No restraint left.

No barrier high or wide enough that could hold me back.

I stormed across the space separating us, and one second later, I had my girl in my arms.

FORTY-THREE

RAVEN

The ground trembledas Otto swept me off my feet. A grunt ripped up his throat as I wrapped my legs around his waist and curled myself around his big, beautiful body.

“Otto,” I whimpered, and in a flash, he had one arm locked around my waist and the fingers of his other hand tangled up in the twist I had in my hair.

His mouth crushed against mine in a landslide of desperation.

His lips demanding and his tongue beseeching.

In a passion and need so intense it crashed through my veins. The same way as his.

A life-beat that pounded through our beings.

I thought I’d known it all along. Sure that I’d felt the yearning locked tight within him, but I’d never been able to sense the magnitude of it until right then.

“Love you, Raven,” he mumbled against my mouth, his hand twining tighter in my hair as he carried me across the kitchen and toward his bedroom. “Love you so much. I can’t keep it back any longer.”

“Don’t. Don’t keep it back. Don’t keep it from me.”

“Won’t.Won’t ever again.”

Joy saturated my spirit, and I arched into him, rubbing myself against his hard, packed body as he started up the three steps.

Rather than walk through the door, he pinned me to the wall next to it.

His big body covered mine like a shroud.

He pressed his hard cock to my center as he kissed me into disorder.

Madness took us over as we clawed and yanked at each other, anything to get the other closer.

“You’re mine, Raven. Always have been.” It was a growl of possession as his lips roamed from my mouth to my jaw and down my neck.

My head rocked back against the wall to give him better access, and my fingers dove into the short pieces of his hair.

“Just like you’ve always been mine.”

It whipped out of me.

An unmitigated claim.

He edged back for the flash of a second. A wicked storm glinted in the depths of his blue, blue eyes. “Yeah, darlin’. You’ve always had me enchanted.”

He hiked me up again, his kiss potent.

Exquisite.

Though I felt the tiniest bit of hesitation as he stopped right in the doorway.

He edged back to look at me.
