"Swear it to me. We made vows, and while I suppose I can't hold you to the first one since you were kind of out of it, I'm sure as hell holding you to this one. Promise me you won’t run anymore. That when shit gets hard, you’ll lean on me.”
I smile. “If you promise the same to me. I promise the same to you, except the no running part. If you’re chasing me, then I’m running.”
The corner of his full lips tips up. "Oh, you’ll never have to worry about that. I’ll always chase after you. Wherever you go, I’ll be there, Little Prey.”
CHAPTER 20
SEBASTIAN
Holy hell, her heart is beating so hard I can feel it against my chest. The frantic beat matches the mix of fear and hope in her eyes as she looks at me. I don't know if I’ll ever be good enough for this woman, but I’ll try until my last fucking breath. There is no other option, no giving her up. Not anymore. Not now that I know her so well, inside and out.
"Come here, Little Prey. I need you."
She blinks, eyes heavy lidded. I catch her face between my hands and crash my lips against hers.
Immediately, she opens for me, seeking, tasting, and I can't get enough of it. I deepen the kiss, sliding one hand around to catch a fistful of her hair—not pulling, simply holding her tighter, needing more contact with her skin, her lips, her body. I’m fucking ravenous for this woman.
She tries to pull away, her chest heaving as she pants, but I’m not done yet. I’m addicted to her kisses, her touch, and I might go insane if I don’t get to sink between her legs soon.
“I’m not done with you yet,” I growl and pull her back in, devouring her mouth, savoring her taste on my tongue. We need this. Something for us. Not a fight, not a surrender, but making love. Giving and receiving. I release my hold on her, and in response she wraps her arms around my shoulders to keep herself in place, her hips moving and causing her pussy to press harder against my lap.
With anxious need I tug the hem of her hoodie up, along with the thin T-shirt underneath, and lift. She makes a humming sound of approval against my lips but pulls away enough for me to peel the fabric up and off of her.
I take in her trembling body, her gauzy, lacy bra cupping her perfect handful of breasts the way I want to be. I move to find the clasp, but she grins at me and shakes her head before peeling it off her body and tossing it to the floor.
“Smart girl. I would’ve ripped the thing off of you if I couldn’t find the clasp.” I catch one nipple between my lips, and her arms wrap around my neck again, clutching me closer.
Arching her body gives me further access to her tits, and I suck on the diamond hard bud, flicking my tongue against it until she squirms.
“That feels so good…” She moans, and I smirk against her skin while trailing my hands down to the waistband of her jeans. I fucking need her, but I also know based on her past trauma that making sure she feels seen and connected to me is the most important part.
"How is this, Ely? Talk to me."
"More," she groans. "Sebastian, please."
"I won't make a lady beg. Stand up."
She practically jumps off my lap, and I have to steady her when she nearly crashes to the floor, her feet slipping on the cash that's been strewn over the floor. Her gaze roams over my body, and then she moves to open the fly of her jeans.
I smack her hands away and do it myself, peeling the material off her body and sliding down her knees at the same time. "Spread your legs, Little Prey. Let me see how wet my pussy is.”
She doesn't argue for once in her fucking life and instead shifts her stance. The light in the room catches on her glistening skin and my mouth waters to taste her. "Climb up onto the bed. I need to taste you, and I can’t eat you like I want with you standing here.”
“So bossy. You’re lucky I like it when you tell me what to do.” She trails beside me, bumping my shoulder with her hip.
I groan, stand, and quickly strip out of my clothing, leaving it all in a pile on the floor. My cock stands at attention, the head swollen and purple, aching to sink deep inside her wet heat.
Soon, so very soon.
Once she is situated on the edge of the bed, I drop to my knees right between her spread thighs. I sink my fingers into her flesh and spread her even wider, needing to see every single fucking inch of her of her delicate pussy. "Perfection. You’re absolute perfection, Ely.” My mouth waters, and I lick my lips in anticipation. “And beautiful, fuck, you’re so beautiful.”
