Chapter 11

Thunder

My heart pounds in my chest, wild, crazy, and something primal inside me, comes undone. But then there’s my damn head, reminding me, warning me that she’s said those words before. And look how that turned out, with her running straight into my brother’s arms. Her pregnant with his child.

But she’s back.

She’s here.

And where Kennedy is concerned I’ve always been a sucker for punishment.

I've spent the last months trying to get over her. To rid myself of the constant ache in my chest. But she was always there.

Always.

Because you can’t live without your heart, and that’s what the woman was. An essential part of my being.

My fingers cup the back of her head, tangling in the dark waves.

“You have me. Every messed up, shredded part of my soul is yours.”

Her lips tremble, quivering with the deep breath she takes in, and I see the doubt in her eyes.

“Thunder…”

Fuck. I prefer my real name on her lips. It almost feels like she’s put a barricade around herself by using that damn nickname.

I lower my mouth to hers.

Soft.

Slow.

Taking my time, until I feel some of her reservation leave her, until her body molds into mine, and she returns the kiss with all the pent-up emotion that’s been building between us for God knows how long.

Mine.

Mine.

Mine.

That’s what she is. What every cell in my body cries out as her palms skate up my chest, around my neck, pulling me closer.

When we kiss, I feel it. The connection. Her willingness. Her heart. It beats for me, not my fucking brother.

I push the damn thought away. Colin doesn’t belong here. This moment is mine. And so is the girl. I place one hand on her stomach. Both of them. I’ll make damn sure of it.

Bending down, I pick her up, and she lets out a small cry. “What are you doing?”

“Taking you to bed.”

“Put me down, you’re going to break your back.”

I snort, because it isn’t until she’s in my arms that I realize how light she actually is. Too light. I’m going to have to change that.

“Did you eat today?”

“Yes.”

I raise an eyebrow at her.

“I did. I promise.”

I kiss her forehead and gently place her on my bed.

This is where she belongs. Not in that damn guestroom.

She’s watching me through hooded eyes, and I see the mix of desire and reservation there.

Maybe I’m going too quickly, but I need to make her mine. Make her realize who she belongs to.

I pull my shirt over my head and discard it on the floor. She keeps watching me. When I move towards her, crawling across the bed, I can’t ignore the fear I see in her eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing…”

“You don’t want this?”

“I do… I just.” She glances down and bites her bottom lip. “Look at me. You can’t want…”

I tilt her chin up, forcing her to meet my gaze. “You’re gorgeous, Kennedy. But if you’re worried about the baby…”

“No. I read that it’s…” Color creeps up her neck to her cheeks. “It’s fine. I want this. I want you.
