“I was pissed, Livy. That’s all those words are. I can’t promise, I won’t be an asshole again, but I will promise to keep in mind that the woman I love is involved and handle you with care from this moment forward,” he vows, shifting his weight to one arm and using his other to tuck some of my hair behind my ear.
I let his words settle inside of me. I believe them. Despite everything, I believe him. I take a breath and look up at the man who just minutes ago told me that he loved me. I didn’t allow myself to truly react, but now those words settle. I close my eyes, storing up my strength, and do my best to get control of my emotions. “Blade, there are things you don’t know. Things I haven’t shared. I’m not really good at this kind of thing because of it.”
I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t to have him give me a smile that can only be described as sexy as hell. “Livy, it’s my job to make sure my woman enjoys what we do together.”
“I didn’t think sex should be called a job,” I grumble, making him laugh. All signs of his earlier anger have faded, and I stare up at him in surprise.
“It’s the most enjoyable job ever created and one that I will gladly accept for the rest of my life, Usdi. I will give you so much pleasure and teach you exactly how to please your man. The last thing you should worry about is how good we will be together. I promise you that and all I ask in return is your trust that you are safe with me.”
“I believe that, Blade. Even when we were fighting and your words hurt me, I didn’t fear you. I know the difference between hurt and fear. Plus …”
“Plus?” he prompts.
I fidget with my hands, nervous about my next words, but knowing that Blade deserves to hear them. “I love you, Blade,” I murmur, my heart running away with me as I avoid looking at him.
He puts a finger under my chin and pushes until I’m forced to raise my head. Our gazes lock and he has the most beautiful smile on his face that I’ve ever seen. “Oh, Usdi. You’re never getting away from me now,” he purrs. Then, his lips are on mine.
His kisses are more intense than they’ve ever been before. I’m completely lost in the feel of him, the taste, and the focus he uses with every touch. I’m drowning in his desire for me and my hunger for him. He has me undressed before I truly even understand his intent. When the cool air of the room hits my heated skin, awareness hits me, and I look up at Blade more than a little shell-shocked. I’ve never in my life lost myself as much as I have so far with him.
“Blade,” I whisper, bringing my hands up to hide. He doesn’t let me. He immediately pulls them back down, pinning them against the mattress.
“Don’t ever hide yourself from me, Livy. I won’t allow it. You’re mine.”
“I’m not used to … I’ve never willingly … I mean …”
“Shh,” he breathes. “I’ve got you and you’re safe. You’re always safe with me, Usdi.”
With that promise, his lips come back to mine. I immediately meet his kiss with renewed hunger, my tongue sliding against his. They glide and tease together in perfect harmony and all the while, Blade’s hand is sliding down my body, creating magic as he lets the pads of his fingers move down my neck, and across my breast. His thumb and finger pull and tease my nipple as he swallows down my moan of pleasure. His lips move to my neck, before moving to suck on my earlobe. I whimper as he once again tugs painfully on my nipple.
“Blade,” I cry, feeling hunger like I’ve never felt before in my life.
“You have to be quiet, Livy. You don’t want your father to hear me making love to you, do you?”
“N-N-No,” I moan, biting down on my lip when his naked body caresses against mine. I force my eyes to open and watch as he stares directly at me, while moving down my body.
“Blade …”
“It’s time for me to taste what belongs to me,” he says with a wicked gleam in his eyes, as his hand moves from my breast to between my thighs. I know I’m wet. I can feel the evidence of my hunger for him leaking against the inside of my thighs. I can feel the heat rising in my face as his fingers press between the lips of my pussy. “Open your legs for me, Usdi, I just want to make you feel good.”
I stare into his eyes and open my legs wider. He surprises me by capturing one and moving so that my leg is draped over his shoulder, bent at the knee. I want to question him, but before I can I feel his finger slide through my wetness and search out my clit, rubbing it ever so lightly. It feels so good my entire body vibrates with hunger.
