Share Us
With a whimper, she shakes her head. “Only you.”
The thought of having a piece of her that no other man has had ignites a fiery part of me. It’s fucked up, I realize, because I’ve had more than my fair share of women, but the thought of another man being inside of Claire, touching her, kissing her…it nearly sends me off a cliff. There’s no part of me that wants to share any bit of her.
Reaching around, I grip her neck and bring her up to me, kissing her fiercely, claiming her mouth. I’ve claimed every part of her body; there’s only one more piece of her I want to make mine. The only problem is I can’t just reach out and take it, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s that she has a fuckload of walls surrounding it that I’ve been working on tearing down since we met. Watching her give into our chemistry one moment and then work so hard to fight it the next hasn’t exactly been easy.
On the contrary, it’s been exhausting, leaving my head spinning most of the time. Sure, I have her in my hands right now, naked, filled with me, but I’m not naive enough to think that means I have her. She still needs convincing that I want her, not just her body, that I’m not gonna do the same thing her ex did.
My hand dips between her legs, rubbing circles around her clit while I pump into her with everything I have. The sound of our skin slapping together, my heavy breathing, Claire’s begging whimpers fill my ears like the best song I’ve ever heard.
Claire winds one arm backwards around my neck, burying her fingers in my hair, her free hand clutching at mine on her, trying to rip my fingers off her pussy. “Please, Avery. I’m gonna come. I…I can’t…”
I push her forward, grab her hips, and drive my cock into her. It starts twitching, kicking when she starts clenching around me, and a ball of fire roars to life at the base of my spine as my orgasm starts to barrel through me. Bowing over her, my teeth latch onto her neck, sucking her skin to keep me from screaming as we come together, filling her with my…
Filling her…
Filling…
Shit.
Slowly, I pull out, my grip on Claire—and maybe sanity—suddenly feather-light. I scrub my palm over my mouth when I watch my glistening cock slide out of her.
Fucking shit.
I bend and press a light kiss to her heaving shoulders. “Claire,” I whisper carefully. “Are you on the pill, sweetheart?”
“Yeah,” she wheezes. “Why?”
My sigh of relief deflates my whole body.
She looks at me over her shoulder. “Why?” she asks again.
“I’m so sorry, Claire. I got a little carried away. I forgot…I forgot to put on a condom.”
Thankfully, she doesn’t look too concerned about any oopsie-babies. But then her brows pinch and something indecipherable crosses her features. Shame, maybe.
“I got tested after…after…” After her boyfriend cheated on her? “I’m clean.” She glances away, but not before red heat climbs like a vine up her neck and into her face.
Capturing her jaw, I pull her face back to mine and kiss her. She has no reason to be ashamed. If anyone should be, it’s me. She got tested because she got screwed over by someone she trusted. I get tested because I’ve spent too many years fucking around.
“Me too,” I tell her. “I promise. But I’m still sorry. I lost my head there for a while.” She has that effect on me, I’m aware, but never have I ever been so wrapped up in somebody that I’ve forgotten to put on a damn condom. I’m more careful than that.
She looks up at me, her expression soft and understanding. “It’s okay.” She cups my cheek. “You know, you go from drill sergeant to sweet with the snap of your fingers.”
“Drill sergeant?” I grind my half-hard erection against her ass.
“Oh my God.” Her eyes roll, just the way I like. “I meant bossy! Not drill sergeant.”
“I think both meanings work.” I lick the spot on her neck where my teeth were when I came inside her. It’s quickly turning purple. Mine.
“Come on, gorgeous. Let’s eat.”

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
Avery
I can’t keep my eyes off Claire while we eat. She’s lounging on one of my dining chairs wearing nothing but my T-shirt, one knee pulled up to her chest while her other leg swings down below. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen her so loose and carefree, humming happily around each bite.
