I nodded. “Yes. Do I need to ask you?”
“No, I’m all yours.”
“Then take off your sweats,” I demanded.
Holden stood, then tugged his pants down, his long, thick cock bobbing free. My eyes roamed the dips and valleys of his abs, the broad corded muscles in his chest and arms. A bead of precum glistened on the tip of his dick, and I had a sudden urge to lick it off. His gaze traveled over my body, and his lips softly parted, as if he couldn’t wait.
“Can you roll over and prop up on your hands and knees okay with your cast?”
My mouth opened and closed before I was able to form my question. “What? Why?”
“I’ll have better access to your pussy, babe. I won’t hurt you. I promise.”
My heart warmed a little with his sudden use of the word babe. I rolled over on my stomach, then pushed up on all fours.
“Are you comfortable?” he asked, moving behind me.
I peered over my shoulder. “Yeah, I’m fine.”
He knelt on the floor and nipped at my ass cheek. “I’m going to make you come so hard.” His breath tickled my inner thigh as he spoke. He gently spread my sensitive, wet flesh apart. Holden gripped my hip, then he ran a finger up and down my slit.
He pulled me closer to the edge of the bed and groaned. “Goddamn. I’m going to come while eating you out.” He shoved his tongue inside me, then lapped at my pussy like it was the last thing he’d ever do in his young life. My body burned with desire as he once again made me feel things I’d never known were possible before. I closed my eyes and dragged in gulps of air, heat curling deep in my belly. As I teetered on the edge of a mind-blowing orgasm, Holden stopped.
“Roll over, River.” His voice was husky and thick with need.
I rolled over and laid back against the pillow, my hand gliding over the dips and valleys of his muscular body.
“Can we ...”
“What do you want?” he asked.
“I want you inside of me, Holden.” There, I’d said it.
“I’ll be right back. I need a condom from my room.”
He must have run because he was back in seconds, ripping open the foil package. Holden stilled and lowered his arms. “River, I want you so bad I can’t stand it. But you had a big night. Hormones and emotions are flying high. I have to do this right. Don’t misunderstand me, I want you ...” He sat on the edge of the bed, the mattress dipping beneath his weight. “River, you’ve never had a man treat you the way you deserve. All they did was take and take and left you to fend for yourself. I love your courage and fight, but I want to be the one that shows you how special you are. I want to give you everything that was stolen from you ...”
With a shake of his head, sadness clouded his handsome features. “But I can’t have sex with you. River, you deserve a better man, and I want to be that for you. We need to wait.”
Confused and feeling rejected, I pulled the comforter over my body, shielding it from his gaze.
“Don’t, River. I love seeing you like this.” Holden tossed the package onto the nightstand beside the necklace and crawled into bed next to me. “Look at me.”
I didn’t want to. I’d just shared a moment with him that I’d never experienced before, then he turned me down. My inner voice reminded me that I was only good for one thing. To be used and discarded like a used diaper.
Holden placed his fingers below my chin and gently tipped it up, forcing me to look at him. “All your life you’ve been used and hurt, River. Let’s take this slow so you’re a hundred percent sure that my intentions are good. I want you … bad. But I also want you to have a positive experience because I care so much about you.”
Tears welled in my eyes, and I blinked furiously, willing them to go away.
Holden rolled over on his side and placed his hand over my heart. “I want to give you the world, but I also want to make sure we cherish this.”
Unable to speak, I nodded. Maybe I was more than a game to him. Maybe he wasn’t lying, and he really cared about me after all. Only time would tell.
Holden pressed his mouth against mine. “Let’s get some sleep, babe.”
“Okay,” I whispered, doubting I would be able to drift off after everything that had happened tonight. Since I had to lay on my back, Holden stayed on his side with his palm against my chest.
Minutes later, his soft snore filled the room. My attention landed on him, my walls softening now that he wasn’t awake. I didn’t have to mask my emotions. He couldn’t see the fear and confusion in my eyes as Becky’s words came back to haunt me again. With a heavy sigh, I decided to do some digging and find out exactly who the Alastairs really were. I just wasn’t sure where to start.
