A sniff sounds above me. My eyes snap up.
Crying, my girl is crying.
The heel of her hand digs into my sternum. “Why couldn’t you just tell me? I’ve been beating myself up all day thinking some mystery man broke in last night and how dangerous it could have been . . .”
Shelby blinks, causing a few tears to break free.
Guilt settles thick in my chest. I waited too long to tell her. Then something else settles with it.
Fear.
She can’t leave. I won’t allow it. Pain spears my chest at the thought of losing her.
Pushing my back off the headboard, I surge to my knees and drop her to the bed. Splayed out in front of me, Shelby looks up, bewildered.
“I told you, that conversation is over.”
Her face softens, but tears continue to escape.
“Don’t look at me like that. Like you don’t know me,” I answer her unspoken question.
I don’t say anything else. Fisting my wet cock, I eye the cum leaking out of her. Smirking, I shove my cock back inside her. My hiss and her groan sound out.
She needs a reason to stay . . . so I’ll give her one.
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
Leonard
A deep part of my soul thrills as I walk out of the en suite behind Shelby. She has a slight limp in her walk.
My girl’s sore.
I don’t even try to hide the satisfaction I feel. After tonight, there will be no doubt about who she belongs to.
The anxiety and doubt have been fucked right out of her.
Several rounds of sex and eight orgasms seemed to have done the trick. Glancing down at my stirring arousal, I know we’re going for double numbers.
Shelby practically falls into bed.
Lying on her stomach with her legs slightly spread is just too much temptation. Instead of pulling the blanket over her naked body, I climb onto the bed with her.
Feeling me close, Shelby looks over her shoulder and opens her eyes.
“I still want you,” I admit, kissing her lips.
“How?”
My smile at her mumbled question turns into a chuckle when my fingers probe between her legs, finding her wet and ready.
“I’m too tired to move.”
“I know.” I kiss her cheek. “Go to sleep.”
Shelby frowns.
“It won’t be the first time that I’ve fucked you while you’re asleep.”
