“I don’t…I can’t…”
“Yes, you can,” he insisted. “Spread your legs and look at me in the eyes while I fill you again, Nina.”
“Yes…all right.” Her voice was a pained whisper as she parted her thighs. “Just please…don’t stop. I need…need this, Reddix. I need you.”
“I need you too, sweetheart,” he said roughly, feeling like she’d taken his heart in her soft little hand and twisted it. “You don’t know how much.”
“Reddix…” she murmured, biting her lip. “Please…now.”
“Now,” he agreed softly and reaching down, he found her entrance with the head of his cock once more. Taking both her hands, he pinned them securely over her head. Then, holding her eyes with his, he thrust into her again, long and slow and hard and deep…so damn deep.
Nina moaned softly, and he leaned down eagerly and covered her mouth with his, swallowing the sounds of her passion. This time she didn’t try to deny him the right to kiss her. Instead, she surrendered completely, parting her lips for him as she had parted her thighs, giving herself up to him without reservation.
Reddix nearly groaned aloud at her sweet submission. He plundered her mouth with his as he thrust deep and hard into her tight, hot channel. He felt like a greedy bastard, but he couldn’t help himself—he took everything she gave and demanded more. She was everything he’d ever wanted, everything he’d ever needed, and he couldn’t get enough of her.
When the kiss finally broke, he pulled back to see that she was staring up at him, her eyes bright with unshed tears.
“Nina?” he asked hoarsely, slowing his rhythm. “Are you all right? Am I hurting you?”
“N-no.” Her voice was soft—on the edge of breaking. “I just…I can’t…”
“Just stay with me,” he urged, kissing her swiftly again. “This is not just a cheap fuck, Nina. This is me inside you. The two of us together—the way it ought to be.”
“The way it ought to be,” she echoed softly. And blinking away the tears, she held his gaze unflinchingly.
Reddix couldn’t help thinking how brave she was—how beautiful and perfect and fearless. Gazing into her lovely eyes as he moved within her, he felt something shift inside himself. Some deep, fundamental part of himself he couldn’t name had somehow altered because of her.
Never going to be the same after this, he thought, holding her eyes with his. Never going to be able to go back to my old life on Tarsia and forget this—forget you, sweetheart. You changed me. Changed me forever just by opening to me. Just by giving me what I don’t deserve—yourself.
The words I love you, hovered on his lips, but he swallowed them back. What good would it do to say them now? He would only hurt her more, and what he needed to concentrate on now was healing her, neutralizing the bonding fruit she’d eaten.
Leaning down, he took her lips in a low slow kiss and pumped his cock deep into her sweet, hot pussy. Tight—Gods she was so tight. He was losing himself in her. In her beautiful body, in her gorgeous eyes. It was more than he could stand, and though he wanted to make this last forever, he could feel his orgasm hovering just on the horizon.
“Nina,” he groaned softly. “I’m close, sweetheart. So Goddess damned close…”
“Me too,” she whispered. “Please, Reddix, I want…want to come with you inside me.”
“That’s what I want too.” Moving swiftly, he sat up on his knees without pulling out of her. Hooking his arms under her legs, he pulled her hips up onto his thighs. He put her legs over his shoulders, changing the angle of his approach, opening her up, going even deeper into her tight, sweet cleft.
Nina moaned. “God, I thought you were deep before…”
“You can always go deeper,” Reddix assured her in a low growl. Though he wasn’t as close to her face, he found he liked the new position a lot. Now he could see the way she bit her lip and watch the way her breasts shook with each thrust as he pumped into her pussy. Also, he had much better access to her slippery folds.
Reaching down to the place where they were joined, he slid the pad of his thumb against the side of her swollen pink clit. Nina moaned and jerked under him, her eyes going wide.
“Oh God…God, yes.”
Reddix continued to caress her, using a slow, light, sliding motion to give her just enough stimulation. At the same time, he continued to thrust deep inside her, never letting up or stopping the rhythm he’d started. He wanted to make her come again, was determined to feel her spasming around him before he let himself go inside her.
