Chapter Twenty-One

Ashlynn

My entire body felt like jello. I could barely move my arms and legs, every single part of me was so spent. I laid there for a few seconds, the images of last night floating in my head. For the third time, I woke up with Steele next to me in bed. But this time, I didn’t sneak out. I rolled over, surprised that he was already awake.

He stared at me, his eyes practically topaz in the morning light. Unlike his rooms in London, there was natural light in his bedroom here. I blinked, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, and waited for him to say something.

He didn’t break eye contact and pulled his bottom lip into his mouth and bit it. It was just about the sexiest thing I had ever seen, but I knew he’d done it unconsciously.

“Good morning,” he said, his voice husky. He brought his hand up to lightly stroke my hair, his fingers combing through the tangles.

I suddenly felt shy now that the sun was up and the passion had settled. “Morning.”

He breathed deeply and then pulled me on top of him, my naked body pressed tightly against his. I put my hands on his shoulders and sat up, straddling him.

“If this is what it’s like to have you, Ashlynn Phillips, I should have kidnapped you a long time ago.” He grabbed my hips and slowly helped me rock against him. When I sat up, I didn’t mean to initiate sex, but he was ready to go and it would be a lie to say I wasn’t interested.

He leaned up against the headboard and kissed me, his lips just as hungry as they had been the night before. I continued to rock against him, and he pulled me up gently and then helped me settle down on his length.

I’d never been in this position before, but Steele held my hips and helped guide me. Within a few minutes, we were both panting, and I released a split second before he came inside of me. I felt his seed, warm and heavy, and the realization of what just happened, multiple times since last night, stopped me hard.

“What’s wrong?” Steele asked, instantly picking up my panic.

I gestured to where our bodies were locked together, where his seed had started to seep out of me. He eyed his handiwork, a fleeting look of pride in his eyes.

“Please tell me you’re clean,” I said, the fear clear in my tone.

“Of course I am. I’m regularly tested. Besides, I’ve never fucked a woman without a condom. Well, before last night.”

I blushed, but my panic was still at the surface. “I haven’t been taking my birth control—”

He frowned, but then brushed it off. “I’ll have a doctor come around today and we’ll get you the shot. It takes a while to be effective. I’m not going to apologize for what I did, though.”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The chances were pretty slim, based on where I knew I was in my cycle, but to hear Steele’s lack of fear freaked me out.
