“I know that now. But back then you didn’t even include me. No note. No, this can’t happen now. Nothing. You simply vanished.”
He rises to his full height. Using his ring finger, he runs the tip under the silver chain around my neck until he comes to the ring hanging on the end
“Please understand that I never said I made the right decision, I simply made the one decision I felt protected my baby and you.”
“You underestimate the reach and power my father has.”
“I can say the same for you toward me and my crew.”
“If my father found out it was a Savage in my bed, imagine what he would have done. If he had no problem killing his own son, do you think for one second he would have a problem killing me and then you? He knows what you and your crew stand for. You are the very enemy he wants out of his way. It’s as true then as it is now. I should have never helped my brother. I’ve painted the bullseye on my back.”
“You don't need to run. You don’t need to be scared. You failed three years ago to see the force we have. Don’t repeat it. I am notletting you out of my life again. And now that I have met Kaylee, don’t take her from me. Let me in, let me protect you.”
He lifts me to sit on the sink and steps between my legs. His lips find mine and all the unspoken words fade away. It’s just me and him at this moment.
“Let me show you how much I love you, baby. Give yourself to me.”
Phantom is feared in the streets between this small parish and New Orleans. Maybe even beyond. I know of the stories buried in his past. And the bodies. He was not lying when he told me tonight he put three more in the frozen ground.
But right now, he’s gentle with me. For me. Don’t get me wrong, this man knows how to get rough, but I sense he needs to remember right now and I can do that for him.
“Yes,” I whimper softly moaning when he kisses my jaw. It’s tender and caring.
He slips from his clothes, tossing everything to the side. He’s back between my legs and slipping his hands under my ass one second. Next we are in the large shower with hot spray warming our skin.
Steam rolls up the walls, cocooning us inside our own little world. He lowers me until I can stand.
He grabs the soap and starts working up a lather. He washes my foot, working his way up my leg with those divinely callused fingers only to stop at the apex of my thigh. A shiver works over me, but he acts like he doesn’t see how puckered my pierced nipples or how swollen my clit is becoming.
He wants to play with the jewels in the hard tips, but he’s holding back.
He moves to the next foot and repeats his torture only to do the same thing when he gets close to where I really want his touch.
He moves tot he next foot and repeats his torture only to do the same thing when he gets close to where I really want his touch.
I let out a huff only to get a warm chuckle.
“Patience, Everly. Patience. I know what you need.”
I whimper as he glides to his feet and turns me around. “Hands on the wall, beautiful.”
He continues to wash the round globes of my ass, the dips of my waist and all the way up to the tips of my finger.
And then he pulls my back to his front. The heat of his arousal is glorious as it presses into the crease of my ass. I hungrily moan with a need to have him right now.
“Phantom,” I gasp quietly.
“So fucking beautiful,” he murmurs softly next to my ear. The shiver of excitement that works through me, sends a shot of electricity to my nerve endings.
I breathe out slow and steady, fighting the need to turn around and beg him to take me already.
He wraps his arm around me and places his soapy palms over my aching breasts. With circular motions, he caresses me until I'm moaning and arching into his touch. He expertly takes the weight of my breasts in his hands and this time his fingers find the hard tips. He pinches and pulls with just the right force to have me moaning for him.
“Phantom, please.”
My hand slides down to join his and together we tease my nipples. I grind my ass against his cock, wanting–no I need–the warmth and fullness only he can give me.
“I need you, Phantom. Now and forever. I always have.” Truth pours out of me and I have no desire to hold it back.
