My heart thuds heavily. “Why not?”

She wrings her hands, her fingers trembling. “Because my heart wasn’t his. Fuck, it wasn’t even there with me. It stayed here with you.” She presses her hands to my chest and pushes me away. “Because you fucking ruined me. You wrecked me. You wormed your way so deep under my skin, you’re the only one I feel, the only one I want. It’s all your fault.”

A rush of adrenaline zips through my body, and my reality shifts, twisting and turning until all the pieces are slotted into place and the puzzle is complete. The gravity, the pull, the destiny. It all led us here, to this very moment.

There’s still a chance. Please, let there be a chance we can fix this.

“It’s not my fault.” I grab her wrists and pull her against me. “It’s because we belong to each other. You are mine, and I’m yours, and that’s the only way it will ever be.”

“You really think that’s enough?” she whispers, growing soft in my arms.

I hold her, staring deeply into her eyes. “Yes. I love you, Mia. I’ve never stopped loving you. I never will.”

She places her palm over my heart, the ghost of a smile tugging at her lips when she feels how wildly it’s beating.

“I love you too,” she finally whispers.

Gently, I place my lips on hers and hope to hell she lets me in.

CHAPTER 41

i’ve always been yours

Our kiss isslow at first, but the moment Mia parts her lips, letting me in, all restraint disappears. We’re nothing but heat, desperation, and need. She gives back as good as she gets. She’s always been like that, and I fucking love it. I’m not the only one claiming what’s mine. In this moment, she’s reclaiming what’s been hers for a very long time.

She fists my T-shirt, pulling me closer as I fumble with her zipper. We only break apart so she can shuck off her jeans and I can peel her shirt off. Then, in the middle of my living room, she stands proudly in her black bra and thong, eyes glistening with desire. Her hands rest on my hips, fingers looped through my belt loops.

I take her in, and my fucking head spins. The soft swells of her breasts are full and inviting. Her waist is narrow, her stomach taut. Everything about her is made for me. Her body was built for me to touch, to claim, to worship.

She pulls me closer, and when the backs of her legs hit the couch, she falls into it, dragging me with her. I brace myself, my hands on either side of her head.

“Take me,” she whispers, pupils blown, nails clawing at the waistband of my jeans. “Now.”

I force myself to my feet and strip quickly, tossing my clothes on the floor with hers. I grab her thong, and instead of taking it off, I tear it apart. She gasps, but I swallow the sound, covering her mouth with mine. I kiss her again, nestling between her thighs and grinding my hard-on over her cunt.

Her heat almost does me in. As I suck on her throat, leaving a mark for the world to see, she moans. The sound is enough to send tingles down my spine. I lean back and take my aching cock out of my briefs, she bites her bottom lip, trying to hide her smile.

I grin back at her, slowly locking my hand around her throat. “Mine,” I growl.

“Yours.”

Her pulse flutters against my palm as I squeeze tighter. Her lips part and her eyes shine, tempting me, begging me. With my other hand, I angle my cock and bury myself inside her in one rough thrust. Her body arches, and a ragged moan escapes her.

I fuck her long and hard, and she meets me stroke for stroke, taking me deeper. I pull her bra down, releasing her full breasts, pinching her pebbled nipples. Mouth watering, I circle my tongue around her nipple then suck on it, sinking my teeth into her soft flesh.

“Yes… Fuck, yes…” she moans, writhing under me.

With my forehead pressed to hers, I bury myself inside her to the hilt, my balls slapping against her skin. “You like that, baby? You like me ruining you.”

She digs her nails into my forearms, clawing at me, driving me out of my mind.

My control snaps, and I release her throat so I can clutch her hips and pound into her relentlessly. My fingers dig into her flesh, my teeth leaving marks on her body. Her moans echo off the walls as her tits bounce. I make sure she feels every inch, anything to erase the time she spent without me.
