Page 73 of No Second Chances

“Not what I meant.” He starts to move, and all thoughts of talking go out the window. “Kennedy,” he growls as I tighten around him. “Say it.”

“Yes,” I gasp. “Yes.”

“Good.” He leans forward and kisses me. “Let’s practice, then.” He bites my lip and then grabs my hands and lifts them over my head. When he starts to speed up, I wrap my legs around his hips and arch my back.

He groans and I begin to tremble as everything starts building toward the bliss I can feel on the other end of the line.

When I hit the biggest orgasm of my entire life, Linc stills completely. Then he starts again, furiously pounding into my body until he comes, too.

“Perfect,” I whisper. “Now I need to take a shower. Come wash my hair?”

Linc stares at me with a strange mix of hope and says, “You sure?”

I get up and offer him my hand. He looks at it like I’m about to vanish into thin air. “Linc. You just told me that you’re ready to get over your deepest fear and want to have little baby Lincs with me. The least I can do is let you into the worst and darkest parts of my life.”

He is up off the bed, with my hand in his, practically dragging me into the bathroom before I can change my mind.

“Plus, you did promise tacos and sex for the rest of my life.”

“Absolutely. I’m boots on the ground, Kennedy. Ready whenever you are.”

Linc kisses me, his lips pressing against mine in the silent promise of forever, and he single-handedly chases away all of my nightmares.
