Page 72 of Echoes of Obsession

“Stay with me,” she says. “It’s just you and me.”

“That’s my line,” I tease, accepting her invitation and shoving my tongue in her mouth. So fucking delicious.

“Taste me later,” she cries. “Please, Ghost. I need you.”

I nod, positioning myself between her legs. I take a moment to look into her eyes to make sure she’s still with me. And to make sure I’m fully with her. The trust and love I see there make my heart ache. I guide myself to her entrance, coating my cock in her juices, and with one slow, deliberate thrust, I enter her.

The sensation is overwhelming, the heat and tightness of her body wrapping around me. I move slowly at first, giving her timeto adjust, watching her face for any sign of discomfort. But all I see is pleasure, a soft moan escaping her lips.

“Snow,” I groan, unable to hold back any longer. I start to move, finding a rhythm that makes her gasp and clutch at my shoulders. Our bodies move together, perfectly in sync, every thrust bringing us physically and emotionally closer.

Her hands roam over my back, nails digging in as I hit a particularly sensitive spot. I can feel her getting closer, her body tensing, her moans growing louder.

“Ghost, I’m…” she cries out, and I feel her shatter around me, her body convulsing in pleasure.

The sight of her, the feel of her coming undone beneath me, sends me over the edge. I thrust deep one last time, my own release hitting hard and fast. I collapse onto her, careful not to crush her, our bodies still joined, our breaths mingling.

I hold her close, both of us trembling from the intensity of it all. I kiss her forehead, her cheeks, her lips, whispering words of love and reassurance.

“Thank you,” she whispers, her voice soft and content.

“For what?” I ask, brushing a strand of hair from her face.

“For being patient. For loving me. For this,” she says, her eyes shining with tears and happiness.

“Always, Snow,” I promise, kissing her deeply. “Always.”

We lie there for a while, wrapped up in each other, the world outside forgotten. In this moment, nothing else matters. It’s just us, together, stronger than ever. And I know, no matter what, we’ll get through anything as long as we have each other.

Memories try to break free and take control of my emotions. It turns out that Hunter was the one stealing from me. He would doctor some files to mess things up and transfer the funds to one of his accounts. He’s been doing it for years. Hayes found over a million dollars in the account he was using to steal from my company. Fucking bastard.

The memory changes to the one of Hunter on top of my woman. It’s a loud one that will be with me for the rest of my life. But nothing is as loud as the echoes of my obsession with this woman—an obsession so strong that it binds us together in an unbreakable bond.

“Thank you for peeing on my couch, baby,” I whisper, thinking back to the very first night we met.

Her soft snores are my response. Smiling, I close my eyes, hold my obsession tightly, and follow her to sleep.

Epilogue

Reynolds

It’s been a year since the Sentinels merged with the Obsidians. Never in my life have I felt like a family as I do now. I’m content and the happiest I’ve ever been.

Dove is standing in front of the entire family as Ghost stands beside her holding a small box. We’ve all spent the past few months receiving lessons on American Sign Language. Dove has opened up around us more now that she can talk to us. We’re nowhere near as good as Dove, Doc, and Snow, but we get by.

“Last month, Dove explained to us that the word Obsidian didn’t actually have its own sign,” Ghost says. “You had to spell it out. But we were informed that you could make your own sign for words or people that are personal to you. Dove created this sign to mean Obsidian.”

Dove slides her index finger across her forehead, and we copy.

“Black,” Snow says.

Then Dove makes fists with both of her hands and taps one on top of the other twice.

“Rock,” Snow smiles.

“Combined, like this,”Dove signs slowly so we can keep up.“Is the new ASL sign for Obsidians.”

Dove smiles excitedly as we all show our new talent.
