Page 21 of Who I Crave To Be

Need.

A secret promise stemming from a forbidden weekend and gloriously tainted sin.

Two souls that were never supposed to cross but had, and now, would forever be changed.

I peel the clothes from her body slowly, allowing her to do the same to me.She circles me as her hands caress every inch of my bare skin in approval.The sweet kiss of her touch, searing into my flesh as the intimacy of it all, stifles the open air around us.Palming the rounded globes of her ass, I lift her to me, allowing her to wrap her legs around my waist.

She lowers slowly, seductively as I slowly bury myself in her hot and naked depths to the hilt, groaning at how tight she feels.The walls to her sweet pussy clench, sending a sensation through me that has me almost feral with wanton desire but I refuse to break the steady pace we have formed.

I move inside of her, a man lost in lands unknown to him, yet at ease with taking his time on the journey to appreciate every beautiful thing he shall encounter on his path.

We move like this, throughout the night and into early morning making love under the stars and early rays of the sun.

And for the hundredth time this weekend, I write my name on her womb with my cum.

My claim.

Because I'll never let her go.

"Hmm," I moan around a mouthful of croissant from the restaurant Deano has brought me to for breakfast.

The warm, velvety butter seeps onto my tongue and the taste and texture is orgasmic.

"And this weekend was almost perfect," Deano drawls, making my narrowed eyes snap to his as I frown.

"Excuse me?"I scoff, watching as his ocean eyes sparkle in mischievous glee.

"And to think, I went almost an entire weekend without having to kill anyone.But those noises you just made?Well, at least five guys overheard them and that just won't do."

I huff a slight chuckle as I study him warily."You wouldn't," I breathe, wondering…dude’s in the mafia, would he?

His face becomes stoic as his somber eyes hold mine."Kill a man?If I had thought somebody had hurt you, disrespected you, or in any way caused any kind of emotional or physical harm to you?Or touched you in any other way more than the affectionate love of a brother?"he questions, and my heart quickens in anticipation of the answer."I'd do more than kill him.I'd make him wish he was dead."

I gulp, dabbing at my mouth with the napkin in front of me taking a moment to gather myself.

"Does that excite you?"he muses, lips quirking as he reads me like a damn book.

Because yes, that does excite my treacherous body to know that somebody cares that deeply for me.That no matter the circumstances, if I was ever in need they would become overwhelmed by the urge to protect me.It settles every fighter's instinct within me, knowing that in this big bad world, I don't always have to hold myself up.That I don't always have to fight until I crawl into bed at night, too exhausted to wake to my alarm.After fighting another battle for yet another painfully slow day,protecting myself from some other kind of danger.

"Well, it would be nice to not have to fight for myself all of the time," I answer truthfully.

"You have no one in your life who would defend you like that?"he asks in shock as I shake my head sadly.

"No, Deano.This isn't a novel.In real life, it's almost impossible to find an alpha who would burn down the world to protect you."

He scoffs, smiling at me in a way that melts me to the seat I sit."That's because in the real world, you're more likely to find a man to stand at your side while he hands you the tank of gas."He chews a little of his steak, before poking the rest into the yoke of his egg."I'll rough them up, while you set them alight.The perfect team, right?"

I snort around my glass of sparkling water and hurry to correct myself.

Because my control around this man is fading fast.I stare at him in bewilderment, wondering if he's even real or if in my need of an escape, I've conjured him up."Who are you?"I breathe, never wanting to know a world where he doesn't exist within it.

"Funny, I've been thinking the same thing about you, pretty girl."

I blush, biting on my lower lip as his greedy eyes follow the movements.

"Are you ready for today's adventure?"he asks as I brush my sleek ponytail from my shoulder.

"Yeah, what is it?"I answer eagerly.
