Kon's eyes slowly move back and forth between my own, then he looks down at the patched-up wound. A small smile flickers onto his face when he looks back at me. "Good job."
"Thanks."
"I will not leave you alone, Rose," Kon says quietly. "It is never my intention."
"No one everintendsto die," I mutter. "But it would kind of suck a lot if you did so maybe don't push yourself out of broken windows anymore, okay?"
Kon curls one finger underneath my chin and leans in, pressing a hard kiss to my lips. "I am not going anywhere. You do not have to worry about that."
But I worry.
As much as I shouldn't care, I do.
Not only is he the only thing standing in the way of Mathew slaughtering my entire family, he's the only thing keeping me here in this new life of privacy and freedom.
It's addicting how much he trusts me, how much affection he gives me and how, for the first time in my life, he gives without asking anything in return.
Even before the trouble with the Vasiliev brothers, my father always did things for me so I would be in his debt.
When Kon leans back, I lean in. Before I know it, my hands slide up his chest to his neck and I pull him back into the kiss as tenderly as I can.
All quiet concern about his wound, however, melts out of my mind as he suddenly dips and grabs the backs of my thighs, and lifts me up.
In the same second, he spins me and places me down on the counter while pressing between my spread thighs.
From there, things turn frantic.
Our mouths wave together in a rapid exchange of kisses with minimal time for a breath, his hands drag my dress up to my waist while my hands graze all the way down his chest to his belt.
Three twists of my fingers and the leather slides free, the zipper follows, and his half-hard cock rests in my palm as I drag it out of his boxers.
He nearly died. I need to make sure he always comes home to me.
More than that, I want him.
Seeing him standing here with blood running down his body was terrifying.
That numb sensation in my chest hasn't faded, but it lessens with each frantic kiss.
"Are you sure?" Kon grunts against my lips as his hips punch forward into my hand.
"I'm not wearing any underwear," I whisper back, grinning as our eyes meet.
Kon kisses me so hard I grow dizzy, and he wraps one arm around my back while I scoot forward on the counter and wrap my legs around his waist. The moment he enters me, peace sweeps through my chest and unknots all the tension in my gut. My eyes roll back, my core clenches and I tighten my legs around his hips.
"Fuck," I gasp, wrapping my arms around his shoulders. "Oh mygod."
"Rose," Kon moans out and he ends up with his face buried in my neck, lavishing attention over my throat as he starts to fuck me.
I cradle his head, stroking my fingers through his hair and moaning softly with every hard thrust.
It's fast and messy with clothes catching on each other, me sliding back and forth over the counter and Kon alternating between sucking my throat and biting at my shoulder.
Pleasure builds fast, faster than I'm prepared for and as I curl my toes, one of my shoes slips off my heel and falls to the ground.
I laugh and gasp, grunting with each hard thrust that drives my pleasure higher and higher.
Heat floods through me, hot goosebumps rush over my skin, and Kon's teeth sink into my shoulder as he suddenly comes without much warning.
