Page 51 of Keeping Her Under
Every self-loathing thought.
She sees them all.
“I love you, Dr. Rath Slader.” As her words echo inside of me, her soul speaking to mine, more tears roll down my cheeks. There is no holding them back in the presence of such heart-wrenching beauty, so I do not even try.
Leaning down to kiss her lips, I whisper those words back to her. I trace them into the soft skin of pink. “I love you, Summer Wintry.” Soon to be Mrs. Slader.
Cupping her cheek, I slip my tongue inside her. I swirl it around hers and suck it into my mouth.
“Fuuuuck.” The groan that’s pulled from me is unstoppable. An explosion. An earthquake. A storm of thunder over the crashing sea. It’s the touch of a god on mortal skin.
Marking me.
Blessing me.
Yet making me feel so goddamn unworthy.
Desperate to prove myself to her, I lift my head to look into her closed eyes. “Lance will never hurt you again,” I vow. “My hands will serve and protect you forever.” Shifting my weight onto one arm as I stretch out beside her, I run my free hand along her inner thigh and squeeze her supple flesh.
“I’ll find your mom soon and make her pay for abandoning you.” It’s only a matter of time before I have that bitch in my sights as I gave Asher her number over dinner.
I kiss Summer’s cheek. “I will devote my life to serving you.” I nibble on her ear. “I will never leave you.”
My lips brush her chin, right above her cervical collar. “I will never give up on you.” Even if the surgery wasn’t fully successful and she’s paralyzed for life. “I will never stop loving you.” In sickness and in health. In illness and disease.
My throat thickening, I kiss her lips again. Softly. Reverently. “I will become stronger for you,” I rasp. “I will learn to face my own demons so I can help you with yours.”
That promise chokes me. My pulse beats rapidly at the idea of facing my memories head-on, but I can’t help my girl if I’m broken myself. She needs me to be strong enough to do this.
So I will.
Because she deserves to have someone who will fight the Devil for her.
Who is strong enough to come out the other side on their own rather than relying on their cousin to save them.
Wetting my lips, I start to kiss my way down her body. “If you want anything, I will buy it. And if it doesn’t exist, I will make it. You will never want for anything ever again.”
Reaching her breasts, I lick them and suck them, taking care not to knock any of the electrodes or wires. “I’ll take you around the world. Show you every beauty it has to offer.” The Uyuni Salt Flat in Bolivia. Iguazú Falls, crossing Brazil and Argentina. The nearly two thousand islands of Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. Hawaii. Scotland. Pamukkale, Turkey... A House of Mirrors with her in the center.
Desperate to see her fully, I’m almost tempted to turn on the light, but I calm myself with thoughts of being able to see her soon – in my home. With all the lights on. And a mirror installed above the bed and on every wall…
My cock hardening, I reach down to undo my pants, but my balls are so goddamn blue that setting it free does little to release the pressure. My body humming with an orgasm already clawing at my insides, I cup Summer’s pussy and lean my mouth back down to her tits.
Keeping my eyes on her face, I lick and nip and tease. Her buds grow erect under my caresses, and I swirl my tongue around one. I groan as I suck it into my mouth. Rubbing my palm over her curls, I slip two fingers between her lips. I don’t go in. I just feather them up and down.
Her thick thighs grow damp beneath my tips.
Her nipples grow hard and puckered.
My cock leaking precum, I try not to focus on how turned on I am by seeing her come undone. Even when she’s in a coma, her body sings for me, and I know I’m going to make her come tonight.
I will not stop until I do.
However long that takes.
An hour or so later, I’m panting hard. My cock is fucking painful. My balls are so goddamn tight. My body is taut and aching, and still she has not come.
Kissing my way down her body, I nestle my head between her thighs. My cock pulses against the bed, and the urge to rub myself against her leg as I eat her out is almost too tempting to resist.
