“Ca—Caleb.”
He rose over her. She opened her eyes and cupped his cheek. How was he supposed to live without her and the way she made him feel?
“Don’t think,” she whispered. “No thinking. Just love me.”
I do.
God, forgive me. I do.
He gathered her in his arms and lay over her, her legs widening to make room for him before she lifted them and wrapped them around his waist. Her smile was soft as she clutched at his neck.
There was so much he wanted to say, but he couldn’t find the right words. Caleb kissed her, slow, deep, and soft as he flexed his hips, his cock pushing into her opening. Rose gasped as she stretched around him. The deeper he sank, the more he knew letting her leave was a mistake. “So damn tight,” he murmured while winding her hair around his hand. “I don’t think I can be gentle.”
She squeezed his waist with her thighs, lifting to take him deeper. “I don’t want gentle.”
Her words whispered against his lips ripped a growl from his chest. He pulled out of her and began to thrust, hard, fast, and deep. He reached for her hips, holding her to him as he filled her again and again. Caleb closed his eyes, savoring every moment and every touch as Rose sank her fingers into his hair. His lips found hers again, their tongues dancing in time with their bodies.
It was erotic, all-consuming, and devastating.
“I need you,” she begged.
He nuzzled her neck below her ear and then asked, “How?”
“Just please.”
He growled, then he shifted to catch her knees. He lifted them and moved them back and a little apart, opening her up more for him. Only then did he begin to thrust inside her again. This angle brought him deeper, and she cried out with every thrust as he sank balls deep.
Caleb knew tonight would never be enough. He didn’t just want tonight. He wanted forever. She felt amazing, her tight walls wrapped around him, clenching and squeezing as she built to another climax. He watched her; the ecstasy, heat, need, and desire on her face were reminders of what they could have if he could figure out a way to make her world a safe place again.
He gripped her legs tighter. He kissed her a little deeper. His own orgasm was racing toward his balls, pulling his sac up.
“Yes,” she moaned.
His hips slammed against her a little faster. His breath sawed in and out of his lungs as her moans grew louder. He wanted her quivering with pleasure, begging him for more, promising him that she’d stay. But now he knew, if he wasn’t careful, he’d be the one begging her to stay and never to leave him.
A strangled cry ripped from her lips as she peaked for the second time. The feel of her silky walls tightening around him was too much. Caleb drove into her twice more before he plunged deep and fell over her, catching himself with his hands as he filled her with all he had to give.
He would figure out a way to make her world safe, because there was no way he could rest until she was back in his arms. Forever.
Noon the following day.
“The guys will keep you safe.”He reached for the seatbelt and tugged it loose. Reaching across Rose, he clipped it into the holder. “Trust them.”
“I will,” Rose promised softly.
Please don’t go.
Don’t leave me.
Everything he should have said and wanted to say refused to form anywhere but inside his head. All the hours he’d spent loving her weren’t enough. He wanted more. He needed more.
“Sorry, man.” Wolf’s voice behind him made him swallow hard. “We’ve gotta hit the road.”
“I know.” He paused half in, half out of the truck, and gently cupped her face, stoking his thumbs over her cheek. “Be safe.” The need to promise that he’d see her soon rode him hard, and he fought it back.
“You too.” Her smile was watery as she wrapped her arms around him and squeezed him tightly. “Have a good life, Caleb. Find someone to love.”
You.
