“Thank fuck!” He moved my bikini bottom to the side and entered me in one powerful thrust, causing me to arch my back. I threw my head back from the pleasure of having him buried in me, every rational thought being stripped away.

I wrapped my arms around his neck as he gripped my hips to keep me in place during each powerful trust.

“Oh, Angel,” he growled. Licking a path up my neck, he nibbled on the soft skin of my jawline. “Being in you is like stepping into heaven. I never want to leave your body.”

“I’m close. Jesus, I’m so close.”

He sucked one of my nipples into his mouth, biting just hard enough to bring a zing of pleasure down my spine and into my core.

“Caleb… Caleb.” I rocked my hips faster, meeting him thrust for thrust until he let go of my hip and pressed his thumb against my bundle of nerves, sending me over the edge so deeply, I saw stars.

I buried my face in his neck as his thrusts turned erratic, his own release close. I sucked on his earlobe and he came in an earth-shattering roar.

“I never want to let you go,” he whispered, wrapping his arms around me, him still inside.

I wasn’t sure if he meant now or ever, but if I was honest, both were fine by me. Because as terrified as it made me feel, I’d never felt as happy – as safe and happy – as I was when I was in his arms.

Chapter 19 – Caleb

Come to the Council Room alone.That was one hell of a text. I had to admit that being summoned by Archibald in such a way was aggravating and only served to get on my nerves.

It didn’t matter how well my morning had started - when Esmeralda had woken me up the best way she could, with her lips around my cock. Who the hell did he think he was? I was the King.

“Why the frown?” Esmeralda asked as we walked down the corridor, her hand tightly in mine. Now that she was truly mine, I wanted to show it to the whole school, code be damned. If that made me look like a lovesick fool, just one look into her bright eyes was enough to dismiss any concern I could have had.

“I thought what we did this morning would have been enough to cheer you up for this first day back at school,” she whispered.

I raised an eyebrow. “Maybe I just need a top-up?” I pointed at a broom closet down the corridor. “Are you game?”

She swatted at my chest with a startled laugh. “Absolutely not! I’m in enough trouble as it is!”

I trailed the back of my hand over her lower abdomen. “Come on. I just want to see your tattoo again.”

I’d gotten a small Iron Man mask on the left side of my chest for Theo, an homage to his favorite superhero. When she’d shown hers to me after the tattoo session, I’d felt like I had a vice constricting my heart and lungs.

She had mirrored my heart tattoo with the addition of angel wings. It was situated in a place I hoped no other man would ever see. It should only be mine to see, to touch, to kiss… If only she knew what that tattoo meant to me. The irony of it. It was an ode to her and now she was wearing it too.

She stood on her tiptoes and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. “It’s scabbed and gross, and you saw it this morning. Plus -” she pointed at a door down the corridor - “I’m going to be late.”

I let go of her hand with a sigh. I didn't have to fake that. I was a sucker for this girl and it was always difficult for me to part from her. I was wondering if it was because my heart lived in her chest or because part of me still feared she would disappear again.

“See you later, Angel.” I bent down to kiss the crown of her head.

She walked backward, resting her hand on her chest with the brightest smile. She always lit up when I called her Angel.

Once she disappeared into her room, I sighed again, then made my way to the Council Room.

Archibald was leaning against the table, his arms crossed on his chest.

“You called?” I sneered, waving my phone in his face before sliding it back into my pocket. “Since when do we have clandestine meetings, you and I? I don’t remember becoming best friends…or even friends at all.”

He rolled his eyes. “I’m here to talk about Esmeralda. I believe it’s the only thing we have in common - this desire to keep her safe and happy.”

I was glad he knew my desire to protect her was paramount, but I was still suspicious.

“I believe matters involving Esmeralda should be discussed with Esmeralda present.”

“Esmeralda is sometimes not the most logical when she has a decision to make involving feelings. She thinks with her heart, not her head.”
