His lips come down on the side of my neck, working up to the sensitive spot just below my ear as my eyes roll. His arm winds around my body, slipping down between my thighs and finding my center. He rubs tight circles over my clit, and my whole world falls to pieces.
“Killian,” I breathe.
“I know, Angel,” he murmurs, and I can’t help but feel as though this is the goodbye I didn’t get this morning. In an instant, he turns and lifts me into the safety of his warm arms.
My legs lock around his waist as he steps around the edge of my bed, bringing his lips to mine and kissing me deeply before lowering me to my bed. He comes down with me and reaches between us as he frees his straining erection against my stomach.
I feel his fingers curling around himself, pumping up and down as he continues to kiss me. His lips move down to my throat, and I reach for his face, lifting just enough for his dark gaze to lock onto mine. “I was falling in love with you,” I tell him.
Killian nods, and the tip of his cock pushes at my entrance, slowly stretching me wide. “I know.”
He keeps going until he’s fully seated inside of me, and as he finally starts to fuck me, he holds on to me as though the idea of ever letting me go is simply unheard of. It’s everything, yet excruciatingly heartbreaking at the same time.
He moves in and out, every thrust of his thick cock working me to the edge, and when he reaches down between us and gently rubs his fingers over my clit, my whole body begins to shake. I throw my head back as my chest heaves for sweet oxygen.
His other hand grips my waist, his fingers digging into me as he holds on for dear life. “Chiara,” he murmurs.
“Don’t stop,” I gasp, feeling the familiar tightening deep inside of me, building like a coil preparing to spring. “Don’t ever stop.”
He gives me everything I need, just as he always has, and as that coil gets tighter and tighter, the intensity builds. I can’t hold on to it a moment longer, and as he thrusts inside of me again, stretching me so damn wide, I explode in a dazzling mess around him.
My pussy wildly convulses, squeezing him so damn tight that he comes with me, shooting his hot load deep inside of me. His hold tightens on my waist, but he doesn’t stop moving as my high consumes me, fucking me like his one and only queen.
My chest rises and falls with rapid movement, desperately trying to catch my breath as I finally begin to come back down to earth. My world is shattered like glass as I come undone, knowing that this part of me will always belong to him.
It was barely a month spent together, but it was enough to leave a scar right in the center of my chest, and I know without a doubt that I will never be the same.
Killian’s body stills, but he leaves his cock seated deep inside of me, caging his arms around my body and rolling us until he’s sitting against the headboard with me straddled over his strong thighs.
“You must know that it was never my intention to hurt you.”
“Whether it was your intention or not, that’s exactly what you did.”
“I know, Angel. And I will live my life with the weight of your pain on my shoulders.”
I nod, more than okay for him to have to carry around the guilt for how this went down as I desperately try to hold back the tears that threaten to spill. “You don’t get to do this, Killian,” I tell him. “You don’t get to waltz back into my life whenever you want. If you’re letting me go, then let me go. Give me a chance to try and find some kind of normalcy. You’ve broken me, and if I don’t get to have you, then you don’t get to have any part of me.”
“It’s not that simple,” he says. “Letting go . . . It’s not something I know how to do. I know I was the one to push you away, and despite how I feel, I have no choice but to stand by that. For your sake and for mine. This cannot work between us, not without consequence, and I refuse to put your life at risk for my own selfish desires. But for you, I will try. I will let go and give you the chance to rebuild your life.”
My brows furrow, really taking in his words. “You told me this morning that we couldn’t work because our relationship had progressed to a point where it was no longer beneficial for you, but that’s not true, is it?” I ask, sitting up a little straighter. “This is because of Monica. Because she hired some asshole to try and take me out.”
