Page 99 of With This Kiss
I felt her convulse around me, and that was all it took to trigger my own.
With a growl, I pushed into her one last time, burying myself to the hilt as the orgasm tore through me. I emptied myself inside her, my entire body shuddering with the sheer force of it. For a moment, I couldn't move, couldn't speak—I just hovered above her, my weight supported on trembling arms as waves of aftershocks rolled through me.
“Fuck,” I whispered, finally collapsing beside her and pulling her against my chest. Her skin was slick with sweat, her breathing ragged against my neck. I ran my fingers through her hair, focusing on her breathing. She was safe. And she was with me.
She didn’t speak for a long time, just nestled against me, her heartbeat gradually slowing, matching mine. I traced lazy patterns on her back, not wanting to break whatever spell had fallen over us, thinking, if we could stay like this forever, that would be okay with me.

Iwas still reeling from everything that happened. All I could do was lie in his arms and relive every precious moment.
I closed my eyes and snuggled in closer to him.
So this was what all the fuss was about.
I got it now.
I always thought people made too big a deal out of sex, but now… I ran my hand up to Reign’s chest, holding it there, and focused on his heartbeat, letting the small rhythmic pounding ground me.
I snuggled in closer to him.
“We have to get ready for our day soon,” he said, his voice soft.
“Five more minutes,” I said, not wanting to get up just yet. I knew there were still things I needed to do—like deciding what to do about Caine. I needed to confront my brother. I needed him to tell me why he had decided to betray Dad.
I always knew they weren’t close, but I thought at least Caine was loyal… wasn’t he?
And if he wasn’t… was it justified?
I closed my eyes and snuggled in closer to Reign. His arms wrapped tightly around me, and I felt him press a kiss on my forehead.
It took a while before we finally managed to pull ourselves apart. I winced when I sat up, something that Reign didn’t miss.
His eyes were laser sharp as they focused on me before moving down my naked body. At this point, the sun was fully out, bathing the room in a morning light that made it impossible for me to hide.
He tensed when he got to my legs, and I looked down to see a smear of crimson there.
He frowned, and I watched his face as he put everything together.
I was blushing something fierce when he finally turned that unnerving gaze back on me.
“Virgin?”
I licked my suddenly dry lips and shook my head. “I’m not anymore.”
He closed his eyes briefly before opening them back up and looking at me with a pained expression.
“Baby, why didn’t you tell me?”
I shrugged and peered down at the bedsheets, but that wasn’t any better, considering I had gotten blood on them. I moved my eyes back to him. The sunlight made him appear almost ethereal.
“I wasn’t really thinking about it. And it’s not really important.”
“Not important?” he asked, his voice sharp. He ran his fingers through his blond hair, messing it up a little. I was convinced then that the man didn’t have a bad look. I licked my lips and tried to focus on the conversation at hand.
He was… frustrated.
