We sat for a long time in silence. Slowly, the tension in his arms eased, his heart slowed and the lines in his face faded.
I had no idea what Deck and him talked about, but Connor stayed.
He was going to try.
And maybe we’d have our second chance.
His hand stroked up my back to my neck where his fingers gently caressed beneath my hair. Goose bumps rose and I sighed, tilting my head to look at him. His brilliant blue eyes were open and calm as our gazes met.
I had so many questions, but it wasn’t the time, so I gave him a subtle smile, my fingers curling into his shirt. “I like this.” He remained quiet but he was listening so I continued, “You holding me until it passes. I like that a lot.”
“Me too, baby,” he murmured before he bent and kissed me.
It was slow, but there was nothing soft about it as his lips claimed mine. His hand on the back of my neck pulled me closer and I sank further into him. There was so much within that kiss as we held one another. It was his promise to me he’d stay this time. And it was our promise to keep fighting for one another.
He broke the kiss and rested his forehead against mine. “Love you so damn much, Alina.” My heart nearly burst through my chest. “I don’t want to hurt you. Tell me I won’t hurt you.”
“You won’t hurt me, Connor. I trust you.” The trust in himself was lacking but I had enough for both of us. Maybe it was what we went through that made it so strong. Maybe I knew he wouldn’t because even when he was drugged, Connor had never hurt me. It didn’t matter though, until he learned to trust himself again, I’d be there for him.
“I promised Deck I’d have blood taken. I don’t know if it will help, but as long as I don’t have to go to a hospital or some doctor’s office, it can’t hurt.” A subtle grin appeared. “Except for that big-ass needle piercing my vein and draining my blood.”
I smiled. “But you’re okay with piercing people with your fangs and draining their blood?” Question number one, vampire or werewolf, he’d said vampire because they sucked on women’s necks. And, of course, were strong as hell, he liked that fact, too.
He chuckled and my chest swelled at the sound. “I love that you remember, baby. But, shit, yeah. Vampires rule.” Then he trickled kisses along my brow to my ear where his warm heated breath wafted across my skin. His tongue licked the side of my neck and then his teeth gently nipped.
I sucked in air then moaned as he licked the spot before he kissed it. “Connor?”
“Yeah?” He continued to kiss my neck, across my throat to the hollow where he swirled his tongue.
Oh, God, he had me wet with a few simple kisses.
My hands drifted across his chest to his pants where I slid the button through the slit. “I want to taste you. Then I want to ride you.” I dragged the zipper down, where his cock was already hard inside his boxer briefs.
“Fuck,” he said in a gruff, ragged tone.
I shifted off his lap to my knees, hands on his thighs as I slowly widened them and shuffled closer. My eyes trailed over the large bulge in his pants then my hand followed the path slipping inside his pants. My fingers curled around his heated cock and he groaned. I freed it from the confines then held the base firm in my grip before lowering my head.
He sucked in his breath when I licked the tip, the salty sweetness clinging to my tongue. His fingers weaved into my hair then he roughly fisted the strands.
“Jesus,” he murmured as I drew him into my mouth.
I took as much as I could, relaxing my throat as his cock hit my gag reflex. I swirled my tongue and sucked, my hand squeezing the base harder.
“Alina.” He raised his hips, shoving his cock further down my throat and I gagged for a second. “Sorry. Shit. Harder, baby. Harder.”
I sucked harder.
“Faster.”
I moved up and down, sucking, my hand moving up when my mouth did. God, I loved this. Not just his cock in my mouth, but what I did to him.
“Oh, fuck, baby. You need to stop. I’m going to come and I want to have my cock inside you when I do.” He grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled me up. “Pants off. Now.”
I smiled then licked my lips and he groaned, his eyes flicking to my tongue. His eyes blazed with desire, but there was also a hint of frustration as his brows furrowed.
“Now,” he ordered and his hands moved to my grey yoga pants.
