“Yeah?” I whispered.
“I appreciate you,” she murmured.
I breathed out and cradled her face. “I’m sorry if I overstepped, but I don’t want him to hurt you. It fucking killed me to watch you ache, Red. I don’t want that for you. I would have suffered in your place then, and I will die to protect you now. I don’t care who Enzo is. I am here for you always. You’re my girl now, and with that, you get all of me, even the parts that aren’t afraid to die for you.”
“I don’t want you to ever die for me.” She went up on her tiptoes and brushed her lips lightly against mine. I closed my eyes, my heart pounding.
“I would, Red. I fucking would. I will protect you with my last breath.”
“I know. I would protect you too. I just don’t want you fighting with the horsemen.”
I opened my eyes and lifted her into my arms. She wrapped her legs around my waist. I crushed my lips to hers, kissing her deeply.
“I want you,” I said between fierce, deep kisses. “Don’t be upset with me. I’m only doing what I think is right. I fucking love you, Red.”
“I love you, too,” she replied.
Fuck, those words did something to me.
I hauled her sexy ass right back to the bedroom and laid her on the bed before peeling off what clothes I had on and removing hers next.
“He didn’t touch you last night, did he?” I asked between kisses.
“No. We only talked. No sex.”
“Good.” I kissed her neck, desperate to mark her, but I knew she didn’t want Cole to know, so I backed off.
I made my way down her body, pausing to kiss her stomach where Anson’s baby was nestled. I knew there was a chance it was Cole’s, but it honestly didn’t matter in the big scheme of things. Ellis was Cole’s, and I loved that little girl as if she were my own.
I moved between her legs and licked up her pussy. Her breath caught as she stared at me.
“I love the way you taste,” I murmured.
She let out a soft whimper as I placed a kiss on her pussy.
She reached for me, and I twined my fingers with hers for a moment before I dove in, eating her.
She wiggled, her hips thrusting up to meet my mouth, her breathing heavy.
“Ry… Oh god. Please.”
I ate faster, quickly learning her tells.
She came, her body tensing, my name on her lips.
Fuck, it sounded so good.
I finished her off, smiling proudly as I kissed my way back up her body.
It took me all of a moment to push deep inside her, claiming her hot, wet pussy as mine.
“Fuck, Red,” I groaned, resting my forehead against hers. “How did I get so lucky?”
“I’m lucky,” she whispered before she kissed me. “To have you. The guys. Everything.”
I groaned again, pulling out and pushing back into her. She tangled her fingers in my hair, jutting her hips up to meet my slow thrusts. Each time I bottomed out inside her, she let out a contented sigh. I loved it.
She kissed me harder, and I let her take the lead.
