My thoughts jumbled as she swirled her tongue around mine.
No more thoughts. Only emotion. Pure emotion and physical need. I needed this woman. Needed her in more than a physical and emotional sense. It had transcended beyond that.
This was what my brothers had found, and now I knew why they would never let it go.
I’d never let this woman go.
I groaned into Ruby’s mouth, trying to express all the feelings jumbling in my head with this one kiss. I ached for her, longed for her, needed her in the most visceral way.
Damn it, I would have her. I stood and lifted her, turning her so her back was to me. “Hold on to the edge of the tub,” I demanded.
With a swift thrust, I entered her, filling her balls deep. “Ah!” A groan of satisfaction left my lips.
This was what it felt like to be home. Home within the body of my love.
I had to tell her. Had to tell her I’d fallen in love with her. Had to tell her she was moving in with me, and I wasn’t taking no for an answer.
I demanded everything from her. Right now, and I demanded it as I pounded into her body, taking what was mine. For that’s what she was now.
Mine.
I plunged as deeply as I could, taking refuge in her tight little pussy, in her beautiful body. Away from the mess my life had become. Away…
And I came into her, making her mine as I filled her with my semen.
When the orgasm finally subsided and my flaccid penis slipped from her slick channel, I sat down into the water, bringing her with me onto my lap.
“I needed that,” I said.
She nodded, saying nothing.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t give you a climax.”
“That’s okay.” She let out what sounded like a nervous laugh.
My heart was pounding so hard against my sternum. I had so much to tell her. So much to give her. So much…and I feared she wouldn’t be ready to receive it.
She’d have to.
There was no going back for me now.
I was all in.
I looked deeply into her blue eyes.
“Ruby. I’m in love with you.”
Chapter Twenty-Three
Ruby
I’m in love with you.
I played the words over and over in my mind, the steam swirling around us, our skin slick from the combination of warm water and perspiration.
Those words I’d never expected to hear in my life…and they’d come from Ryan Steel. One of the Steel brothers, the best catches in Colorado.
