She gave me another shy smile.

I wasn’t going to waste any more time talking. She’d just given herself to me and I was never giving her back. She was mine, now and forever.

CHAPTER 28

Billie

Everything had been leading up to this. I knew it, deep in my heart, but I’d tried to fight it. Tried to keep him at a distance. I knew what he meant, when he said he’d known since the first time he laid eyes on me, because it was the same for me. As soon as he’d turned, hands up, I’d started falling in love with him. Every time he took care of me, of my animals, of those around him I fell a little harder.

Seeing him flirting with the secretary had opened my eyes to what my heart already knew. I’d given it to him already. And it’d scared me. I didn’t know if I could be in a relationship with a man like him. One who drew in everyone around him. Not after what Will had put me through.

But Dani was right when she told me that Toxic wasn’t Will. There were so many differences between them. Will would have never put himself in danger to try to help me save my ranch. He wouldn’t have nursed me back to health. He wouldn’t havegiven up a day doing whatever he wanted in order to let a friend’s children come and ride horses. The way he was with those kids, with his family, that was who Toxic was.

There would be things to figure out. I doubted I was going to be able to magically just become a person who trusted others with that vulnerable side of myself, but I wanted to try. For him. He’d just opened up to me in a way no one ever had before. If he was willing to do that, I could try as well, and give him the benefit of the doubt. And give us both what we wanted.

His kiss wiped every thought out of my head.

It started soft and tentative as though he wasn’t sure what I was willing to give, and then it was like the kiss broke the floodgates of everything I’d been holding back. We came together in a frantic frenzy. Clothes were flying off and when I found myself pressed against the bed inside my room, I thought my heart was going to pound its way right out of my chest. I wasn’t even sure how we’d gotten inside my bedroom. He must have carried me, but all I could remember was that kiss.

The first time he’d kissed me it was as though the universe had aligned perfectly for me and my world had clicked into place. I’d spent every day since then trying to escape my feelings, to deny them. Now that I was being honest with myself I was able to fully enjoy his touch. There was so much raw need and heat between us and I wasn’t even embarrassed as I begged him to fuck me.

My whole world became about how it felt as he moved over me, his large hands spreading my thighs and stroking up over my sensitive skin. I didn’t know what had happened to my jeans, or my panties, all I knew was that I was spread out before him. The only thing that had come off him were his cut and t-shirt.

I narrowed my eyes on his jeans. It wasn’t fair that I was naked while he was still so...dressed. I opened my mouth to ask him to take them off when he buried his face between mythighs. No hesitation, no messing around, Toxic just dove in. I let out a squeak of surprise that turned into a moan as his tongue brushed over my clit. I was already wet, already aroused from everything that had been said before, then after seeing him hovering above me…my God, I was ready.

My hips jerked as he teased my clit. He slid his arms up so his hands were pressing down on my hips to hold me in place as his tongue lapped at my core. He was merciless and he kept at it even though my thighs tried to clench and push him away. He was building something inside me that I wasn’t sure I’d survive once it was released. My fingers buried in his hair and my thighs trembled with the strain of staying still as his tongue plunged inside me, thrusting deep.

“Oh, my God! Toxic, don’t stop. Don’t…” I cried out as the tension finally snapped, his name echoing through my small room and into the quiet house. I shivered as he continued to eat me out. He only lifted his head when my thighs dropped to the side, spent and weak.

I reached for him, grabbing onto his arms as he pushed off the floor and started crawling up my body. “Feel better?”

I blushed as he kissed his way up over my belly then ribs. “Yeah.”

“Did you get exactly what you wanted?” he teased.

“What do you mean?” I asked, biting back a groan as his lips closed over my nipple. My body was still tingling from the orgasm, but that didn’t mean I wanted him to stop. I never wanted him to stop.

“You started that fight on purpose,” he said, aligning his body with mine.

“I did not,” I denied. He looked down at me, amusement written all over his face.

“You were shit testing me, Lightning,” he said with a chuckle. “Trying to see if you could push me into taking this out of yourhands so you could have what you wanted, but were too afraid to ask for.”

I opened my mouth to deny it, but then paused. Was that what I did?

He nipped the lobe of my ear, then said in that deep sexy voice, “Next time you can just ask me to fuck you. Better yet,” he said while I sat there in shock and a bit of delight, “tell me to.”

He kissed me again and I opened for him. I wasn’t holding back anymore. I wanted everything from him. My nails scraped over the smooth skin of his back. His hand gripped my hair as he kissed me harder.

I groaned as he slid his hand down my side and pulled my leg up and over his hip. He didn’t even have his pants off yet. The material rubbed over my skin, his denim rubbing at the tender flesh between my thighs. His cock was hard beneath the material.

“Toxic,” I begged. I was aching for him and he still had his jeans on.

“Yeah, Lightning,” he grunted as he rolled his hips into me.

“Fuck me...please.”

He paused.
