“Just wait.”
He wraps my legs around his waist and fucks me into the pile of blanket so hard I’m screaming through my fourth orgasm as he feeds me another round of his hot seed.
His cock throbs and pulsates with his release and when he falls over me, I wrap my arms around his neck, holding him to me. We lay there panting and breathing in each other's pleasure for long moments.
“I’m going to hold my seed inside you for a minute longer. I want me in there for as long as possible.”
I gasp into his neck and my heart grows with a love I don’t know what to do with. Images of me pregnant with the enemy’s baby makes me smile. And I hold that thought close to my heart like a secret I get to keep close to my heart for a few beats.
He rolls to the side and pulls my body into his, but I have other ideas. Naked and feeling like I’ve taken my life in my hands for once, I rise to my knees and smile down at him spread out on the blankets looking thirsty for more of me.
“I’m going to leave here wearing your scent come morning. When the Vultures catch up with me, they will know I’m marked by a Savage.”
I wish I knew how much loving the wrong man will come to cost me.

VENOM
Ismile up at her. There’s a fire in her that speaks to the one burning in my soul. Despite having a piece-of-shit father, she’s stayed true to her own heart. Or maybe because of him. I don’t know. But I’m witnessing a wintry wild flower growing among the frozen weeds of my dark world and I can’t handle the thought of someone hurting her petals.
I take her hand and pull her back to rest on my chest and she comes willingly with beautiful kiss-swollen lips spread into a sweet smile.
“Sleep now, snow angel. Tomorrow will be here soon enough. Let’s not think about it for now.”
I take her softness into my arms and hold her to me, stroking her hair as she drifts to sleep. Me. A killer. And here I am gently soothing a delicate ice petal into her dreams. The amount of blood I have on my hands will never change, but if I’m lucky, I’ll never have to show her that ugly side of me. It would turn her against me. I know it. No woman wants a man like me. I lean down and place a gentle kiss to the top of her head. But it’s too late. I have her and I am not letting her go. Her father can comefor her, but all he will get is a gun to his head. He should have protected her. Instead, he did something that sent her running off in the middle of the night in this God forsaken storm.
He’ll pay for risking her life soon enough. I’ve been on my own for a long time now. No family to call home to or to care for. That was never in my cards. The military became my family and taught me how to care for myself and fight for those who can’t protect themselves. And then I took it one step further and learned how to bring lives back from the brink of death.
Now, the Savages are my family and…
I pull a blanket over us and fill my heart with the sound of Willow sighing heavily in her sleep. Now she’s my family. There’s no way she’s leaving this cabin tomorrow, and it’s going to be fun telling her so when the sun comes up.
For now, I take comfort in knowing I’m her protector and she will always have me.
Honestly, I’m not close to God at the moment, but we have had a lot of conversations in the past. I’ve begged for some souls to be saved, and on the flip side I’ve sent a few to their maker. I’m not entirely sure where I stand with Him right now, but he can’t be too mad at me.
I wrap my arms around Willow and settle her over my chest. Her hand rests on my heart and the energy she feeds into me is made of pure love and light.
Thank you, I send up just in case this is a gift from above.I’ll treasure her as the perfect snow angel she is.
He and I know the pain I’ve gone through in losing someone I loved with all my heart. I was young and so was she. Neverfall for someone on your team is the number one rule back in bootcamp. But I did it anyway. She took a live round to the chest in training. It was a freak accident that shouldn’t have happened, but there was nothing I could do to save her.
Tonight I was given a second chance to love again. It’s a foreign feeling I don’t know what to do with, but I’m not letting it go.
Out here on the back acres, it’s so quiet you can hear your own heartbeat lie to you. Mine right now says I can't keep the angel I found in the snow, but I know the lie for what it is. I have no interest in giving back the gift I found.
The wind finally chokes out and the night settles. Branches scrap across the roof here and there and the fire crackles. In another hour I’ll have to move to add more logs, but not yet.
Half of my soul left my body when I found Willow in the snow half dead. The other half I just gave to her and I have zero regrets.
That means something to me.
And now I’m lost in fucking love when i swore three hours ago I would never love another woman again. I never wanted to feel the pain of loss like that and now I would take every ounce of pain in the world if it means keeping her.
I huff and scrub a hand down my face. Fuck. Listen to me wax on like I’m some damn poet who invented love or some shit.
I don’t know how long we lay like this but when I wake, Willow is gone.
