Curiosity flashed in her gaze. “Why not a smaller car then?”

“We have one, but it depends on the size of the job. In this case, we were able to gather some of her and her son’s belongings like clothes, toiletries, and some of her boy’s favorite toys before we picked her up at the hospital. She’d given us a list of items and told us where the spare house key was when she called the hotline for help. She was attached to a few books, pictures, etcetera. We couldn’t fit everything in a car. At one time, we wouldn’t allow any personal belongings to be taken, but the grieving process when the women lost everything was intense. It helped to have a few things with them.”

“I get that. I know they’re only things, but it’s also a part of who that person is. Are they safe now?” She shifted in her seat, stretching her legs in front of her.

I slipped off her shoes and placed her feet on my lap, then rubbed her calves and knee through her jeans.

“Oh. My. God. That feels so good.” She groaned and my cock lengthened until it was painful. Could I give her an orgasm from rubbing her legs? I was willing to try. My chuckle rippled through the room as she moaned some more.

“I’m putty in your hands, Sebastian. Keep talking to me, though.” Her eyes fluttered closed, and then she pried them open again.

“If he’d caught us, it would have ended badly. Plus, I’m trying to stay off the cop’s radar so I can continue helping families. This time, my mind was elsewhere. I don’t fucking make mistakes like that. I should have known he would be waiting for her at the hospital.” It had been a big turning point for me. “Each night, I thought of you, Ella. All I wanted was to be here.” I ran my thumb up the arch of her foot.

Her eyelids drooped. “You should stop before I fall asleep.”

Ignoring her, I worked my way up her calf, massaging her tense muscles. “Be a good girl and just relax for me. I know it’s been difficult with your dad. How’s that going?”

She looked at me and licked her lower lip, nearly driving me over the edge. I wanted to taste her and have her beneath me, thrusting into her as she screamed my name. But it was too soon, and she was worth taking it slow. I wanted more than her gorgeous body. I wanted her heart.

Chapter 34

Sebastian

“Dad is hanging in there. He and Mom are in California for a new cancer trial.”

My brows rose as a huge smile eased across my face. “That’s good news, right?”

“I’m afraid to hope, but apparently this drug has had excellent results. Maybe Dad will come home a new man.”

“He will. From what you’ve told me, he’s a fighter, and I suspect it’s where you get it from.” I wanted to try to reassure her even though I had no way of knowing the outcome for him.

Silence hung in the air as I continued to rub her feet.

“Sebastian?” My name rolled off her tongue, her voice heavy with need.

My willpower disintegrated the moment my eyes met hers. An animalistic craving to consume her blazed through me.

She pulled her foot out of my grasp and moved it to my crotch. She sunk her teeth into her lower lip as toes rubbed along the clear outline of my thickening cock, her gaze hungry and blazing. Ella applied more pressure to my shaft, driving me wild.

“What do you want, Ella?” I growled.

Her long lashes fluttered, revealing intense longing behind them. Our eyes locked and we both stood without a second thought, drawn to each other by an irresistible force. I cradled the back of her head in my palm, pulling her closer as her fingers tangled in my hair. Every touch ignited sparks, fueling the desire until it consumed us completely. Our kisses were fervent and urgent, our teeth clashing together. With each move, our bodies tangled with each other while we stumbled toward my bedroom. As we collapsed onto the bed, Ella’s laughter filled the room before our eyes met once again.

I crawled onto the king-size mattress next to her.

“Are you sure, Ella?”

She nodded, then lifted her head off the mattress and kissed me. “I’ve missed you. Somehow, you’ve worked your way into my heart, and I want more.” Her fingertips traced my jawline, the emotions in her eyes speaking loudly.

Placing my palm on her hip, I held her gaze as my hand slipped beneath the hem of her blue shirt. I slowly moved my hand upward until I reached her right breast.

“Take your shirt off for me.”

She sat up, peeled her top off, and tossed it on the floor.

The swell of her full breasts peeked out of her pink lace bra, and I couldn’t wait to trail kisses over her soft skin. With a flick of her hand, she opened the front clasp before lying down on the bed again.

I moved the cup out of the way, watching her nipple harden against the cool air.
