The only thing keeping me from floating away is Lucas’s heavy body on me and his cock impaling me. I don’t know how long he continues fucking me, but I want it to be forever. I’m barely awake, exhausted, and high on my own body’s hormones, but I know I’m safe, at least for now.
I didn’t think I could possibly come a third time, but when Lucas grunts into my ear like a lover’s chant, and his cock swells inside me with his own release, a final orgasm wrecks through my body. I clench around him, squeezing him so tightly I think we both might die.
All I want to do is go to sleep. My mind and body are sated. Lucas is here protecting me from everyone and everything. For a few hours, everything is okay.
My mind is hazy when Lucas slips out of me and repositions us on the bed, so I’m lying on top of him.
I rest against Lucas’s chest, letting the aftershocks of pleasure ripple through me. Maybe I shouldn’t have let it happen after how everything ended back at Corium, but he came for me. He came to save me, and that has to mean something.
After a moment, Lucas pulls away, and I’m reminded that I’ll have to remain here while he leaves to figure out how to get me out of this mess.
He pulls on his slacks and buttons them. My eyes linger on his chiseled chest and abs that are perfectly indented into his skin. I drag my gaze away from his half-naked body to see him pulling out a phone from his pocket.
“I’m going to leave you my phone. Keep it hidden. I’ll message you from another number so you have it and can call me.”
Relief pools in my belly. I can call him at the very least so I won’t be completely alone.
“Okay, thank you,” I whisper.
I take the phone from his hand and slide it under the pillow, then I crawl off the bed and slip back into my clothes. By the time I’m dressed, he is buttoning the last button on his shirt. I look up at him and wonder if I can really trust him.
Everyone I’ve ever trusted has let me down or led me astray. Putting my trust in Lucas is giving him the bullet to kill me, but what other choice do I have?
“Call me if anything happens.” I nod, and my lips turn down at the sides. “I promise, Delilah. I’ll come back to you, and I’ll kill anyone who touches you. Do you understand me?”
My heart tightens in my chest at the notion.
“Yes, I understand.”
“Good, now be good and don’t cause any trouble.”
I nod and watch as he leaves the room. As soon as he steps out the door and it closes, I hear a lock engage. I fall back against the bed and stare at the ceiling. He’s going to come back for me—he promised, and all I can do is hope he keeps his word.
