He narrowed his eyes, assessing me. Then he smiled, a flash of the cocky charm that had drawn me to him in the first place. "See, you do care about me. You love me, remember?"
I rolled my eyes, trying to ignore the flutter in my chest. "I care about your wound opening up and getting blood all over Dante's couch," I retorted.
His response was dark, laced with a hint of something else. "I have a feeling you’ll be seeing a lot more of my blood," he said, his tone dropping, sending a shiver down my spine.
"What does that mean?" I asked, caught off guard by the sudden shift.
"Just that I'd die to protect you," Kage replied, his gaze intense. "Don’t ever doubt it."
The solemnity in his voice made my heart ache. Plus, I didn’t doubt it. He’d already taken a bullet for me "I don't want you to die for me, Kage."
He reached for my hand, his grip firm. "I know. But it's the truth."
As soon as he touched me, I felt a rush of heat flash through my veins. I could tell he sensed it too. No matter how much I wanted to deny it, the physical draw between us was impossible to hide from. He lifted my hand to his mouth and brushed his lips across that sensitive spot at the center of my palm.
My lips parted.No, I needed to stop this. We were at Dante’s house, and I’d had sex with him just last night. I couldn’t let anything happen here. Not with Kage. And yet...
And yet, when Kage’s hand moved to my waist to pull me in close, I somehow found myself not resisting.
He planted his mouth against mine hungrily, his tongue slipping past my lips like he had been waiting for this moment from the second he’d laid eyes on me. I knew I should have stopped it, but I couldn’t. I sank into his arms, my need getting the better of me, lighting me on fire and sending all-consuming shockwaves of need through my system.
"Fuck, Rebel," he growled against my mouth. He pushed me back against the wall, his hand sliding down to my thigh. He kissed me for a long time, stealing my breath and my resolve. His fingers dug into my leg like he wanted to mark me. Did he know,on some level, that I had been with Dante, and now he was trying to claim me as his again?
He kissed me again, his teeth catching on my bottom lip before he stripped off my pants and panties, moving his hand between my legs and cupping his fingers around my blazing-hot pussy.
"See how wet you are for me already, baby?" he murmured. I could only moan in response. He brushed his fingers against my soaking slit then brought those same fingers to my lips, glazing my mouth with my own wetness. I tasted the muskiness of my pussy on his skin, the sheer filthiness of it sending another shockwave of need through me causing me to wrap my legs around him.
"You want me to fuck you, don’t you?"
I shook my head in desperation. “Fuck the girl wearing the ring you bought her.”
“I didn’t buy that ring. She bought it for herself.”
“It still means you’re hers.”
“I’myours. It doesn’t matter what happens after us. I willalwaysbe yours.”
All my good sense was screaming at me to stop this, but I was overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of his vow and my need for him. He hadn’t bought Daniella that ring so maybe it was all business. Maybe he didn’t have feelings for her at all. Would I really always be his—not in body but in his heart? Because I knew that no matter what happened, part of him had burrowed inside my soul and I would die if I tried to extract him completely.
“Will you… will you fuck her?”
“No.” He said it without hesitation.
My mouth twisted. “But you’ll fuck others.”
“And so will you, Rebel. The only difference is, if I fuck someone else, I will always be imagining it’syou.”
I hated the idea of him being with anyone else. Could I really let him go tonight without feeling him inside me again? Without feeling what he would give to others, even if he was thinking of me?
One last time, I thought. I'll end it, but not before I get one more taste, one more touch, one more orgasm.
One more piece of him to hold in my broken heart forever.
“You win, Kage. I want you to fuck me. But then we’re over.”
At my words, Kage’s expression darkened. Despite his injuries, it took him no time at all to slide on the condom he pulled out of the packet that had been in his back pocket, his efficient movements only making me burn hotter.
He grasped his hard on and guided it towards my waiting pussy. I watched, breath tearing out of my lungs, as he planted himself at the entrance to my slit. Slowly, he fed his cock into me, his eyes pinned on mine as he took in my reaction.
