“Membership does have its benefits,” he teased. His tongue raked over the hard point.
I tried to understand the club. The society. The risk Damon took to be a member. What he was willing to pay for me. My head spun.
My fingers relaxed, giving him full access to my breast.
“Oh shit,” I whispered. I spiraled under his control.
He crawled on top of me. “This night is far from over,” he warned. “No more talk about The Titan. I’m never going back there.” He knelt over me. His eyes smoldered with want.
“Neither am I.” I tried hard to keep a serious face, but I burst into a fit of laughter.
“Hilarious.” He smiled wickedly as he crashed his lips against mine. I knew Damon would never quench my thirst for him. But he would spend the rest of this night trying.
His hands landed on my waist, twisting my hips until I was pinned on my stomach.
I could feel the tautness of his thighs as he pressed into me, raising my ass in the air. Every ounce of him dripped with power and strength. There wasn’t a part of his body that wasn’t toned with athletic precision.
His disciplined workouts might have been a leftover side effect of the Royal Navy, but when I looked at him I saw more than how hot he was. I saw a man who ran an entire country. Who had the weight of his citizens on his shoulders. A man who struggled to find freedom in strange places like The Titan.
He was willing to give all of that up. For me.
I had surrendered to him, but he had done the same. We had jumped off the cliff together.
My palms supported me as Damon pushed inside, jostling me forward with his strength. Filling me. Connecting with me. Loving me.
My body tightened with anticipation as he reared back and sank inside me again. I pushed into him, hungry for more. Eager for the friction his body gave.
“Oh, Molly.” His fingers dug into my flesh as he thrust into me. “Come for me,” he demanded.
“Ahh,” I cried. How did we keep doing this? Finding a higher cliff to climb. A higher place to jump. How did he keep showing me new ways to enjoy sex?
My body was ready to detonate around him.
“Fuck, you’re so sexy like this.”
My breasts grazed the sheets, bouncing as Damon took me with possession and determination. He fucked me slow and deep, drawing the climax from my core with torturous strokes.
“Come,” he commanded.
And I was lost. I convulsed wildly as we both skyrocketed to the highest peak before collapsing in our rapture.
Damon rolled on his side, tucking me next to him. He kissed me gently on the shoulder. “I do love you, Molly.”
I could hear the sleepy haze in his voice.
My eyes grew heavy. “I love you, too.”
Thirty-Five
Damon
The lodestar was thicker than usual. Although, this morning it was the last thing I wanted to focus on. Molly was naked next to me. I had brought coffee to bed along with the daily briefing. I read the day’s agenda while she slept. I had a hard time keeping my eyes off her body.
I’d never told a woman I loved her. I didn’t think it was in my DNA. But last night I spoke the words with full intention, meaning exactly what I said.
I was in love with this woman. I realized she wasn’t the one the dowager queen or Sutcliffe would have chosen for me. But I was sure as hell not going to end up like Sebastian, wanting one woman while hating the one I had.
Molly stirred next to me. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled.
