My breasts heave within my bra. He covers my right nipple with his hot mouth and sucks over the fabric. I buck when he starts to massage my folds and his groan vibrates through me.
“I need you too,” he says as he looks up at me.
Cupping his face, I look deep into his eyes and see that something is wrong. Physically he’s okay, but something’s not right. I lift and take his lips.
He takes over with that rhythmic kissing of his. His pace is slow and soul stirring. This kiss says he plans to make love to me. It won’t be rushed.
Peeling my shirt from my body, he starts to drop kisses all over my face, neck, shoulders, across my arms, down my stomach. He takes that time to worship every inch of skin. He makes good on the promise I see in his gaze.
Burying his face between my thighs, he devours me in a way that has me seeing stars. I cling to his hair. The silky strands grounding me to him and the now.
My panic attack is forgotten as I get lost in him and his sensual touch. I can’t think of anything other than the man between my thighs. When I come, it’s a powerful one. Knight licks my inner thighs in pleasure before diving back in to bring me to the edge once more.
Coming back to my mouth he takes my lips more deeply this time. There he goes speaking without words. We’ve been doing it for weeks.
Sharing moments that continue to change our relationship and bring us closer. My mind races as it wars against whether I should release those three words this time. It’s not safe. I want it to be, but I know it’s not.
I gasp into his mouth when he enters me. We’re both still clothed, yet I feel closer to him than ever. I wrap my legs around his waist digging my heels into his ass.
“I’ll always be here to take care of you,” he says against my neck as he moves there to suck the flesh between his lips.
I squeeze my eyes shut and dare to believe his words. I want him to be here for me. I can’t even fight it anymore.
“Knight,” I choke out. But I can’t say the rest. Tears roll back into my ears.
“I know, baby.”
I lie there in his arms and allow him to make love to me. Reality sets in. Knight Moran has stolen my heart completely, and I’m more terrified than I’ve ever been.
Where do we go from here?
CHAPTER 34
Stay With Me
Knight
I brush my fingers against her cheek. Searching her eyes, I find my girl at peace. I feel so fucked up for scaring her.
I know about her triggers, I should have known better. They’re the reason why she always backs away. They’re the reasons I allow her too. But this time she’s here.
“Stay with me,” I murmur.
She shifts in the bed and places her hand over my heart. It feels so right to be like this with her. I cover her small hand with mine and brush my finger back and forth over it.
“You’re in my bed.” She laughs. “You would be staying with me.”
“That’s not what I mean.”
“What do you mean?”
I smooth her hair back from her face. She let loose her natural hair for me. It seems longer and thicker than the last time.
“Can you take some time off?”
“I don’t know if I can make that happen right now.”
“Can you work from home? We don’t have to go away. I just want some time alone. A few days to be together without the world.”
She searches my gaze. The wheels are turning as she looks for something. I don’t realize I’m holding my breath until she replies.
“Okay, I think I can make that happen. I don’t have many court dates on my calendar. This may be one of the weeks with nothing on it. I’ll have to check. The rest I can have my assistant bring over,” she says thoughtfully.
“Perfect,” I croon and press my lips to hers.
“You had a crush on me?”
I groan. I told her that in a moment of panic. I needed to calm her down. I would have told her anything to get her to breathe.
“Yeah, I did. I wanted to ask you to my senior prom.”
“Really?” she says and sits up, the sheet falling down to her waist.
I cup one of her breasts and lean in to kiss her. The distraction works for a moment. When I pull away, she has a dazed look in her eyes.
“Why didn’t you ask me?”
“I got into a fight with one of Legend’s friends. After that, he wouldn’t let me around you. Trust me, I tried.”
She bursts into laughter. She’s gorgeous when she laughs. The way her eyes sparkle and shine captivates me.
