Page 122 of Vengeance

Flipping her onto her back, he nestles between her thighs as her words bring him alive again, and he slides into her with ease. “Never. You will never be without me again, Lex.”

Her lips find his, and he feels her hot tears as he thrusts long and slow. He hates the tears, and as much as he wants to stop until the waterworks stop, she needs this. Instead of stopping, he cups her face with his forearms underneath her shoulders and continues to move as his tongue tangles with hers. He tastes the saltiness from her tears and himself, and he wishes more than anything he could take away all of her feelings and leave her with only happiness, love, and pleasure. All the pleasure.

She reaches for a free pillow and slides it up under her ass, giving him a new angle to hit, and he loves her moan as their tongues continue to dance. The vibration sets him on fire, and it doesn't take long until she clenches around him.

Never separating their mouths, he quickens his thrusts until she cries and shakes beneath him. He doesn't stop until she places her hands on him to still him, and he finally releases her mouth.

“Fuck,” Lex says, her eyes and lips swollen. “Holy fuck.”

“Religious experience?”

“I can't feel my legs at the moment.”

His mouth finds her jaw and nips at it. “I love that you just take what you want. Slipped that pillow right up under your ass.”

Reaching up to cup his face, her thumb rubs his lips. “Because you make it safe for me to take what I want. Plus, you rarely object to giving me pleasure any way I want it.”

“I'll make you a deal,” he says and moves between her legs again.

Her body shivers, and she closes her eyes for a moment as she adjusts to the sensation. “What's that?” she asks as her eyes open.

“Tell me you no longer doubt how much I love you. What I'd do for you without a second thought, and I'll believe you won't leave me again.”

Her hands rest on his hips and still his motion as she looks into his eyes. “I have no doubt how much you love me, Colt. None whatsoever.”

Colt looks deep into her eyes, looking for any sign of doubt or insecurity. “Really?”

“Cross my heart,” she says and marks an X on her chest above her left tit. “I haven't doubted it since you offered to turn in your leather, and I had two pieces of reassurance the day you got Scarface.”

Sliding out of her, he sits up. “What were they?”

“Well, Diane's confirmation nothing happened between you. I believed you, but with how drunk you were, there's always that little bit of doubt that lingered. And what you told her when you denied her gives me a bit of an ego boost. What really made it indisputable is the fact I was told you moved to vote on patching over the Hellraisers. You then told everyone that you needed to transfer for me, and that's it. That sold it for me.”

“I don't think you know how much I needed to hear you say that you believe me,” he says, his chest tight as he feels overwhelmed. “Nothing hurt me more than when you told me you didn't believe me when I told you that I loved you outside Karmen's house. The hurt and betrayal when you couldn't even look at me... I've never felt like more of a failure as a man. I think part of me questioned if you could ever forgive me.”

Lex moves to her knees and wraps her arms around his neck. “No doubts. None at all. All of you belongs to me and only me, just like all of me belongs to you and only you.”

“No running,” he whispers and kisses her lips. “Promise me no running, and I'll believe you aren't going to leave me again.”

“No running,” she whispers back.

“You have no idea how sexy you look in this light.”

Smiling, she pulls back. “It's about to look a lot sexier.”

“Oh yeah?”

She grabs two more pillows and places them on the one she had under her hips before turning and laying on her belly. Ass up, face down. Yep, definitely sexier. So much so he throbs.

Spreading her legs, he slides into her, moaning at the tightness. “Yes, yes, and yes.”

He moves, slow and deep again, and after a few minutes, she says, “Stop.”

He stills, and she moves her legs from outside of his to inside, and it feels like she has a death grip on him, she's so tight. “Baby, I'm not going to last long like this,” he warns.

“Then you should probably make it hard and fast, just like we like it.”

Lex moves to stretch above her head to brace herself on the headboard, and he about comes right there. Best. Sleepover. Ever.
