Casey: I hope in time, you can forgive me.
Time? Fucking time?
An ear-piercing scream leaves me as I stride over to the open window and hurl my phone out of it. I clutch onto the window frame with both hands as it crashes to the driveway below and smashes. Pieces fly off in all directions, their jagged edges catching the light as it splinters.
Broken beyond repair.
Dax wraps his arms around me from behind, pressing his lips to the top of my shoulder. “It’ll all work out. You’re okay.”
I sag back against his chest, content to be held. Content to let the calm only he can create inside me, wash over me, like the breeze from outside.
I stare outside at what used to be my phone. “Shit.” I screw my face up. “I told Mom I’d call her when we got back.”
“You can use mine. I’ve got your mom’s number stored in it already.”
I nod, holding in a sob as Dax tightens his hold on me.
“Why do I feel like you know me better than I know myself, Dax Silver?” I sniff sadly. “I’m the villain of this story. I don’t deserve the happily ever after. My family all look at me like I’m going to lose my mind any minute. Sometimes they look at me like I already have.”
“That’s not what they’re thinking. Trust me. They love you. They want you to be happy. That’s all. They want you to be happy and safe. The same as I do. And you’re no villain, Rose. You’re the stitching in the spine that holds it all together. You’re holdingmetogether.”
My laugh is empty as I shake my head. “How’d you figure that? Your life was simpler before I arrived.”
He kisses my shoulder, his lips warm against my skin. “My life’s never been simple. And if not having you meant it would be, then I’d rather live a thousand lives of turmoil banished to purgatory instead.”
“Sounds fun.”
Dax chuckles, then spins me in his arms. “Shower, Sunbeam. Then I’m taking you to bed.”
“Eyes,” Dax instructs as my eyelids flutter closed.
I force them open and gaze back at him as he thrusts inside me. We’ve spent the day in bed together and still didn’t get a minute of sleep. Dax has been taking care of me over and over again. I swear he thinks he needs to wear me out to the point of exhaustion in order for me to sleep, after I struggled so much on the plane.
“I can’t,” I murmur.
“You can. Just one more. Come for me one more time.”
He alters the angle he’s sliding inside me so that his piercing drags over my G-spot. I shudder as I struggle to keep my eyes open and on him. I’ve lost count of how many times he’s made me come. The last one was only a few minutes ago. I need a rest, I need—
“I want you to come before I do, Sunbeam.”
He kisses me over my shoulder, sliding his tongue inside my mouth and lifting my hips a bit more so he can thrust into me deeper from behind.
“Fuck, you’re so perfect.” He pushes deep, his balls hitting against me as he strokes my clit with his other hand.
I arch back against him, my mouth dropping open as the familiar waves crash through me and I come with a rush of wetness.
“Good girl.” He takes my lips in a searing kiss as he growls out his release deep inside me.
I continue coming around him in deep, shuddering pulses as he fills me, groaning into my mouth and telling me how special I am.
How perfect.
Because to him, I am. And it’s the only time I’ve ever believed it.
Dax wouldn’t lie to me.
He’s the one person I trust.
