Page 73 of Devotion: Isn't What It Seems (Love Isn't What It Seems 1)

“I want to fuck you hard,” he groaned as he stared into my eyes, like he was seeking permission.

“Yes,” my voice came as a whisper.

The only sound in the room was my heavy breathing in anticipation of what was coming.

“Open your legs.” His voice was a hard command.

I did so right away, and no sooner than I was in position, I could feel him thrust forcefully into me with his hard cock.

“Ahhhh,” my voice came out in a moan. Lachlan’s thrusts were hard and deep. He gripped my hips and I felt every inch of him inside me, filling me. I wanted all of him, everything he had to give.

“You are mine!” His voice was a grunt.

“Yes!” My moans came out in screams.

I arched my back as he continued to thrust deeper and faster into me. I was so close, and my body was intune to his. My eyelids shut, relishing the sensation of him inside me.

“Look at me.” Lachlan’s voice was a soft command.

My eyes fluttered open, my eyelids heavy. “I want you to look at me as you orgasm!”

I licked my lips as I locked eyes with him, my heart beating wild. He consumed every heartbeat, every breath, and every thought.

“Fuck, Eve,” he groaned, his voice now a rumble. “Come for me.”

His fingers went for my clit and his hard touch made pleasure burst through me, my body trembling. I came for him hard and he saw me through the last shiver. My body quivered and my pussy contracted around his cock, milking him for all he had.

Lachlan wrapped his arms around me while his cock continued to twitch inside me. Both of our breathing labored. He showered my neck with kisses and my body responded in shivers.

“My heart,” he whispered into my ear.

I turned my face to him, and nuzzled it into his neck where I kissed him gently. I could feel my heart filling with warmth for him.

The warmth from a hard male chest against my back woke me up as the morning sun shone through the window. I shifted to glance at Lachlan, his arms strong and possessively wrapped around my waist. I felt at home with him. I wouldn’t care where I was as long as I was with him. His scent enveloped me and I thought back to last night. We were like fire and ice. With each caress against my flesh, he had seared me and I melted for him. I had never felt like that before.

All my despair and loneliness of the past year was slowly dissipating. I was slowly letting go of the pain from losing my baby boy and my husband’s betrayal. My baby would always be with me and that wound would never heal, but for the first time, I felt I could live with it. And my husband’s betrayal wasn’t eating at me. It was my past and Lachlan was my future.

I shifted gently, careful not to wake him up. I got out of bed and tiptoed to the separate room where he said bathrooms and closet with all our clothes would be. I quickly washed my face, brushed my teeth and I dug through my clothes in search of a jogging outfit with a pair of tennis shoes.

Ten minutes later, I was strolling through an unfamiliar castle, admiring history decorating its hallways and walls. I couldn’t believe he owned something so old and beautiful. It was likeDownton Abbeylive.

As I opened the castle door, it creaked under its weight. I knew there was probably a better way to exit the castle but had no clue which way to go. So I left the only way I knew.

As I stepped outside, a chilly summer breeze met me and I wished I put on warmer clothes. I didn’t realize the temperature would be so much cooler here. Instead of going back, I decided to start jogging to warm up faster.

As my feet hit the ground in the constant rhythm, my heartbeat matching it, I felt at peace. Thoughts of Lachlan waiting for me when I got back were the only ones lingering on my mind. It took me an hour and thirty minutes to realize this place was just as beautiful and magical as Lachlan’s other property. The vibrant green landscapes, clear blue skies, and the majestic mountains were as far as my eye could see. It felt like being in the fairy tale, only thing missing were some fairies.

As I made my loop back to the castle, I saw a few curious glances from the locals and I wondered if I was still on Lachlan’s property. I gave them a small wave and was surprised at their greeting back with wide smiles.

See, you get more with honey than vinegar.Elise had been telling me that since we were children.

As I approached the castle, I saw Lachlan waiting for me, leaning against the heavy castle door. He was so handsome, the sun reflecting off his dark hair, bathing him in a glow. There was something so strong, warm, and comforting about him that made me feel warm and tender towards him. If I could capture that moment with a camera, I’d make him into the model for my next book.

My step faltered and I stopped fifteen feet away from him.

My next book,I thought to myself.Ever since I met him, the old me and my old goals have been resurrected.

I used to be consumed with thoughts of the next story, perfect love and pictures to use and then it all died as I buried my family. But each day he brought it all back.
