“More, Kol.”
Fuck. If I give her more, I might scare her.
“Please.”
Shit.
Hiking her legs up my back, I lock her ankles together over my ass before I reach for her milky thighs. Thea is a small woman, but she has silky, thick thighs that prove to be a good handle for leverage as I quicken the pace of our loving.
“One day,” I grunt as I slam inside of her. “I’m going to take you bareback. Feel this tight pussy heat wrapped around my cock with nothing in the way.”
“Mmmm,” she moans in my ear as I pant in hers.
Her nails dig into my shoulders, and her walls tighten again. She’s close, and I want to come with her. “Give it to me, baby,” I demand.
“Kol!” She cries out into the room. Her cunt is milking my cock for all its worth. My hips pump faster, thrusting in and out of her as intensely as I can. The carnality that washes over my body darkens my vision, and there’s ringing in my ears.
Who knew making love to someone who owns your soul would be so satisfying?
“Thea!” I call out as I wrap my arms around her back and bury my face in her neck, expelling my seed into the tip of the condom and praying for the day to come sooner rather than later when I can take her without it.
Out of breath and muscles turning to jelly, I roll to the side, pulling Thea with me as we gasp for breath. Her hands explore my body as I watch her face.
Her eyes are closed, and a small smile plays on her lips. She’s more relaxed now than I ever thought I’d see her. I like this look on Thea. It makes me feel like I’ve done something right by her after all she’s been through.
Kissing her forehead, I suggest, “Let’s go shower,” wanting to get the condom off my dick.
“That sounds wonderful.” But she doesn’t make a move to get up.
Chuckling, I pick her up as I get off the bed and carry her to the bathroom. “Come on, Sleeping Beauty, let’s get you smelling like peaches again.”
After turning the water on and disposing of the condom, I follow Thea into the spray and watch her like a hawk. I’d hate for what we just did to bring back any bad memories. She’s been through enough; I don’t want to be the cause of any more pain.
“Thank you, Kol.” She kisses my chest and rests her head against my thundering heart.
“For what?” I wash her hair as she rests against me.
“For loving me.” Her words are quiet like she’s afraid I’ll deny them.
Not on her life. “You make it easy to love you, Thea.” I don’t say anything else, and she holds me tighter. The moment is tender and exactly what we both need.
Chapter 13
Thea
I’m deliriously sore and over the moon with happiness. I had no idea that I could ever feel this way. So heavenly. I thought I would be forever lost in my nightmares.
Walking into the kitchen, the smell of coffee invading my nostrils, I can tell from Kol’s body language that something is wrong as he turns around with two cups in his hands.
“Sit down,” he requests before I can say anything.
Sitting at the table, I wait for the news, knowing it must have something to do with my mother and Richard. “Tell me,” I beg. I seem to be demanding that a lot lately.
He watches me for a full minute before answering. “My captain wants you to come in this morning and make a formal statement.”
That’s not as bad as I thought it would be. “Okay.”
He blows out a deep breath. “It’s not going to be me and Noah handling your case, Thea. Special Victims will be brought in. You were tender-aged when everything happened. They have special investigators who will handle this.”
