Claiming her lips, I demanded, “Ride me, sweetheart.”
She slowly rocked her hips until she got used to the feeling of my cock deep inside of her. Placing her hands against the headboard for more leverage, she swayed faster and harder. Causing her head to roll back. I took her nipple into my mouth, kneading the other one, unable to get enough of her.
Another moan escaped her throat. All I could hear was desire, as I fondled her breasts and sucked on her nipples.
I shifted my hand back down to her clit. Her breathing escalated bucking her hips forward.
“Adrian…”
“Fuck me,” I growled from deep within my chest.
I could feel her pussy tighten, gripping my cock like a vise. I felt her shiver as she started kissing me more aggressively.
I kissed her jaw, her neck, deliberately making my way back to her lips. Her delicate hands glided down my chest.
“Fuck…” I groaned. “You feel so good.” I thrusted my hips upward before roughly gripping onto her hips again.
Moving her harder.
Faster.
Relentless in my pursuit of her pleasure.
Both our mouths parted, breathless, riding the high, and longing to fall over the edge together. Pain began to form at my wound, but I didn’t care. If we ripped some stitches, so be it. It was worth it.
The second her pussy throbbed, pulsating long and hard, I thrust in and out a few more times.
But her quivering was my undoing.
She was my undoing.
For the first time, I expressed the three words I should have back then after I claimed her cherry.
Staring profoundly into her hooded gaze, I vowed,
“I love you. Then. Now. Forever.”
Thirty-Five
Adrian
“Are you sure you’re ready for this?” I asked, standing at the front door of Cade’s home.
“Ummm…” She playfully smirked. We flew back on your plane for baby Paige’s birthday.”
I chuckled. I couldn’t help it
“What?”
“I call her baby Paige too.”
She smiled. “She’s going to hate you for that when she’s older.”
“Not any more than our own baby girl will.”
“Oh.” She placed her hand on her chest. “We’re having a baby girl, huh?”
“After we have two sons. If our baby girl looks anything like you, I’m going to need all the help I can get with keeping her away from guys like her daddy.”
“Daddy, huh?”
“Mmm-hmm.”
“Did I miss the part where we talked about kids?”
“We’re talking about them now.”
“I see. What about the stuff that happens before we have kids?”
“I’ve lived inside of you for the past week, Cherry. It’s a little too late to discuss the stuff that happens before. Considering, there might be a Drake baby in there already.”
“Oh, you think it would be that easy, do you?”
“Sweetheart.” I kissed her. “We both know I do everything right the first time.”
She kissed me back. “Are we openly kissing here?”
“Why wouldn’t we be? Cade is well aware of where I stand, Paige. I refuse to hide anymore.”
“I know.”
“Besides, I took a bullet for you. If your best friend doesn’t think that’s love then I don’t know what else I can do to prove to him you and you’re mine, you’ve always been mine.”
She kissed me again. “Good point.”
Paige rang the doorbell.
“One second!” Hayley shouted on the other end, answering with their son James beside her.
“Uncle Adrian!” He high-five me, making Paige chuckle.
“Wow, he looks like Cade.”
“James.” Hayley looked down at him. “This is Paige.”
“Like my baby sister.”
“Yes. Just like your baby sister.”
From the expression on her face, Paige was loving every second of this.
I excused myself to go find my brother. I found him in his office. Cade was computer savvy like our old man. He followed in his footsteps and worked in coding with elite companies around the world. I couldn’t have been more proud of how his life turned out.
He looked up from his desk. “Hey.”
I nodded, looking around the room.
“Take a seat.”
I did.
There was no reason to beat around the bush. Cade knew why I was there. We hadn’t spoken much since what could only be described as one of the worst days of my life.
“How’s your shoulder?”
“I’ll live. How’s Hayley? Is she all right?”
“She’s processing but working through it. The kids help with that.”
“Yeah, I imagine they would.”
He leaned back into his leather chair. “And Paige? How is she holding up?”
“She’ll be fine.”
“Good.”
“Where is she?”
“With Hayley. We need to talk.” I leaned forward, setting my elbows on my knees with my hands out in front of me. “I’m not going to waste another minute hiding anything from you. I love Paige. I always have. While I would like to have your blessing, it won’t stop me from being with her. That doesn’t mean it won’t matter to her.”
“These last few days, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about everything that happened. I spent so many years angry with myself for not protecting her from you. I knew how you were with women. I just didn’t think you’d betray me like that.”
