He pulled her into his arms, “That’s why I have to leave Rose. I have to find the Renegade before he comes for you. He is waiting for me to finish what we started. I will hunt him down this time though. I will not let him live. Not after this. I cannot do it Rose. Not when he said what he did about you. I cannot let that happen. I was not going to before and have been preparing my ship and my crew for a war. It was why I was gone so much. Why I had to stay away. I had to do this so I could get ready. I was warned away from you, and I tried to listen Rose. I did. But I could not. Not any longer. I needed to be with you.”

His face was fierce and when he continued, Rose was sick to her stomach with worry. The word war resonating in her mind over and over again.

“I had to see you before I left. To let you know how much I love you. To tell you that even though I am not here, you are always with me. And to tell you that if I do not make it home, that I thought of you until the very end. That you were and always are my every thought. My dream. My life.”

She wanted to sob, to scream at the injustice of everything he just said and vowed to her, but he never gave her that chance.

He kissed her, pulling her tightly against his body, and Rose gasped into his mouth, his fierce passion something she thought she knew, but this was nothing like their passion from before.

Cabe was almost mindless in his passion, how he pulled her tightly up against him, not letting her get an inch of space between them.

Rose did not know what to think or do, and when Cabe pulled at the back of her dress and she heard it rip, the ties giving way she gasped again.

“Cabe!” She cried out into her room, her body now on fire as he pulled his mouth from hers to suck down her neck and at the tops of her breasts.

“I will buy you another,” he growled against her skin and pushed her dress off her shoulders.

He cursed when he saw her corset and stood, with her firmly wrapped in his arms. He placed her on her feet and then turned her, pushing her dress off her body.

She watched it pool in a heap on the ground, her feet still trapped inside. And then she heard a snick of a blade as and looked over her shoulder to see that Cabe had pulled the blade he kept in his boot out and was holding it in his hands.

“What are you doing?” she asked breathlessly, knowing he would never harm her, but wanting to know why he held the dagger in the first place.

“Getting these fucking clothes off of you as fast as possible.”

Her eyebrows raised in shock and he cut the ties of her corset, and she caught it as it sagged. He moved her hands and pulled the corset off her body, dropping it to the floor.

Then he ripped her chemise over her head, and she stood before him in nothing but long stockings and her dancing shoes.

He pulled her out of the fabric that was her dress, and she hurriedly kicked her slippers off, and he walked her over to her bed, where he tossed her on it.

She bounced and sat up, watching as he pulled the jacket off his shoulders and ripped the buttons off his waistcoat, not bothering to unbutton it.

Then his shirt disappeared, and he unbuttoned his breeches, and he pushed them down, his cock springing free as he did so.

It hit his stomach and left a clear trail of wetness there and Rose got on her knees, crawling across the bed, wanting to touch that wetness on his skin with her tongue.

Never in her life had she had thoughts like this, but she did not care if they were improper.

This was not the place for impropriety. No, now was not the time and Rose put it out of her head.

She reached Cabe and leaned down, licking the wetness his cock had left behind on his stomach off.

He sucked in a breath and the muscles in his stomach stood out even more.

She kissed each one, licking her way up his broad chest, until she reached his lips. She wrapped her naked body around his, and he fell on the bed with her, making her moan as her sensitive breasts rubbed up against his chest.

He pulled back long enough to look down at her, the heat in his eyes making her squirm.

He cupped one of her breasts softly, “You are the most perfect woman I have ever seen. The most amazing one at that.”

Rose arched into his hand, and he sucked her nipple into his mouth, and knelt on the bed between her thighs.

“I am claiming you. I always knew you were mine, right from the start, but you know it now. You are only mine Rose.”

She nodded, “I know it. Claim me Cabe. I am yours, just as you are mine. I need you inside me, please Cabe. Please.”

He nodded, holding her hip in one hand and guiding his cock to her entrance with the other, he wasted no time in joining their bodies.
