His fingers glided up and down my spine.
“Cash.” I couldn’t help but beg it.
His hand glided up my back until he gripped a fist in my hair. He tugged my back against his chest, and his lips wisped over the shell of my ear. “Gonna please you, baby. In every way. Going to savor you first. Take it slow. Then I’m going to fuck you so hard there will never be any question of who you belong to.”
My knees knocked.
Was this really happening? Was it real?
“Get on our bed.”
Okay. Yes. I liked the sound of that, and I let go of a shaky exhalation as I peeled myself away from him.
My feet barely cooperated as I tried to balance on the ridiculous heels and sashayed my way toward it, putting extra swing into my hips as I went, praying I didn’t trip and fall flat on my face.
I climbed onto the mattress.
Cash groaned from where he remained in the middle of the room. “Fuck me. You have any idea, Daisy? Do you have any idea what seeing you like this does to me? So fucking pretty in all that satin and lace.”
A sigh whisked out, and I slowly shifted around so I was on my back, propped up on my elbows. My legs pressed together as he looked at me like I was the moon and the stars.
“It’s this, Cash. Being back in a secret room with you and seeing you this way. So beautiful standing over me.”
“That ring on your finger says this is no longer a secret. It’s going to tell every motherfucker out there that you’re mine. Mine to love. Mine to protect. Mine to have.”
My chest arched for him, begging him to make it true.
He kicked out of his shoes and socks and worked through the button and zipper of his pants. He shucked them down, taking his underwear with them.
Cash stood there completely nude. Bare and so freaking beautiful there was no way for me to get the oxygen into my lungs.
He edged forward. The ground shook beneath his feet. The man a dark shroud as he came to stand over me. He reached out and caressed his fingertips from my chin all the way down to the fabric that covered between my trembling thighs.
“Sweet fuckin’ fire.” Cash ground it out, and he took me by an ankle and tugged off one heel then did the same to the other.
“Have half a mind to keep you dressed like this, but I need to see you. Completely bare and laid out for me.”
I nodded erratically, a moan getting loose as he tugged at the little snaps of my garters then began to slowly peel down the stockings.
He pressed his mouth to the skin it exposed, kissing a path down the inside of my leg. He shifted and did the same to the other.
Tingles rushed.
An inferno that lit. So hot I writhed in it.
“A dream. That’s what you are, baby. Can’t believe it’s come to this.”
Reaching out, I let my fingers play down the defined angle of his jaw. “We were always meant to be here. I always believed it.”
A flash of that self-loathing whirled through his eyes before it was consumed by the desire.
A waterfall that crashed and built.
Energy whipped and whirred through the room.
He reached around me, his breaths mine as he peeled down my bodysuit. Cool air brushed over my breasts, and my nipples pebbled with need as he dragged it all the way off.
“Did you hear it? Did you hear my heart calling out for you all these years?” he muttered.
“I think it’s the only reason I was brave enough to come here,” I admitted. “Because I knew what we shared could never be erased.”
Every muscle in his body bunched. A surge of strength. A ripple of protectiveness.
“Not ever going to let you go, Daisy. Not ever again. Promise you. This is it.”
“You couldn’t get rid of me now.” A soggy smile pulled at my mouth as I gazed up at him.
Intensity swelled between us. A knowing that was so much deeper than the surface. An understanding where our souls had always been joined.
“Good thing because wherever you go, I will find you,” he rumbled.
“Is that so?”
“God’s honest truth.” He dipped down to press a bunch of kisses to my belly. “Nothing in this world could keep me away from you.”
I squirmed and sighed, and he kept peppering kisses all over the soft swell of my stomach before he wound his way over me, climbing onto the bed and between my thighs.
His big, brutal body bare.
His huge penis bobbed against my belly, and heat blistered in the space that separated us. Flames that licked and lapped as the mood dipped between dizzying light and crushingly heavy.
Our eyes locked as a solemn promise was woven between our spirits.
