“Rylan.”
I come hard, pulling an orgasm from him too. He floods my body with his sperm, and for the first time, I think about having his baby. It shakes me to the core, and I lean into his body so he can’t see the tears in my eyes as I think of a baby with his soulfulcognac-brown eyes. A mini him. I can picture his thick, dark brown curls, and my chest expands.
I try to pull away, but Rylan won’t let me go.
“Baby?” he asks.
I bury my face in his neck. A deep sob breaks free from my chest, and the tears start to roll down my face unheeded.
Rylan lifts my chin and looks into my eyes. “Why are you crying?”
I shake my head and bite my lip hard to stop the words from coming out.
“Tell me, please. Did I hurt you? Are you still scared about Jim coming after you?”
“No.” I can’t lie to him. His cock is still inside my body, and I can’t lie to him, no matter what questions will come from this. “Honestly?”
“Always, sugar.”
“I was thinking of the baby you and I would make.”
He groans and buries his face in my neck. “I’ve thought of that image so much. Your beautiful hair and eyes on another baby girl.”
“I saw a son with your hair and eyes.” I chuff a laugh.
“I want that so much with you, if you want it. If not, I’ll be happy with just Oly, as long as you are by my side for the rest of our days.”
“I want that, but I’m still so scared. I need to check my messages. I think my father and Silas have found me. If they have, I need to leave. But I want you to keep Oly.”
He shakes his head as he holds my chin so I’m looking at him. “Sugar, you trust me with your baby but not with your life?”
“I trust you. I don’t trust them.”
“Haven’t I proven how much I can protect you. I took care of Jerry, and now Jim.”
“Jerry was because of Quinn.”
“No. He left a journal. He had planned to have friends gang rape you. He fanaticized about it. He said he was going to rape Harlowe himself. He’s in jail now, but he won’t live long enough to make it to the trial.”
“What? You’re going to kill him for me?”
I think about that. I should be scared, but I’m not. My nipples pebble, and my core spasms against his cock.
“Does it turn you on that I’d kill for you?”
“Yes,” I moan as he starts moving me on his cock again.
He leans forward and whispers in my ear, “Then you should know Jim is dead in the woods right now. Waiting for his body to maybe be discovered before the wolves and animals consume him. It looks like a suicide, but it’s not. I had Wing take care of him for you. No man will ever touch you or see you the way I do. I’ll kill Silas with my bare hands for you.”
I scream as I orgasm so fast from his vow. It’s heady and undoes me in ways I never thought I would desire.
He pulls out of my body and flips me around.
“Grab the wall.”
There’s a bar that I grab onto, and he sinks into me from behind. He fists my wet hair and uses my body to get himself off again. When I come this time, I know I’ll give him the chance, and I’ll reveal all my secrets to him. He’s the man who would kill for me, and I want that. I’ve wanted someone to cherish and love me, and that’s what Rylan is doing.
When we both come together, it’s with deep moans and stating our love for each other. Rylan pulls out and twists me around. I practically climb his body to get closer to him.
