“I feel the same.”
“Good. Now get on all fours.”
“Wait.” She unhooked my belt and drew down my zipper. “There’s something you should know.” She took my iron cock in her hand and stroked it.
“What’s that, baby?” I had the distinct feeling she was preparing me for something.
“I was married before, you know?”
“Yes.” This was weird. I was nervous as fuck about where she was going with this.
“What do bikers do to their old lady to show ownership?”
My jaw twitched. “Put their mark on them.”
“Mhm. Yes.” She pumped my cock as she kissed my chest. “I don’t want you to be angry that my husband had me get a tattoo where he wanted it because, at the time, we were supposed to be together forever.”
I swallowed thickly, my heart hammering in my chest. “I understand, sweetness. I won’t be angry.” I kissed her softly.
“Okay.” She released me and climbed on the bed.
I filled my hands with her plump ass and saw the tattoo.Property of Matt Knightstared back at me from Eve’s lower back. I wasn’t angry, but I was jealous and sad. I wasn’t the first man she’d loved, nor would I be theonlyman she loved.
“Fuck.” I dropped my chin to my chest, feeling as if my heart would shatter into a million shards of glass.
“Hey.” She reached her hand back and took mine. “I’m here withyou. No one else.”
“But if he were alive, you’d be with him.”
“Of course, I would be; he was my husband. If he were alive, nothing would’ve ever happened between you and me.” She rubbed my hands. “But that’s not the case. Here we are. You and me. It’s only you and me.”
I rolled her onto her back and got between her legs. “I can’t take you from behind right now. I want to spank you for disobeying me and being with Jack.” I put my forehead on her shoulder and kissed her neck. “Maybe another time, not today.”
“I like a good spanking, but I understand.” She hugged me, lifting her pelvis for me to enter her. “I’m on the pill, and I’m clean. What about you?”
“I haven’t been with anyone since last spring. I’ve been tested. I’m clean.” I drove into her and sealed my lips to hers. We moaned as I pulled out and pushed back in, finding our rhythm.
I made love to Eve, but it wasn’t sweet. My deep thrusts were fierce. I was so goddamn hurt over the tat on her lower back. I shouldn’t be. She hadn’t done anything wrong. I’d known about the life she’d had before me, so it wasn’t like I’d been in the dark.
But Eve was the only woman I had ever loved and would be the last. The same wasn’t true for her with me. The great Matt Knight, president of the Knight’s Legion MC, would always be her first love.
And I would always be second. The reality of it stung.
“Stop thinking and make love to me,” she told me as she gripped my biceps.
“Do you think we’ll be each other’s last?” I pressed my forehead to hers. “I must sound pathetic. But dammit, I don’t want to be a consolation prize.”
“Oh, Art. You’re not.” A tear streaked into her hair. “You’re an incredible man, intelligent and talented, passionate and sexy. When I’m with you, I feel like the luckiest woman in the universe.”
“I feel the same when I’m with you. You’ll always be my one and only.” I kissed her before she could reply. Nothing she said at this very moment would make me feel better. I certainly didn’t want her to lie for my sake.
I focused on her, on us. Having Eve under me, my cock deep inside her, and skin to skin was everything. She was right about Matt not being here. He was never coming back. Eve could be mine forever.
Before a few minutes ago, I hadn’t ever experienced insecurity. I knew what I had to offer a woman, offermywoman. I never thought I’d have to compete with someone else, much less a deceased man. In the afterlife, Matt could do no wrong. He’d be forever perfect in Eve’s eyes. Where did that leave me?
It didn’t matter because I was never giving her up. I’d just have to work through my own issues and be everything she wanted and more.
I picked up the speed as my release neared. “I love you, sweetness.” I lifted her leg to go as deep as possible.
