Page 173 of A Love Like Venom

Over the past couple of days I have been warming her up but the cold brush is still there. To be completely honest I admire her for it. She’s loyal to Alice. She cares about her. All she wants is for her to be treated right and for her to be happy.

Having Alice with that special angelic smile on her face that brightens every dark corner of my soul is one I hope she wears for the rest of her life.

And I’ll be the man who puts it there.

And I’ll be the man to make sure it stays.

Waking up next to her every morning and holding her in my arms each night has given me a happiness that one can only dream of.

A swift kick to the back of my legs has me falling flat on my back. Then a pair of deliciously long legs straddle my hips as one hand wraps around my throat applying pressure to my airway.

“You’re distracted,” Alice comments. Her grip on my throat has now loosened and I can breathe.

I have been training her in self defense. Everyday we come in the gym for two hours and train. I teach her how to get out of scenarios and how to fight back if need be. She was hesitant at first. The idea of hitting me holding her back. It was after I had assured her that learning this will help save hers and possible other’s lives she went full throttle.

And she’s a natural. What people take weeks to learn and memorize she has it down right after I’ve shown her.

I’ve even begun to train her with weapons. She’s fairly decent with a gun but she’s rather impressive with a knife. I also encouraged her to bring that knife into action while we are fighting. She’s managed to nick me twice and that is a feat that shouldn’t be treated lightly. Guilt settled in on her even when I fucked her as a reward after.

Alice may be a natural born fighter but she will never feel good about using her fists.

Deep down she’s still a good person. One who doesn’t relish in the pain of others. One who sees kindness as a strength. That’s the girl I fell in love with.

Unlike me who has no problem killing a man. Not when that man is a monster. Not when they don’t deserve to breathe. That’s the boy she fell in love with.

My hands come to grip her waist. My fingers grasping her soft skin. “I’m not distracted,” I deny.

She laughs disbelievingly. “If you weren’t I wouldn’t have been able to get you beneath me.”

With a devilish smirk and a wink I reply, “You have me beneath you with my undivided attention almost daily.”

Her cheeks turn crimson, enhancing the appearance of her adorable freckles. The lovely shade travels down her neck and spreads across her chest.

I love how I can cause such a reaction from her. How even after everything we have shared and done she still flushes innocently.

My girl has turned insatiable. Not that you will ever hear me complaining.

With her insatiable hunger for my body she has become quite curious and adventurous. And I’m all to happy to oblige.

She lays her hand affectionately on my chest. Removing one of my hands from her waist I place it over hers.

“Now you’re deflecting,” she points out but I don’t fail to notice how her voice has grown husky.

“Am I?” I challenge her. Then I raise my hips and she lets out a small hiss. Her honey brown eyes are glazed with lust. The flush on her skin has now spread to the top of her breasts.

I have the sudden urge to strip her bare and taste every inch of her flushed skin.

Her eyes roll to the back of her head as I thrust upwards again. When she opens them lust is still there but so is determination. Narrowing her eyes she says, “Youaretrying to distract me.”

“You would know if I was trying to distract you, angel.”

“So what is it that you are doing?”

With my infamous smirk and a mischievous glint in my eyes I grip her hip harder and flip her underneath of me. Her legs wrap around my waist instinctively. She stares up at me wide eyed.

I bring my head down to where my lips are against her ear. I can hear the soft intake of breath as I lower my hips. My cock that is painfully hard rests against her already wet pussy.

My lips brush against her ear as I answer, my voice deep and throaty, “I’m indulging in you, Alice Hall. Now and forever.”I kiss her earlobe softly before pulling away. She shudders beneath me. Her body heating with desire against mine.
