“Things will be different this time,” I vowed.
“How?” Despite the sadness in her eyes, her voice was strong, determined. She wanted this as much as I did, and it was only fear holding her back. “We’re still the same people, Aloiki.”
“We are,” I acknowledged, my hands dropping to the button of her pants. “But I’ve learned a valuable lesson since the day you walked out on me.”
I squatted before her, and Lu stepped out of her pants. I kissed her bare labia, a vow and a promise, as I rose. We were both gloriously naked once again, just as we were meant to be.
“What lesson’s that?” she asked. Lu wrapped her arms around my neck before leaping up, wrapping her legs around my waist. I caught her easily. “To not make promises you don’t intend to keep? Or that your life isn’t worth risking when you have someone at home who loves you and worries about you?”
I shook my head, one hand under her ass to steady her. I could feel her wet heat against my navel, and it made my cock harder. I neededinsidethis woman. I wrapped my free hand in her hair to use it to manipulate her head as I wanted. “Toneverlet you walk away from me again,Hokupa?a. You’re mine. In laughter and in tears, in sickness and in health, in conflict and serenity, you will never walk alone again, Lu.”
Her chin started to tremble, but I saw her resolve start to crack. “Aloiki…”
I kissed her, none too gently. “You love me, Lu. Stop fighting this and come back to me. Because I’m done living without you.”
Her apartment was so small that the entire space could have fit in my bedroom back home. It took three steps to turn us so my back was to the couch. I had every intention of sitting, of settling her hot opening over my cock and slowly lowering her down onto my lap.
But a white box with green and blue writing caught my attention on her kitchen counter next to where Kanoa’s cereal bowl now rested.
I froze. “What the fuck is that?”
Lu made a face, one that I knew all too well. It was hershit, I messed upface. “Um, that’s an empty morning-after pill box.”
“I can see that,” I growled. “Why do you have it?”
Lu’s look turned to astonishment. “Because I don’t want to have a baby. Last I checked, neither did you.”
That wasn’t what I meant! “Why aren’t you on birth control?” She had been before. She’d had the thing that goes up her pussy and looks like theTeslalogo.
She scowled. “That’s really none of your business?—”
I acted without warning. Still standing, I notched my cock at her wet entrance, andthrustinside her in one swift motion. Lu’s cry was that of shock, not pain. I was entirely certain of that. Her nails dug into my back, scraping deeply without drawing blood. I needed to visit my tattoo artist before they healed. I wanted thoseexactmarks permanently inked into my skin.
I used her hair to force her chin up to look at me. “Everything about youismy business,” I growled into her face. “And even if it wasn’t, I had sex with you last night and I’m having sex with you now. That makesthat,” I nodded over her shoulder to the kitchen counter, “automatically my business too. Or do you not practice safe sex anymore, Luana?”
Chapter Seven
Lu’s dark eyes narrowed on me, and I fucking loved it. Her anger had always been a turn on for me. It made her grip me tighter, scratch me harder. In the moments when our anger, our frustrations and fears were shared, our passion was like nothing else. It was toxic, but it wasus, and I would never trade her or her anger for another, less-volatile relationship.
Her nails bit into the back of my shoulders, and my hips rolled, driving my cock deeper inside her. “You’re the one who has had sex with me without wearing protection. How do I knowyou’vebeen safe? I’ve seen your videos. You’ve been with a lot of women since I left.”
I raised an eyebrow, and there was no hiding the arrogance in my smirk. “Been watching my channel,Hokupa?a?”
Lu didn’t blush at her admission that she watched porn, or that she watchedmyporn. Not my girl. Instead she brought her hands down to my nipples and twisted. Hard. Heat and pain collided inside me. My balls drew up at the sensation, and I about came. It was only by sheer willpower that I was able to hold off.
I gasped as she released me. Sitting up a little more, I brought her mouth down to mine. Our teeth clanked together,but it did not deter either of us. Something cut my lip and I bit her tongue. Lu worked her hips, riding my lap.
But I was too close to the edge, and I needed her to stop so we could keep talking. She’d come whenIwas ready for her to. Not before.
I halted her hips with a squeeze of my palms. She tried to fight, but I was stronger. I held her in place. Lu ripped her mouth away from mine, met my eyes with a glare, and purposefully squeezed her inner muscles around my cock.
Oh fuck!
I had to drop a hand down between us to grip the base of my dick. It took a moment longer than I cared to admit to get myself back under control. Looking up at her, I saw the challenge of retaliation in her eyes, and fucking loved it. Removing my hand from my cock, I seated her fully down on top of me again and collared her throat with my large palm.
Heat rose in her dark gaze. She would never admit it out loud, but she loved my hand there as much as I did.
“The only person I’d ever risk unsafe sex with is you,” I growled at her, my voice a low rumble. “You are mywahine. That means I protect you, even from me. I’m clean, and that’s theonlyreason I’m bare inside you right now.” I felt her swallow hard under my palm. “Now tell me why you went off birth control.”
