Oh, you’re going to keep going.
As she smiles at me, I lean Claire back on the bed, kissing her as I reach between her legs. Her pussy is so damn wet. I slide two fingers through her folds, coating myself in her arousal before slipping inside.
“Alec!” She grips my wrist. “I… I… oh,fuuucckk…”
I work her with my fingers, thrusting in and out until she’s panting and humping my hand. She’s so slippery, and I hook my fingers up into her G-spot, making her come instantly.
She floods with wetness, and I’m rock hard again—only for her.
Without another word, I pull my hand back, position myself between her legs, and thrust home, right to the hilt. Claire cries out, wrapping her legs around my waist.
She’s so goddamn tight, squeezing my shaft like a vice. This is the best place in the universe—right between my woman’s thighs.
“I love you, Claire.” I punctuate my words with my hips, rolling them and gliding in and out of her. “I’m never letting you go.”
“Good.” A smile splits her face, still screwed up with pleasure. “Because you’re stuck with me.”
“Best thing that ever happened to me.” I speed up, driving deep into her andclaimingher. “This is allminenow, Claire. You belong to me.”
“And you belong to me,” she gasps.
“Forever.” I surge inside her, about to crest that edge. “I’m going to spend the rest of my life making you happy.”
“Alec!”
We fly off into bliss, and I fill my girl up with every last drop I have. She clamps down around me, wrapping her arms around my neck and holding on with everything she has.
When we come down, my heart pounds against my ribs like it’s trying to escape. I roll to the side, pulling Claire with me so she’s draped across my chest.
For a long moment, we just breathe. Together.
“So,” Claire finally says, tracing patterns on my skin, “what happens now?”
I tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. “What do you mean?”
“I mean…” She looks up at me, and there’s a hint of vulnerability in her eyes. “Theodore is going to prison. The danger is over. You don’t have to protect me anymore.”
My arm tightens around her. “Is that what you think? That I’m going to leave?”
“I don’t know. This all happened so fast. Maybe now that the adrenaline is gone, you’ll realize?—”
I shut her up with a kiss. Deep and thorough and leaving no room for doubt.
When I pull back, I hold her face in my hands. “I’m not going anywhere, Claire. Not now. Not ever. You’re it for me. You understand?”
Her eyes glisten. “Really?”
“Really.” I kiss her forehead. “Now we figure out the rest. Together.”
“Together,” she echoes, and the smile that spreads across her face is like watching the sun come up.
She settles back against my chest, and I pull the blanket up over us. My arm throbs, but I don’t care. Claire is safe. She’s mine. And we have the rest of our lives to figure out what comes next.
“I love you, Alec,” she murmurs, already half-asleep.
I press my lips to her hair and close my eyes.
“I love you too, darlin’. More than anything.”
