“Good.” I dug my nails into his shoulders and moaned. “Stop talking and do it.”
“Jaci, if you don’t shut up and let me fuck you, your ass is going to glow bright red.”
“Either way you screw my brains out, so it shouldn’t matter.”
A growl rumbled deep in his throat. “God, Jaci. Don’t ever change.”
He tilted away from me, keeping my thighs locked against him. His fingers found the crotch of my panties and then ripped them from my body.
The next thing I heard was the sound of his zipper echoing in the air and his hard cock pressing into my sopping cleft.
I arched against him at the exquisite feel of his thick, hard girth spreading my tight core.
“That bastard will never hurt you again. I will kill Decker before he gets close to you one more time.”
I rotated my hips with his thrusts. “He doesn’t have any power over me. He is a weak man with no future. Don’t let him take any piece of what we had.”
“Have,” he countered.
I wanted to agree, to say we’d find a solution, but I’d be lying. There was no way to have what we needed from each other and the goal we were both striving to achieve.
“No. There has always been truth between us no matter how much it hurt. I won’t change it.”
He closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against mine. “Jaci, I don’t know how I’m going to do this without you.”
He pulled out and slammed back in. I cried out in a pleasure-pain only he could ever make addictive. My breasts ached, and my nipples beaded to sharp peaks, pushing against the coarse fabric of my gown.
“You can do this like you’ve done everything—on your terms. You don’t need me.”
He gripped my hands and then captured them above my head. His face grew into hard lines as it had been when he was confronting Grey.
“I would give up everything if I knew I’d have you, but I know it won’t ever happen.”
I arched toward him and whispered against his lips, “Stop, Veer. Right now, it is only us. This is all I can give you. If things were different…” I trailed off.
Tears burned the back of my eyes. We should never have come up here. I knew better, and I’d done it anyway.
“Things will never be different. You love your career more than me. Have always loved it more than me. I thought I could handle it. But I was wrong.”
My heart ripped at the pain in his words.
He pulled out to the hilt and slammed balls-deep. “I need a woman who will love me enough to compromise, to make my dreams hers as I’d make her dreams mine.”
“Veer, I’m begging you. Stop.”
“Fine. I won’t tell you what I wish. Instead I’ll fuck you so hard that years from now you’ll remember what you cast aside.”
He set a pace that had me helpless against the need driving him. His hold on my wrists intensified as my core quickened to a desperate race for release.
“Come. Come for me. One last time.”
My pussy spasmed and detonated around his pistoning cock. Each wave of ecstasy fed another until all that was left was the decadent pleasure he was bringing my body. I clenched my eyes tight and pressed my head against the wall.
“Your turn.” I contracted my internal muscles and rolled my hips.
He smacked the side of my ass, and he came with hard, deep groans against my neck.
After a few minutes, my heartbeat calmed, and I kissed the side of his face. “We need to get back.”
