I didn’t need to say the words to let him know I was ready. Colt could read me better than anyone I’d ever known. His pace picked up, each thrust more powerful than the last until the room filled with the sound of slapping flesh.

“You’re holding back,” Colt growled in my ear. “Give yourself to me. Admit you’re mine.”

Wordless sounds fell from my mouth. I was scared to give him what he was asking for, but I wasn’t sure I had the ability to keep it from him. My heart and my body wanted to be his, it was only my mind resisting him.

Colt pulled out and slammed back in. Each drag of his piercing sent shivers up my spine. “I am going to keep you, care for you, fuck you. Whether you let me in your heart or not, I will work my way in. You. Are. Mine.” he grunted.

“Yes,” I agreed at last. At least in this moment, I was his. “Harder, Colt. Fuck me harder, make my mind shut off.”

He pulled out and flipped me over. Yanking my hips back he pounded into me harder and harder until all thoughts ceased. The only thing that existed was the pulse between my legs, and the climb toward my climax. I screamed as I clenched hard around his cock.

His fingers dug into the flesh of my hips and he let himself go. “Again,” he demanded.

“I can’t,” I whimpered as I struggled to keep myself propped up on my elbows. My limbs shook with exhaustion, but Colt showed no sign of slowing down.

“You can and you will.” He slapped my ass, and I felt my walls clench around his cock once more. “That’s it,” he praised, “milk my cock. Again.”

Just as he promised, he had control over my body. My pussy squeezed him once more. Every bit of my strength released with my climax. His powerful arms were all that kept me up as I felt him swell inside of me. Colt shouted as I felt the hot blast of his release fill me. Finally sated he collapsed on top of me.

That night he showed me what it was to be his. Together we climbed the highest peaks. In his arms I felt like I could touch the stars. But with the ecstasy came a fear of falling. One thing I knew with frightening clarity, my life before Colter Greyson was flat and dull, and going back to that would cripple me.

EIGHTEEN

COLTER

"Colter, are you here?"

My eyes blinked open, and the sound of heels clacking through my apartment grew louder. My bedroom was brighter than I was used to upon waking. I glanced over at the clock and noticed it was already nine.

Jana stirred next to me, and my cock twitched in reaction. I buried my face in her hair.

"Colt, get some clothes on."

I groaned, and Jana turned in my arms. "Good morning, wife," I greeted her.

"Who's yelling?" she asked.

"Waverly let herself in. She can wait," I answered.

She started banging on my door. "Colt!" she screeched.

"It doesn't sound like she's going to," Jana grumbled. Then in realization, her eyes popped open. "I'm in your bed."

"Our bed," I corrected her.

"Whatever. We're in bed. How are we going to handle this?"

I flopped onto my back. Right, we were hiding the fact we were married, hell, the fact that we're together at all. I needed to find a minute to talk to Beck today and see if he thought Evie would be able to handle this news. I didn't want to hide my relationship with Jana. I wanted to take out a billboard and let the entire Seattle Metro area know Jana was mine. Short of that, I wanted to at least let my family know we were together.

"I'm not going to hide you. Not in our home."

"But, Evie—"

I silenced her with a kiss. "I know. Let me talk to Beckett and see what he thinks. Until then I'll make sure Waverly keeps her mouth shut."

Jana looked down at herself. "I'm naked."

I lifted the blankets to get a better look. "You certainly are. I fucking love being married."
