I lay her down while still managing to stay inside her. I kiss the tattoo on her wrist. “This was never a reminder to forget me, was it?”
Rainey whispers my name as I position her with her hands pinned above her head. I suck on her stiff nipples. The heavy weight of her breasts presses into my face. On my toes, I thrust deep into her. Rainey’s legs locked around my waist, making it perfect to hit every spot.
“No, it was always to remember you,” she admits, then screams so loud it echoes on the walls.
I drive into her with an animal fierceness. My self-control is out the window. I need to hear my name on her puffy red lips. I need to feel her tight walls grip me so tight I can’t breathe, just to know she’s right here underneath me. She arches into me, meeting my strokes, and I lift my upper body to view my angelic woman. Gorgeous. So pure, just like how she was always supposed to be. Electric golden sparks ripple through us, climbing to the top.
“Fuck, baby.”
“Max,” she cries.
“Beg for it,” I remind her.
“Ahh, please, Max,” she whimpers.
“That’s it. Cry my name, moan it. You want them to hear who I belong to, then scream my name. Because everyone knows you’re my woman, and they dare not touch what is mine.” The way Rainey’s mind works, she needs reassurance to claim me. She needs a title. Rainey ruined me years ago. I’ve been hers since then.
She’s my beginning and my end.
With each possessive stroke, Rainey’s eyes roll back as she moans my name, her breath warm against my ear. Our bodies move in a synchronized rhythm, muscles tensing and releasing, until a wave of explosive ecstasy overtakes us, leaving us trembling and breathless. We’re both panting. She scoots some, and I slide over, our fingers intertwined. Tenderly, I bring her hand to my lips and drop a kiss. We are both still out of breath.
Fuck. Condoms. We’ve always gone bare, but she was on birth control then. “Baby.”
Rainey turns to face me.
“We didn’t use a condom. I know we’re both clean, but I know you don’t want to get pregnant now. Shit, I wouldn’t mind.” Having a life with Rainey doesn’t scare me. If nothing, it gives me pleasure to see her carry our child.
She graces me with a beautiful smile that makes me want to kiss her stupidly. “I’m on birth control.”
The space between my brows knitted. “How long have you been on it?”
She looks at my pinched brows. “My green-eyed handsome man looks so adorable when his mind wanders.” She kisses my nose. “I got on birth control when we stopped arguing and started getting along again.”
“We? You were the one fighting with me.”
“Oh, really? Weren’t you the one who said, ‘Would you remember me naked? Should I take off my clothes?’”She says it in a manly voice. “You got all possessive,” Rainey adds.
“Sunshine, you provoked me by trying to make me jealous. With Big Daddy and Freaky Fred. Good thing they don’t exist, or else I’d have to strangle the bastards.”
She laughs, wiping the sweat off my forehead. Her laugh disappears into a smile. “You wouldn’t mind if I got pregnant?”
“No.” I caress her cheek. “I meant what I said. I want you to tie me down. You’re my girl. If you accidentally get pregnant, itwould make me happy.” Fuck, just the thought makes me want to do it again until I put a baby in her. I know she’s not ready. She has plans for college when she decides to take my money.
“Maybe it’s best to wait a little longer. But how many kids would you want?”
The fact that she’s contemplating wanting a future with me has my heart fluttering.
A long strand of her hair sticks to her cheek. I tuck it behind her ear. “Six.”
Her eyes widen. “Jeez, you really want me popping kids out, don’t you? Enough kids to fill a boxing gym.”
“Yeah, sounds about right. I would like to own a gym when I retire from boxing down the years. It would be badass having my kids there with me.” The thought has me smiling to have something I’ve always wished for. Family—to grow a family and give them everything I didn’t have. Love. I might not be good at expressing my emotions, but I know when I have my own children, it will come naturally because when you love hard, it outweighs the darkness that anchors you. The woman beside me will always be my light.
Where there is light, there is love.
“Yeah, it would. We should get dressed. You have a meeting to attend.”
I grip her by the waist. “We’re not done. We still have a desk, which I need to bend you over on.” I’m still hard as a rock. Being away from Rainey kills me. The last thing I want to do is part ways with her for a damn meeting. This is the first time in four years we’ve had sex. All I want to do is stay in bed with her. “I’ll cancel the meeting.” I kiss her soft hand. “I’d rather take you home.”
