“You ready?”

Our gazes lock, and I pray she sees it—how much she means to me. That this isn’t a game or a lie. She’s everything I didn’t know I needed. And now she’s mine.

“Please,” she whispers.

I move—slow and deep, grinding my hips so she feelsevery fucking inch. Her mouth drops open, eyes fluttering shut as I push her closer to the edge.

“You were made for me,” I growl against her throat. “Every tight, perfect inch.”

She moans my name over and over, her body tightening around me as she starts to come again.

“That’s it,” I groan, my rhythm faltering. “Soak me, beautiful. Just let go. That’s it.”

She shatters beneath me, fingers gripping my arms, her thighs quaking around my hips as she comes hard, gasping my name.

I thrust once, twice, then lose it—spilling into the condom with a strangled groan, burying my face in her neck.

We’re both shaking, breathless, and absolutely wrecked.

After I catch my breath, I raise my head. “You okay?”

She nods furiously, pulling me down to kiss her. “You feel so good.”

“Not nearly as good as you.”

“Can we do that again?”

I chuckle as I climb off her to dispose of the condom. “Mina, I plan on doing this every day.”

She giggles, cheeks flushed, hair a wild halo around her face—and damn if it doesn’t hit me like a freight train.

I could look at her like this forever. Every messy, perfect inch of her.

I grab a damp towel, cleaning her up gently, dropping soft kisses to her thighs, her belly, anywhere I can reach.

When I crawl back into bed, she turns into me instantly, wrapping her arms around my neck like we’ve done this a thousand times.

I kiss her. Stroke her skin. Whisper how beautiful she is. How proud I am. How lucky.

Because I am. She’s everything.

And I’m completely fucking gone.

Falling on the Sword

Mina

“Morning, beautiful.”

I open my eyes to find Braden perched on the edge of the bed, a smile curling his lips. “Did I oversleep?”

He skates his hand along my arm and leans over to press a kiss to my cheek. “Not at all, but I was craving some coffee.”

“Good idea.” I sit up in bed, flushing when the sheet falls to my waist, revealing my nude body.

But the second I try to snatch it back, Braden stays my hand.
