I don’t care for one second that we weren’t safe, as all I care about in this moment is the fact that I just experienced the best sex of my entire life, he loves me, and that now I am his in every single way.
“So, I wasn’t just a one-time lay then? Your promises of forever are legit? Not just a line to get me into your bed?”
“Did you not hear what I just told you? You could never be just a woman I fool around with once and then toss to the side.”
I shake my head and bite my bottom lip again. “Tell me again,” I murmur.
“I love you, Rebecca Kennedy.”
“You better love me, Alexander, because I love you too.”
His lips find mine again and he rolls me onto my back. I feel his erect cock at my entrance and open my legs wide in invitation for him. He breaks the kiss and looks deeply into my eyes, and our souls connect as he slowly enters me once more.
The second time was slow and gentle, not the rough frenzied fuck we had first. This time he made love to me, and it was different. Not something I would usually enjoy, but with Black, I could tell he was doing it to show he really cared.
We lie on the bed wrapped around each other, a tangle of arms and legs, my arm resting on his muscular chest.
“When you said you’ve put me in danger by claiming me, just how much danger are we talking?” I ask when he offers no more explanation since mentioning it earlier.
“I’m going to tell you everything—it’s a bit of a long story, but one you deserve to hear now you have chosen to be with me.” He pauses. “I know it may change how you feel about me, but please know I don’t want it to. You are mine, I mean that, I want you forever and I’m never letting you go. I can’t do it.”
“I understand. Just tell me everything, be honest with me, it’s what relationships are about.”
He pulls my face closer to his and kisses me, pushing his tongue inside my mouth to claim me, mark me as his. All too soon it’s finished and he is pushing himself to sit up on the bed, leaning his large frame against the headboard. I scoot up the bed closer to him and take his hand in mine. He looks deeply into my eyes and nods.
“Okay, so you know that I’m wealthy, obviously, and that you came here as your parents owed me a large debt.”
I nod once. “Yes, I know that part, go on.”
“Well, I’m a successful techy. I make technology software and sell it to the highest bidder. Most of the time I sell it to legitimate companies, banks, stock market traders, the military, for example. So, most of my money comes from being totally legitimate and completely above board.”
I nod, gesturing him to continue.
“But there is also the other side of my business. I have a large gun distribution business. Anillegalgun distribution business.”
I think about that for a second. It doesn’t change how I feel about him, but there is something I need to ask. “And are you just one of many different guys trying to win the battle for the most ground covered? Or are you a kingpin that others are trying to knock of the perch?”
“A turf war is coming, that’s why I have been away so much lately. When you first came here, everything was exactly how it needed to be, and I thought I could finally have a normal life, well, as normal as a man like me can actually have. Then after Lexington came that day, I heard whispers that they knew I had someone and the best way to take me down was to go through you. That’s why I cut off what was happening between us. I would cause myself pain to protect you, Rebecca. You need to believe me when I tell you I would happily be miserable for the rest of my life just to make sure you are safe. I promise you that with every part of me.”
“But you couldn’t fight it anymore,” I state.
“When you left, I thought you’d been taken. The worst kinds of things went through my mind. What if Lexington’s men had got you? And if they had, the things they would have done to you made my heart ache.”
“You mean those guys who had me yesterday….” I can’t finish.
“Yes, I have long suspected that’s who they work for. They are ruthless men, Rebecca, they take women and break them, then if the women somehow survive the torture in relatively okay condition, they’re sold to the highest bidder. They’re sick fucks, and I couldn’t have them take you, I couldn’t let them take what’s mine. And in that moment, I knew it didn’t matter if we were together or not, they were going to come after you to get to me. I couldn’t keep my feelings to myself anymore.” He pauses, inhaling a breath. “Why did you run from me?” His eyes are wide—he wants to hear whatever it is I have to tell him.
I knew he would ask eventually, and after the story he just shared with me I want him to know why. “You treated me like I didn’t even exist, and that wouldn’t have been so bad if we hadn’t started connecting when I first arrived, when we first spent time together. Alexander, what we have is electric. I felt it the very first time you kissed me, and I feel it every time we touch. Then out of the blue you just shut me out and I figured you had realized you’d made a mistake by bringing me here, and I couldn’t be in a house with someone who couldn’t even look at me, let alone talk to me.”
“I never meant to hurt your feelings, sweetheart, I never want you to be hurting. It’s my job as your partner to protect you from ever feeling pain.” His hand reaches out to cup my cheek, his thumb brushing absentmindedly against my skin.
“But Iwasfeeling pain, and you were the one causing it,” I let him know honestly.
“And I’ll never forgive myself for that. I’ll never leave you. There will never again be a day where you are alone. I will be by your side for the rest of my life. It will be dangerous at times, your life with me, I won’t deny it. But for a love like ours, I think it’s worth it. What do you say?” He leans forward and takes my face between his large hands.
I snuggle into the feel of his skin on mine. His touch is what I have craved the past five months, and the sex was the most incredible of my entire life. I know within my heart I’ll never come close to feeling the way I do for anyone else the way I feel about Alexander Black. There may be dangers ahead, but I’m not scared. We will face them together, head on as a team.
“Well…” I start. Alexander just looks at me, waiting for me to continue. “I have two conditions.”
