“Anytime, Bry.”
As we see my real estate agent ahead, our professional masks slip back into place.
“The usual routine?” Bryan says, his gaze on my agent.
“Hell yes. Never let them think they have the sale.”
The scent of jasmine and amber overwhelms me as I step through our bedroom door, the sound of Beyonce’s voice reverberating around the room. The door to the walk-in closet is open, my goddess’s beautiful voice carries through the room as she sings along to “Cuff It.”
I head in that direction, leaning against the door frame, salivating as I watch her swiveling her hips while she slips the dress on. Pulling it over her hips, she smooths the material over her body, staring into the giant mirror. She fumbles with the zipper in the back but gives up. When the chorus plays, she gives up on the dress altogether and loses herself in the dance.
I’m mesmerized by the way she moves and impressed she knows that dance already. She and Savannah saw a dance challenge to this song and talked about it before I left earlier. Obviously, Everleigh learned it already and has added her own personal touch to it.
Goddamn is she sexy as fuck.
She swivels her hips and turns, facing me, her face contorted with embarrassment as she squeals, “Will! I had no idea you were there!”
Pushing off the wall, I give her a smug grin. “Don’t stop on my account. You look decadent as fuck, especially with your dress open.” Reaching her, I gesture to the dress that exposes her lacy red bra. I saw the matching thong before she got the dress over her hips. “I highly approve of this attire.” The black dress hits mid-thigh and there’s a slit up the left side, showing a hell of a lot of leg. She’s wearing black fishnet stockings with rhinestones that shimmer beneath the bright fluorescent lighting of the large walk-in closet.
A blush stains her cheeks. “God, I’m so embarrassed. I didn’t know you were there.” She ducks her head against my chest, her cheek resting over my heart.
One hand goes beneath her chin, tilting it up so I can stare at her gorgeous face. “Goddess, you shouldn’t be embarrassed. That was hot as hell. And just like the song lyrics, you make me see stars.”
She laughs, shaking her head, her chestnut hair hanging in large curls that frame her face. Her magnetic brown eyes are enhanced by the subtle makeup she wears, and they shimmer with happiness. “You’re too kind. Now you know what Savannah and I did while you were looking at that building—learning the ‘Cuff It’ dance.” She lifts one shoulder. “What can I say? My life is so hard.”
I throw my head back, laughing. “You’ve endured more hardship than any one woman should have to endure. I’m glad learning a new dance is the extent of the difficulties you face right now.” Leaning down, I nuzzle her neck, making her giggle and squirm.
Thank God she’s happy again.
When I saw her looking at the scars on her back in that dressing room, it fucking gutted me. The rawness of her pain reflected in the mirror, a memory permanently etched onto her body, reminding her of the trauma that left scars on her body, nearly destroyed me.
Yet it hardly compares to the scars within.
Pulling back, I cup her face in my hands. “Have I told you, goddess...” My hands slide down her body. “This dress…” My hands continue lower, trailing over the sides of her thighs. “Fishnet stockings.” A low growl escapes me, causing her breathing to accelerate. “And the lingerie beneath it.” My lips move to her neck, nipping gently. She lets out a groan that immediately has my dick rock hard. I grip the hem of her dress, fully prepared to remove it.
“Will.” She giggles, pushing against me. “Don’t we have reservations?”
“We do,” I say against the skin of her neck. “Fuck those reservations. They’ll wait. I need to be inside you before we leave.” My tongue runs over her warm flesh, feeling her pulse pound beneath it. Nicking her with my teeth, I soothe over it, kissing and licking gently. She moans, tilting her head, giving me more access.
My hands trail over her ass, squeezing her round, firm cheeks before lifting her. She wraps her legs around my waist as I kiss my way from her neck to her lips. My voice is full of desperation, even to my own ears, as I gruffly say between kisses, “I need you. Right now.”
“Will.” My name comes out as a whisper, tinged with her hunger and desire, curling around me like a heated blanket, igniting my body into an inferno of lust. “Take me.” Her voice is ragged, barely getting the words out before I capture her mouth with mine again, drinking in the taste of her.
Placing her gently in the center of the bed, I fall on top of her, balancing my weight on my elbows. I stare into her striking eyes, breathing her in until she completely consumes me, burning like a raging inferno beneath my skin.
Although we’ve experienced more trauma than two people should ever have to face, leaving as many scars within as we possess on our bodies, when we come together like this, we are molten lava that will destroy anything that tries to come between us.
I slowly lower my head to hers, our breathing accelerating the closer I get. When I finally press my lips against hers, searing heat burns within my veins. As much as I want to devour her, my desire to cherish her outweighs it. I lazily explore her mouth, leisurely moving my lips against hers, as though we have all the time in the world.
Slowly pulling back, I study her long lashes resting against her porcelain cheek before her eyes slowly open. The golden flecks in her brown eyes mesmerize me, matching the lighter streaks in her hair as it flows around her on the bed. Her skin is radiant, the subtle makeup she’s wearing only enhances her beauty.
She’s so fucking gorgeous that it’s almost as though she isn’t real.
When her hand lifts, her fingers stroking my jawline, electricity courses through me from her touch.
Her voice is a breathy whisper as she says, “I love you so damn much, Will.”
My lips tip up in a lazy smile as the back of my hand grazes her cheek, tracing over her soft skin. “I love you so fucking much, goddess. You’re my entire world.” My mouth seals over hers, drowning in her.
