I drop my hands lower and dig my fingertips into his firm butt. “I want to touch you all over.”

He groans. “I’m going to be walking around with a permanent hard-on.”

“Next time, will you come inside me? I want to feel you.”

Shuddering, he lifts his face to mine and presses his lips softly against my mouth. The kiss is sweet and full of meaning.

“Not until you’re eighteen. We shouldn’t have gone this far. But I won’t take your virginity until then.”

I grin. “We can do this a lot until then, right?”

“My dick might just break off if we do this a lot.”

I roll my eyes. “As if.”

Then I remember why I went rushing into his office yesterday to begin with.

“How is your throat?”

“Much better since I took the painkillers.”

“Good.” Dressed in black pants and a black shirt, Tiberius lifts me from the chair and sits down with me on his lap. “I need to tell you about the dinner with Rossi. I didn’t eat, but there was a meeting beforehand.”

I caress his whiskered jaw and wait for him to continue. He takes my hand and kisses my fingers.

“Rossi wanted me to hand you over to Edge. I refused. He decided I would hold an eighteenth birthday party for you, to which they would all be invited. Cannon, Xavier, and Cleo Edge will be in attendance to meet you, along with Rossi. If I want to keep the peace, as I do, then I must accept this compromise.”

“Don’t I get a say in anything?”

“I wish you did, but it doesn’t work that way with Rossi.”

“I’m scared, Tiberius. I feel like everything we have right now, in this moment, is going to disappear.”

He brushes a sweet kiss across my lips.

“I will protect you.” He kisses my forehead. “I promise.”

“You can’t promise me that.”

“I’m no longer playing nice. I broke off the engagement to Veronica.”

My head pops up. “Really?”

“Rossi broke the agreement we had. I want no secrets between us, no matter how painful. You mean the fucking world to me.”

“I don’t like the world you are part of. It’s dangerous. It killed my parents.”

“Cannon Edge killed Jude and Anna because of his anger over what his father did. It has nothing to do with the world we are in.”

Tiberius tangles his fingers in my hair and presses my head against him. “I need to know if I am what you want?”

I sense his unease at the question, so instead of mumbling my answer against his chest, I raise my face to his. Softly smiling, I cup his face. “I know I’m younger than you?—”

“By eighteen years.”

“—but I want you. I love being naked with you. I feel safe when I’m in your arms. I imagine doing filthy things to you.” I smirk, feeling his reaction to my words beneath my bottom. “You’ll have to wait until I’m eighteen to find out what they are. So, yes, I want to be with you.” I frown. “If you touch another woman from this point forward, I will never forgive you.”

“Sweetheart, I don’t want anyone else. I didn’t want Rossi’s daughter.” He kisses me softly. “I just need me to be what you want. I will protect you regardless.”
