Page 77 of Tainted Ties

Aurora might’ve killed my cousin, but she didn’t do it on her own, not with that fear of hers.

I was certain her father had ordered the murder of my cousin if he confessed to his daughter’s crime all those years ago.

It made me wonder why he hated her to that extreme, knowing she’d have a target on her back.

Aurora bared her teeth at me. “Screw you.”

A humorless chuckle escaped me. “You already have.”

The murderous rage inside of me grew tenfold when she shoved me. “You say that you can see right through me, but youcan’t,”she yelled, nostrils flaring. “I’m not protectinghim, you bastard.”

None of it made sense.

“Then tell me!” I released her, raking my hands through my hair. “What am I not seeing?”

She appeared worn out, her fight diminishing along with the light in her eyes as she leaned her head against the wall, watching me with a stillness that arose goosebumps along my flesh.

No.I couldn’t believe it.

The air rose ten degrees, thawing my chilled heart. “You’re protecting me?” I asked incredulously.

She nodded lightly and I almost missed the gesture, but I saw the moment her shielded wall crumbled, eyes gleaming with resolve.

All the blood in my body rushed toward my heart, increasing in pace.

When she took a step forward, her gaze leisurely swept across my face, lingering on my mouth for a beat longer.

A moment’s hesitation before she grasped me by the collar, pulled me down, and captured my lips in a fervent kiss.

Teeth clashed and tongues glided, all while an everlasting fire burned deep inside my tainted soul.

My hands wrapped around her waist, bringing her flush against me, terrified that at any moment she’d disappear.

Aurora broke the kiss with a nip at my bottom lip, cheeks flushed. “Take off your pants,” she uttered while taking off her own pajama bottoms.

My cock stood to attention when I followed her order.

Hooking my hands beneath her thighs, I lifted her up, and wrapped her legs around my waist.

I pushed her against the wall, lining myself up with her cunt,needingto feed into this new sense of urgency to be inside her.

When her eyes locked on mine, I slowly eased in, causing us to moan in unison.

Inch by inch, I deliberately took my time savoring this moment.

“You were made for me,” I breathed, relishing the way she squeezed around me.

This was different. I couldn’t explain the fullness I felt in my chest, but it was there, intense and potent.

“I need more,” Aurora gasped, digging her nails into my shoulder blades.

I gripped her hair, exposing the column of her neck and planting wet kisses there as I picked up speed, pumping into her relentlessly.

“Tell me what I already knew,” I repeated, sucking on the skin between her shoulder and neck.

The sounds of her pleasure ricocheted off the walls and straight to my thickening cock. “I want you.”

“Fuck.Say it again,” I groaned, knowing I could come from those three words alone.
