I licked at his mouth, urging him to part for my tongue. “I don’t need to check off those boxes anymore when we’re together. I’m not the same person I was then.”

“Are you sure you want to do this?”

“Both want to and can.” I’m not letting the assholes from yesterday ruin my todays anymore.

He startled me by scooping me up into his arms.

“Your shoulder.”

“Trust me, I’m good.” Carrying me around to the side of the bed, he set me down, positioning my head on the pillow, before climbing on top of me. Holding the brunt of his weight up with his good arm, he skimmed his other hand along my silhouette before settling it between my legs.

“I guess we’ll need to get you off again.” He set his mouth over mine, thumbing my clit to warm me up for orgasm two.

Kissing the hollow of my throat, he continued to coat my arousal over my sex with his fingers, and every bundle of nerves between my legs was on fire as I waited for our bodies to connect.

“I want you inside me. To have you feel me bare. My first time feeling that . . .”

He lifted his head, my words and their meaning registering there. His dark eyes narrowed on mine while nodding.

With his hand between our bodies, he positioned his cock at my center, then he leaned in and kissed me while driving his cock inside me.

When a stuttery cry fell from my lips, he cursed under his breath, and I caught the words with my mouth, kissing him feverishly.

He started to move again.

Making love with me.

Existing together in a way we never truly had before, allowing nothing to hold us back anymore.

In and almost all the way out. Slow and soft. Taking his time with me. Making it last for the both of us.

“I love you so much.” His words as our eyes met again had my heart squeezing, and my muscles locking tight. My body tensed up, seconds from release.

“Come with me,” I pleaded before kissing him again.

And the moment I tightened around him, he released, and I came undone right along with him.

Our soft breaths as we came down from the high were all that was between us as he remained on top of me, not pulling out.

He set his mouth over mine, kissing me, and I reached up, smoothing the back of my hand along his cheek.

“We’re going to get through this. All of it. Okay?” I needed to hear that as much as I needed to say it.

“We will.” His brows tightened. “But I don’t think I can sleep in the same bed with you yet,” he said apologetically. “I’m too scared I’ll accidentally hurt you. I still need help to truly . . .”

“I know.” He didn’t need to explain. I had his back, and he’d always have mine.

UNDISCLOSED LOCATION, ABU DHABI – THE NEXT EVENING

“Exhale after each strike. It makes you more powerful. Faster. Plus, it saves your energy.” Jesse flicked his wrist, gesturing for me to come at him again.

We’d be holed up for the next twenty-four hours at our new safe house, and I planned to make every minute count until the “big day” arrived.

Standing on the mat, I narrowly missed Jesse’s left hook while managing to land an uppercut to his padded helmet.
