Donnie

T he hell she is going on a date, I will kill any man who tries to touch what’s mine.

Some men say that but in truth, they will most likely just kick someone's ass.

When I say it, I mean it? I walk up to her until we are almost touching.

Fuck, she smells like peaches and sin and the way she just sticks out her chin at me, not backing down has me wanting to pull her flat against my body and devour that sassy mouth of hers before turning her around and spanking her little ass for tempting me.

Ever since she walked in my front door last year, I have been in a constant state of arousal.

Her luscious body would bring any man to his knees and her fiery temper has me rock hard.

I want her like my next breath, but she is too young.

too innocent, and way too sweet to be with a man like me.

Be with a man that wants to do such filthy things to her tempting body.

At first, I thought that my attraction to Verity was just because of her amazing body but over time the lust turned into love.

I fell in love with the small things. The way she laughs at her own jokes, her ability to find joy in the little things.

How she seems to put everyone else first. The way she seems to know just what to say when I have had a hard day at work.

Most of all is the way she is with Victoria.

She treats her like she is her own. My baby girl loves her as much as I do.

I’ve spent the last year thinking that I can't risk losing her.

I need her in my life too much to risk losing it all if we didn't work out.

I would rather love her from afar then lose her altogether.

Simply accepting the fact that I could settle for friendship, now none of that seems to matter.

I didn't claim her and now she is going out with another man.

As if there is a magnetic pull between us she leans in closer to me and licks her lips.

When she feels my hard length against her soft stomach, she gasps.

“Why are you fighting this so hard, D? You have to know how I feel about you. How can you just so easily walk away from us, away from what we could be?”

If she knew the things I wanted to do to her body she'd run for the hills.

I don't know what to say to her because she is right I do know how she feels and fuck if I don't feel the same way.

Maybe it is time I finally tell her how I really feel maybe just maybe this is a kind of love that will last a lifetime and maybe it is worth the risk to lose everything, so I can have it all.

I lift my hand to cup her cheek and tell her all the things I have been keeping to myself for the last year, only to have the moment ruined when someone clears their throat and the moment is gone.

I drop my hand and take a step back, looking over to the doorway and seeing my brother giving us a curious look.

“Ah… am I interrupting something?”

Verity turns to look at him and opens her mouth, but I answer before she can. “Yes, I was just telling Verity that you’re going to watch V so I can take her on a date.”

She whips her head around so fast that she sends her hair flying and almost falls over one of her fuck me heels. I quickly sneak my arm around her and bring her flat against my body. Her nails digging into my forearms .

“Wh... wh... What?” She stutters out as her head tilts back to look at me, her big green eyes are wide with confusion and hope.

I can't help the small growl that comes out at the feeling of her finally being in my arms. Jesus her body feels amazing against mine.

How did I keep my hands off of her for so long?

“Bro, can you keep V overnight? We’ll come get her in the morning, sound good?” I don't take my eyes off of my girl as I ask. Well it comes out more of a statement than a question.

“Sure.”

“Good. I’ll see you later. Thanks.” He turns around.

“About fucking time.” I hear him mumble as he walks away.

“Sunshine, if anyone is going to take you on a date it is going to be me.”

“What?” She asks again. I chuckle and lean down until our noses are almost touching.

“You heard me, Kitten. I have wasted enough time denying us what we want. I am taking you on a date then home where I plan on showing you just how much I want you. I am tired of hurting us both because of my fears.”

It is time I claim my woman and show her exactly where she belongs.

“Oh…” She says on a shaky breath.

“Come on Sunshine, since we are all dressed up how about we go somewhere fancy?” She shakes her head getting a suspicious look on her face before she pushes on my chest to get out of my hold. I let her go and she steps back folding her arms.

“Why are you doing this? You didn’t want me before. Now you're acting like everything is fine. Like you haven't been pushing me away for the last year.”

I just had to tell her the truth. “Because I don't want you to go out with anyone else.” I don't know what I was expecting, but when her eyes turn into slits and she glares at me, I know I’ve said something wrong .

“Oh, so you decided that you only want me when someone else does? Well, you know what? Fuck you Donnie. I've had enough of your pretending. If you want me then you better damn well be willing to catch me.” She says before walking out the door.

Fucking hell, I love her fiery temper. I walk out behind her catching up to her at the end of the hall. I grab her arm causing her to gasp as I walk us into the first room I see which turns out to be the laundry room.

“What do you think you are doing?” She growls at me and tries to slap my hand away.

I growl back and let go of her arm only to grab her hips and pick her up, placing her on the washing machine.

Before she can close her legs, I step in between them grabbing a fist full of her hair.

Lightly pulling it back until she is looking at me.

She moans softly, her eyes full of lust.

“You, Verity King, have been mine ever since you walked through my front door. My heart has always known you were mine. It just took my head a little while to catch up.” I can’t take it anymore. I need her sweet lips on mine. Before I can change my mind, my lips are on hers.
