“You take me so fucking well.” His baritone voice sends my nerves haywire as he pistons in and out with brutal force.

All concern falls by the wayside as his other hand continues to expertly roll circles around my clit and I quickly find myself chasing another orgasm.

“You’re going to come all over me while I fill you with every last fucking drop,” He growls and my entire body shivers, “Come, Lara.”

His words are the end of me and stars coat my vision as an intense orgasm rocks through my exhausted body.

My toes curl, and my pussy clenches as my nails scrape his skin again. He drives hard into me as his cock throbs, his own release cresting over him as he thrusts one, two more times before stopping, kissing me deeply in long lazy movements.

He withdraws himself but keeps my body pulled tight to his as we stay like that for a long moment, exploring each other's mouths in the afterglow of our orgasms.

After a short while our kiss breaks off, and he leans his forehead against mine.

“No one is allowed to hurt you and get away with it. Not now, not in the future. I will kill anyone who tries. Do you understand?”

The ferocity in his eyes is genuine as his gaze searches mine, and regardless if the future is unknown, though my life is being thrown into an abyss of uncertainty I can’t help but feel like at this moment I am truly safe.

Is this what it is like to love someone? To be loved?

I nod, the tears in my eyes running down my face unbidden as I squeeze them shut.

“As long as breath fills my lungs,” He says quietly, pressing a kiss to my forehead, “I will keep you safe.”

My chest squeezes as he shifts my weight, pulling my back flush to his front, his arms encircling my shoulders tightly as he relaxes with me in his lap.

Leaning my head back against him, the hum of the jets and the rise and fall of his chest with each breath brings a newfound sense of peace, and he gently traces lines over my skin.

My eyes slowly become heavier, and it feels as though I’m melting into him as comfort and security seep within my bones.

For the first time in my life, I find myself at complete ease, and it’s because I’m wrapped in the arms of a man who has killed countless people including those I once called my parents.

I’m painfully aware that tonight, I’ve given an intimate and irreplaceable piece of my heart to this man, but I find myself with no reservations, no regrets, no suspicions.

It’s entirely possible that a part of me has always hoped I could trust him, and now I just trust he will not break it.

Perhaps that is part of the beauty of human nature and falling for someone.

I suddenly feel cold and a shiver wracks through my body and as he cradles me to his chest. My arms instinctively wrap around his neck and I lean my head into him, breathing in his familiar scent as the water trickles off my skin.

His body rumbles with a deep chuckle, and in the corner of my eye, I watch the shared bathroom come into view before he sets me down on the long counter. My skin goosebumps against the cold surface and I suppress a gasp as Darian methodically grabs fresh towels and starts the shower.

Once satisfied with the temperature, he cradles me and moves until we’re submerged beneath the steady fall of water before easing me down to my shaky legs.

I watch with rapt attention as he lathers soap over my body, and shampoo into my hair.

By the time we’re both clean, I’m so exhausted that I could fall asleep while standing as we dry off, and it’s not long before he sweeps me off my feet to carry me into the bedroom.

I’m vaguely aware as he lays me down, pulling the thick, plush blankets over me before the bed shifts with movement and my mind goes blissfully quiet.

Caspian

“We received word last night on her location. We have units tracking her movements and positioning for engagement.”

Pinching the bridge of my nose, I blow out a breath.

This was a development I didn’t see coming, but if opportunity arises I’d be a fool not to take advantage if she is vulnerable and out of place. It’s surprising that she remained in such an obvious location so easily observed and lacking thorough security.
