Chapter Twenty-Four
Christian
Once I see that she’s forgiven me for how fucking weird I’ve been acting, something inside me breaks loose. It’s simultaneously a feeling of freedom, of seeing the light as you emerge from a dark room; it’s like a ship gliding into its place at the dock, finally secure again after being tossed around on the ocean.
I just couldn’t bring her back to that place.
I couldn’t do it.
As much as it terrifies me, the things she says, the memories she brushes up against when she speaks to me, I can’t fake it like that. Not with her. Not any longer. That’s off the table.
The more I learn about her, the more I see how strong she is. How fierce. How even in the face of uncertainty, she didn’t lose her cool.
Not that I mind when she does, especially in bed.
I wish it hadn’t taken so long for me to struggle with my goddamn choices.
After I saw Jax and Cate at the Swan, I knew that something had to change. I knew I was going to have to set aside my rules of engagement, set aside the fake penthouse, set aside all of it, and just be with her.
She’s probably right. I should have taken her on a date and asked her all the same questions, and I will. I absolutely fucking will do that. But I had to pull back a little in order to come to terms with the magnitude of what’s happening.
The magnitude of what I feel for her.
She’s hot for me, ravenous for me, all over me. She claws at my clothes, tearing a couple of buttons loose in the process, and I can’t wait another moment to see her body again. I pull her shirt roughly over her head and yank at the clasp of her bra, exposing her perfect breasts. She stifles a gasp with her hand when I lean down and take one of her nipples in my mouth, swirling my tongue around it, and then my hand is back on her neck, pulling her into me so I can taste her, show her that she’s mine.
She’s mine.
No matter what happens—no matter what kind of disaster this ends in—I’m not going to give up another second with her.
Still kissing her fiercely, I back her up and lift her onto the bed. She spreads herself wide for me and I can’t help but grin for a moment before I start trailing wet kisses down over her breasts, down over her stomach, and then continue lower.
“Is this for me?” I say, putting a hand on either side of her hips.
Her eyes are black with desire, and I see something in them that I only see when we’re together like this. When I drop my voice to use a certain tone with her. She’s stripped down to another level, needing me, wanting me, wrestling with her own need to be in control.
“Yes,” she whispers, and spreads her legs another inch apart, begging me without words to take her.
