“You’re mine.” Stating what I thought was already obvious, I clear the air right there. Then, out of pure frustration, I tug her toward me.
Every day, I’ve briskly kissed this woman to keep myself in check. Knowing damn well I didn’t have the strength to keep myself from taking this woman over whatever surface was closest to us, I’ve played it safe.
Look where that’s gotten me. I need her to understand that not only do I want her, but I love her as well.
She’sit. No other woman is going to drive me insane like this one does. I don’t care about our past. The only thing on my mind is the future.
When I kiss her this time, I swallow the gasp that leaves her lips. With one arm circling her body, I crush her against my chest. My other hand slides down to her hip and I squeeze her.
Normally, I don’t mind the hoodie she’s wearing. Right now, with my mind running a mile a minute and a throbbing occurring between my thighs, I need to get rid of the clothing that is hiding her body away from me.
When I release her for only a moment, I tug her hoodie off and knock her sunglasses off from the top of her head. Everything is in the way. I need it all gone,now.
Not having enough time to see what she’s wearing beneath, my mouth is on hers once more. One kiss turns to two and slowly, I lose count of how many times our lips clash.
She’s shoving my jacket off, wanting it gone just as much.Everything is in the way.
Veronica gasps once more, this time when I scoop her up with ease. She weighs hardly anything in my arms and it feels fucking good when she wraps her limbs around my body. She’s afraid I’ll drop her as I walk across the room, but her fear doesn’t last long. Not when she’s occupied with brushing her mouth against my chin and cheek.
Every inch of skin her mouth brushes against tingles. The way she’s avoiding my mouth feels like a crime. She’s keeping all her sweetness to herself and it’s not fair.
The room’s layout matches her own except for my bed. My body is too big to fit the full-size ones that normally come with the rooms.
When I drop Veronica onto the dark blankets, her body bounces and makes the bed look even larger.
“You’re all mine.” Hooking a finger beneath the knot of my tie, I tug it loose. “I don’t care what I have to do to make you stay, but you’re stuck with me from now on.”
Brows lifting, she watches the tie fall to the floor before moving to my hands, trailing my fingers as I start to unbutton my shirt.
“I already thought I was stuck with you.” Smirking at me, she has no problem being smart.
“Now it’s more permanent.” Shrugging off my shirt, her eyes widen with shock.
She’s sitting up, reaching out to touch my chest. As soon as her fingers make contact with my skin, I know what catches her attention.
“I’ve been stabbed on a few occasions,” I explain softly as concern takes over her expression. “Shot at others. Most of these happened during my younger days.”
Biting her lip, she looks up. “Am I going to have to worry about you getting hurt now?”
I cock a smile, hardly feeling much fear. “The life I live is dangerous, Veronica. Being where I’m at, anything can happen. Lately, the worst I deal with are drunk assholes. That’s not to say nothing will happen to me. It comes with the territory.”
For a moment, she frowns and the thought of this being too much for her crosses my mind. I don’t have enough time to entertain the idea. Not when she leans forward and presses her mouth against an old wound. One that’s suddenly feeling sensitive.
I want to laugh at how easy it is for my cock to thicken. Without even knowing, this woman has me wrapped around her finger. All she has to do is breathe my name and I’m ready to go.
“Promise me you won’t try to die.” Tilting her chin, she meets my heavy stare.
Giving her a smirk, I bury my hand through her pale hair and chuckle when she groans as I tug her head back to give me the chance to stare into her eyes. They’re beginning to become my favorite color.
“I can promise that much. Can you promise that you’ll never leave my side?”
Without even missing a beat, she nods. “I’m not going anywhere.”
I want her entirely. Hell, I want her as my wife. Keeping her at my side, she can continue doing what she wants and help out the Lombardi family however is needed.
That’s that then. Enough words. After going all of these days of keeping my distance to not be a distraction, I can’t take another minute being away from this woman.
Flattening her on the bed, my mouth moves to her throat. Leaving not a single inch of her skin untouched, I kiss my way down.
