Yes, I understand why he’s giving me space and prioritizing my rest, but tomorrow isn’t promised. I’ve learned that the hard way.
I’m not the same woman I was four years ago, but I’d like to believe that my heart is still true. That what I’m feeling for Lennox is real. My love for him didn’t disappear or evaporate the night I left town. Instead, my love just buried itself deep in my chest, waiting to burst free again when the time was right. For the moment I finally felt safe again.
I don’t want to wait to begin again with Lennox. I want to start where I’m standing. No looking back, no regrets. And when the night is over and he knows how I feel, I’m going to do something that I should have done a long time ago.
With that promise in my mind, I give myself a little nod and turn for the door again. Not stopping to let doubt settle in, I march to Lennox’s room and throw open the door. My eyes grow wide when I spot him standing beside the bed, shirtless, with his jeans pooled at his feet.
In just boxers he takes my breath away. I thought I understood just how strong he was from ogling him earlier, but that was nothing compared to seeing him in the flesh. My mouth goes dry, but my legs don’t fail me. They take me across the room and right into his arms.
Reaching up, I clasp his neck and bring his lips down to me. The kiss goes from zero to one hundred in a matter of seconds. His tongue tangles with mine, our passion rising by the second.
Pressing me closer, I feel the heat of his chest through my thin top. My hand goes up, clasping his neck as our kiss grows more frantic and needy. This feels right. He feels right.
Rising on my tiptoes so that I can get more of his kisses, Lennox smiles as our lips meet again, as if he knows what I’m doing. A gasp of air leaves me when he suddenly bends and lifts me into his arms. My legs instantly wrap around him, the bulge in his jeans hitting me in the most delicious place.
He wraps his arms around me, giving me a squeeze at the same time he tips his head towards me and starts kissing me again. I feel giddy with all the attention and care he’s giving me.
I feel rather than see him start walking to the bed. I don’t want to stop kissing him in fear I might be dreaming this all up.
A laugh bursts out of me as we crash onto the bed, a tangle of arms and legs. I prop up on my elbows, gazing at Lennox beside me. There’s a twinkle in his eye that I’ve missed. A carefree mischief that I didn’t know had been missing before.
With care, Lennox presses my chest so that I recline backward until I’m lying on the bed and positions his body over mine. Taking my lips again, he nips at the plump flesh. “I’ve needed you for so long, little thief. I’m not letting you go again.”
“You won’t have to. I’m not going anywhere.”
He runs a finger down my jaw, gazing at me with such hunger in his eyes that excitement zips through my body, making me wet. I run my hands up his bare chest, caressing every inch of exposed skin. Relearning every valley and bump by touch alone. It all feels so new, with a touch of familiarity.
Before Lennox I never believed in things like soul mates or happily ever afters. How could I with a past like mine? With a misguided mentor like my father? But now, I wanted that fairy-tale ending. I wanted to break the chains that held me down and stand by the man I considered my hero as we took down those that opposed us.
I need Lennox by my side when I left my life of crime and deception behind. As long as we were together, I was fearless.
“Make love to me, Lennox,” I whisper in between kisses. “I’ve missed you so much. I want to feel you everywhere.”
“Fucking missed you too, Katrina.” I love the rumble of need in his voice. The instant change in how he touches me. Now with more urgency than before. His hands are rougher too when they skim down my body.
I like it. No, I love it. I want to feel him with every step I take tomorrow. Carry the brand of his touch on my skin wherever I go.
He pulls the shirt from my body, leaving me in nothing but my panties in the middle of his bed.
“I’m going to kiss every inch of this gorgeous body,” he mutters, peppering kisses from my collarbone downward.
“Lennox,” I moan, protesting and encouraging him at the same time. His kisses are a sweet torture I’m not sure I can endure right now. I need him so desperately.
He wraps his lips around my nipple, wetting the bud, then nipping. My back arches, sensations bursting all over my body. I can feel my core clench, demanding to be filled. He turns his attention to my other nipple.
Again my body arches up but this time he holds me down as he plays with my breasts. He trails open-mouthed kisses down my stomach, and I feel a bit of erotic relief but it doesn’t last long.
“Lennox, please. I need you inside me.” I spread my legs wider as I say the words, hoping to coax him where I need him. His mouth feels so damn good on my body, but it’s not enough right now.
“You’ll get my cock soon, little thief. I want to get this sweet pussy good and ready.”
Holy hell. His dirty words only help in bringing me closer to the edge. My nails dig in to his back and he kisses lower on my abdomen.
His warm breath tickles my clit. I can’t control the full-body shudder that results. My hips lift higher on the bed, chasing his teasing mouth.
His tongue slips through the folds of my sex, playing with my clit as he kisses, licks and sucks the delicate flesh. Sensations zip through my body, causing my mouth to open but no sounds to come out.
Sliding farther down my body, he hits me at the right angle and I finally cry out his name. His hands grip my lower waist, his forearms resting against my ass. I gasp at the feeling of his tongue, so deep in my folds. Holding me firmly in place as he brings me to the edge of orgasm.
