“I could spend all night inside you.”
I can’t take my eyes off of him.
His beautiful face is contorted with agony as he brings us closer to the edge, and I know a few more thrusts will have us both climaxing.
I sink my nails into his arms as I move my hips, meeting him thrust for thrust.
“I’m yours. All of me is yours.”
“Ciara…”
“I’m all yours.”
Ronan’s cock swells inside me, and then we’re both moaning with the pleasure of our release.
I clench around him, taking every last drop he gives me as he continues to move inside me.
My entire body trembles as he makes sure to drag our release out as long as possible until he collapses on top of me, our bodies slick with sweat and our breathing heavy.
"I hate leaving you like this," he whispers in my ear, his cock still buried inside me.
I pull back slightly to look at him.
"Then don’t.” I want to savor the feeling of his warm body pressed against mine.
He lets out a breathy laugh. "You know I have to. Besides, you were kicking me out not that long ago.”
He brushes his thumb over my lower lip.
I nod as I run my fingers down the line of his jaw. "Just...don’t forget to come back in one piece."
Something dark flickers in his eyes, and I know he’s starting to go to that place in his mind. The one where he is no longer the Ronan that I’ve come to know, but the ruthless mafia don who will do whatever is necessary to protect his family.
He rests his forehead against mine. "You’re the only thing keeping me sane right now."
"That’s a lot of pressure."
"You handle it better than anyone else could."
He finally pulls himself free but not before pressing another kiss to my temple.
The gentle touch has my eyes stinging, and I quickly reach out to grab his arm before he can climb off of me completely.
"Ronan?"
"Yeah?"
"I mean it. Be careful."
His jaw tightens, and I can see it in his dark eyes that he’s unraveling, thread by thread.
"Always."
Then he’s gone again.
