Cole jumps to his feet, pacing the room and ignoring the low hum of voices in the background. He knows he can’t let her leave. Needing to prove how much he cares for her, he takes off toward her room with his mother’s protests to give her more time ringing in his ears.
Marching down the hallway, he throws open her bedroom door then locks it behind him. The shower is running, so he strips off his clothes and heads toward the bathroom. He does not hesitate as he opens the shower door and steps in.
“Cole!” She jumps, letting her gaze travel down his body. “Oh!”
He grabs her around the waist and lifts her up against the wall.
She lets out a squeak as her legs wrap around him.
He likes her this way. She can’t run, and he has full access to her long, slender neck. He leans in and kisses her below her ear, feeling her pulse quicken. “What is there to think about, Savi?” he whispers hoarsely.
She runs her hands through his wet hair and lets out a sigh. “Cole, I can’t stay.”
Oh, hell no. He positions himself at her opening and slams in.
She screams, gripping his shoulders.
He nearly doubles over, she is so tight and ready for him. “Does that feel good?”
“God, yes! Again!” She wiggles her hips. Her chest pushes into his face. Sweet Lord, she’s beautiful! He pulls out and slams in again, nearly buckling. Christ, she feels amazing. He takes a minute to control himself—it’s been a long time since he has been with a woman. He slams again, making her shoot up the wall.
“Yes!” she shouts and claws at his skin like she is starving for him.
He slows the pace, teasing them both with short little thrusts.
“Cole, please,” she begs, wiggling to get more friction. “Please.”
“If you leave, I’ll never see you again. You told me you were mine.” She starts to whimper as he thrusts up hard. “This is where you belong, baby, with me—nowhere else.”
She leans forward and seals her lips over his, kissing him deeply.
Oh, this woman is going to kill him. He returns to his rough movements, giving her everything he has. He’s completely lost in her…his mind is spinning with all her gasps and moans.
“Cole!” she calls out. He can tell she’s close.
“Give it to me, baby. Give in.”
She screams as her entire body shakes and squeezes him like a glove. His vision goes cloudy as he loses all control, emptying himself into her.
They are both panting as they come down from their high. She’s like jelly in his arms, completely spent. He washes her, having to hold her up with one hand. He wraps her in a towel and puts her to bed. He quickly dries himself off, chucks the towel in the basket, then crawls in behind her, their naked bodies giving each other comfort.
It’s pitch black, but he can tell she’s still awake; her breathing is uneven. He kisses her shoulder, his lips lingering on her silky skin. “I’m not letting you go, Savannah,” he whispers. She doesn’t say anything, but she pushes herself tighter against him.
Savannah
I tap my fingers on the railing, watching the numbers light up one by one. Fifteen more to go.
“Savannah!” Luka calls out as I step out of the elevator on the twenty-sixth floor of the Maxwell building. “What are you doing here?” He gives me a hug.
“I’m meeting Dad for lunch.”
He looks at me oddly, and I know what’s coming. “He must have forgotten. He left about ten minutes ago.”
I curse inwardly.
“Third time in two weeks—a girl could get a complex,” I joke, giving him the best smile I can muster. “I guess I’ll head back across town.”
Luka squeezes my arm. “Sorry, sweetheart. I’ll let him know you were here.”
