“Hey, look at me,” she demands. I open my eyes and she puts both hands on my cheeks, keeping me in place. “You did protect me and I protected myself. I did what I needed to do to stay alive. Just like you’ve done things to protect yourself. None of this is your fault, nothing.” She kisses me quickly, keeping her mouth next to mine. “You saved me.”
I want to throw her down, fuck her, and show her how she’s saved me too. I don’t though, because I think she’s got more to say.
“These last few weeks have been the happiest of my life. Which is saying a lot considering the awful shit that’s happened.” She tries to smile, but I see the tears in her deep blue eyes. “It’s you, Zane, you are the reason. You’re the only person who’s ever cared for me, protected me, loved me.”
“Babe,” I say, holding her hair tighter. I can’t find the words, but I feel like she’s saying goodbye.
“Promise me something,” she continues, ignoring me.
“Anything.”
She smiles and her eyes are piercin
g through me. “You will always know that as hard as you love me, I love you more.”
“Impossible,” I whisper.
“You promised,” she says back.
I don’t say the words because there is no way it’s true, but I nod. “Babe, are you trying to tell me something?”
She throws her head back and laughs. I lift an eyebrow in confusion. “I thought I was making myself clear here. I’m saying you loved me from the start and you’ll love me until the end. I get it now.”
“I’ll never let you go, Harper. You’ll never be out of my arms again. Do you understand me?” I need her to say the words, to know she’s not leaving. That my world isn’t going to crumble around me.
“I don’t want you to let me go, Zane. I’m yours until the end,” she whispers.
“Fuck,” I growl.
What was just an emotional moment is now pure lust. Her words are what I’ve been wanting to hear for weeks and I’m done listening. I need to fuck her.
“Get your pants off,” I demand, lifting her so she can unbutton them and push them down her legs. I make quick work of mine, pushing them down my hips.
She is standing in front of me and her pussy is level with my mouth. I take full advantage, my mouth attacking her. She lets out a moan as my tongue lashes against her, tasting her excitement. I savor the taste, knowing I will never get enough.
“Please, Z, I need you inside me,” she begs.
Not able to ignore her begging, I pull back, licking my lips. “Sit on my hard dick. Take what you need.”
She sinks down onto me, causing me to shudder. Her pussy wraps around me so tight, squeezing me. It takes me a minute, but she doesn’t wait. She rocks her hips, moaning into the silent night. Her hips roll and she all but screams.
I push her shirt up, sucking on her hard nipples. “Oh God,” she groans.
I begin moving, thrusting into her. I grab her hips and lift her slightly, bringing her back down when I slam into her. After a few times she understands what I want. It's an uncontrollable need. We are frantic, clawing at each other while my cock is buried deep inside. Our moans and the slapping of our bodies are echoing around us, being swallowed into the dark night.
“Fuck, I’m gonna come,” she screams.
Her back arches and I watch as her body gives me exactly what I want. I can’t hold out any longer and my orgasm chases hers, filling her with all I have to give.
We stay connected until our breathing is under control. I kiss her sweet lips and we both smile. “I love you, Harper.”
“I love you too, Zane.”
The ride home is fast and when we get there, everyone is asleep except for Kace. We walk in like teenagers, hands all over each other.
“Finally,” Kace says. “Damn, didn’t you get enough?”
Harper laughs and kisses his cheek. “Did you?”
