“Oh god, how?”
“Most of the intel is still classified, but it was through body shops and car dealerships. It was almost impossible to find out who was really clean and who was there undercover.” I sigh, thinking about that last night. “Someone leaked to the feds about a freight of new cars arriving late at the docks. They said the shipment was their biggest yet, and all the bosses would be there.”
“Was it a set-up?” Her eyes widen, and I shake my head.
“No, I think that’s why it went so bad so fast. They didn’t expect us to be there, and when we showed up they panicked.” I touch the soft skin of her cheek, happy that her tears have stopped. “Someone got scared and threw some kind of explosive in my direction. There were several barrels around me, and I caught most of the shrapnel in my face.”
“Donovan.” She reaches for me, like she wants to make sure I’m really here.
“The doctors kept telling me how lucky I was to be alive, but all I could think about was the what if. What if it would have killed me? What if because of my scars I’d never be able to go out in public again?”
“That’s so sad.”
“You can stand here and think about what might have been. But that night on the docks hardened me and turned me cold.” I smile and rub my thumb across her lips. “Until a ray of sunshine came into my life carrying packages and wearing ribbons in her hair.”
“That’s so sweet.” She leans in to my touch.
“And then the what if game started all over.” I tilt her chin back and kiss her softly. “What if I found the love of my life?” I look right into her eyes as I say it and tuck a lock of hair behind her ears. “What if I found the woman I’m going to marry?”
She swallows as I stare at her and let her absorb all that I’m saying.
“What if she’s afraid because she thinks she has to choose between loving me and taking care of her father?”
“Donovan, I don’t—”
“You’ll never have to make that choice, sunshine.” Picking her up in my arms, I carry her to the bed and lay her down on it as I come over top of her. “I love you, and I’m not going anywhere.”
Before she can answer me back, my mouth claims hers in a searing kiss that’s meant to show her exactly what that means to me. Love can be just words, but I want it to be actions too. I want Gracie to feel safe and protected no matter what path she has to walk down. As long as she lets me be by her side, that’s all I’ll ever need.
“I want you, sunshine,” I say against her lips as I unbutton her jeans and push them down her hips. “All of you.”
She nods and helps me take them off along with her panties. Then she starts pulling at my shirt at the same time I tug hers off. We’re both hurrying now, desperate to be skin to skin as her hand dips into my boxer briefs.
“Off,” she demands as she pushes them over my ass and my cock springs free.
In just a few minutes, we’re stripped bare and I’m spreading her legs open. “Need to taste you,” I grunt as I wedge her legs open with my shoulder and go straight for her pussy. I’m so thirsty, and the only thing that’s going to satisfy me is her sweet little cunt. “Like fucking sugar,” I moan as I suck on her lower lips and then run my tongue over every inch. I want all of her, and I want her dripping for my cock.
“I know you’re not on the pill,” I say as I push two fingers inside of her and suck on her clit.
“Oh god.”
“You gonna let me cum in you?” She shivers as her hands go to my hair and grip me tight. She rocks her hips against my face and moans. “I’ll cum on you if you want.” I curl my fingers inside of her touching her secret spot. “But I want it here.”
With a flick of my tongue over her clit again, she cries out and nods. “Yes, in me.” All she can do is pant as she squeezes her eyes shut.
“That’s my girl.” I cover her pussy with my mouth and suck on her as my tongue rolls back and forth over her sensitive little bud.
She’s clawing the sheets and fighting her orgasm until I give her no choice but to fall over the edge. Her cry is loud, and I love the way my name rings in my ears.
While her pussy is still clenching around my fingers, I sit up and slide my cock through her wetness before I thrust all the way inside. She gasps, and her eyes fly open, but I don’t move. I hold myself deep, letting her tight sheath get used to the intrusion.
