Page 16 of The Fighter who Needed Me
“Make me yours Brooks, hurry! I need you. I have ached for so long.”
Brooks did not have to be told twice, lifting her skirts and pulling her drawers down her legs was as undressed as he wanted to get her.
Pulling his cock free, he slid into her tight wetness and they both moaned.
Kissing her again to keep from being too loud, Brooks thrust in and out of her, his pace slow and steady, needing this connection to her.
But his wife was impatient. She locked her legs around his waist, “Faster Brooks. Please. I need this. You. We don’t have much time, and I need the ache to go away.”
Brooks snarled against her lips and did as she asked, pumping his hips into her faster and faster until she was making small noises in her throat and trying to muffle them with his mouth.
He could feel her sheath start to tighten on his shaft and he groaned, needing her climax.
She went stiff under him and he noticed she was biting her lip, and he felt her tighten until he could take it no longer.
Letting his release pour deep into her waiting depths.
They collapsed on the settee they were on and Persephone pulled him close, kissing him, and kissing him until she put her head to his chest and hugged him close.
“I have missed you so much Brooks. I know I said it before, but this has been so difficult on me. My parents have not let me out of their sight, and they wanted to take me back to the country. I had to beg them to keep me here. To let me stay and finish the season. It took a lot of time to convince them and then when Aidan spoke to my parents about allowing Rose and I to go to ball’s and such, they still struggled. But I have tried to get away. I just cannot. Not yet. I am sorry Brooks.”
Brooks put his finger under her chin, still connected to her. “I know you are trying love. And I know how much you hate it. Hate being there. I will do what I can to help you. I just know your family would take you away from me if they saw me at a ball or anything. I do not want that. So I have stayed away. I would rather have these stolen moments than nothing at all love. Trust me.”
Then he kissed her and helped right her clothing. “Come, let us go see everyone. I took you away before you had the chance.”
She nodded and he pulled her from the room, kissing her softly one last time. “I love you Persephone. I love you.”
She smiled at him, “I love you too.”
And that was that. They spent the rest of the time with everyone in Penelope’s sitting room and when it was time to leave, Persephone stole a kiss and Brooks once again hated her leaving.
She did not know about Burk or what had happened just days prior with his wounding, and she would not ever know.
She did not need to get caught up in their world and he refused to let her.

Another few days passed and Burk was almost killed. Brooks was pissed and hated that his brother was taken right from under his nose.
He was just glad that his wife was all right. It was all that mattered.
After finding Burk and helping with his injuries, Brooks was on edge. Too much had happened this month and he did not like it.
Not one bit. He was struggling with it all. And he was in no mood to play games.
Hearing Cabe say those things about not being with Rose made him snap.
Cabe could see his woman every single day. Brooks could not.
He got to touch her if he wished and Brooks could not. He was married to Persephone and could not even see his wife.
And that was the hardest part. He needed to get away from it all, and he felt for his friend, but he had no time for Cabe’s nonsense.
If he could, he would worship the ground she walked on. He would prove to her every day how much he loved her.
Brooks was about done with not having her.
And with these last weeks proving anything to him it was that life was short.
It wasn’t guaranteed and he wanted to have his woman in his arms and in his life.
