After kissing her until her brain was mush, he worked his way down her body, leaving a trail of kisses down the center of her until he reached her core.

“Spread for me, Ruby,” he said, softly.

Her chest heaving with anticipation, Ruby slowly bent her knees and spread her thighs, displaying what he wanted.

His eyes glowed that beautiful light as he dropped between them and pressed his lips to the top of her slit. After giving her clit the sweetest kiss, he moved lower and slid his tongue as deep as it would go into her core.

Ruby moaned and reached down, taking hold of the hair on the top of his head and holding him to her as he proceeded to fuck her with his tongue.

“Fuck,” he growled against her. “I love the way you taste. Could spend my life right here.” Then he kissed his way back up to her clit.

“Rebel,” she said and gasped as he sucked on her clit and slid two fingers into her core, curling them just right, and took over where his tongue had left off.

For ten minutes, he brought her to the brink over and over, and would back off, only to start again. Her grip on his hair got tighter and tighter each time. He must have finally taken the hint, because he really got to work and didn’t stop when her core clenched around his fingers.

Pleasure coursed through her body, stealing her breath, and her hips had a mind of their own as she ground against his face and beard.

When she came back down from the high, Rebel lifted his head and grinned at her as he ran a hand over his face and beard. Crawling up her body, he uttered, “I love it when you do that… rub yourself against my face. And I fucking love how your cheeks get pink when I make you come.” He bent down and kissed across one of her cheeks as one of his hands cupped her breast and gave it a gentle squeeze.

“Rebel,” she began, wrapping her legs around his hips, “if you don’t get a condom and fuck me right now, I’m going to do it myself.”

Rebel chuckled as he reached over and grabbed a condom from the bedside table. “My woman is greedy.”

“I just know what I want.”

“Good thing I like giving you what you want.”

She watched as he rolled the condom on. “Good thing.”

As he pressed his lips to hers, he lined his cock up with her pussy and slowly slid inside. After bottoming out, he pulled out and slid back in, a little faster. Once he had a steady rhythm going, he broke the kiss and said against her lips, “I love you, Brianna Cooke. I’ll always be by your side.”

Ruby wrapped her arms around his shoulders. “I love you, too, and I think I like having you there at my side.”

He spent the next twenty minutes gazing into her eyes, giving her soft and sweet kisses, before following that up with deep ones, but his rhythm remained the same. Reaching between them, he used his thumb to caress her clit until she threw her head back and cried out his name, as her body was overcome with pleasure and the love he was showing her.

“Yes,” Rebel breathed and dropped his head. Sucking on his mating mark, intensifying her orgasm, he slammed inside her and trembled as his own pleasure rushed over him.

Chapter thirty

The next day… Rebel

Rebelkepthiseyeson Ruby as she prepared herself for the carnival. He knew she was conflicted and still upset about what happened at her townhouse. He tried to talk her out of going to the carnival, but he didn’t push too hard.

He had pressed his luck when he practically demanded Ruby take the day before off and relax at home. She had shot that idea down and made it very clear that she needed the schedule and normalcy of her life. Rebel was going to challenge that, but she added it would look suspicious if she took a day off. The last thing they needed was people wondering what happened to make her take a day off, especially after she had been so adamant about not taking leave after the spray-paint incident.

He had to concede her point. Recognizing that Ruby was a grown woman who had been taking care of herself for a long time, Rebel had kissed her and followed her to work. He stayed in the parking lot until the twins showed up and camped out in the corner of the lot on their lawn chairs.

Ruby had yet to comment on the presence of various Howlers at the library. He doubted she was oblivious to their presence, but she hadn’t mentioned it. Maybe she just recognized that it was his way of compromising. If she wanted to work, he was okay with that, but he was keeping her safe until the situation calmed down.

Even though he knew she was capable of deciding what was right for her, he was still worried about how she was going to handle being at the carnival. All the people and noise were bound to be a lot.

“Are you sure you want to go?” Leaning against the door jamb to the bathroom, he watched her as she pulled her hair back in a ponytail and secured it.

“Yes, Rebel. I need to be there. It is to benefit the library,which I work for, and it’s because of me that the library needs the fundraising in the first place.”

“Ruby,” he admonished, “it’snotyour fault. It’s that bitch Sharon White’s and Niles Flynn’s fault, along with whatever band of idiots decided to take up their misguided cause.”

She nodded. “That doesn’t mean I feel less responsible.”
