He laughs. “Of course, I am. You didn't think you'd get rid of me that easily, did you?”

I don't hesitate to claim his lips in a kiss. I need to feel him again, to feel his lips on mine, and God, it destroys me as much as every cell in my body comes alive.

I moan, allowing him to slip his tongue into my mouth and take what's his unapologetically. He devours my lips like I'm his lifeline, wrapping my legs around his huge frame as he angles his head to the side to take my lips in dominant strokes.

“Fuck,” he groans when I detangle myself from the kiss.

I stare at him through hooded eyes, soaking in the sight of him like he's going to vanish into thin air if I look away from him. It's hard to believe that he's right here in my room, holding me, kissing me.

“Wait,” I whisper. “The guards—how did you get in? How did you get past this security? Oh, my God…my Dad, did you see him?” I ramble, wiggling against him to get out of his grip but he effortlessly holds me in place with his muscular arms.

“Breathe,” he murmurs soothingly.

I stare at him like has grown two heads, but my body becomes less tense when his gaze lingers on me. I draw in a breath, slowly puffing out at my pace.

“Good girl,” my pussy throbs at those words, but I try to shake my mind of that sensation because I have more pressing issues to worry about. “Before I answer that, there's something I have to tell you first.”

“What is it?” I ask softly, my eyes not leaving his.

“I love you, Aurora.” My breath catches in my lungs, my eyes widening on impulse.

I'm sure he can feel my body growing tense against him because he leads us to the edge of my bed, propping me against him until I'm sitting right on his crotch.

There's no doubt that I feel the same way about him. I'm in love with Christian, but I just didn't think he'd reciprocate it. Surely, he cares about me, but I didn't think it runs this deep.

My throat closes up. “W-what?”

“I love you. I'm so sorry it took me this long to say it to you. I have loved you since the very moment I laid my eyes on you. I just didn't know it yet. You are the only woman who has seen past the mask I have put on for the world, and you still didn't shy away. There's no one else out there for me. It's just you. It's always been you, baby.” His voice is soft, thick with adoration.

My eyes are glassy and I'm struggling to push back the sobs lodging in my throat. “I love you too, Christian. I love you so much.”

He kisses me, long and hard. “Say it again.”

“I love you.” I wrap my arms around his neck. “There's only you too, Christian. Just you. You are the only man I want. I want all of you. All your demons. All your scars. Every inch of you, baby.” I keep my eyes on him so that he can know that I mean every single word I'm saying.

“Fuck, baby. You have ruined me for every other woman.” He cups my ass, his voice coming out husky.

“Is that such a bad thing?” I bite down on my lip, my eyes lingering on his full, sensual lips.

Damnit, I can't get enough of this man. I can feel him growing hard beneath my ass, so I grind against him teasingly.

“Never,” his lips collide with mine. But, I have barely reciprocated when the knock interrupts us. He wrenches his lips off mine, breathing heavily.

“Cockblocker,” he cusses, fighting back a smile. “That must be your Dad.” He answers, the question weighing heavily on my chest.

I reel back in shock. “My Dad? Does he know you are here?”

Christian responds with a smile. “You can come in, Jonathan.”

“Do you have a death wish?!” I scoot off his lap like it burns my ass.

The door to my room creaks open, and my Dad lets himself in. I open my mouth to speak but the look on his face disarms me, slackening my jaw. My Dad practically drags his frame towards me, rubbing his nape with a worried, embarrassed look in his eyes.

“Dad? What's going on?” I look back and forth between my Dad and Christian, whose gaze softens.

“I’ll be right out.” Christian kisses my cheek and exits the room, leaving me with my Dad.

I wrap my arms around myself, dumping my frame on the bed.
