“Will you stop stopping me, then?” She giggled. I glanced at her, loving every tiny movement on her face. The pretty way her lips tilted up at the edges because she was trying not to belly laugh, the peaceful way her eyes were half closed. She looked like a goddess. And she was all mine.
I was a lucky son of a bitch.
Shifting my weight, I leant over her, keeping my weight on my hands. “I am not just here for your sexual gratification, Kate,” I admonished, but I couldn’t keep the smile from my face.
“You’re not?” Several emotions swept across her face in quick succession. “In that case, I should probably go.” She burst into fits of giggles.
“Woman,” I growled out. I liked her teasing, but that was enough. I didn’t want to talk anymore. Kissing her seemed like a much better thing to be doing with our mouths. So I pressed my lips against hers, my tongue sliding into her mouth.
Instantly, she kissed me back, her arms pulling me down more firmly on top of her.
God, I wanted to get lost in her. Sink so far into her that she forgot her own name and screamed only mine.
“You’re killing me, Kate.” With a groan, I rolled off of her, throwing my arm over my face.
“You could just give in.” She smiled sweetly, and I groaned again, louder this time. She was killing me. With her sweet face and come to bed eyes and that body that just seemed to beg me to kiss it.
“You need to rest.”
She turned, and it was her turn to groan. “I need you, Legacy. I’m not dying and I’m not made of glass. You’re not going to break me.”
Turning on my side, I let my forehead rest against hers. This close, she was blurry, but it didn’t matter. I had memorised every feature a long time ago.
“Oh, I’m going to ruin you, Kate. Have you begging and pleading and even then, I’m not going to stop until you’ve cum one last time.”
She exhaled, her lashes fluttering. “Yes, please.”
I walked into that one. And how was I meant to tell her no when she was looking at me like she was?
“I’ll make you a deal.” Softly, I ran my hand up her thigh. She trembled under my touch. Her legs parted to give me easy access, but I didn’t go that far. “If you sleep and rest tonight, then tomorrow…”
Her eyes twinkled. “Tomorrow you will what?”
“I’ll wake you up with the best orgasm of your life.”
“You will, huh?”
Pushing at her shoulders until she was on her back with her head in the pillows. “Yes, but only if you close your eyes and sleep now.”
She did what I asked instantly, and I found myself smiling down at her.
“You promise?”
“Cross my heart, babe.” I settled next to her, pulling her into my arms. “Tomorrow I am going to…” I trailed off as Kate’s soft snores filled the quiet room and I smiled. “Just sleep, baby girl.” Smoothing back her hair, I kissed her head.
I was tired as well. But I didn’t want to drift off. I wanted to lie and watch her as she did. I’d almost lost her. How close I’d actually come to never holding her again filled me with dread. If I had my way, I would never let her out of my sight ever again.
I didn’t know how long I lay with her in my arms, but I had almost dropped off when I heard a soft rap of knuckles on the door. They were so quiet that at first I thought I had imagined them.
Until it happened again.
Untangling myself from Kate’s arms, I swung open the door just enough to see Duke staring back at me. He didn’t seem fazed that I was naked.
“Tell me.” I knew there had to be a good reason if he was knocking on my door in the middle of the night.
“We’ve found him.”
Oh, it was a good reason alright. There couldn’t be a better one. Glancing over my shoulder at Kate, I found myself smiling.
