He kissed her deeply, his body fractured, wanting her to collect the pieces and fit them back together however she wished.
When they stopped panting, lying exhausted in the quiet room, she said, “You forgot to yell surprise when you barged in earlier.” Her laughing voice dripped with awe and completion.
“I saved it for this moment.” He shifted to the side, leaving himself inside her but removing some of his weight. “I figured I’d give you the best orgasm you’ve ever had, and then say it…Surprise.”
“You’re under the impression that was the best orgasm I’ve ever had? Not overly full of yourself, are you?”
He laughed. “Confident, there’s a difference. And yes, that was the best. I figure if I’ve never had better, and I’ve had way more experience in these matters, then it must rock your world, too.”
“I haven’t experimented much. I hadn’t realized that fact until the people in this house opened my eyes.”
Stefan laughed. “Well, now you have me to experiment on.”
Her arms, resting on his back, still wanting that closeness, momentarily tightened. “How long can you stay?”
His eyes drooped, consciousness fleeting. He was so damn relaxed, yet the magic pumped within his blood. He’d never felt this truly alive before, especially while also never feeling this complete and utterly satisfied.
The woman did nothing but complicate his life, but for all that, he would never walk away. Not from her. He’d have to make some decisions, but no one else was getting her. She was his. End of story. The question was, how did he both keep her and his duty? How did he compromise to keep her near?#p#分页标题#e#
He only had two months to figure it out before the Regional got there, but it would have to wait another turn of the sun because he was in no mood for thinking at the moment.
Answering her question, he said, “All day. If you’ll have me.”
“Hmm. In that case, can you move off my leg a fraction so it doesn’t fall asleep before I do?”
He kissed her cheek. “Of course. We’ll need to speak about what I just did, but it has to wait. I can barely keep my eyes open.”
“Hmm.” She was asleep before he’d finished adjusting.
Yup, she was gonna play hell on his life, but there was nothing for it now. The decision had been made in that first second his eyes had touched hers under the streetlight those few months ago. It was amazing he’d resisted this long.
Fate was such a tricky bitch.
Chapter 7
I came awake with a soft kiss brushing my lips. I threw my arms around the culprit—a large, muscled hunk—and smiled good morning…or evening, rather. He wore the same clothes as when he’d barged in, but seemed more relaxed. The stress lines on his face had softened, making him almost hard to look at he was so danged handsome. I said so.
He smiled his flawless smile, making me blink in wonder at the rest of the transformation into super-hot.
“To think, I’ve hated having women in my bed. Turns out, I just hated having the wrong ones,” he said quietly with soft eyes.
Warmth filled my midsection. I smiled like a fool.
“I have to go to work,” he said tenderly. “I’ll see you close to dawn.”
“You’re going to spend the night with me again? How’d I get so lucky? Or are you attempting to take a pet…which you very well know that—”
He claimed her lips, his kiss deep and passionate. “We still need to talk about what I did. You might not think you’re lucky by the end of the night.”
I tilted my head, surveying his suddenly serious face, and then falling into those dark eyes. “Cryptic.”
He straightened up, tall and broad, a man of strength and power. Who would’ve thought he could be so gentle. “I’ll talk to you later, love. Leave that link open, I want you present always.”
“Bossy.” I turned and glanced at the clock. Time to get up. Damn.
“Sasha.”
I waved him away and climbed out of bed. “I’m going to give you a firm maybe on that one.”
He growled and slapped my butt. “Talk to you later.” Before he walked out the ruined door, he paused. “Oh, and…I’ll fix this.” His head nodded to the broken hinges.
“By the morning.”
“Morning-ish. Also, be easy on Charles. I think I scared him.”
“When you were freaking out for no discernible reason, you mean?”
“There was a discernible reason—“
“Which you will explain.”
“—that I don’t intend to apologize for—“
“But you will, anyway.”
“—but, yes, when my…dander was up last night. He got the brunt of it.”
