“That’s pathetic,” I whispered.
Then I kissed her.
Our mouths met in an explosion of passion.
My hands moved to her lower back where I pulled her in so tight that not a millimeter of space separated us.
But it was as she was encircling her arms around my neck that I realized my mistake.
If I made this jump. If I did this… I wouldn’t be able to let go.
I wouldn’t be able to let her go.
And, regardless of my earlier words, I wasn’t a heartless man.
I couldn’t put her through that when I knew that her heart was already partially invested.
I pulled away from her, and she cried out in defiance.
“No,” I said. “We can’t.”
She didn’t like that answer.
I could tell.
But it was the only one that she was going to get.
Our breathing ragged, she asked me what I could tell she’d been wanting to ask me since I’d told her the story of my child.
“What happened?” she asked. “Tell me everything. Your daughter. Tell me everything.”
I looked at her and told her every single gory detail, ending with how I’d buried my daughter that’d been nothing but a burnt husk of a shell.
“You can’t give up,” she pleaded. “Can’t you see that you’re letting them win?”
I didn’t care.
With her, I wasn’t willing to take that chance. Not ever again.
“Then they win.”
Her eyes cried out.
“Please,” she cried softly. “You can’t do this.”
I walked forward and wiped away the tears with a sweep of my thumb.
“You have one more night,” I told her. “Then everything you know about me is finished.”
She shook her head.
“I won’t accept that.” She poked me in the chest. “I won’t. I can’t.”
I slammed my mouth down onto hers, and she moaned, wrapping those long arms around my neck and holding on for all she was worth.
I allowed her to, bringing that delicious body that would tempt a fuckin’ monk and forced her to feel every single long inch of me.
“You make me forget to breathe,” she whispered into my ear, her hot breath on the pulse of my neck.
“You make me forget to be the man I am,” I countered. “And that spells death.”
She shifted, and it was then I realized she came into my club without anything under that hot dress of hers.
“You’re asking for trouble,” I growled against her throat.
“I’m asking for you.”
I dragged my fangs against the milky white skin of her neck, causing her to shiver.
“Can’t take much,” I whispered. “You donated today, and we can’t have you fainting on me.”
She scored my chest with her nails, drawing what little blood I had left in my body that wasn’t currently centered in my dick, causing me to jerk.
“Jesus Christ,” I hissed, jerking her hand away.
Before I could so much as ask what the fuck that was for, her mouth was on my chest, licking up the thick droplets of blood that were welling at the cut. Though the cut was healing before her eyes, it still remained open long enough for her to get her fair share of my blood.
“Tricky,” I growled. “Are you wanting me to take more?”
My grin wasn’t angelic in the least.
And the moment I sank my fangs into her neck and tasted that addicting sweetness on my tongue, I lost control.
Our clothes were suddenly gone, and she was pressed up against the one-way glass with nothing covering her but her hair. My cock was at her entrance almost before I consciously made the decision for it to be, and the minute my length slipped inside of her fully, I realized two things.
One, I was so far gone for this woman that I might not be able to find my way out again.
And two, I wanted her more than I wanted anything in my life. Until this day, I would’ve begged, pleaded, stolen, or cajoled to get my daughter back.
But I knew now, that as much as I wanted her back, she was gone.
Acadia, though? She wasn’t. She was very much here.
Very much in my arms.
So hot inside that I wanted to scream out the injustice of not being able to have her every day for the rest of my life. When I wanted her. Where I wanted her.
“Oh, God,” she cried out as I viciously sank my cock inside her willing pussy. “I can feel you in my belly.”
I growled out something incoherent and started to fuck my cock up into her while I pinned her to the glass.
The entire front of her body was plastered to the cool pane, and her hair was tangled around both of our necks as I started to take her harder than I intended.
The woman made me lose my goddamn mind, though.
I couldn’t think. Couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t function.
The minute my cock was inside of her, I lost all touch with reality.
There was only her. Her pussy, and the way she felt around me.
