“I wasn’t!” I yelled in his face, my heartbeat escalating.
“You expect me to believe that, after all you did?”
I shook my head, my voice breaking under the weight of the emotions crushing me. “You don’t understand! I was confused—I had only one job, and that was to expose you as the monster that you are!” Tears rolled down my cheeks, my chest heaving with even breaths.
He paused for a second, his eyes never leaving mine. “If you think I’m a monster, then why did you change your testimony?”
I shook my head. “I don’t know.”
“Bullshit!” he snapped again. “You moved from standing with the rest of the world against me to standing with me against the rest of the world. Why is that?”
And that’s when I lost it and yelled, “Because I love you!”
A loud thunder roared overhead as flashes of lightning streaked across the clouds. Seconds later, it started pouring, soaking us to the skin. My hair was damp, and my clothes were soaked, as were his.
Nik looked speechless, his expression softened by my confession. For the next few seconds, he only stared at me, confused and unsure of what to say to me.
I broke the silence that followed my outburst. “I’m supposed to hate you, Nik—and trust me, I tried. But I can’t.” I shook my head, the rain pelting mercilessly on me. “I can’t hate the father of my unborn child—the man who saved my life on multiple occasions. I just can’t.”
Still, he didn’t say a word. Yet his eyes wouldn’t leave my face.
“I changed my testimony because you’re not the man they painted you to be,” I continued, my voice calm but laced with pain and regret. “I couldn’t sit back and watch them ruin you for crimes you didn’t commit—especially since you weren’t even my target to begin with.”
Silence.
“Look, you don’t have to believe me—and if hating me or punishing me would make you feel better, then go ahead, have at it. All I know is I’ll never….”
I was still talking when he fisted my jacket and pulled me close to himself. Before I could say another word, his lips crashed against mine, devouring them with an intense fervency.
Breathless, I kissed him back, tasting the rainwater slapping against our skins. Our heads tilted to the side, fueled bydesire and pent-up rage. The kiss was hot and fervent, mirroring the hunger within us.
That familiar flame was once again burning so wildly, threatening to consume me. I’d almost forgotten what his lips tasted like, and there was no way I was pulling away this time.
Under the rain, we held each other close, tongues invading our mouths. His touch awakened emotions in me I hadn’t felt in weeks. My heart was swelling with passion, my knees were weak, and my legs had turned to jelly.
He kissed me like he was about to undress me any second—right here, right now—on the deserted street. His hands caressed my breasts, and mine slipped beneath his jacket, then traveled down to his groin.
I traced the print of his cock underneath the fabric of his pants, my hand feeling his hardness beneath my grip.
Fuck, I missed this!
I missed it so badly!
He pulled me closer, grazing his cock against my thighs while cradling the back of my neck in his palms. His mouth wouldn’t leave mine, and even though I could barely breathe, I enjoyed every second of his lips devouring mine.
I broke the kiss, panting, watching with lustful eyes as rainwater streamed down his handsome face. “Fuck me,” I said, my voice firm and final.
Chapter 28 – Nik
The tension between us was thick, like a pull neither of us could fight.
She straddled me in the backseat of her car as her lips devoured mine with a kind of hunger that matched my own. She shed my jacket off, and was busy with the buttons of my soaked white undershirt while I ripped the buttons of her blazer apart.
Her soft brown curls were damp, the strands clinging to her wet face as I took off her blazer. We still didn’t break the kiss despite how breathless we were. I tossed her soaked blazer aside and grabbed her ass, pulling her closer to me.
Driven by lust, I yanked her blouse off her, revealing her fancy red bra and glistening skin. I pulled on her wet hair, forcing her head to jerk upward while I kissed her chest and the nape of her neck.
She ground her waist against me, as if reveling in the feeling of my cock grazing the print of her cunt. I wrapped my arms around her hips, and she arched her back, seeking a deeper connection. Blair rocked her hips back and forth, her movements fast and almost furious.
