Page 114 of Healing Conviction
A spark of irritation had him rebelling against the question. He’d told her exactly how he felt time and again, and she’d given him nothing but a dying declaration, which didn’t fucking count in his book. People said all kinds of shit before they died. He was tempted to argue but her pleading eyes begged him to answer.
Curling into her tight sheath again, he let the head drag over her G-spot, watching as her eyelids tried to flutter closed. But she maintained eye contact. He did it again… and again, hope rising in his chest, when he realized she was consciously refusing to look away.
“Nora… are we still talking about just sex?”
She shook her head slowly and bit her lip. “No… more than just sex.”
“More than a fling?”
She nodded. “Much more… I’m asking… I’m asking about all of it.”
“Everything?”
She gave him a genuine smile. “Everything.”
His hand curved around her hip while he wrapped his other underneath her arm to grip her small shoulder, careful not to aggravate the scrapes on her back. The hold locked her onto him, forcing her entire body to roll with him as he punctuated each phrase with every thrust inside her.
“In that case… I’m an all-or-nothing guy. So… I want it all. All day… every day. For the rest of our days,” she moaned while her red lip turned white under the pressure from her teeth. “Forever.”
Tears sparkled in her eyes. Her grin widened and his heart stalled out completely before she spoke again.
“Forever…” she whispered. “Good. ‘Cause that’s how long I’ll love you too.”
“Pix—”
“You’re everything to me, too, Drake. I fell in love with the idea of you while you were in a coma. This man who would give upeverythingfor me, even his life. And I didn’t deserve that sacrifice—”
“Nora—”
She covered his mouth with her hand and shook her head. “Please, let me finish.”
He nodded slowly, and she sighed with a soft smile.
“I fell in love, even though I didn’t know you. That’s all it took. Then you woke up. And I realized just how dangerous you actually were. To me, to all the wrong convictions and beliefs I had twisted up in my mind. I was dying to give you everything, to tell you everything, to open up and share everything with you. Because being around you made mewantto give you everything. I was terrified of that, and worried about what would be left of me.”
He bit his tongue to stop himself from telling her that he would never abuse the trust she gave him, but she beat him to the punch.
“Then… then I slowly realized over the past few days that I’d given myself to the wrong people and my fears could be healed with the right person. You would never take more from me than I wanted to give. Heck, you nearly died for me and didn’t even know me.
“Which meant the man I’d fallen in love with already gave me everything without expecting anything in return. The least I could do is take the risk and do the same. So… here it goes. Drake, I promise to give you everything forever, as long as you love me forever.”
His smile stretched across his face as he poured his soul into her gaze. “Get ready for forever, baby, because there’s no way I’m settling for less.”
She grabbed his shoulders before crushing her soft lips to his. When his jaw fell open in surprise, she dove her tongue inside while melding her entire body to his.
Her kiss was flavored with syrup and surrender, and goddamn if that didn’t taste sweet.
After a few moments of loving her lips, his cock twitched impatiently, reminding him that they hadn’t moved in too damn long. She must’ve gotten the message too, and began to ride him slowly, moaning her pleasure into his mouth. He moved the hand gripping her shoulder to clutch her hair as he sank inside her. Together, they began a new rhythm with every thrust. The strands tangled in between his fingertips as he tugged her closer and picked up the pace, helping them finally reach their peak together.
Even as they went faster, she met him stroke for stroke, her soft walls squeezing him tighter and tighter as her pussy fluttered and tensed against his bare cock. She broke their kiss and whispered against his lips.
“Drake, I’m gonna come soon, please… please don’t stop this time.”
“Like I could, Pix. Like I fucking could.” He swallowed and kissed her lips softly, loving the way she was giving in to him. “I love you, Nora. I could never stop.”
“Good.” She leaned back and met his eyes. “I don’t want you to.”
He plunged inside her while her nails dug into his shoulders. Her inner muscles constricted the length of his cock, nearly to his breaking point. When he focused on curving his tip against her G-spot, her moans and whimpers increased in speed too. The base of his spine tingled and his cock swelled, ready to explode. He gritted his teeth as his thrusts became harder to maintain rhythm until Nora’s cries peaked and her entire body tensed in his embrace. All the while, her eyes focused on him while she convulsed on his cock, sending him into oblivion with her.
