BRANDON
Pat OâReilly was a dead man walking. While listening to Carly tell me about her childhood, I felt the rage boiling just under the surface. He had treated his own child no better than an animal and then planned to auction her off to the most powerful bidder. I was already planning each little way I would torture him before letting him die.
Carly snuggled deeper into my embrace, and I closed my eyes, reveling in the peace I was finding in her arms. I hadnât expected her to be such a balm to my tarnished soul. Every protective instinct in me had roared to life and I knew I would do whatever it took to keep her safe. I was keeping her, period.
It was tempting to stay in this little house and hide away from the world. I could easily imagine spending hours worshiping Carlyâs incredible body. I couldnât believe it when she told me she was a virgin. I discovered the caveman inside me that I had no idea existed there. I mentally beat on my chest and yelled to everyone that this woman was mine. Would only ever be mine.
Iâd never been casual about sex, and I knew she was my forever, so, it surprised me when I pulled out before taking her virginity last night. Iâve never wanted a woman so fucking much in my life, but something held me back. With all of the shit sheâd dealt with in her life, I knew this could and should be one thing that is special. And, it wouldnât be in some random bed, in an unknown house, while on the run. Despite the painful encouragement I was getting from my rock hard cock.
In fact, it was time to get back to reality. I kissed her head and nuzzled my nose in her long red hair, inhaling the delicious scent of coconut. âCarly,â I said quietly, with a light kiss to her forehead. âKitten, itâs time to get up.â
She mumbled something incoherent and stretched, throwing her leg across mine, brushing my erection. I groaned in response to the sparks of pleasure the simple movement had caused. Carly stilled, instantly alert, every muscle tensed and ready for fight or flight.
I didnât know which she would settle on so I flipped us over, caging her underneath me. When she saw it was me, there was a mixture of relief and fury. Really? Back to that again, are we? âRetract your claws, kitten. We donât have time for you to fight with me about who you belong to. Accept it and move forward, because we have a lot of other shit to deal with right now.â
âBeâbelong to?â she sputtered incredulously.
I sighed, so done with this. âYes, babe. Youâre mine. Weâve covered this. Now, no kicking or punching me when I let you up. Get your sweet ass moving so we can get on the road.â
âFine,â she said through clenched teeth as she glared at me. I nodded and slowly moved off of her, wary and protecting my important parts.
