Page 15 of Knox's Fate

"Ruby..." His voice was a low rumble, filled with a yearning he could no longer contain.

She knocked his hand away as she turned her back and began to walk away. “I’m not doing this again.”

She had barely taken two steps before he reached out, grabbed her arm and dragged her back to him. In an instant, they collided, a whirlwind of need and raw emotion. Their lips met in a kiss that was both fierce and tender, each one pouring years of unspoken longing into the connection. Knox wrapped his arms around her, lifting her off the ground as if she weighed nothing, and Ruby's legs instinctively wrapped around his waist, pulling him even closer.

“What the hell, Knox!" Ruby snarled, pushing at him, completely unafraid, which turned him on even more. Her anger seemed to be momentarily forgotten as he trapped her between the wall and his body.

Knox's eyes smoldered as he held her in place, his body pressed against hers. "I'm not leaving, Ruby. Not until we finish what we started." Her breath quickened, her resistance melting as Knox's breath fanned her cheek, his deep voice sending shivers down her spine.

"You... you can't just...”

Knox silenced her protests with a fierce, hungry kiss, his lips claiming hers with a passion that left her breathless. Ruby's hands, which had been pushing against his chest, now found their way around his neck, pulling him closer as if she couldn't get enough of him.

Their kiss deepened, tongues tangling together, tasting and exploring each other with an urgency that belied their earlier anger. Knox's hands roamed over Ruby's curves, his touch both possessive and reverent as he worshipped her body through her clothes.

Breaking the kiss, Knox trailed hot, open-mouthed kisses along Ruby's jawline, down her neck, eliciting a series of soft moans from her. "I've been thinking about this, about you, ever since I left," he murmured against her skin, his voice thick with desire.

Ruby's head fell back, exposing the delicate line of her throat as she surrendered to the sensations coursing through her. He allowed her body to slide down the wall, but never gave her a chance to get away. His hands found the hem of her shirt, and with deft movements, he lifted it over her head, revealing a lacy black bra that barely contained her ample breasts. Knox's breath caught in his throat at the sight, his eyes darkening with hunger.

"Beautiful," he growled, his voice hoarse with need.

Ruby's body trembled as Knox's mouth claimed her nipple through the lace, his tongue swirling and sucking, sending waves of pleasure through her. His hands roamed lower, sliding over her flat stomach before deftly unfastening her jeans and sliding them down her legs, leaving her standing before him in nothing but her lingerie.

Knox stepped back, his eyes raking over her exposed body, drinking in the sight of her. He had been able to guess at the lushness of her body, but even his wildest fantasies had not prepared him for the reality of her. Ruby's cheeks flushed withdesire, her breath coming in short gasps as she stood there, utterly vulnerable yet exuding a raw, primal sexuality.

Taking her hand, Knox led her back to the small bedroom she had been using right off the kitchen. The room was simple yet inviting, with a large, plush bed taking center stage. He could almost hear her heart pounding as he turned to face her, his intense gaze raking over her body once more.

Knox stripped her of her lingerie, leaving her standing naked before him. Ruby's eyes darkened as he laid her back on the bed, revealing her glistening, wet folds. Knox's eyes zeroed in on her exposed sex, his breath catching at the sight of her swollen, aroused flesh. His eyes never left hers as he climbed onto the bed, positioning himself between her thighs.

Ruby's breath quickened as Knox's hand slid up her thigh, his touch electric against her sensitive skin. He teased her, his fingers brushing against her wetness but not quite touching the place she needed him to touch most.

"Please, Knox," she whispered, her voice thick with need.

A satisfied smile played on Knox's lips as he covered her with his body, positioning himself at her entrance, his long, hard, thick length sliding effortlessly into her warm, welcoming sheath. Ruby arched her back, her body making accommodation for his size as if they were perfectly made for each other.

Knox's eyes closed momentarily as he savored the sensation of being embedded deep within her, her hot, silken walls gripping him tightly. He began to move, his hips thrusting in a slow, deliberate rhythm, each stroke eliciting a soft moan from Ruby.

"You feel so good, Ruby," he groaned, his voice strained as he fought for control. "So tight, so wet..."

Knox's primal instincts took over, his movements becoming more urgent, his thrusts driving deeper, filling her completely with each stroke. Ruby matched his rhythm, her body risingto meet his, their skin slapping together in a primal dance of pleasure.

As Knox's pace quickened, Ruby's moans grew louder, her body tensing as she teetered on the edge of release. Knox felt his own climax building, his body coiled like a spring, ready to unleash his passion.

"Come for me, Ruby," he commanded, his voice hoarse with desire.

Ruby's back arched off the bed, her body shuddering as her orgasm ripped through her, her inner walls clenching around Knox's shaft, milking him with her release. With a final, powerful thrust, Knox surrendered to his own climax, his body convulsing as he filled her with his hot seed, marking her as his.

Breathless and spent, Knox collapsed onto the bed beside Ruby, his heart still pounding in his chest. He pulled her close, their sweat-slicked bodies entwined, and pressed a tender kiss to her temple. He knew the problems they faced had not been settled, but tomorrow’s issues would have to wait until tomorrow.

CHAPTER 10

KNOX

As they lay there, entangled in each other's arms, the events of the day seemed to melt away, leaving only the heat of their desire and the promise of more to come. Knox knew he had found something special in Ruby, and he was determined to protect and cherish this new bond, no matter what challenges lay ahead.

The night stretched on, a symphony of sighs and whispers, the heat of their passion banishing all thoughts of the outside world. For those stolen hours, nothing existed beyond the entwining of their bodies and souls as they finally gave in to the magnetic force that had drawn them together since the beginning.

Knox held Ruby close, her curves melding perfectly to his muscular frame as they explored the depths of their connection. It was a dance as old as time, primal and consuming, and he reveled in every second of it.
