of her fingers threaded though my hair drives me past the point of no return; there’s no way I can walk away from this now.

“Oh, my God…” The open-ended way she leaves the sentence tells me she’s unsure what to call me.

“West,” I growl against her puss before taking another taste. “Call me by my true name when I make you come, baby.”

“West,” she utters, thighs quivering against my ears.

It’s the most perfect thing she’s said all day.

I feast on her, lapping every drop she has to offer, adding my fingers when she begins to pant, mewling as she grinds her hips against me. I could drown in this cunt and die a happy man knowing she tip-toed through Heaven while I did. Rae’s hands grip the hair at the back of my head, her firm touch tugging me closer to her as she rocks her hips in time with my ministrations. I spread my fingers, opening her wide to thrust my tongue deep.

She growls, low in her throat, restrained.

“Don’t matter if anyone hears you,” I assure her between tastes. “Make ‘em jealous, baby girl.”

She exhales out her nose. “It’s not enough. I need more.”

I lean back and lift an eyebrow. “That so?”

She releases a heavy breath and nods.

“As much as I’d love nothing more than to fill this swollen cunt, Rae, I won’t fuck you tonight.”

“Why not?” she whines.

“Because this ain’t about me.” I push three fingers into her greedy center. “It’s all for you.”

Five more strokes is all it takes for her to detonate around my digits.

And I drink that fucking offering like it’s wine from the fucking Gods.

She might not fully understand it yet, but this woman ain’t going anywhere.

Threat to her life or not.

Not now. Not ever.
