I pull back a little, and look down at her, tilting her chin up with the crook of my finger. “Baby, you couldn’t get rid of me if you tried. That ship has sailed.”

She smiles at that. “Promise?”

“Pinky swear.” I hold my pinky finger up.

Her eyes go wide in mock surprise as she hooks her pinky around mine. “Oh, the pinky swear! Now Iknowyou’re serious. Damn.”

She never ends up signing the papers, allowing the deed to Rush House to be transferred into her name, but over the next couple weeks, she does encourage me to enroll back into classes at ExU. And given my family’s connection to the university the administration was more than willing to skirt protocol and allow me to re-enroll mid-term.

My reign as a Sacred Son is still over, though. There’s too much darkness surrounding the Burning Crown, and I can’t risk Lux getting mixed up in society drama again.

Still, the guys will always be my brothers, and I’d lay down my life for any one of them. But if I want a calm, and happy life with Lux, then I have to put distance between me and anything society-related.

So instead of moving back into Rush House, Lux and I find a little apartment overlooking the water, somewhere we can be alone. Somewhere we can heal, and get lost in each other. All we need is the time and space to build something new and untaintedtogether.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

Roman

A couple of months later,I walk into our little apartment and see Lux cooking stir fry in the kitchen, headphones on, dancing in my boxers, and a sports bra. It gives me so much fucking joy to see the life returning to her, and I smile every time I see it. Every-damn-time.

She’s dancing with her back to me, and I pause, watching her shake that luscious ass. My cock instantly swells at the sight of her. My instinct is to go to her, pull her into my arms, and fuck her right there in the kitchen.

But I hold back, if only for a second. She hasn’t seen me yet, and I take the opportunity to eat her up with my gaze.

Her ass is my favorite, and I can’t take my eyes off it as she sways, using the spatula as a microphone, lip-singing to a song only she can hear. This little moment of joy makes my chest ache. How did I ever think I could move on without her in my life?

Finally, I can’t stand it anymore, and I step into the kitchen, which draws her notice. She jumps back, and squeals, pullingone ear free of the headphones. “You’re home! I didn’t hear you.” She spins around and dips the tip of the spatula into the stir-fry sauce that’s simmering on the stove. “Taste.” She holds it to my lips and I take a small sample.

“Mmm,” I lick my lips. “Needs salt.”

Swatting me in mock anger, she sets the spatula down and takes her headphones off. “What are you doing home so early?”

I shrug and set my backpack down. “Professor Kade cut class early. Something about a student emergency.”

“Ah,” she says with a smile, throwing her arms around my neck. “Well, I’m glad you’re home.”

My hands rest on the globes of her ass, squeezing. “Mmm, are you?” I pull her lower half against me, so she can feel the hard ridge of my erection. “Just how glad are you?”

She laughs, pushing against my chest. “God, you’re insatiable. We fuckedthis morning.I was still half-asleep.”

My lips curl up into a smile. “And?”

Since she was cleared by Dr. Lee to have sex again,and put on reliable birth control, we’ve been fucking nonstop. I can’t get enough of her. I want to lick, and nip, andsuckevery inch of her gorgeous body all the time.

Hands still cupping her ass, I lift her off the ground, and place her on the small kitchen counter, shoving utensils, and bowls aside.

We’re kissing in a frenzy now, my body more desperate to be inside her by the second. I want her so bad, I can barely fucking breathe.

With my lips still devouring her, I reach down and pull her boxers down, exposing her hot pussy. I nearly groan—I can already smell her, that sweet musky scent that is entirely Lux, and never fails to draw me in. I could be in a dead-fucking-sleep, and be aroused instantly with one tantalizing scent of that sweet cunt.

Goddamn, I need to fuck her.Now.

As I push my fingers inside her, she pulls her lips away from mine and throws her head back with a moan. She’s soft, and warm, and so damn tight. With a growl, I push my fingers deeper, finding a rhythm that makes her body tremble. Pulling her bottom lip between her teeth, her eyebrows pinch together, and she whimpers.

God, there’s only so much of that I can hear without going completely insane. Removing my fingers, I quickly unzip my jeans, and pull my cock out, stroking it a couple of times.

Leaning back on the counter, she spreads her thighs in invitation, and I shove my cock into her welcoming pussy. We moan in unison, and I gather her up, pulling her front against me as I thrust into her.
