“Tell me about it.”
“He knows it’s you, and he’s so mad at me. He knows your family lives here and he brought up Joshua in a way that made me think he was planning to hurt him and maybe your brother and sister-in-law. I couldn’t stand it if anything happened to them because of me.
“Nothing will,” he replied calmly as he kept caressing her face.
“How do you know?” She pushed upon her elbows, then sat upright with her back supported by the arm of the couch.
“I just do. Did he hit you anywhere else?” He picked up the ice pack that had fallen on the floor while she’d been asleep, and stood up. “Did you want me to get you some ice from the freezer while this gets cold again?”
Mia tugged at his hand. “It’s okay—just leave it alone.”
He eased back down and shifted back against the seat cushions, crossing one leg over the other before putting her feet up on his thigh. He turned to her, a light smile playing on his lips.
“When Vic hit me, I knew I had to defend myself.” She scratched Pumpkin under her chin. “This one helped me out by distracting him, then I moved in. I think I might have broken his nose. I never thought I’d be using my fighting skills to defend myself from my own brother.”
Army’s eyes shone with pride. “You are so fuckin’ awesome—my incredible, sexy wildcat. Don’t feel guilty about what you did. No dude should ever hit a chick.”
“I don’t feel guilty, but I do feel sad about it.” She shook her head slightly. “I guess I just feel bad that my whole family is so screwed up.”
“Youdidn’t make it that way. Look at what you’ve accomplished for yourself. Don’t blame yourself for what your brothers do.”
“Now you sound like my therapist.” Mia shifted on the couch. “When Vic threatened your family, I thought that maybe it’d be simpler if we backed off a bit. It’s no longer just about us—it’s your club and family. I don’t know.” Mia looked down at the cushion, picking off imaginary lint.
Army brought his hand to her face and slowly traced from her forehead to her jawline with his fingers, then gently ran his thumb over her bottom lip. “I want to always be with you,” he said in a low voice.
Mia tilted her head back, and he leaned forward and peppered her skin with kisses. She moaned softly. “It just seems like everything is against us.”
“Only if we let it be,” he said, his husky tones sending tingles down her spine.
Her heart twisted.Things are already so complicated. I fear for Army and his family.She reached out and stroked his cheek, the stubble rough like sandpaper against her fingertips. Tenderness shone in his eyes, and she knew that no matter what happened she could never be without him in her life. He was the ache between her legs, the shivers on her skin, and the love in her heart.
“I love you, babe. No matter what goes down, you need to remember that and never fuckin’ doubt it.” He nipped the sensitive part of her skin, right below her earlobe.
“And I love you so much. I can’t find the words to tell you how much,” she whispered.
His gaze smoldered with fire as he stared fixedly at her. And then they were kissing, tongues touching. He looped his arm around her waist and pulled her up a bit as he bent down, deepening a kiss that made her toes curl. Mia clung to him as though he was the only thing grounding her in their topsy-turvy world.
“Mia,” he whispered as he nipped her bottom lip before plunging back into the recesses of her mouth.
Army’s hands were all over her body, and she reached down and grabbed one of them, slipping it under her skirt. Surprise flickered in his blues, then they darkened as he pulled her panties aside and slid his finger over her hardening nub. His touch lit her up like a blazing torch under him, and she moaned. She pulled at his belt, fumbling with the buckle until he gently pushed her hands away and undid it himself, then he unzipped his jeans and tugged them past his hips, his shaft poking against her flesh. Her fingers curved around his hardness, and she squeezed tight as her thumb glided over the smooth top of his dick.
“Fuck, baby,” he groaned, as he lowered his head and pressed his lips to the base of her throat before they coasted over her collarbone. “I’ve missed your touch,” he rasped, his words smothered against her skin. He gripped the hem of her shirt and shoved it up under her chin. Mia held her breath as she watched him pull down the cups of her ivory bra, the golden light from the setting sun spilling over her breasts.
“Baby,” he said, his voice thick. Army covered one of her nipples with his mouth and sucked hard while his finger flicked the other one.
A deep groan crawled up her throat and escaped from her parted lips as she arched her back. As he played with her breasts, she slid her hand slowly up and down his dick, loving the way his breathing quickened. Wild tremors sparked through her when he pulled away from her, then looked down and watched as she stroked him. She reached under and tickled his balls and he stilled her hand. Her gaze snapped up to his.
“You’re too good at this, babe,” he said.
Suddenly, they tugged and pulled at each other’s clothes, constantly kissing and caressing. He hovered over her, his gaze locked on hers. “I need to be inside you,” he growled.
Army didn’t wait, and she didn’t want him to.
Mia spread her legs open: she was wet and wild and ready to have him. Placing his hands on top of the couch’s arm, he plunged into her and everything locked into place as they clung to each other, fused together by their raw passion and love, never wanting to let go. Over and over he thrust into her, grinding his pelvic bone against her pulsing nub. Their sweat-slickened bodies moved together in a faster and more-crazed rhythm with skin slapping against skin. Mia clutched his shoulders as she arched her back, rocking her hips tight to him. His thick cock filled every inch of her, and her tight walls clenched around him.
“Fuck, baby,” he panted.
With a scream, she came, wrapping her legs tighter around his waist as she bucked and writhed from waves of ecstasy that crashed over her body.
