Chapter 23

Ledger

I stare into the soft-blue eyes of Posey Dixon, the woman I’ve completely fallen in love with.

I know I haven’t known her long, but who says there needs to be a time limit on love?

I say, fuck that.

I think I fell in love with Posey the minute I met her. The moment the need to protect her surged through me with an intensity I had never felt before.

I meant what I said, I won’t let Bane hurt her. I knew there had to be more to the story of why she was marrying him.

Posey is too good. Too pure.

I kiss her, holding her body against me as my dick comes to life. Thoughts swirl through my mind as I bring her closer, letting my teeth sink into the soft flesh of her shoulder.

She stares at me. “Take all my troubles away. Tell me we’ll deal with everything after I feel you inside me once more.”

“I’ll deal with everything,” I say, bringing her tits closer to my face.

She stops me, cupping my cheeks with both hands, moving my face so she can stare into my eyes. “Don’t shut me out. I need to help you deal with everything. I need to be involved.”

I hate this idea. “I don’t want you to get hurt.”

“If something were to happen to you, I’d never be able to recover from that pain.”

I smooth back her hair. “Nothing’s going to happen to me.”

She rocks her body against mine. “Promise me,” she whispers.

I can’t make this promise. Sure, I could easily tell her I promise, but I don’t know if I’d be able to keep it or not. So, instead of making her the promise, I kiss her. I kiss her with everything I’ve got.

Everything I have.

I kiss her like the whole world is burning down around me. I kiss her like she’s the oxygen I need to survive.

She grips onto me like I’m her anchor. She moans into the kiss, and I reposition her body, placing the head of my cock at her entrance. I sink her down onto me, groaning as she takes me inch by inch.

“Fuck, you feel so damn good,” I hiss out.

She places her hands on my shoulders as she rocks against me, causing the water to splash onto the floor.

I don’t give a fuck, because this feels too good. Too magical.

“Nothing’s going to happen to me,” I tell her, staring into her soft-blue eyes.

“Promise me,” she whispers as my dick pushes deeper inside her.

We both groan out in unison once I’m fully seated inside her, and she moves her hips, testing the feel of it.

“You’re so fucking pretty,” I tell her instead, fisting my hand into her hair. “So fucking good.”

“Promise me, Ledger,” she says, leaning her head back slightly when I tug on her hair.

I bring my lips to her breasts, covering one with my mouth as I nibble her nipple between my teeth, and then suck. “I can’t,” I whisper as I move from one breast to the other, repeating the action. I keep sucking on her, going back and forth from breast to breast.

She pulls at my hair, and brings me to where our eyes lock. “Lie to me,” she says, kissing me hard against my lips.
