I could feel the tip of his cock sliding through my lips, and then he was at my entrance pushing inside me in one long thrust. I cried out, gripping his shoulder as he rammed into me. My legs wound around his waist, pulling him in even closer. Within minutes, my legs were sore from being spread so wide and my body from being stretched in a way it wasn’t accustomed. His lips met mine in a bruising kiss as he picked up the pace, fucking me so hard I was jerking on the mattress.

He fucked me with wild abandon, awakening something inside me that I thought was long dead. It was fast and brutal, but all consuming. He soothed the ache deep inside me while unleashing a desperate desire I had hidden away for far too long.

My body started to shake, my legs quivered. He swore as he felt me tighten around him and then he shoved in one last time as we both came hard, holding onto one another as if it was all ending too quickly.

I laid panting in his arms, barely able to think of anything else other than the pleasure rolling through me. My eyes grew heavy as he rested his large body against mine. He pressed deeper inside me, making me gasp, before pulling out all the way.

“You’re mine,” he whispered gruffly. “Do you get that?”

I wanted to say yes, but I really didn’t have a clue. “What…”

“It means I’m not letting you go, Eva. I know that sounds domineering and possessive, but it’s true. And I need you to know that and start believing it. No more running. No more pushing me away. We’re in this together, and we’ll finish it that way too.”

He brushed his nose along mine, pressing kisses down my face as he slid his hand down my waist and cupped my pussy with his hand. His fingers started dancing across my clit, teasing me and urging me to go one more round.

“Cash,” I gasped.

He swallowed my cries, bruising me with his kisses. “Tell me you feel it too,” he murmured. “This isn’t over between us, and it’s not going to end. This is me and you, Eva.”

I nodded, still not sure I could believe any of it. I wanted to so desperately, but something inside me cautioned me to be careful. If I ever lost him, it would destroy me. Guys like Cash didn’t come along every day, nor did they make a woman feel even half the passion and acceptance he made me feel.

His fingers slowly thrummed over me, lazily playing me like he just wanted to touch me. I had no more orgasms to give, and I was pretty sure that if I waited another ten minutes, he would be mounting me again, ready to fuck me even harder the second time around. I didn’t care that he wasn’t gentle with me. If anything, this wild and crazy Cash fit him more than any sweet version he could offer.

“What happens now?” I asked.

“We need to go into town.” He shifted off me, resting on my good side as his hand continued to play across my skin.

“For what?”

“I didn’t use a condom. We need to get you the morning after pill.”

“Oh.” I flushed bright red, having totally forgotten about that. “I’m not on birth control.”

“It’s fine. But I don’t think either of us is ready for that kind of commitment, and being on the run makes things more difficult.”

I stared up at the ceiling, a million things running through my mind at that moment. “What do you think the chances are that we’ll come out of this alive?”

“Right now? I don’t know. But I never give up on anything. I swear to you, we’ll do whatever we have to so you’re safe.”

And I did trust him. He pressed a kiss to the side of my head and then slipped out of bed. “I need to get downstairs and discuss plans with Rae and Fox.”

“I’ll come with you.”

He leaned over and kissed me. “Stay in bed and get some rest. You’ve had a rough time.”

I pressed my hand to his chest, pushing him back. “The same as you. I’m tired of watching things happen to me. I need to fight back, and now that I have you, I feel like I can finally do that.”

He smirked and grabbed my hand, pulling me up against him. “I told you, little kitten, those claws will come out. Let’s just wait until you’re healed a little.”

He walked over to pick up his clothes and started getting dressed. Meanwhile, I was still mulling over the words he spoke to me not even ten minutes ago.I was his.My heart beat a little faster at the possible implications. Surely it was too soon to say that we were going to be a couple and stay together, living happily ever after. He must mean temporarily, as in this moment. We didn’t know each other, and he couldn’t possibly be certain about me. He didn’t even know me.

Then there was the fact that he was this amazing man. He served in the military and had a distinguished career that I was only beginning to understand. On top of all that, when he was a sniper he crossed enemy lines to get a bullet. I still didn’t understand that one, but even I knew it took guts to do something like that. Now he ran a security company with men and women that respected him in a way I’d never seen before.

And who was I? Nobody. I never made anything of my life. When I left my aunt’s house, after she’d given me every opportunity to succeed, I basically threw it in her face. Now we were both on the run from something I’d stumbled upon. And if she was still alive, I owed her my life. I just didn’t know how I could possibly repay her for what she’d done for me, and the years I’d taken from her.

“Hey,” Cash said, studying my face. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah,” I answered, faking a smile. “I was just thinking about my aunt.”
