Page 69 of The Scars of Us

“Yes,” she moaned. “I’m on the shot.”

I didn’t know what that was, but I figured it was some form of birth control. I didn’t really care, plus I was sure that Kaiya wouldn’t let me come inside her if she wasn’t on some type of contraceptive.

Rolling her hips, Kaiya’s snug walls continued to perfectly caress my cock. I pounded up into her, jetting my cum inside her after only a few more strokes. Her pussy pulsated around my dick as her body shuddered her orgasm against me.

We stayed like that until our breathing evened. Then, Kaiya reluctantly sighed, “I better get going home. It’s late.”

I brushed her hair out of her face, then caressed her cheek with my thumb as our gazes met.Here goes nothing.“Stay with me.”

Her eyes searched mine. Framing her face with my hands, I pulled her to me, pressing a tender kiss on her lips before softly saying, “Please.”

Silently, she lay her forehead against mine as she exhaled a deep breath. She remained quiet, and the longer time passed, the more I was sure she would say no. My pulse pounded as I waited for her response, and after what seemed like hours, she finally whispered, “Okay.”

Abruptly pulling back, I looked at her in surprise. “You’ll stay?”

She smiled softly at me. “I’ll stay.”

Grinning back, I stood and carried her to the bedroom. After getting ready for bed, I slid under the covers as Kaiya stood nervously on the other side. “This is the part where you get in with me,” I teased with a grin.

Toying with the hem of the shirt I let her borrow to sleep in, she bit her bottom lip nervously as she looked at me. “I’ve never spent the night with a guy before.”

“Never?”

“Never,” she repeated.

Sitting up, I scooted to the edge of the bed where she stood, framing her between my legs. I linked both of my hands with hers as I pressed a kiss to her stomach, then tilted my head up to look at her. “Are you afraid of me, Warrior?”

Her brows furrowed as she firmly responded, “No.”

“Do you trust me?” That was the million dollar question.

We stared at one another as she contemplated her answer. My heart pounded in my chest waiting for her response, wanting so badly for her to trust me, needing her to. “Yes,” she finally replied, barely above a whisper.

The tension in my chest faded away from her answer. I moved back on the bed, pulling her with me as I lay down. Facing each other, I brought her into me as I covered us with the blanket. Pushing some hair behind her ear, I gently kissed her lips, then her forehead before wrapping my arms around her. “Goodnight, Warrior.”

Sighing, she rested her head on my bicep as her arms draped over my bare side. Her stiff body relaxed as I rubbed her back, and she snuggled closer to me. Burying my face in her neck, I inhaled deeply, enjoying my smell still lingering on her skin. Closing my eyes, I loved the feel of her warm, delicate frame against my much larger one. Even though our bodies were so different, hers was perfect for mine in every way.

Tangled with the girl of my dreams, it didn’t take long for me to surrender to sleep.

My eyes fluttered open to Ryker’s sleeping face. Once the fog of sleep lifted, realization sank in.Holy shit, I spent the night.Anxiety attempted to trap me in its clutches, my heartbeat and breathing starting to speed up as panic tried to set in.

Focusing on Ryker’s handsome face, I took deep breaths as I studied his features.You’re with Ryker. You’re safe. He won’t hurt you.That warm, fuzzy feeling that he gave me so often began to set in as I stared at him, melting away the anxiousness building inside me.

My eyes moved down, scanning over the beautiful artwork inked on his chest and arms. I wanted to trace over them with my fingers, commit them to memory, but I didn’t want to wake him when he was so peaceful.

After several minutes, he began to stir before stretching lazily like a cat as he opened his eyes. When they met mine, a sleepy smile spread over that sexy mouth. “Good morning, beautiful,” he said, his voice still thick with sleep.

“Morning,” I murmured back.

He leaned forward, eyes on my lips, but I pulled away. He gave me a questioning look, to which I replied, “I haven’t brushed my teeth.”

Laughing, he threaded his fingers through my hair as he said, “I don’t care about your breath, baby. Before I do anything else, the first thing I want to do is kiss my girl.”

Damn, he just gets better and better.I smiled before conceding, “Okay, but closed lips until I brush my teeth.”

He chuckled again, the sound vibrant and full of life. “Whatever you say, Warrior.”

Leaning toward me again, he pressed his lips to mine. Even just that small kiss sent tingles throughout my body.
