“Iamhungry,” I growled, tracing my palm down her back and to her ass. I squeezed it, bringing her closer and placing her on top of me. Her laugh tinkled around us, wrapping us in warmth, and I couldn’t help but grin up at her. “I’m hungry foryou.”
“Romeo!” she shouted, but there was a playful lilt to her voice and a mischievous look plastered over her face. I liked this side of her, more than she would ever know. It was carefree; giving herself over to what was around her with no worries in sight.
Thrusting my hips up, I bounced her down a little, our naked bodies sliding against one another, finding the perfect position without even trying.
“Mmmm,” I murmured, sitting up a little and causing her to slide down onto my cock. “That’s more like it.”
She shook her head, her full lips spread into a grin. “You’re naughty,” she whispered, her tone alluring, calling to me like nothing else ever had.
“Only with you,” I gritted out, thrusting upward at the same time as I grabbed her hips in my large hands and ground my cock into her as far as I could. Her wetness slipped across my cock, allowing me to reach parts of her that only I would ever touch. I’d make sure of that.
“I like it when you’re naughty,” she sighed, letting her head drop back a little, but with her gaze still connected to mine, both of us refusing to look away. We were caught in our own trap, neither of us wanting to escape.
“Fuck, Bailey,” I gritted out. “How the hell have you gotten so far under my skin that I feel like I can’t breathe without you?”
Her hips stilled, my hands gripping her harder, my fingers digging into the soft flesh of her ass and the skin covering her hips. It was sure to leave bruises behind, but these were the kind that I didn’t mind seeing on her. These were the kind that shouted, “she’s mine.”
“What?” she breathed out, her lips parting, her gaze batting back and forth between my eyes. “What did you say?”
“I said.” Slowly, I sat all the way up, bringing our faces only centimeters from each other. Her breath mingled with mine, our eyes fixated on the only other person that mattered to us—each other. “You’re under my skin, angel.” I paused, letting that sink in as I flattened my hand in the middle of her back and trailed up to the back of her neck. “I’m not sure what my life would be without you in it, Bailey.”
It was a confession; words that I’d felt for longer than I probably realized, but was only now saying them out loud.
“Romeo,” she murmured, her eyes glassing over with tears. “I…” She bit down on her bottom lip, her naked chest heaving as she inhaled a deep breath. “I…you’re under my skin too.”
A slow smile pulled at my lips, getting bigger and bigger until it took over my entire face. “I am?”
She nodded, her smile matching mine. “Yeah, Romeo, you are.”
“Say it again,” I demanded, holding her tighter to me as I thrust my hips, feeling her wetness coating my entire cock. Our words were turning us on even more than we already were, and fuck, I had no idea shit like this could happen.
“You’re under my skin,” she murmured, her words getting more confident the more she spoke. “You’re so far under my skin that I don’t know where I end and you begin.”
I let my head drop to her chest, inhaling her distinctive rose scent, taking it all in—my cock inside her, her body pressed against mine, her words—because it was only a matter of time until it was all gone—until she was gone.
Time wasn’t on my side, but I’d lap up every second that I could with her while she was still in my arms. I’d treasure her like the fine fuckin’ jewel she was. Because once she’d departed to go and start her new life with her uncle, there was nothing I could do.
What we had would be lost, never to be found again, just like those sailors at sea whose souls were lost to the sirens.
Bailey was the siren, and I was the hopeless sailor bound to her trap.
But it was exactly where I wanted—needed—to be.
CHAPTER 16
BAILEY
I leaned my head on Romeo’s pillow, not able to take my eyes off of him as he sauntered around the bedroom with only a pair of sweatpants on. They left little to the imagination. Probably why I liked them so much.
The smile I’d been wearing on my face for what felt like hours slowly started to dissipate, a small voice in the back of my head ebbing away at the walls I was rebuilding and trying to tear them down.
You shouldn’t want him to touch you.
You shouldn’t be looking at him like that.
You shouldn’t want anyone to touch you.
I shook my head, trying my hardest to dispel the thoughts slamming through my mind, but it didn’t matter what I did, the voices were just getting louder and louder.
