“You've been through so much, and you've had to do it all by yourself,” Ethan whispers as his fingers slowly caress my cheek.
Rubbing my nose, I shake my head. “It's nothing.”
“Bullshit. It's more than any human being can bear. Asher is fortunate to have a mother like you.” His lips release a sigh, both pained and resigned at the same time, and he pulls my body into his. “Come here,” he tells me.
His arms open for me, and he welcomes me in, allowing me to cuddle against his chest as he gently caresses my hair.
His touch makes me feel safe. He allows me, for a moment, to simply forget about everything.
“I don't know how I'll figure it out,” I admit, distressed.
“You don't have to do it alone,” Ethan reassures me.
He lifts my face and makes me look into his eyes. The intensity of his gaze overwhelms and bewitches me at the same time.
“You can count on me now. I'll protect you,” he promises.
His hands are soft and warm as they run over my head. His fingers glide across my skin with ease, and he pulls me lightly against his mouth.
Before I realize it, I'm kissing him with more security than I've ever felt. The rhythm of his embrace reminds me how much I need him at this moment.
Desperately surrendering, I entrust myself to him, convinced that with him in my life, there's a sense of security that I've never known.
Feeling an overwhelming call to his body, I climb onto his lap and allow him to roam my skin with sweet caresses and fill my ears with words of affection.
He kisses me deeply, his tongue tangling with mine as his hands explore my body. I moan into his mouth, feeling his cock pressing against my throbbing pussy, my lips wet and swollen from his kisses.
The fire roars between us, consumes all our anxiety and fading memories. I feel calm now, unburdened, floating in Ethan's arms as our lips seamlessly melt into one another.
Our unity is new, deep, almost spiritual. I thought we were connected before, but it seems telling him everything opened us up to something deeper.
His fingers massage my neck, my shoulders, and slide down my back, cupping my ass. I need more.
I need Ethan to make love to me…
CHAPTER TWELVE
KRISTINE
I need to forget,if only for a moment that my life is officially fucked. My ex-husband has my son, and a mad man wants me to help him kill an elected official.
The cool air kisses my skin. I shiver slightly and sink into Ethan's embrace. The arms that keep me warm and hold me up. Tonight, I could have lost it all. The blackmail from Brandon and Dexter had me blind.
“You're beautiful,” he whispers, his breath tickling my ear. I turn my head and look up at him, meeting his gaze. Those striking brown eyes hold me captive once again, like they always do.
He brushes his lips against my temple, his hand sliding down my side to rest on my hip. The warmth of his touch sends shivers down my spine, reminding me of how safe I feel in his arms.
It's as if sharing my truth tonight unlocked a need only he can satisfy. A need to lose myself in his touch and rhythm.
Ethan seems to sense my need, his hands trailing down my back, cupping my ass, and pulling me closer. His lips move hungrily against mine, his tongue probing deep into my mouth.
“Fuck, Kristine... I don't want to push you.” His hands slip under the thin fabric of my underwear and cup my bare skin.
As I moan into his mouth, I feel a strange sense of empowerment wash over me. A rush of control that I didn't know existed within me.
Ethan's body shivers beneath me, and the knowledge that I can elicit such a response fills me with a newfound confidence. Our tongues dance together, exploring each other's mouths.
My breath catches in my throat as he kneads my flesh, his fingers finding their way to the edge of my bra. He peels back the fabric and takes a nipple in his mouth.
