I cross my arms over my chest and huff in annoyance. “For your information, this place is very safe. Only Mia and Kyle know about it, and well, now you. Kyle had Jerry installed cameras and a door alarm. The code to the gate changes every day.”
His eyes narrow on me before glancing around the kitchen. “I see you have the giant island countertop you always wanted.” Before I can answer, he walks to the living room and checks all the window locks before drawing up short. “You planted the Moon Flowers. You did everything you wanted.”
“I learned to go after what I want and someone gave me the courage to never settle for less than what makes me happy.”
The space between us crackles with energy. One move will ignite a fire that will consume us both. I’m sure of it.
“You disappeared again.” His words are soft and filled with blame.
“Jade needed us. We promised to turn our phones off so Onyx couldn’t track us. Not that it did much good anyway.”
Ezra crosses the room to stand in front of me. His fingers trail down the side of my face until he cups my jaw in his hand. “I almost tore down Rosen Records to find you. I left Mason’s tour early because I didn’t know where you were and my security guy wasn’t answering.”
Guilt builds in my chest for the fact that he was so worried. I know I could have texted him earlier or before leaving. I don’t know how to navigate these waters with Ezra. “I’m sorry.”
His green eyes darken and he squeezes my face. “Why do you keep running from me? The real reason, princess. Not just because your friend needed you.”
My tongue darts out to lick my lips and his pupils expand. “I didn’t know I had to tell you. I don’t know what you are to me after…after the last time.”
“The time I had my tongue inside you and then you came on my fingers?”
A blush spreads to my cheeks and my core tightens at the memory, wanting to be full of Ezra again. “Yes.”
We stare at each other and the intensity in his eyes bleeds into the space around us. I gasp when he bends and lifts me into his arms. I quickly wrap my arms around his neck, holding on while he walks us through the house and back to the stairs.
“I’m your protector, your security, your provider, your lover, your everything. I fucking love you, Ocean. That's what I am to you. And you, you’re my fucking wife.” He moves up the stairs and finds my room easily enough.
Having Ezra in my room has always been a fantasy of mine, one that I pushed down deep inside and refused to believe in. Having him here among my things, in my safe space, is a heady feeling. He sets me on my feet and tears spring to my eyes, but he refuses space between us. My hands land on the solid muscleof his chest that I can feel through the soft navy t-shirt he wears. His forehead presses against mine.
“I can’t live without you. You undo me in every way. I don’t think you realize how obsessed I am with you, baby. You own me, Ocean. My heart, my soul, my money, my life depends on you.” He reaches behind his head and grips his t-shirt, pulling it off in one smooth motion.
My mouth goes dry at the sight of his naked torso. His tanned skin stretches across his broad shoulders and the muscles of his stomach. Ezra is achingly beautiful. I run my hands over the ridges on his chest and his eyes close at my touch. He groans low in his throat. That sound alone sends shivers over my skin. I drink in the stubble on his jaw, the ink on his arm and chest, and the fine lines that are starting to form by his eyes. I’ve never cared about our ages. Right now, he looks every bit of his twenty-six years and it’s sexy as hell.
Before I know what I’m doing, I’m reaching for him, and I catch the dangerous, hungry look in his eyes as they flash with victory. My arms wrap around his neck, and he hooks his hands on the back of my legs, under my ass, hoisting my body up and forcing my legs around his waist. Ezra carries me farther into my room until we reach the edge of my bed. His hands lift the end of my tank top and he pulls it off over my head. I feel exposed and lie back on my bed. Ezra wastes zero time and grabs for the waistband on my sleep pants, yanking them off swiftly as well. I shift farther onto my bed, moving toward the middle. Ezra’s eyes watch me with a predatory gleam, taking in every inch of my naked and exposed skin. My nipples harden under his stare and his lips part in response.
He slowly unzips his jeans and steps out of them. He moves slowly, crawling over my body before dropping onto one elbow then the other. My skin burns against his and I press my naked body against his, feeling the weight of him on top of me.
“Tell me what you want, princess. You can have anything. You just have to ask me.”
Desire flows in my veins, my blood sings a song of the love I’ve always felt for this man. A love he once left me for. In turn, I had to dig myself out of a pit of emotional pain and turmoil. But when his hands move over my skin in soft caresses and he looks at me like I’m his world, it’s easy to forget that time. He makes me forget. All that I really want is already at my fingertips.
“I want you.”
He drops his lips to mine, gently pushing them against mine, tasting, gently worshiping. “You already have me, Oce. What else do you want?”
My chest shudders with emotion. “For you to make me come.”
Ezra pulls back, his eyes locking with mine. “With my tongue?”
“Yes.”
“With my fingers?” He continues trailing open mouth kisses down my neck and across my chest.
“Mmhm.” I moan, my hands sliding into his hair.
“My cock?”
“Yes, please.” My head tips back and my body presses up against his. I want all of him and everything he is saying. There is just one thing I haven’t told him yet.
