Page 238 of A Love Like Venom

He seems transfixed by the sight because he can’t take his eyes off it. Then with his finger he collects his come and pushes it back inside me. I release a deep moan from the back of my throat. “This stays where it belongs, inside you.”

This possessive caveman side of Reed I secretly love. And I love the fact that I am the only person who brings it out of him.

Seeing that I am physically spent he flips me on my back. I stretch out on the bed still feeling the afterglow of my orgasms. I think my legs are still trembling from it.

Reed lays down besides me and then positions me half on top of him. My arm draped over his stomach as my head rests on his chest. One of my legs is thrown over both of his. Both of his arms are wrapped comfortably around me. There is no where else in the world I would rather be.

I snuggle further into him. No space lost between us.

“Have I told you how much I loved you today?” Reed asks softly. I shake my head. He presses a chaste kiss to the top of my head. His arms tighten around me. “I love you so much that it fucking hurts, Alice. I love you with every fiber in my being. My soul is yours. My heart is yours. The air I breathe is because of you.” My heart begins to beat wildly in my chest. Tears, the happy kind, prickle my eyes. “I don’t exist without you. You’re everything.”

Tilting my head back I find him already looking down at me. When our eyes meet, I see a love so fierce staring right back at me.

“You’re everything to me, too.”

His eyes go soft. Then a shy smile, the rarest one of his appears on his lips. “I love you.”

“And I love you.”

We then seal it with a kiss.

And I know this love that we have will last. Because like he said to me before, our love is enough. And it is. It’s enough to weather every storm. Conquer each obstacle and rise above all else.

We have each other and in the end that’s all we need.

Our love has given us peace, but it has also set us free.

Epilogue – Snake

“Reed,” she giggles my name breathlessly. The sound I never will tire of hearing.

There is a beautiful smile on her face and the fact that I am responsible for it makes me a happy man. I’ll make sure she smiles everyday for the rest of her life.

Angels are too pretty to ever be sad.

And I refuse to see another tear fall from those honey brown eyes ever again. Unless it’s choking on my cock. That’s a different story.

“Come on,” I encourage her. “You can do it.”

She looks at me over her shoulder and I can see the hesitancy in her eyes. “It’s too big.”

Shaking my head, I laugh at her. “You’re used to big things, angel.”

Her cheeks turn fives shades of red and the lovely shade travels down her neck. I love how I can still make her blush after we have bared everything to one another.

“Reed.” My name is now a warning but we both know it’s one I won’t heed.

“And if you ask me, you know how to ride just fine,” I whisper in her ear, teasing her and wanting her skin to flush more. It does and it brings an even bigger smile to my face.

She quirks a brow and her voice is breathy as she questions back, “Just fine?”

My eyes flick down to her lips where her tongue peeks out and takes a swipe at her bottom lip.

I groan internally, feeling myself harden in my jeans knowing all the wickedly delicious things she does with that tongue.

“Angel, I thought you wanted to ride?” My voice comes out gruff.

Her eyes twinkle mischievously, and she presses her ass against my hard cock.
