I caught her wrists as she moved to shove me again, holding them between us.Our faces hovered inches apart, her breath coming in angry puffs against my skin.Her eyes blazed with fury and a desperate hunger that mirrored the heat building in my own body.
"It meant every fuckin’ thing," I whispered.
The next thing I knew, she’d thrown her arms around my neck and fused her mouth to mine.The kiss tasted like rage and desire, her teeth catching my lower lip hard enough she might have drawn blood.I wrapped my arms tightly around her.
Wren yanked my shirt over my head and tossed it aside.I spun us around, pressing her against the wall, my hands sliding under her thighs to lift her.She wrapped her legs around my waist, grinding against me with urgent need.
"I hate you," she gasped against my mouth, even as her fingers fumbled with my belt.
"I know," I growled, dragging my lips down her throat.“But that’s too Goddamned bad because I love you.”
She let out a sob, tugging at her own clothes.I helped her strip, needing to touch her skin like I needed to breathe.Once we were both naked, I pinned her against the wall, one hand bracing beside her head while I found her pussy with my other hand, stroking her wet folds before circling her clit.
Wren moaned as I worked her clit with my thumb, her head falling back against the wall with a soft thud.I slipped two fingers inside her, feeling her clench around me as I curled them upward, searching for that spot that would make her come undone.
"I need you inside me," she panted, her nails digging into my shoulders."Now."
I wanted to take my time, to worship every inch of her body, to prove with touch what words couldn't convey.But the urgency in her voice mirrored my own desperate need.
"Fuck," she hissed, head falling back against the wall as I stroked her."Just fuck me already."
“Christ, I need a fuckin’ condom,” I growled, setting her on her feet.I picked up my pants, snagging a condom from my wallet before turning back to Wren.“Ain’t fuckin’ you in the livin’ room, woman.Not this time.”
“Bedroom then,” she agreed, nodding her head.
“Don’t forget your phone, whatever the fuck you do.”That got a bark of laughter from her.
Once in the bedroom, I lay her down, leaning down to swipe my tongue through her pussy lips.She screamed, arching to meet my mouth.I thought I was going to come before I even got inside her.I shivered as I sucked at her pussy, laving her clit with my tongue as she cried out, gripping my hair in her fists.
With one final swipe, I pulled away, ripping open the condom and rolling it over my dick.“You sure this is what you want, Wren?I’m not taking it back if you do.This is us starting over.”
“Why the fuck are you getting so chatty?”
“Wren…”
“Fine, OK?This is us starting over.But if you ever fucking lie to me again, Ghost won’t have to dismember you.I’ll do it for him.With a smile and a fucking princess wave.”
“I’d expect nothing less.”
I crawled up on the bed to cover her with my larger frame.Without waiting for another invitation from her, I thrust into her in one powerful movement.She cried out, nails digging into my shoulders hard enough to leave marks.I welcomed the pain, deserved this and more, but honestly, any physical pain she caused just turned me on even more.
It didn’t take me long to start a hard, driving rhythm.Wren dug her heels into the backs of my thighs and spurred me on.The bed creaked in protest beneath us.I couldn’t look away from her, transfixed by the raw emotion I witnessed expressing how well I was loving her.Maybe we really could find a new beginning.
"Don't stop," she commanded, her voice breaking as I hit a spot that made her shudder and she gave a sharp cry.
I buried my face against her neck, tasting salt and sweetness as we moved together.Her inner muscles clenched around me, her breathing growing ragged as her pussy milked me, trying to take my cum.I felt her climax building, felt my own racing to meet it.
"Look at me," I demanded, needing to see her eyes when she came.“Open your eyes and look at me, Wren.”
She did, those green eyes locking onto mine as her body tensed, then shattered.The sight of her coming undone pushed me over the edge, my own release tearing through me with an intensity that left me gasping her name against her skin.
For several heartbeats, we lay there, our bodies still joined.I knew I had to be heavy, but when I tried to shift, she stiffened and tightened her hold on me.I managed to roll us both to our sides and I held her close.I wanted to let her sleep.To pretend this really was a new beginning, but even though she agreed to exactly that, I still had to talk this out with her.Only then could we make the move forward.
"I never meant to hurt you, baby," I whispered against her temple.“I knew from what Tori told me about you I’d have a hard time focusing on anything but you when we met.He said you were like a force of nature.That, if someone you cared about was in trouble, you’d move heaven and earth to help them.That’s why he wanted me to befriend you.Because if I told you I needed help, you wouldn’t stop until Jack and Ghost sent help.”
“If that’s the case then he had me pegged right.”
The sheets tangled around our bodies.Wren lay half across my chest, her breathing steady but not quite sleeping, that silky, purple hair tickling my chest.Wren’s phone buzzed and she groaned, rolling over to grab the offending object.
