“Yes,” I encourage him. “Take me roughly, my love.”
He pulls out of me before slamming freaking hard back inside me, then he proceeds to fuck me like a savage.
His rock-hard abdomen slaps the everliving hell out of my asscheeks, and I love it.
As his thrusts come harder and faster, I’m pushed onto my stomach, his full weight pushing me hard into the mattress.
I open my legs as wide as I can while whimpers spill over my lips. “Yes. Yes. Yes,” I moan the words over and over.
His breaths are ragged, his body moving like a violent storm against mine. “Christ,” he grunts. “I fucking love how well you take my cock.”
“Max,” I gasp, unadulterated desire and need tensing my muscles. “Harder. I want to feel you inside me while you’re gone.”
His hand wraps around the back of my neck, and I’m pressed deeper into the mattress. With the brutal grip he has on me, he fucks me raw until I’m deliriously begging, “Please. Please. Please.”
“Come,” he growls the order I desperately need to hear.
His other hand connects with my asscheek, and it has pleasure tearing through me. It’s so intense I can’t breathe and only manage a moan.
God, the way this man fucks me is mind-blowing.
Max buries himself deep inside me with a harsh grunt, then his body collapses on top of mine as he orgasms, his cock jerking inside me.
“Jesus,” I gasp, trying to catch my breath.
He pulls out and rolls off me, his breath racing over his parted lips.
I move closer to him and snuggle against his side while my eyes drift over his naked body, that’s nothing short of a masterpiece.
I rest my hand on his chest and say, “I’m going to miss you.”
He wraps his arm around my shoulders and kisses the top of my head, “I’ll be back before you know it.”
God, I hope so.
Once we’ve caught our breaths, Max climbs out of bed and walks to the bathroom. I hear the shower turn on, then he says, “Come join me.”
With a smile, I slip off the bed and going to the bathroom, I step into the shower with him. Taking the body wash, I squirt some into my hand, then say, “Stand still while I wash you.”
His mouth lifts in a rare hot smirk as my palms glide over his skin. I try to memorize every inch of his body before I’m done.
Max takes his time washing me, and the moment he’s finished, he kisses me tenderly. It’s filled with the promise that he’ll come back to me.
His arms engulf me against his chest, and he holds me for a long while.
“Don’t worry, baby. This is what I do. I’ll come back to you. I promise.”
“You better,” I whisper. “I can’t lose you too.”
He pushes me back and locks eyes with me. “I’m the best at what I do. You can’t worry every time I leave.”
Lifting my hand, I place my palm against his jaw. “I’ll always worry, Max.” My lips curve up into a tender smile. “When you told me you loved me, you signed up for a lifetime of me worrying about every little thing you do. I know you’re used to being a lone wolf, but you’re not alone anymore. I’m here now.”
Emotion fills his eyes, and he looks at me as if I’m his beginning and end. “Thank you, Camille.” He tilts his head, his love for me showing on his face. “Thank you for falling in love with me, for caring about what happens to me, for bringing happiness into my life.”
I lift myself onto my tiptoes and press a soft kiss to his mouth. “I love you, Max. With all my heart.”
Chapter 37
Max
As we touch down on the island just before midnight, I hold Cami’s hand tightly, wanting to savor every moment I get to touch her before I have to leave her behind.
Until the emotional moment we shared in the shower, I haven’t recently thought of the secret I’m keeping from her.
It’s not that I’ve forgotten, but we’ve been busy settling into our life together and discovering who was behind Maurice’s death.
I thought I could keep the secret forever and take it to my grave. I thought I didn’t have to marry Cami, that we could just enjoy our lives together as a couple.
I was wrong.
After the emotional moment in the shower where she made me understand I now have someone who worries about my safety, I realized I want the ultimate commitment between us. I want her to take my last name. I want to have children with her.
I want to marry Cami.
And for that to happen, I have to come clean and hope to all that’s holy, she forgives me. It’s either that or I’ll fucking hold her prisoner until she learns to love me again.
