Page 51 of The Scars of Us

Once again she searched my gaze with hers, looking for the truth in my words. Doubt and apprehension still resided within her eyes, which I expected given her past. I knew it would take more than just my words to make her believe me, so I showed her how I felt with the only way I could think of.

Leaning down, I softly pressed my lips to hers, hoping I could chip away at some of her walls. The clothes fell from her hands and her arms slowly glided up around my neck as she reciprocated my kiss, pushing her body against mine.

I grabbed the undersides of her thighs and picked her up, wrapping her legs around me as I took her back to the bed. As soon as we met the mattress, I entered her in one, swift thrust, rooting myself deep within her.

I wanted to take my time with her, show her that I meant what I had said, but that was so fucking hard with the way her body fit mine, perfectly molding to me as we tangled in sexual ecstasy.

Kaiya lifted her hips, making me sink deeper within her. I groaned against her lips before tracing over the bottom one with my tongue ring. She moaned, then sucked my tongue back in her mouth, eagerly consuming me while I fucked her.

My hands tangled in her hair as I devoured her, loving the taste of her hot mouth. Pulling on the soft strands, I caused her to gasp against my lips while I thrust slowly inside her, bringing us both closer to climax again.

I wanted to make her come, especially since she told me she needed to control it—that made me want to do it even more. I lowered my hands, slowly caressing each curve of her soft body, intensifying my strokes. “I want to make you come, baby.”

She weakly protested, shaking her head, but she continued to kiss me. Fuck, I wanted to break her rules so bad, demolish every boundary between us, but I knew I couldn’t do it all at once. We’d already broken this rule before, so it was a good place to start. “Please, baby, let me make you come.”

After a few seconds, she whimpered in my mouth, “Yes.”

I nibbled her bottom lip, then sat up. Her half-lidded gaze found mine as I hooked my arms around her thighs, gripping the delicate flesh in my hands as I began to pummel her.

“Fuck, baby, you’re so tight around me. I love the way your pussy hugs my dick,” I growled.

Kaiya’s eyes rolled back before she closed her eyes in bliss, fisting the sheets while I pounded into her. She was so close to coming; I could feel her tightening around me as she repeatedly moaned my name.

Then, her thighs began to tremble in my hands as she orgasmed. Tremors of pleasure racked her body as her walls throbbed around my cock, sending me into euphoria with her. I barely pulled out before I started coming, streaming my release all over her stomach.

Reaching over the side of the bed, I picked up the towel I had brought for her earlier before wiping my cum off her skin.

Once I was finished, I pulled her body to mine, wrapping my arms around her and pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “I know you don’t completely trust me, but it’s different between us. I’m not going to use you.”

She kissed my chest, then looked up at me. I loved the flush I put on her skin from just having sex with her. “Prove it.” Her voice was strong, but those beautiful eyes looked vulnerable.

My eyes playfully narrowed. “Is that a challenge, Warrior?”

“Yep. And I think it will be your biggest one yet.”

Leaning down, I grazed my lips over hers. “Accepted.”

When we finally broke apart, Kaiya rose off the bed, grabbing her clothes once again from the floor.

Once she finished getting dressed, I slipped on some shorts and walked her out to her car. “See you tomorrow?”

“Maybe.” she smiled. When I raised my eyebrow at her, she giggled. “If you’re lucky.”

I scoffed as she got in her car. I watched her drive away before I went back up to my apartment. That night, I slept the best I had since Thursday.

Fear burrowed in my body, making every muscle and joint uncomfortably stiff as I sat waiting for the hospital administrator with Kamden and Nori. I hadn’t been this close to Kaleb since theincident, and that was eight years ago. Nausea assaulted my insides as my leg bounced frantically, my hands gripping the armrests of the chair to keep myself from bolting out of the door.

Reaching over, Kamden placed his large hand over mine. “Everything’s going to be okay,sorella,”he assured with a comforting smile.

Giving a tight, forced smile of my own, I nodded. I didn’t want to speak, afraid my voice would crack if I did.I can’t do this. I can’t do this. He’s going to come out here and find me. He’ll finish what he started. I have to get out of here.

As I was about to make a run for the exit, Nori silently linked our fingers before squeezing my hand gently. “You got this, girl.”

Squeezing back, I released a deep breath.You can do this. Don’t let him win. You can’t let him get released. He’ll hurt more people. He’ll hurt you.

Just then, the door opened, causing my head to whip around—an older man with glasses in a white coat walked in with a bunch of thick files in his hands. His gaze perused over us as he rounded the desk in front of us to stand on the opposite side.

Setting the files down, he introduced himself, “Good morning. My name is Dr. Samuel Owens, and I oversee things here at the Massachusetts Treatment Center.”
