Page 88 of Love Triggered

“If you could stop eating each other’s faces, that’d be great. We have an asshole to take down,” Lya calls from the driver’s side of her Audi. Lainey consumes me so completely that I’d honestly forgotten everyone else was standing around watching us.

She pulls back, panting. “We’ll finish this tonight,” she whispers so only I can hear, and turns to get in the car with Lya.

I think my angel likes teasing me like that. For a while, I used to think I was the hornier one out of the two of us, but that little minx can’t keep her hands off me these days.

I adjust myself in my jeans before sliding into Rian’s G-Wagon beside Thiago.

“Let’s kill this bastard,” I announce.

The other three grunt their agreement, as we pull out behind Lya and head to the warehouse.

PushingLainey into the warehouse closet, I shut the door behind me. Everything is now in place, but I just need a few minutes with her, away from the others, before Sutton arrives.

“Greyson,” she gasps as I push her against the wall. My hand travels up her side to her neck, my palm wrapping around her throat and squeezing. She lets out a soft sigh, sucking her bottom lip into her mouth.

"Angel, you know what biting your lip does to me. Keep doing that and I’ll turn you around and pound into that tight pussy right here,” I threaten, meaning every word.

Her tongue peeks out, running over her lips. “Is that a promise?” She bats her eyelashes, giving me an innocent look.

“Always.” I run my hand from her throat to the back of her head, tangling in her hair. My other hand snakes around the small of her back and pulls her body flush against me. Her warmth ignites that fire inside of me, and makes me feel alive.

Of course, I would take her pussy any time, but even this—just being with her—is enough. This girl’s soft skin and loving eyes smash my darkness into a million pieces, like tiny shards of glass.

“You’re so beautiful, Lainey.”

She wraps her arms around my neck, pulling me down and smashing her warm lips against mine. Her kiss makes me forget about all the shit I’ve done.

All the bad things. All the blood. All the girls. All the betrayal.

God, I love this girl.

She pulls me harder against her, and I push her back against the wall. Deepening our kiss, I tease her tongue with mine. The taste of her mouth is just as addictive as her pussy. I run my hand down her shirt, over her breast, causing her to push it harder into my palm.

Lainey breaks away from me. “Greyson…” Her eyes swirl with lust and fear. Seeing the latter pulls me out of my haze.

“What’s wrong, angel?” I remove my hand from her breast, and cup her beautiful face.

“Greyson, I’m scared. I know I act tough on the outside, but it feels like I’m crumbling on the inside. It’s been eight months since I’ve seen Harvey, and I’m honestly terrified that seeing his face will bring back all the nightmares.”

Her confession both breaks my heart and makes me want to burn down the world.

"Angel… I’m here. I’m here, he won’t get to you. I’ll be right by your side when you do this.”

She closes her eyes. “What if seeing him erases all the progress I’ve made since I’ve been back in Craibridge? What if I’m not strong enough?” she whispers, fear filling her voice.

“Look at me.”

Her tear-filled eyes meet mine.

“We have a plan. It’ll work. You won’t have to see him before I knock him out and tie him up. I know what killing him will do to your soul, but you’re strong enough to do it. You’re the toughest person I’ve ever met. You survived nine years of hell and came back stronger. And if you do fall apart, I’ll be right by your side to help you piece yourself back together.”

Her tears spill down her flushed cheeks. I use my thumb to brush them away from her smooth skin.

“I love you so much, Greyson.”

“I love you too, angel.”
