The way Merrick says the wordhurt, I know he feels it deep inside of his soul. Gently sliding my thumb along his eyelid, I let out a heavy sigh before I lean forward and touch my lips to the same place before I shift backward enough to see his gorgeous face.

“I’m here for you, Merrick. Tell me everything so I can help you.”

Merrick opens his eyes. Whatever vulnerability he’d shown me is now gone. “You can help me by staying alive, by doing what I say when and how I say it. Take no chances. And never get that close to Ravet again.”

Pressing my lips together, I roll them a few times, then try to think of how to respond to that. Especially since I almost didn’t stay alive today by my own hands.

I’m not sure if I would have been able to actually jump, but it was at the forefront of my mind, and I would have rather been dead than taken by Malcolm. I have a feeling that my gut was right on that, too, judging by Merrick’s reaction.

“I never want to see him again, Merrick. I don’t know what he wanted from me, but that man is evil.”

Merrick lifts his hand, tangling his fingers in the back of my hair before he tugs my head back. I can feel my neck stretch, but then his lips are on the center of my throat before his tongue snakes out, and he tastes me.

With a moan, my eyes slide closed, I know what’s coming—deliciousness.

Chapter Twenty-Six

MERRICK

Sex is not the answer.I know that. But I also don’t give a fuck, because it’smyanswer. My lips trail down Colette’s throat, tasting her inch by inch. Sliding my hand up her thigh, I tug down the boxer briefs she’s wearing—myboxer briefs. She shimmies out of them before she spreads her thighs.

Fuck.

My hand finds its way between her spread thighs while my lips focus on the hollow of her throat. I glide my fingers through her folds and feel her. She’s warm and wet. Sucking on the hollow of her throat, I swirl my tongue, then suck again.

I curl my fingers inside of her to feel her warmth. Colette is fucking beautiful in every way imaginable. Feeling her heat, the wetness, it makes me want nothing more than to be inside of her right this second.

My thumb presses against her clit, and I draw firm circles there as I continue to make come-hither motions inside of her. My lips make their way back up to hers, and I slide my tongue inside of her mouth, tasting her.

Colette’s hips lift, her pussy inviting me in for more. I welcome that invitation, loving the way she feels. When she moans, I swallow the sound, taking it inside of me. I’m not sure how much longer I can hold off. My dick aches to be inside of her.

I know how she feels, and I want it—now.

She lifts her hips again as she tries to pull her mouth from mine. I tug her head back just slightly before I look into her eyes.

“Please, Merrick,” she breathes.

I chuckle, my gaze staying on hers. She’s panting, and there is a sheen of sweat along her forehead. She looks absolutely gorgeous. But I’m not going to be inside of her before she comes.

When I slip my fingers from between her legs, she lets out a moan and then a sigh. It almost sounds as if it is one of relief. But I don’t shift myself up her body. Instead, I move down.

Down.

Down.

Down.

Until my face is between her perfect fucking legs. Flattening my tongue, I taste all of her before I suck on her clit. Colette throws her legs over my shoulders, her fingers finding purchase in my hair before she tightens them around the strands.

I don’t have to do much. She is already close, and without any urging, she begins to lift her hips, riding my tongue. I grip her hips, my fingers no doubt creating purple marks on her skin.

“Oh god,” she moans.

Swirling her clit with my tongue, I begin to flick her nub over and over, matching the rhythm her hips set as she bucks against my mouth. She’s close. Her whimpers, her cries—her pussy. I can feel and taste it, and I can’t wait for her to completely fall apart against me.

And she does.

Seconds later, she whispers my name, and then it happens. Closing my eyes, I take her in and drink her up all at the same time. Her body twitches against my mouth, her hips frozen, but I don’t stop. I’m on a mission to take every fucking drop of her and swallow it down—consuming her.
