Page 25 of One Night With You

“Yeah, he did.”

I didn’t ask who Kingston ran for. Just because I was sitting naked on his lap in this instant, didn’t make me that person. But it did remind me that he had done what he could for us.

“I just hated the fact I couldn’t do anything. I tried to push at him, to get out of that situation, and there was nothing I could do. We had all the security set up, and in the end, I stood there like a deer in headlights for too long, and then when I did fight back it wasn’t enough.”

I couldn’t believe I was saying these words at this moment, but with the sound of the cool wind through the trees as the snowstorm had finally ended, I felt as if I could just breathe. Because we were slightly in the dark, and it was Kingston.

“You did everything right. You were smart. You were careful. He bypassed our security in a way that we didn’t even think was possible.”

“Because he killed our neighbor.” My voice broke at the words, and he held me close, running his hands down my side.

“And because he crossed that line, and because he cut the power, he got in. We should have found a way to make sure that hadn’t happened.”

“It wasn’t your fault. You protected us. Throughout all those weeks while we were waiting to see what would happen, you helped.”

And I couldn’t even fight back.

“I can teach you some self-defense if you want. Crew’s better at it, because he does that on the side, but all of us are trained. If you’d rather Daisy orJennifer so you have a woman, they can help. Especially with some of the center of mass issues. But I’ll show you a few things. I don’t want to say for next time, because there’s not going to be a next time. But I can help.”

I looked up at him then and swallowed hard.

“Really?”

“I should have mentioned it before. But both of us were very good about not talking about any of this.”

“And then there was the whole avoiding you thing.”

He frowned at me. “You ever going to tell me why?”

Not exactly. But I didn’t say that out loud. “I needed to find my footing.”

He played with the end of my hair, his fingers brushing my bare shoulder. “And did you figure that out?”

I shook my head. “No. But I’m still here.”

His cock twitched against my backside, and I swallowed hard, with reality finally settled in. We were both naked in his bed, all alone in a snowstorm, and I was sitting on his lap.

“I was wondering when you were going to realize exactly where you were sitting.”

“Oh, I knew. And I felt.”

“So you just weren’t going to say anything. You were just going to sit on my lap for the rest of the night?”

“You’re the one who put me there,” I whispered.

Kingston grinned then, his eyes brightening. I loved when his eyes brightened. “Okay, I can out you somewhere else.”

And then I was on my back, and my thighs were on his shoulders as he spread me before him. “So soft and pink.”

“Kingston,” I whispered.

“You tell me when to stop.”

“Never.” I hadn’t meant to say that word. A truth so rich in secrets I knew it would break me, but when he met my gaze, his face between my thighs, his tongue so close to my pussy, there was nothing else I could say.

In answer he hummed against me, as he began to lick and suck at my clit. My toes curled, and I gripped the bedsheets, arching my back as he continued to eat me out. His tongue laved at me, and then he speared me with one finger, two, stretching me until I knew that I wouldn’t be able to last much longer. When he curled his fingers and rubbed against that little bundle of nerves, I lost it. My hands going to my breasts to pinch my nipples as I came, riding his face with all abandon.

He went to hover over me but then I shook my head, twisting so I pushed him down on his back.
