“I’m not afraid of getting caught,” I snort. “I don’t have protection on me.”
She looks up into my eyes. “I trust you.”
“Are you sure, baby? Don’t you want to wait until we’re married?”
“I’m already yours, Cole. A party and a piece of paper aren’t going to change that.”
I kiss her hard. Her words mean everything to me in this moment. I fumble with my belt and zipper.
When I reach between her legs, I find her already wet for me. I groan and kiss her hungrily. I can’t get enough of her.
“Cole,” she cries out as I thrust into her tight, wet heat.
“Christ, ya feel so good. I don’t deserve ya. I’ve done nothing in my life to deserve an angel like you.”
“I was made for ya, Cole. Ya deserve me because I could only be yours.”
I latch my lips onto her neck as I thrust in and out of her. Being inside her bare is a feeling like nothing I’ve ever felt in my life. She’s panting softly, trying not to make too much noise.
“Fuck,” I growl.
“How are ya this hard? My God, ya seem bigger. Yer stretching me so much.”
“Ya do this to me. Ya make me lose my mind just thinking about ya. I love ya so much.”
“Yes, yes, I love you too.”
I take her lips and kiss her with more intensity and desire than I knew I could. I think it’s all the trust she’s showing me. In this moment, I want to give her the world.
With my brother home, I can finally start to move forward with my life. It’s time I put a ring on her finger.
I pull away to look into her face. The ecstasy I see in her eyes has my balls tingling. I stick my thumb into her mouth and press down on her lower lip.
“Come, I can feel it. Come for me.”
She throws her head back and starts to convulse against me. I pull out and come into my hand. She stands on wobbly legs, grinning up at me with a drunken smile.
I dip in and peck her lips. “Mine,” I breathe as I rub my nose up and down the bridge of hers.
CHAPTER 40
Crossing Paths
Deja
A month later ...
Noah and Bean’swedding has been so nice. I’m really enjoying myself. I like Nellie, Bean, and Heather.
I think Roni will even grow on me. Although she was a bit curt with me, I don’t hold it against her. There was a time when I was the same way to protect myself.
Besides, I know she’s focused on watching over Shauna for Logan. I would have done it had he asked, but I guess he’s placing me in the pot with the rest of his family. Val has introduced me to many of the women here.
“Ellen, have you met Deja? DJ, this is Ellen, Sam’s wife,” Val makes another introduction as a tall brunette with dark eyes comes over with a glass of champagne in her hand.
She’s pretty. She could definitely pass for a model. She gives me a smile that lights up her face. I return the smile and stick out my hand for hers.
“None of that, come here,” she sings and pulls me into a hug.
