When he’s finally settled between my legs, he uses his fingertips to stroke my core, making me choke out a gasp.

“Okay?”

“Yes.More.”

A finger slides inside of me, while his thumb circles my clit. His eyes move from my face to my center and back again, studying my reactions. I grab for the blanket and ball it in my fists.

The pleasure is intense. Liquid silver coating my veins.

“Look at you,” he murmurs. “Your pussy is so wet for me already. You’re tight. So fucking warm.” He adds another finger, watching them move in and out of me. All I can do is watchhim. The masculine cut of his jaw, blond hair over his forehead, his muscles tensing as his arm works and he holds himself up with his abs. His engorged cock is even thicker than before, the skin red. The vein on the underside of his shaft pulses, the slit leaking.

I lift my hips, needing…justsomething. Anything. More. Pleasure builds everywhere he’s touching me. My clit, my pussy. His fingers stretch me, the tips curling to rub my inner walls.

“Do you ever touch yourself?” he asks.

My back arches, and I whimper. “Yes, doctor.”

He growls. “Do you think about me when you do?”

“Yes,” I purr. “Always.”

“I jack myself and think about you.” His eyes lift to my face, though his fingers keep pumping and stroking. His irises are dark, pupils dilated. Midnight blue. “How do you think my cock will feel inside you?”

I can’t take it any more. “Danny, please.Please.”

He pulls his fingers out of me. “Are you begging for my cock? You’re desperate for it?”

“Yes. Please give it to me.” I’m babbling. That’s what he’s reduced me to. “I need…”

Danny moves up my body, lowers himself over me and whispers, “You are so strong, Lark. So sweet and kind and beautiful.”

His words rush over me like tender caresses. Yet they lay me bare, too, exposing the worst fears I’ve been struggling with all day. Ever since I learned those terrible things from Cam and realized that my past could hold worse secrets than I’d imagined.

“I promised to take care of you, and that’s what I’m going to do. You don’t have to run any more. You made it here. Stay with me.”

I sob for breath when he pushes his cock inside me. It feels…oh, like he’s pinning me in place in the best possible way. Grounding me right here. Where I’m cared for and safe. I’m somewhere between laughing and crying and being dumbstruck with awe.

He watches my reaction with a perfect mixture of careful regard and barely restrained lust. Danny’s hovering over me, supported on his elbows and knees, with my thighs spread wide beneath him. His cock is so deep, as far as he can go inside my body. The rest of him is poised. Flexed and wound tight with the effort of remaining still.

“I need to fuck you now, baby.” His voice is strained. “I’m losing my mind here. Tell me you’re okay.”

“I’ll be perfect if you don’t go easy on me. Take me. Make me yours.”Erase anyone else who might’ve been here before you. I only want to be yours.

He grins wickedly. “If you really want me to, I’ll make you scream my name. Then you’ll have no doubt who you belong to.”

I stretch my arms over my head, fanning my hair out so it’s not caught beneath me. My fingers grab onto the headboard.

Then, it’son.

He holds himself up on one hand, grasps my hip with the other, and he thrusts his shaft hard and fast. Holding nothing back. Our bodies slap together. It’s primal and it’s everything I need.

Danny fucking into me is the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.

He’s showing me he doesn’t see me as some broken, damaged girl. I’m strong enough to take what he’s giving me. And I want itall. The beads of sweat rolling down between his pecs, landing on my stomach. The scent of him, which I’m sure I’m soaked in by now. And his rigid, girthy cock that’s forcing me closer and closer to climax.

My thighs clench around him and my body tenses just before my orgasm overtakes me. Immerses me and drowns me in pleasure. I grab for the headboard, tip my head back and cry out, “Danny!”

His hand covers my mouth. “Shh, baby, that’s a little too loud.” I suck on his fingers, and he groans. His movements stutter, and I feel his cock throbbing inside me. Marking me with his hot seed. Showing where I belong.
