Hang the smugglers. I can’t deny him.

Maybe he’s right. Maybe I need to stop yearning for my parents’ love. Maybe it’s time to face reality. My dad tried to ruin my life. Maybe he’ll never love me.

“I’ll try.”

He smiles and his dimple makes an appearance. I should make him smile more often because he doesn’t smile enough. He used to smile all the time as a teenager.

“Thank you, Bunny. You won’t regret this.”

I open my mouth to ask him how he’s going to make it up to me but he picks me up and throws me over his shoulder before I have a chance to speak.

“Talking time is over. Time to show you how much I appreciate you taking a chance on me.”

I won’t say no to his idea.

I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to cut myself off from my parents but if this is my reward for trying, I’m going to try.

Chapter 23

“Maya drives me wild. I’m never letting her go.” ~ Caleb

Caleb

Ilay Maya down on the bed and cover her with my body. This is where she belongs. In my bed – with me – forever. I nearly told her I love her. But I didn’t want my declaration of love to influence her decision. She needs to realize her parents aren’t worth her love on her own.

But I’m done thinking about those pieces of shit. I have a warm, willing woman beneath me. The woman I’ve always wanted but thought I couldn’t have.

So many years lost. Years I could have spent with my bunny. Years we could have spent building our family.

I force those thoughts away and concentrate on Maya. She flutters her lashes at me and bites her bottom lip. My shy girl becomes a temptress in the bed. I fucking love it.

I pull her lip from her teeth. “Don’t harm my lip.”

“I think it’s my lip.”

“When we’re in this bed. Together. It’s mine.” I punch my hips and press my hard length into her stomach and she gasps. “You’re mine.”

She winds her arms around my neck. “And you’re mine.”

“Always, Bunny. Always.”

I crash my lips to hers and she opens on a sigh. Her honey taste hits me and I moan. I love her taste. I love her. Plain and simple.

I need to tell her how I feel but not yet. Not when we’re in bed and my cock is begging for release. I don’t want her to think my declaration is a result of sexual frenzy.

I explore her mouth with my tongue as my hands skim up and down her sides. She squirms beneath me and I end the kiss to smile down at her.

“Is there something you want?”

“Yep.”

“You gonna tell me what it is?”

She wraps her legs around my hips and rubs her core against my hard length. “You’re a smart man. I think you can figure it out for yourself.”

Damn. She’s cute.

She’s also causing my cock to weep in anticipation.
