“Princess, wait.” I tug gently on her hair, and she releases me with an obscene pop, looking up at me with confusion.

“What’s wrong? Did I—”

I cut her off, hauling her up onto my lap and slamming my mouth against hers. She gasps, and I take advantage, thrusting my tongue past her lips to tangle with hers. Lil melts into me, fingers digging into my shoulders.

Fuck, I’ve missed this. Missed her. Nothing else matters when I’ve got her in my arms.

“I need to hear you say it again, princess. Please.” I’m not too proud to beg, not when it comes to her.

Her eyes shine with unshed tears, and she cups my face, thumbs brushing over my cheekbones. “I love you, Sebastian Barron. I always have.”

Her words slam into me like a fucking freight train, stealing the air from my lungs. I surge forward, capturing her lips again.

She whimpers, and I swallow the sound greedily. Mine. All fucking mine.

I stand abruptly, hands gripping her thighs as I carry her towards the bedroom. Our bedroom. Where she belongs.

She breaks the kiss, panting. “Your injuries—”

“I don’t give a fuck about my injuries. I need you. Now.”

I kick the door shut behind us and lay her down on the bed, crawling over her like a man possessed. She’s a goddamn vision sprawled out beneath me, hair fanned across the pillow, lips swollen from my kisses.

“You’re wearing too many clothes.”

She arches her back, helping me remove the offending dress before reaching for my shirt. Together, we strip each other bare, desperate for skin-on-skin contact.

“Fuck, I’ve missed this. Missed you.” I bury my face in the crook of her neck, inhaling her intoxicating scent.

Lil runs her hands down my back, blunt nails digging in deliciously. “I’m here now. I’m not going anywhere.”

I lift my head, meeting her gaze head-on. “Promise me.”

“I promise.”

Overcome with emotion, I claim her mouth again, and her legs come up to wrap around me. I groan against her lips, the sting of my split lip mixing with the intoxicating taste of her. I don’t give a fuck. I’d endure any pain to keep kissing her like this.

I tear my mouth from hers, trailing kisses down her neck. She tilts her head, giving me better access, and I nip and suck at her pulse point, relishing the way she shivers against me.

Then I kiss my way down her stomach and move my fingers to her pussy, finding her slick and ready for me. I slide a finger inside, feeling her walls wrap around it.

She pushes her hips up. “More.”

“So greedy.” I add two fingers, stretching her slowly.

Soft whimpers escape her, and it’s the hottest fucking thing I’ve ever heard. I dip my head between her thighs, darting my tongue to flick her clit.

Her hips jolt, and I force her back down with a hand on her stomach. “Be a good girl.”

I increase the pressure on her clit. Her body trembles, her thighs tensing around my head.

I work her over with my tongue and fingers, reveling in every gasp and moan I draw from her sweet lips. Her taste floods my senses.

I could fucking drown in her and die a happy man.

“Sebastian, please.” Lil’s breathless plea shoots straight to my aching cock.

I lift my head, meeting her hooded gaze. “Please what, princess?”
