“You got it, boss.” The regret in Axe’s voice was evident. Before I could step away from the SUV, he took in a lung full of air. “I’m sorry I went against your instructions.”
“Don’t be so hard on yourself. Women can be very persuasive,” I said, hearing Axe let out a sigh of relief. Tapping my hand twice against the roof of the SUV, I headed back to my car.
When I got back to my car, I didn’t need to look toward the passenger door to know that Reyna’s eyes were on me as I rounded the trunk. I felt her fury burning through the glass and metal. If anything, I should have been angry. But instead, it amused me, especially when she found my hand wrapped around her arm instead of Axe’s. Her actions today were far from humorous. If anything ever happened to her, how I would be able to survive? From the moment I met her, she pulled me into her world—blissful heaven—a place I would never give up.
Opening the door, I slid into the driver’s seat and secured my seatbelt before pushing the start button. The inside of the car was filled with her scent, almost masking the smell of the leather. Smiling to myself, I shifted the car into reverse and backed out of the parking spot.
As I looked over my shoulder to get a better view as I backed up, I noticed Reyna was either pissed off or in her own little world. Her head faced the window, and I tried to imagine what I had put her through these past couple of days. She had every right to know the truth about Crosby McCall and Gwen. Somehow, I had to find a way to tell her everything I knew. It would be better if she heard it from me instead of by accident from someone else.
When I placed my hand over hers, she turned her head away from the window but didn’t meet my eyes. “I can only imagine how hard these past couple of days have been for you. You need to trust me when I tell you that whatever Gwen and I had is gone. You are my life now. No one, not even Gwen, is going to change that.”
“I want to believe you, but not even you can be certain of that.” Tears filled her eyes, and it tore at my gut to know her lack of faith in me. How could I prove to her it was the truth?

Pulling up to the Four Seasons, a valet stepped up to the car and reached for the passenger door. When he pulled open the door, Reyna stared at him, refusing to move. “Davian, why are we here? Isn’t Gwen staying here?”
Looking at the hotel valet, who was looking inside the car with a confused expression, I leaned over the console and said, “Can you give us a minute?” I waited for him to close the door before I continued. “Yes, Gwen is staying here, but I promise you will never run into her. I want you close to me. I’ve missed you so much and can’t stand being away from you one more night.”
I was glad to see that what I said somehow brought her comfort. She nodded her head with a visible smile. As soon as I opened my door, the valet was back, pulling open the passenger door to assisting Reyna out of the car. Before he had the passenger door closed, I handed him my key fob along with a fifty-dollar bill.
Once we were inside the hotel, reality sunk in. It was ironic; the woman I once shared a life with and the woman I wanted to share my life with would be in the same hotel with no chance of ever meeting. Somehow, I had to prove to Reyna that she was my life, and my life would mean nothing without her. I didn’t care how long it took. In the end, she would know exactly how much I loved her.
When we entered the Presidential Suite, every ounce of willpower I had left went out the window. As soon as the door clicked shut, I pulled Reyna into my arms and my mouth captured her sweet lips. Kissing her in the park wasn't near long enough. A man had needs, and right now, my need was to be deep inside Reyna’s warmth.
Placing my forehead against hers, I caressed her cheek with the back of my hand. “God, I’ve missed you so much.”
“I’ve missed you too.” Her voice was soft, and when her beautiful brown eyes met mine, I realized what an ass I had been.
Lifting her chin, I pressed my mouth over hers and captured her soft lips. The way she accepted me as I pulled her close gave me a bit of hope that she would give her heart to me. Parting her lips with my tongue, she allowed me inside. Gliding her hands up my chest and then around my shoulders, her soft moans escaped between us as I deepened the kiss. A surge of arousal pulsed through my body to the tip of my cock. Bending my knees slightly, I swooped Reyna up into my arms and carried her toward the king-sized bed.
“God, you’re beautiful,” I murmured as I gently lowered her onto the bed.
