Roux bit her lower lip, but a moan of longing still escaped. It was a noise that Tad swallowed with his rushed kiss. When they parted, breathing recklessly, his savage gaze didn’t leave hers. “I wanna be able to fuck you where I want to, move aside your sexy little panties and be inside my woman as deep as I can go.” The hand he had on her hip roamed up her side, causing shivers and gasps. “No latex, just my girl’s tight as fuck wet body sucking around me. There’s only been you since we met, Roux. I want you to know that.”
A pulse of surprise went through her. She’d never wanted to ask him if he dated anyone between seeing her, she’d been too afraid of that gut punch if he said yes. “And you haven’t either, or I’d rip the sonuvabitch apart who tried to touch my woman.” He delivered with a growl and made her laugh. This side of him was an eye opener.
“Possessive.”
“Fucking right I am.”
“I haven’t. So, you know. I only wanted you.”
He licked her nipple.
Then sucked her neck.
He palmed her butt and squeezed suggestively. Not that she needed much suggestion, her body was on high alert all the time where Tad was concerned.
“And I want you to be able to unzip me and sit down on my cock when you need it too.”
“Tad,” she whimpered, dizzy. “Why are you trying to kill me?”
“You like that, baby?” He grinned big as a crazy clown. “My Cookie always has a lot of need, I expect you to rampage through my fucking zippers a lot, yeah?”
“God, I will. I want to. It’s all I ever wanted. You, I mean. You’re all I ever wanted. I shouldn’t have lied back then, but you were so fucking sexy, I couldn’t help myself, I wanted you.”
“Shh, Roux. That’s in the past now. Wouldn’t change a thing.”
“Really?” She could hardly believe that to be true. She’d almost gotten him killed for fucking her when he didn’t know her real age. How he’d innocently turned up at her house to pick her up and war started with her dad. The guilt of that one bad decision continued to pour gasoline through her body every day.
“We’re here now, yeah? I can’t regret that. We kept coming back to each other, Roux. So many times, like we’re attached by an invisible thread. You’re so fucking it for me, no matter what we went through to get here.”
Emotion that felt like helium high on gas flushed through her, and she clutched onto his head when he rested his forehead to her cheek. “You’re it for me too.”
“Then maybe you wanna break your engagement, hm?” She heard the laughter in his tone, and she thumped his shoulder. “Shut up, you know I’ve never been engaged.”
“No, not yet you haven’t.” his smoldering words held a lot of heated promise and Roux almost fell off his lap. And then of course, like all men and their unfiltered mouths, he went and ruined their sweet mood by adding. “Let’s get in the shower, baby, my come is dripping out of you all over my fucking leg.”
Roux burst out laughing, part embarrassment and she buried her face in his neck.
He carried her through to the bathroom. Then he pinned her to the tiled wall and showed her what her man did when he needed her.
“Get dressed,” he said more than an hour later after room service had brought food. “I’m taking you out.”
“Really?” She asked, curled up on the bed in a fluffy robe. “I’m happy to stay in, Tad.” Just for the pleasure of being with him. Her belly fluttered in expectancy.
“Dressed, baby. We’ve already spent far too much time locked up in motels, I wanna show my girl off and have a good time.”
How could she refuse that.
He took her to a street festival that wasn’t far. They played games, he won her prizes, she won him one which he said he found fucking adorable. They ate so much street food until she wanted to pop.
They were like any other couple there holding hands.
And that felt amazing.
Yeah, Tad was it for her.
It was the big L word. Even if she couldn’t cope with saying it yet.
She was feeling it big time.
