“I have men who are paid plenty of money to protect me.”
“But that leaves me with no control.”
“It’s not your job to protect me.” I glided my soapy hands over her breasts, covering them in thick, white bubbles. “I can take care of myself.”
“But what if I want to take care of you?”
“There are other ways for you to do that.” I skimmed my slippery fingers down her stomach and to her hips. “None of them involve you putting yourself in danger or obstructing me from doing my job.”
I slipped my hands to her inner thighs, lathering the soap along her silky flesh. As the hot water rained over our bodies, I pushed my hips forward and slid my cock between her legs.
“Milo,” she moaned when I rubbed my length against her slit.
“These are the things you can do for me.” I circled my finger along the apex of her thigh. “You can relieve my stress and be close to me when I’m feeling trapped.”
“Are you trapped now?” When she turned to face me, my erection poked into her flat stomach. She wrapped her palm around it, gripping it hard and moving her wrist in quick jerks.
“I am.” I backed her against the wall while the bubbles from her body coated the tiles beneath us and swirled down the drain. “I’m in an impossible situation. One I’ve never faced before.”
I had always been able to do what had to be done. There was never anyone to worry about. If I made a wrong move, it could be fixed, because I could fix anything. But with her in my life, I wasn’t as sure of myself. Dealing with Medina made everything so unpredictable because it wasn’t just myself I had to consider.
One mistake and I could put her in jeopardy. I wasn’t used to thinking about anything other than the mission. Those assignments never included a woman I loved with my entire heart and soul. I couldn’t risk her being a casualty in my brutal world.
“Will this help?” She dropped to her knees, staring up at me with more trust than I deserved.
“I won’t stop you.” I twisted her wet hair away from her face until I wound it into a tight ponytail. “I want to come in your mouth.”
“I can make that happen.” She gripped me in her hand and licked my tip before covering my shaft in her mouth, deep-throating me faster than I had anticipated.
“Fuck,” I whispered.
She bobbed her head back and forth, scraping the back of my length with her teeth and pressing her tongue against the vein close to my balls.
As I tugged on her hair, I thrust my pelvis forward, trying to hold off the climax that was gaining on me. I wanted to savor the heat of her mouth engulfing my hard cock, but the more she sucked, the faster I soared to the point of no return and then…
“Sable,” I growled, and on a long exhale, I shot into her mouth, releasing all of the tension this night had filled me with. I needed that. I needed her.
She drew her head back, dragging her lips and tongue along my length until she released me. I let go of her hair and rubbed my fingers through her tangled, thick mane.
“You helped.” I swiped my thumb across her bottom lip. “More than you know.”
I extended my hand for her and helped her to her feet. Bringing her close to me, I held the side of her face as I kissed her long and slow.
“I’m sorry our first Valentine’s Day didn’t go as planned,” I said.
“It had its moments.”
“I love you so much.” I brushed my lips over hers. “When you tried to stop me from pulling my gun, I lost it, but that’s not what set me off.”
It was Medina’s obvious obsession with her. I couldn’t tell if it was a tactic to throw me off or if it was something more. I wasn’t going to wait to find out.
“I won’t interfere again.”
“It isn’t normal the way he acts around you.” I let go of her and turned off the faucet. “If something happened to you and I didn’t do something, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”
I stepped out of the stall and wrapped a towel around my waist before spreading open an oversized towel for her. She maneuvered against it as I secured it around her.
“I know I’m safe with you,” she said.
