She rushed to him, jumped into his arms, and buried her face in his neck, taking in his scent. “I’m so sorry.”
He nuzzled the side of her head. “Shhh, mate. We’ll talk about it later.”
He turned to leave with her when she heard Brenna. “There’s my puppy. Where have you been?”
Simone giggled when she heard Roman growl, and then Brenna scream but didn’t look back.
She wasn’t paying attention at all, so she was stunned when he sat her on the counter in the back of another building.
“Where are we?”
“I’ll tell you more later, but it’s mine. Right now, I need to take care of my mate.”
He stripped her of her jeans, shoes, and panties.
“I think you should start wearing skirts,” he said. “It’ll make it easier to get to you.”
He opened his fly and pulled out his cock. She thought it was one of the sexiest things she’d ever seen. He lifted her and adjusted his cock before he thrust every inch into her cunt, making her scream.
God, yeah, that’s what she needed.
He held her tightly against his chest as he pumped into her with hard, forceful thrusts. Simone felt his lips at her throat, licking and kissing. It added to the fierce pleasure from the cock powering into her.
Her orgasm slammed into her when she felt his teeth sink into her skin. She thought it should have hurt, but instead, it pushed her desire higher and made her body explode with ecstasy. The air caught in her throat, making it impossible to release the scream. The intense carnality of his fucking washed over her body, touching every part of her.
He groaned, and his body shook, making her tighten her grip even though she knew he’d never let her fall.
“I love you,” she whispered against his neck. She knew he heard her when he stiffened, and she was almost afraid that she’d told him her feelings too early.
She felt him grip the hair at the back of her head and pull back so he could see her face.
“Say it again, mate,” he demanded.
“I love you.”
His eyes closed, and he exhaled. “Fuck, I’ve been waiting for those words … forever.”
She grinned. “We haven’t been together that long.”
“You’ve been a part of me my whole life and will be for the rest of it. I’m only half the man when I’m not with you.”
Tears stung her eyes, and she hugged him. “Does that mean you love me, too?”
He grunted. “Mate, I tell you how much I love you all the time.”
She shook her head. “You’ve never said those words before.”
She leaned back to see his stunned face and grinned.
“Fuck, I thought I told you all the time.”
“You do in a way, and you show me how strongly you feel for me, so I don’t need the words. But, it would be nice to hear them once in a while.”
He cupped her face with one of his hands while his other arm held her pressed against him. “The word ‘love’ doesn’t have the depth I need to describe how I feel about you, but I like hearing the words so I can use them, too. I love you, mate.”
Tears filled her eyes, and she smiled. “I’m glad.”
He snorted and then lowered his head to take her lips with a kiss so blatantly tender it made her heart feel like it was going to beat out of her chest.
