“Holy shit, Lorik.”
“Come for me, princess.”
One more thrust, and I witnessed as she exploded into fragments of pleasure while she reached the pinnacle of her release. It was so fucking beautiful, seeing her come undone beneath me.
“Oh,” she moaned, burying her nails deep into my back. I could feel her pulsing around me, and seeing the pleasure, the euphoria on her beautiful face because of what I gave her, pushed me to the point where I could no longer hold on.
“Karina.” I sped up, going as deep as possible, but still not taking my eyes off hers. “I want to come inside you. I need to make you mine in every way.” It was the plea of a desperate man, trying my best to mark her, to claim her in every goddamn way possible. If I could tie her to me and never let go, I would. But this was the closest I’d ever get to owning her completely.
A tear slipped down the side of her face, and she placed her palms on my cheeks, her gaze on mine.
“Yes,” she replied before pulling me down and pressing her mouth against mine.
The warmth of her mouth, the heat of her body, and the slickness of her orgasm coating every inch of me was enough to send me to the motherfucking peak of the most intense release I had ever had in my entire goddamn life. For the first time, I knew what it felt like to be alive, to be connected to someone.
With my cock as deep as it could go, I came inside her—hard. The severity, the strong, extreme connection between us soared while I continued to pulse my heart and my fucking soul inside her, all the while kissing her like it was the last time I’d ever have the honor.
My body went rigid as the last bit of my orgasm pulsed out of me and into her, and I buried my face in the crook of her neck. I’d never experienced anything as satisfying as what we did right now. How was it possible that I ever thought I could go without this, without ever knowing what it felt like to make love to someone you share something so deep with, so powerful?
“Lorik?” Her warm sigh danced across my shoulder, and I lifted my head, still desperately trying to catch my breath.
“Karina.”
“What are we going to do?”
I knew what she meant. How could we be together with everything that was currently keeping us apart? But the better question was, how could we stay apart after what just happened, after what we’d shared?
I placed soft, gentle kisses all along her jaw before focusing my gaze on hers. “I don’t know what we’re going to do, but I’m never letting you go. I vow it.”
Chapter 20
LORIK
Having Karina naked on my couch with her beautiful, smooth legs over my lap did strange fucking things to my insides. I never thought I’d see the day I actually wanted to have a woman spend the night. Normally, I couldn’t wait to get rid of the woman as soon as I got what I wanted. But now, I didn’t want her to leave.
“I have to go. You know that,” she said, and I had this insane urge to pout like a two-year-old.
“You don’t have to go.” I moved my hand slowly up the inside of her thigh.
She snickered and squirmed under my touch. “Lorik, stop. You know I have to go. My family will be looking for me.”
“So, tell them you’re spending the night with a friend.”
She cocked her brows. “They know I have no friends here in Boston.”
I pulled back my hand and leaned into the couch. “And why is that?”
She shrugged while wrapping a dark curl around her finger. “I never fit in here. I always doubted everyone’s intentions when they tried to be friends with me.”
“Because of your surname?”
She nodded. “No one really saw me for me. Whenever they looked at me, they saw privileges and perks of being one of the wealthy Valentis.”
I glided my fingers up her leg and back down again. “I totally get that.”
“It’s hard when you have to constantly live in the shadow of your family’s legacy, which is why I decided to leave town the minute I had the chance. My father is still trying to convince me to come back home permanently.”
I looked at her. “For once, I’m with him. You should come home.” And I was only saying that because I was a selfish prick who wanted her as close to me as possible at all times.
