He was my protector.

My rock.

My soul mate.

Myeverything.

He must have seen what I needed him to because he tossed me to the bed with a growl, his hand going to stroke his rigid, perfect cock as he opened his nightstand for protection. He shoved his jeans down and rolled it on, pulling his shirt up over his back in one swift movement that had him displayed gloriously naked in front of me. Tucker walked on his knees to meet me at the center of the bed as I pulled away my dress, but as soon as I tossed it to the floor, I pushed him onto his back and straddled his hips.

His brow shot up, but the excitement in his eyes was hard to miss. He loved having me this way. He openly gave me control when I craved it, letting me demand what I needed from him. And right now, I just wanted to ride him senseless.

Lowering myself onto his cock, I leaned back with my hands on his knees and adjusted to my feet, giving Tucker full view and access to my body.

“Holy, fuck, princess. Yes.” His hands gripped my legs, his eyes fixed on my core. Slowly, I began to move, testing the new position I’d wanted to try, and as soon as I was used to the movement, I sped up, my hips rolling to a faster rhythm. Tucker bit through a curse, his grip moving to my ankles to give me purchase on the bed.

“Izzy– I–” His words cut off the faster I moved, and I began tightening my core each time I lifted from his cock, loving the expressions on his face. Every moan he couldn’t hold back. Wanting to see what all I could drag out of him.

“Fuck.” With one last groan Tucker grabbed my hips and flipped me. “One more minute with you riding me like that, and I was gonna come.”

I smirked, knowing I’d found his kryptonite position, and then he dragged my hips into his lap, pulling me into mine.

“Not gonna work when I haven’t seen you shatter around my cock yet.” He smirked back as he began to thrust, and it was my turn to bite my lip and hold back a curse. The way his cock hit in this position, stroking every perfect angle all at once. I wasn’t even sure half a minute had passed before I felt my orgasm building, but when Tucker reached between my thighs and brushed my clit, I was done. My back arching off the bed as I cried out through my release.

He just kept going, dragging another two from me before flipping me over so my ass was in the air. I quickly turned around, moving to my knees, and he gave me a playful, challenging look at my defiance. With a smirk, I pushed against his shoulders to let him know I wanted him back on the bed. It was my turn at control again, and I quickly climbed over him the way I’d been before. Except this time I didn’t need any lead up. I knew how to move, and I knew how to bring him close.

I tightened my core around his cock with the first roll of my hips, taking no mercy. The control I had over my body was like a dance as I rode him, and as he let out a string of curses, he slipped his thumb between my thighs one more time, sending me into an unexpected release right before his own.

When we were both done, he reached out, and I gave him my hand to pull me up, my body collapsing over his chest.

“I love you,” I whispered.

“With everything,” he murmured back, making my heart melt all over again. The exact way he’d told me the very first time. The same room. Same bed. But two very different people now after a whirlwind of a journey together. One that was long from over.

Our breaths were rapid as our hearts beat wildly in our chests, and I listened to his beneath my ear, every piece of me thankful and knowing I was blessed that it beat for me. That it kept this man alive and in my life.

After catching our breath, we got dressed quickly, knowing we’d be missed outside if we were gone too long, but Tucker wrapped his arms around me before I could walk out his door, lifting me into the air, and he spoke in my ear from behind me.

“You know we didn’t solve our problem yet, right?”

I sucked in a breath. I’d honestly forgotten, so caught up in how I felt, but I’d already decided what I was going to do…

Chapter 25

NIC

I really had the absolute worst timing.Or perhaps perfect timing for once.Both, really, today, because I’d never imagined when I’d heard the angry, rushed voice behind the bathroom door that I’d find Izzy in there on the ground. That was a moment I was grateful that I’d stumbled upon.

I’d heard the stories of her PTSD, but I’d never witnessed it before today. The ashen color of her features and the way she’d sagged against me had truly scared me in that moment. So, when she asked for me to find both Tucker and Annie, I rushed to comply. Tucker had been easy, already coming in from outside. I just pointed him in her direction with what happened, and he’d taken off like a shot to reach her. It was finding Annie that I now wished I’d protested.

I’d skimmed the backyard, just to be sure, but I’d remembered seeing her disappear inside with Jet some time ago. They’d been fighting. Which was my fault. I knew asking about the living situation would irritate her,but I honestly hadn’t meant to send her into a full-blown fight with Jet just hours before their graduation.

Confirming she and Jet weren’t outside or in the kitchen, I asked Jenna in passing if she knew where they might be and found my way down a back hall she suggested. Just one twist of the door handle told me it was locked, but before I could walk away, I heard a rapid series of whimpers turn into a loud, satisfied moan.

I froze, my heart pounding in my ears as I listened to Jet praise Annie for her orgasm. My breaths became shallow, in shock for those few torturous seconds that I was forced to listen. A soon as I could move, I backed away, taking off for the now vacant loo as I tried to regain control.

I needed composure. Izzy was the only one who’d seen me raw here besides my father, and he was so certain I was getting better. Ineededto be getting better.Overall, you are.I tried to reassure myself even as doubt set in again, and as soon as I’d collected myself, I slipped the mask of indifference back on and headed outside, grabbing a cup of iced tea from the buffet table and finding my father in a corner of the garden with his brother.

“Are you interested?” I heard Uncle Stef say as I approached from the side.
