I reach between us and circle her clit, fast and firm.
She cries out, her walls clenching, her body trembling beneath me.
And that’s it.
I drive into her hard one last time and come so deep I see stars. My body shudders with it, sweat dripping, heart pounding.
I stay there—inside her, on top of her—just breathing.
Her chest heaves against mine. Her fingers trail up and down my spine. I roll us gently so she’s tucked against my chest, wrapped in my arms.
Neither of us speaks.
We don’t need to.
She fits there. In my arms. Against my chest. Like she was meant to be there.
And I know two things, crystal clear.
I’m never letting her go.
And if anyone ever tries to hurt her again, I’ll burn the world down before I let them get close.
Chapter 6
Nya
Theroomisquietnow.
Not silent. The fan hums low above us, the breeze flutters the curtains, but everything feels still in a way that seemssacred.
Like if we speak too loud, we’ll break whatever magic held us together through the last hour.
I’m curled against Ghost’s chest, bare skin to bare skin. His hand is on my back, fingers tracing slow, lazy circles.
My legs are tangled with his, and I feeleverything. The steady thrum of his heart. The warmth of his skin. The deep, satisfied way he breathes when he exhales against my hair.
He feels like safety.
And I don’t want to break the moment. But curiosity gets the better of me.
“You really never did this before?”
His hand stills on my back. Then he gives a low chuckle, the kind that rumbles through his chest and into mine, warm and a little disbelieving.
“No. Never,” he murmurs, voice rough around the edges but steady.
I lift my head just enough to meet his eyes, searching. “How? Why?”
His gaze doesn’t flinch. It’s calm. Steady. Wide open.
“I meant what I said,Sunshine. I’ve never been with anyone.”
My brows lift, eyes narrowing slightly. “But… you were very good at it.”
His lips twitch like he’s trying not to smile.
“Guess when you’ve been holding something back that long, it comes out strong when it finally breaks loose.”
