Chapter Six
Haley
Something’s wrong. I don’t know if it’s the guys staring at me or if I did something to upset him, but Elijah hasn’t stopped snarling since the restaurant.
“No news from the doctor?” I ask, wondering if I missed him getting a message while I was admiring the beauty around us or rather avoiding Elijah’s intense stare. How is it that even in a crowded place the man makes me want to crawl over a table and onto his lap to kiss those pouty lips until he’s growling for an entirely different reason?
“No. I’m going to take a shower, so I don’t have to rush in the morning.”
“Okay, baby.” He lightens up just a bit. I wash quickly because a plan comes to mind and as soon as I’m out I see his eyes rise up. “Holy hell.”
“Something wrong?” I ask as he stares at me in just his pajama bottoms. Fuck me. His bare chest is broad with ripped muscles from his shoulders down to his waist.
“Nothing at all. You’re so sexy, Hales. Too sexy and I’m a jealous asshole.” He frowns, letting the guilt show on his handsome face.
“You don’t have anything to be jealous about when it comes to them.” I saunter toward him until I’m inches away and then drop my towel. A low growl escapes his throat as I crowd his space. His mouth is at my breast and he kisses my hardened nipple sending delicious chills through me while his hands grip my hips. “Make love to me, please.”
He stands up, cupping my chin and tilting my head upward to meet his gaze. “Are you sure? Because once we go there, there’s no going back. You’re mine and I’m never letting you go.”
“That’s good because I need you, Eli,” I insist, needing his touch more than anything else. I watched the way he snarled and growled at all those men who even gave me a second glance. In the late nights when sleep didn’t come to me, I dreamed of being rescued by a handsome stranger and taken away from the depressing life I’d been forced into. Always, Elijah’s face popped into my head.
“My sleeping beauty, time to make you mine.” We kiss as he leads me to the bed with a flex of his strong hands on my hips, and I find my back on the bed with a light bounce followed by his larger frame coming down to hover over me. “So fucking beautiful and tempting. I should be gentle, but I’ve waited so long for this moment that I doubt I’ll be able to hold back.”
“A long time, we’ve only known each other for less than a week.”
“I’ve waited my entire life for you,” he says, licking my pulse along the column of my throat. “Now, I should be gentle, but I don’t know if I can be.” His voice grows deep and husky as he rakes his hands down my body, tracing a path of heat with every touch of his fingers.
The feel of his scruff brushing my skin tingles through me, sending pleasure and need through me as he kisses back up to my mouth again. We break our kiss to come up for air. “Don’t. I’ll take whatever you give me,” I moan, tilting my head back onto the pillow.
“I’ll give you every inch until I’m buried deep inside you.” He lines up his length with my entrance and pushes inside of me in one long stroke. I cry out, feeling like I’m being ripped in two by his giant cock. He freezes and then begs for my forgiveness. “I’m sorry. I never meant to hurt you, baby.”
“It’s not so bad, but I’m just not used to the intrusion.”
“Well you’ll get used to it because we’re going to be doing this all the time.”
“Are we?”
“Yes, Haley. All the fucking time we can.” He continues to move, slowly working through the tightness until we’re both gliding and rocking. I can’t help moaning as the pleasure intensifies and then I lose control, gripping his biceps and holding on as he fucks me wildly, hips piston, knees digging into the bed. He takes me roughly until I’m screaming his name.
“I’m coming, baby.” He floods my womb with his release and I fall flat against the mattress, completely done for the night. Eli pulled out of me with a sting that caused me to wince. “I’m sorry, Hales.” He collapses onto the bed beside me with a huff and then rolls me to his side.
“That was wonderful,” I sigh, rubbing my cheek against his chest.
“Yes it was. Thank you, my sweet Haley.” We kiss again, but it’s late and today’s activities have their effect on me and I’m tired.
I fall fast asleep in his arms.

I wake up and the sun’s high in the sky. I jolt upward, bending at the waist with my sheet falling forward when I realize that I’m going to be late. The room’s quiet, so I call out for Elijah, wondering if he’s getting ready for his meeting.
