Nothing in my life could prepare me for the all-encompassing possessiveness I feel for her now. It had always been there, even when we were little, even when she thought I was the devil himself, moving into her house and ripping apart her little world.
But now I’m lost inside her. My primal need to bring her pleasure is almost fucking psychotic. My world is her. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Watching her face, feeling her pussy grip me in her waves of bliss…nothing in my life has ever compared to this.
If anybody tries to come between us now, they’ll die trying.
CHAPTER 15
Kat
I watch him dress as I wrap the sheet around my body, waves of dark emotions raising the hairs on the back of my neck.
He’s still who I grew up with—same body, same face. But, God, it is so much more now. So intrinsic. So intimate. So final.
But what did I expect? You don’t just lay down and let your step-brother take your virginity and expect life to go on unchanged.
It’s not like we need to get to know one another as a new couple. We know nearly everything about each other—every habit, every quirk. Our mutual history already ties us together tighter than any other couple I’ve ever known.
But still, there is the darkness. The forbidden fruit of us together and I know, somehow, it can’t be forever.
Something so wrong can’t last.
Can it?
Trent’s eyebrows furrow as he pulls on his pants. I hear the squeaky brakes of a truck.
“Movers,” he says, with a glance over his shoulder at me. “I told them to come this morning. You tell them where you want your stuff—don’t you dare lift a finger, you hear me? And if you need to go anywhere, Edward takes you. Got it?”
“If Edward is going to be here to take me anywhere, how are you getting to the attorney?”
“Babygirl, I don’t think you understand how much money we have now. Edward will be here for you, I have another driver picking me up. We’ll get out and buy a couple vehicles as soon as we have time. So, you don’t lift a finger, you hear me?”
Looking at him, feeling his protection and his care, it is just like a dream. He is a dream. Men like him, they just shouldn’t exist in reality. Movies, books, billboards, sure. But not flesh and blood. Not for real.
Looking at him now, I feel my old insecurities, fresh and raw. You don’t deserve that. But in this dream, everything is upside down. He’s right here, right in front of me, full of fire and love. I couldn’t have dreamed this up, no matter how hard I tried.
But that doesn’t mean I’m going to roll over so easily. “You’re awful quick with the orders, Colonel Reynolds. I’m not one of your troops. I can take care of my own shit, okay?”
His eyes narrow at me. Intense and disapproving.
I give him a quick smile, but it doesn’t soften the hardness in his eyes. But I don’t budge either. My independence is what drives me. I’ve never relied on anybody. Not even him.
He takes a step into me. “You’re my family. And my baby. I’m here to help you. Get that through your beautiful fucking head, okay? Stop being so fucking stubborn and accept my help.”
The certainty in his voice, the confidence, it makes my independence waver. But only a little. “I am fine on my own, Trent.”
The muscles in his jaw flex and clench. “You drive me fucking crazy.”
I shimmy over to the end of the massive bed and Trent looks down, giving me a kiss on the forehead, holding my shoulders still. His thumb and forefinger grip my chin, forcing me to look up at him.
He holds my stare for one beat. Two. Just enough to tell things have changed between us. “You need to get used to a new life, Kitty Kat. I’m not shitting you. I’m your new Daddy and you’re going to learn to love it.”
Daddy. Daddy. It’s no less powerful to think of that word now that we’re outside the heat of the moment. Deep inside me, it spins my belly and makes a shiver crawl up and down my spine.
“My toes curl every time you say that word.”
“Good,” he growls.
And in that growl, I hear something new. A deep well of something more, something darker, simmering below the surface.
And I don’t know if I’m ready for that at all.
“We’ll see. You’re not my commanding officer, Trent. And I don’t know if you’re my Daddy. But fine. Let them move my stuff. I won’t stop them.”
He flares his nostrils and shakes his head, running his hand through his hair. “I like you fucking bratty like that. A lot. I just hope to fuck the drive to the attorney’s office is long enough to let my dick calm down.”
