But with him, everything was fabulous.
Beckham rolled onto the balls of his feet, switching the angle again. Even more powerful than his actions was his intense stare, one so concentrated I thought he’d soon burn a hole in my retinas. Then again, I couldn’t stop staring at him, watching to catch them reflecting on every salacious moment. As before, he seemed to have the stamina of a predatory beast. Beads of sweat rolled down his face from the exertion, the building steam only adding to the rush.
He was relentless, fucking me long and hard but it was beautiful, sweeping me away to a crazy fantasy. As an orgasm slipped up from my toes, I slowly eased my head back, dazzled by the way the water felt cascading down my face to my neck. I could hear the effects as it splashed across his heated body and all I could do was smile. My pussy clenched and released more times than I could count and within seconds, another incredible wave tickled every one of my senses.
He wasn’t letting me go, still issuing guttural sounds. I tried to study him, hoping to understand what had him so on fire, but I was barely able to focus as every muscle tensed. Another hard thrust was so electrified that I squeezed my muscles once again.
As suspected, he couldn’t hold it any longer, releasing his hot seed deep inside. His body continued to jerk for several seconds, his entire face pinched from the strenuous activity.
When he finally peered down at me, the same naughty grin crossing his face, I licked my lips in appreciation.
“Mmm… I could do this for hours but it’s time to break you free from your prison. The man holding you is an asshole.”
“I’ll say.”
He tweaked my nipple in response before untying me. His gentle side returned as I lowered my arms, the man cupping the side of my face. “You need to listen to me. You’re my weakness now. That means they will come for you.”
“And you’ll protect me.”
“Always. But you’re going to need to trust me. Can you do that?” His eyes were so imploring I was floored.
The question wasn’t supposed to be asked right now, but I did know the answer and it was the one last surprising thing left. “Yes.” Why did this man have such a powerful hold over me? Why did it seem I craved him as much as he did me? I was right. Something was different. A threat? New information? Whatever it was troubled him more than ever.
He pulled me against his overheated body and there was nothing better than being held by someone so strong.
“Get dressed and meet me downstairs.”
“Are we going somewhere fancy?” I asked.
“You might think so.” He kept a firm grip on my arms, winking as he held a secret close to his chest.
I did so adore the playful side to him. “Give me twenty minutes.”
“Perfect. Get ready for an adventure.”
“More than what we just had?”
Another thing I adored about him was his laugh. It seemed around me it was genuine, as if he’d found a spark of light in his otherwise dark life. “We’ll just call it different.”
“Mmm… Wear something more casual. I like you in jeans.”
“You don’t like me in suits?” He rolled his finger down the bridge of my nose, his smile so damn mischievous I couldn’t help but shiver all over again.
How could I not laugh? How could I not feel something special around the man? “You are handsome in anything, more so in nothing, but you appear stuffy when you wear a suit.”
“O-kay. I’ll keep that in mind.” He kissed my forehead, almost in the way a father would. It was a strange feeling that washed through me, a connection that was even closer. As he backed away, he gave me another extreme onceover, his nostrils flaring as he issued another growl.
Goddamn, the man was primal.
After grabbing a towel and rubbing his hair and chest to start drying off, he headed for the door, stopping as he wrapped the thin towel around his svelte waist. “I need to be able to trust you completely, Kenya. As I said, it’s vital, more so now than ever.”
A trickle of fear presented itself, leaving my stomach churning.
“What’s going on? Talk to me. Did you find out who attacked us?”
He took a deep breath, holding it for a few seconds. “Undoubtedly and it’s going to become very… important that we work together.”
“Aren’t you going to do what you usually do in this case, hunt them down?” I was joking. Well, halfway. Yet I could tell there was something in his eyes that forced a cold shiver down my spine.