When I stared down at her, her brown locks fanned out around her head like a halo—a brilliant contrast to the light gray comforter. Holding her wrists with one hand, I worked the other beneath her shirt. Her skin was so soft under my fingertips, and if I wasn’t hard before, I was rock hard now. I worked the clasp to her bra until her breasts fell free. Her breasts were perfect, and I had free rein to do as I wished to her taut nipples. Enveloping my mouth around the hard bud, I swirled my tongue around her areola. Reyna’s back rose off the bed to allow me to take more of her in my mouth.
Her womanly scent filled my senses the more I continued to worship one and then the other nipple to a hard peak. “God, how I’ve missed your scent.”
Moving my mouth down her body, I kissed her stomach and slipped my hand beneath the waistband of her leggings. Unable to pull them past her perfect ass, I patted her leg and said, “Lift your hips, princess.”
Reyna moved her hips upward off the bed, which allowed me to lower them with ease. As I worked her leggings down her legs, Reyna toed off her shoes so I could take them completely off. Her panties were pretty pink, just like her bra. A matching set. How I so loved the femininity of a woman. Thinking I might want to see her wear this set again. I pulled them down her gorgeous legs and placed them with her discarded clothes.
Grazing the outer lips of her sex with my fingertips, I slid a finger inside her and pumped it in and out in a slow tease. Her hips moved against my fingers as I add another finger. My knuckles were met with resistance as I moved them in and out of her, fast and unrelenting. Pushing to my haunches, I wrapped my free hand around her full breast and kneaded the soft flesh between my fingers. “Davian,” she moaned.
Reyna’s back arched, and I knew she was close to coming completely undone. Using her arousal, I spread her juices across her clit and began massaging her hard nub. I added pressure with my thumb while using firm, steady strokes. Adjusting my position, I felt my cock throb as I forced myself between her legs. When I leaned in to kiss her, her hips bucked forward against me. My cock was so hard, I thought for sure I would be purchasing a new pair of trousers. I hovered over Reyna’s lips, using my arms to hold me off of her delicate body. “Don’t ever run from me, princess.”
Before she could argue, which I knew she would, my lips were on hers. I caught her whimpers as I took over the kiss my exploring every inch of her mouth. With the silky feel of her warmth on my lips, I reached between our bodies and worked my belt loose. I didn’t want to leave her warmth, but if I wanted to be balls-deep inside her, I had no choice. Surrendering to my struggle of removing my clothes, I pushed from the bed and quickly got undressed.
Positioning my body between her legs, I claimed her mouth before pushing deep inside her. Reyna snaked her hands underneath my button-down shirt and pulled me closer to her as I continued to pump inside her. The last thing I wanted was to smother her delicate frame. Using one arm to keep my body above hers, I wrapped the other around her waist. She met me thrust for thrust at a slow rhythmic pace.
When she locked her legs around my waist, I lifted her from the bed, so she was sitting, face to face, on me. This position allowed me to be deeper inside her. Right now, here was where she belonged. No woman could ever make my life more complete than Reyna. I took hold of her hips, guiding her up and down my cock. With her hands pressed against my chest for support, I felt her walls tighten around me, milking every last drop of arousal from my body. “You feel so fucking good, princess.”
Her walls compressed around my thickness and I felt the second release. I reached between us, and with light circular motions against her clit, Reyna was met with her own release. Adjusting our position, breathlessly, I stared down at this beautiful woman in wonderment. Euphoria, unlike nothing I had ever experienced, washed over me. “Please, don’t ever leave me.”

Reyna
Davian knew exactly what he was doing as he continually worshipped my body. Twelve hours later, I still felt the aftereffect of his ministrations. Never had I been so thoroughly fucked. Granted, it had been a long time coming. Every time I moved, I was reminded just how long it had been. Even stretching was a chore. Moving to my side of the bed, since Davian was no longer lying beside me, I noticed two pain relievers along with a glass of water on the nightstand. Picking up the two small pills, I plopped them in my mouth and washed them down with water.
