“Fuck,” I gasped, my head falling back as he circled my clit with maddening precision.
“You taste like heaven,” he murmured against me, the vibration of his voice sending shivers up my spine.
I was trembling, my hands clutching at his shoulders, my body arching into his mouth. When he slid his tongue inside me, I cried out, my hips jerking as a fresh wave of pleasure tore through me.
“That’s it,” he growled, his hands gripping my hips tighter. “You are mine Avery, now give me what I need.”
He didn’t stop, his tongue thrusting deep, his lips and fingers driving me higher and higher until I was on the brink of losing control. He growled against me, the sound raw and possessive, and the vibration sent me over the edge.
I shattered, my body shaking as pleasure crashed over me in waves, as I called his name out again and again as it echoed in the quiet room.
Luke looked up at me. “I’m not letting you go, Avery,” he said. “Not now. Not ever.”
Thank God for that.
Chapter 18: Luke
Istayed on my knees for a moment longer, watching Avery recover. Her legs trembled, her chest rose and fell with quick, shallow breaths, and her lips parted as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words.
She was perfection. Messy, undone, and completely mine.
When I stood, her green eyes lifted to meet mine, wide and searching. There was no hiding from her now. She’d seen it, felt it. Every bit of the fire I’d been holding back for months was there.
“No more games,” I said. “No more pretending. You’re mine, Avery. Fuck the promotion. Fuck the deal. None of it matters without you.”
I slid my hands up her sides, the fabric of her dress bunching in my fists as I pushed it higher.
Her lips parted as I dragged the silky material over her head, leaving her bare before me. My eyes raked over her, taking in every inch of her soft, flawless skin, every curve.
“You’re so damn beautiful,” I murmured, my hands trailing down her sides to her hips.
I stepped back, my fingers working quickly to unbutton my shirt. Her eyes followed every movement, darkening as I shrugged it off and reached for the buckle of my belt. When I pushed my pants and boxers down, standing completely bare before her, I saw the way her throat worked as she swallowed, her cheeks flushing deeper.
“Eyes on me, Avery,” I commanded.
Her gaze snapped to mine, her lips parting slightly as I stepped closer, closing the distance between us. I took her hand, threading my fingers through hers as I tugged her gently toward the dining table.
She followed without protest, her breaths quickening as I guided her to the edge.
“Sit,” I said, my voice leaving no room for argument.
She obeyed, her hands gripping the edge of the table as I stepped between her legs, spreading her thighs to make room for me.
“You’re mine,” I said again, my hands trailing up her thighs, gripping her hips firmly. “Do you understand that?”
Her breath hitched, her eyes searching mine. “Yes,” she whispered.
“Say it,” I demanded, my voice a low growl.
“I’m yours,” she said. “And you belong to me now too.”
A surge of possessive heat roared through me, and I leaned down, capturing her mouth in a hard, demanding kiss. Without breaking the kiss, I lifted her, laying her back against the cool surface of the table. My hands slid over her body, brushing over her breasts, her stomach, until I reached her hips again.
She moaned into my mouth, her hands gripping my shoulders as I settled between her legs, the hard length of me pressing against her heat.
“You feel this?” I growled against her lips, rocking my hips against her. “This is all for you, Avery. Only you.”
Her head fell back, a soft cry escaping her as I thrust forward, sliding inside her in one slow, relentless movement. I didn’t give her time to adjust. I couldn’t.
