I moaned into it, melting against the hardness of his body and letting Knox take what he needed—what we both needed at this moment.

His hands were rough, his grip possessive, and his kiss… God, his kiss seemed to swallow my shaky breaths.

After long minutes of making out, Knox tore his lips from mine and stared into my eyes. His gaze was dark and fevered. “I need to hear you say it.”

I knew exactly what he wanted. “I’m yours.”

The low rumble that spilled from between his clenched teeth made my pussy impossibly wetter. I gasped as he made quick work of stripping me bare. “I’m only yours,” I moaned.

Knox snarled, a dangerous sound, and then he had me on my back, his own clothes off, and wedged himself between my spread thighs.

There was no hesitation. No softness in any sense.

There was only rough and unyielding ownership.

There was only Knox.

And I let him claim me. Because I was his.

KNOX

Ifelt fucking wild as I stared at Kelsie. She was mine in every sense of the word.

I raked my gaze over her, taking note that she’d always been beautiful, but with time, she had become even more so.

I wasn’t going to waste another second.

I grabbed her wrists and yanked them up so they were above her head, pinning her down and caging her in. Right now, I felt frenzied, crazed. All I could see, smell, hear, and think about was Kelsie, about claiming her.

Her breath hitched as I leaned down, my lips brushing against her ear. “You’remine,” I growled, my voice dark and wholly possessive. “And I want you to fucking swear it. I want you tomeanit.”

She hesitated, and I tightened my grip on her wrists, snarling like a fiend.

“Swear it,” I demanded a second time, my teeth grazing her earlobe.

“You know I’m yours. I’ve always been yours,” she whispered, and the block of solid ice the froze around my heart the day she left splintered.

“Louder.” My voice was ominous, filled with dominance and unyielding control, and I sucked her earlobe in to clamp between my teeth this time.

“God,” she moaned, her hips rolling instinctively. “I’m yours, Knox. Now and forever.” Her voice broke, and I could feel her pulse racing under my fingertips.

And that splintered ice shattered, freeing my heart and allowing it to begin beating again for the first time in years.

I licked the side of her neck, humming in approval at how sweet she tasted. “Good girl,” I murmured, releasing her wrists and pushing up to stare down at her. Kelsie’s eyes were wide with passion and need, and her mouth parted as air sawed in and out through her pretty, pink lips.

I didn’t give her a chance to think. I kissed her hard, my lips crushing hers, my tongue demanding entrance. And she submitted, giving me everything I wanted and more.

Kelsie wrapped her arms around my shoulders and melted into me, her hands tangling in my hair as I deepened the kiss. Fuck, she tasted sweet. Like everything I’d been missing in my life since she left.

I couldn’t get enough.

When she started undulating beneath me, I gripped her hips, loving that she gasped in pleasure when I dug my fingers into her soft, warm flesh. I trailed my lips down her neck, dragging my teeth and tongue along her skin, nipping at her until she started begging me to fuck her.

“Knox,” she moaned, her hands tugging at my hair, pulling me closer to her, like I was the only thing keeping her grounded.

Fuck, that was sure as hell what I felt with her.
