“You’d never hurt me, Bekkett,” she said, pressing her cheek against his chest, needing to connect with him. “I know you probably don’t believe it, but I know you would never hurt me or anyone you love. Even your blood brother, whom you want to throttle.”
“I do want to beat the fuck out of him a lot,” he agreed. “My family is going to be excited to hear I thawed. I know they’d tell you it’s a bad bet to fall in love with me. Hell, I’m an asshole. My mother always said the woman I married should be ready for a goddamn fight. I remember that talk like it was yesterday. I don’t want some frail motherfucker or a fictional character from a fairy tale. I want you, Jinx.I want you when you’re irrational, because trust and believe, I’m irrational as fuck. Be the bold bitch you are. Speak what’s on your mind, Baby. I want your wildfires and all the obscenities that you can spew.” He pulled her on top of him, kissing her lips.
“I love your passion and heart. Fuck, your priorities make me love you more than I thought possible. I love how you protect what you claim as yours and whom you claim as yours. I’ll stand toe-to-toe defending what’s ours. Let’s fight against the normal bullshit like routines and make our own rules and habits, be they bad or outside of the box.” She shifted her legs outside his.
He grabbed her hips, holding her still. “Don’t you ever think about quitting, because trust and believe I won’t ever give up, not on us, and not on what we’re creating. God help anyone who ever threatens those we claim as ours. I’m gonna ask you now to forgive me when I fuck up, when I let you down. But what you won’t do, ever, is overlook it or let it happen. We all have insecurities, and I won’t be ashamed to show you mine, but you gotta be brave enough to show me yours. When you’re terrified of something, know you can turn to me. I’ll be there.I’ve had a fuckton of people come and go, but you’re the only love that I want to stay. Falling for you was easy. Keeping you, I hope, will be, too. You deserve a love bigger than me, but if you give me half a chance, I’ll try to be the man...”
“Shut up, Viking. You’re everything and more than I could’ve hoped for. Just...don’t ever leave me, and for fuckssake, kiss me like you mean it.”
And he did, holding her close. Her mouth on his, and he plunged his tongue into hers. He kissed her like a man starved, over and over, memorizing her taste.
“You’re like a wildflower. Beautiful to look at, lovely to smell, but fuck with you or those you love, and you’re liable to kill them, just like the flowers in a field we’re warned not to pick because they both carry pollen and poison. I wouldn’t care because you’re my temptation.”
“That’s both romantic and a little disturbing, Viking,” she groaned, giving herself to him as he pushed up into her.
“Yeah, well, you’ve lived with so much life and death. So have I. It grows tiresome. Don’t you think? Ride me, Blair.” Words became too much as she rodehim. He could’ve kissed and fucked her forever, but his body pulsed and ached.
“Touch yourself. Make yourself come,” he commanded. His entire body tingled at the thought of feeling her coming again. She came hard. His eyes nearly crossed.
He sat up, holding her flush to his chest. He kissed her, then lifted her off his dick. “On your hands and knees, Jinx.”
She scrambled to comply. He ran his hands over her supple flesh, sliding the tips of his fingers between the crack of her ass. “I’m going to claim your ass one day.”
“Okay,” she agreed.
Fuck, he pressed his thighs against hers and slid back inside her. Her gorgeous blonde hair hung to the side, leaving the crook of her neck for him to nuzzle. She took all of him, gripping him tightly.
“Fuck, Bekkett. You feel bigger this way.”
He smoothed his lips up her spine until he cradled her frame. “You were made for me, love. Let your body adjust.”
She lowered her head and breathed. Her body relaxed.
With a groan, he eased back and pushed forward. He reveled in the feel of having her again. Each time he took Jinx, he felt as if it were the first. The exquisite tightness amazed him. Like she’d truly been made for him and only him. He inched out and went back in, repeating the move in fast thrusts.
“Do that again,” she begged. Her hands clenched in the bedding. She pushed her ass back into his hips.
“Tell me how much you like it.” Why he needed her to say it, Viking didn’t question.
“I love it. It feels so good. God, yes.”
He thrust savagely, driving forward and pulling her back. He leaned back, watching his dick go in and out of her pussy.
“I fucking love you, Blair. God damn, I love everything about you.” He reached around her hip, finding her clit swollen and hard. He rubbed it. His hips thrusting as he pressed and rubbed. The perfect rhythm, and then they both came together. He came, jet after jet of come filling her. Her body spasmed, milking every ounce he had to give. He collapsed onto her back, rolling them onto her side. His dick stayed half-hard inside Jinx.
Jinx let out a tired sigh sometime later. “I used to think feeling too much was a curse, so I did all I could to become numb. When you barreled into my life, I wasn’t sure if I should run as far and fast away from you or toward you.”
“Fuck, Baby. I’m glad you decided to run with me. For the first time in a long fucking time, I believe in miracles. No more hiding, no more allowing my feelings to be hidden behind a facade of bullshit. You get all of me, the warts and all. I guess it’s a good thing you had those slashed tires.”
She elbowed him. “You are not right. Besides, if you’d had warts in the wrong area, we’d be having a whole different discussion. Freddy’s excited to be bringing my truck down and meet real live bikers.”
“Mmm, I think you should check to make sure we didn’t miss any warts. As for Freddy coming—”
“I was kidding. King would have an absolute heart attack. Freddy would literally go feral. We’d have to move to another country.”
“King would be inclined to string him up. It would cost me a shitton of money to get him free. I’m glad you were joking. I take peace in small victories.” He ran his hand down her abdomen.
