Page 101 of Silent Heart

His voice trembled. It was so unusual, that I couldn’t compute the sound to the hard man of stone. “Because you’re the only woman for me.”

My heart skipped painfully.

“Shut up and make me feel better,” I demanded.

“Done,” he growled. His hard touch threaded through my hair, and he pulled my head down to meet his.

I met his kiss with a blast of fury. The heartache poured into that kiss, our lips saying everything our words would not.

As his tongue fucked my mouth, his cock drove into me from below. I ached for this man. While I needed this connection, this impending release, it wouldn’t be enough.

But it was a start.

He still wants me.

The words he couldn’t say were there in his every action, every stolen glance. I could feel it, when he held me on that dingy mattress, both unconscious and conscious, when we woke up, and the way he touched me now.

Kolya buried himself inside me, one powerful thrust after another. I anchored my hold on him and arched into his every movement. There might be a lot of unanswered questions, a lot of groundwork to reestablish, but my body bypassed it all, opening up and welcoming him home.

“You’re soaked for me,” he murmured, voice strained.

I nodded eagerly, catching his lip with my teeth and making him hiss. “You have no idea how much I missed your big, thick cock filling me.”

Kolya growled, possessive. Animalistic. “Then why don’t you show me—and come.”

“Now?” I smirked, pressing kisses over his forehead.

“Yes, right fucking now.”

There was no struggle or chase. His command was a match, and the fuse was short. The orgasm ripped through me, seizing every muscle, and making me scream loudly.

Kolya clapped his palm over my mouth and continued to drive into me as I shattered around him. Only when I couldn’t breathe from the rush of pleasure did he slam me hard onto his cock and stop. Inside me, he jerked and spilled.

Joined back together, at long last.

Breathing hard, we stared at one another. Kolya’s eyes darkened to a raging winter storm, dark grey, with only the barest hint of blue.

“What happens now?” I panted. Because I felt like I was going to crumble if I didn’t ask.

“I don’t know.”

A shudder ran down my spine, so intense that Kolya felt it inside me and groaned.

“I can’t face another goodbye, Kolya,” I said tightly. “Not knowing that you’re out there, that you still feel the same about me.”

His jaw tightened.

“You can’t keep it a secret,” I scoffed. “I know how you really feel.”

I punctuated my words with another squeeze of my inner muscles.

“You’re right,” he said through clenched teeth. “Damn me, Harley, but I’m going to drag you into the underworld, because losing you isn’t an option.”

Those words, that confession, it was perfect. To anyone else, it might seem too little, but coming from my stony gargoyle, it was enough.

Chapter 41 – Kolya

“Iwon’t lose you again,” I promised, my words reverberating through the empty truck, as I watched the forest green jacket weave through the students filing from the dormitory.
