Now I knew he meant Becca.

I looked down at my girl and back at King.

“Working on it, Prez.”

He nodded, walked to the bar and sat down next to Steele.

Becca grabbed my hand. There was a heated look in her eyes as she pulled me toward the hall.

“Let’s go to bed, Blade.”

Chapter Twenty

Beck

Blade led me down the hallway outside the bar, past the kitchen to the staircase. I hadn’t been upstairs before. When we reached his door, he didn’t open it immediately.

He stood in front of his bedroom door, looking me over.

“Are you sure?”

I looked up at him.

Was I sure? This was the first man that had any effect on me since I was fifteen. Didn’t I owe it to myself to try?

“I don’t know. I won’t know unless I try, right? Don’t think, just feel? I know how you make me feel, Blade. I know I want to feel more. Will I be able to go through with it? Maybe.” I shrugged.

Placing his hands on my shoulders and sliding them down my arms to my hands, he lifted my hands and kissed my knuckles.

“If at any time you want to stop, we stop. No matter what.” He demanded, “Promise me you’ll tell me if you want to stop.”

“I promise.”

Opening the door, he pulled me in, closing the door behind him and leaving everything and everyone else outside the room.

“If you only knew how long I’ve wanted this,” he said.

Sliding his cut over his shoulders, I said nothing as he hung it on the back of the door.

Turning back to me, he took a deep breath.

“I don’t want to hurt you, but I can’t contain myself right now.”

Taking a step forward, I placed my hands against his chest. Leaning up on my toes, I placed a soft kiss on his cheek and whispered in his ear,“I don’t want you contained. I want everything you have.”

He captured my face in his hands and kissed me.

This kiss differed from the others. It was hungry, and it was desperate. It was like he could feel everything inside me and he was feeding off it. He nipped my bottom lip, asking for entry, and I couldn’t help the whimper that escaped when his tongue slipped inside my mouth.

My hands on his chest felt the rumble when he growled as his lips moved along my jaw, finding my ear and biting my ear lobe. The moment of pain shot to my center and my knees buckled.

Blade, with a speed I couldn’t comprehend, wrapped one arm around my back, holding me in place. His other hand reached around, fisting my hair, and he tilted my head to deepen the kiss.

I slid my arms up around his neck, pulling at his hair to keep him from moving away.

He must have sensed what I was doing because he pulled away a fraction and said, “I’m not going anywhere, baby. You aren’t leaving this room until I’ve had every inch of you under me.”

He reached over his head, grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled it forward in that sexy way.
