Ruby Revenge

HIM

Iwas a fucking idiot.

I’d known for months that I would do whatever I needed to protect her, yet I’d still resisted kissing her on the lips. Why? Right now, I had no damn idea. Because kissing her felt as natural as breathing. I didn’t know how I’d gone this long without kissing her. But I knew without a doubt I’d now be doing it every fucking chance I got.

She moaned into my mouth as our tongues met. My hand got lost in her hair as I kept her pressed against me. Her taste was everything I knew it would be. There was so much darkness spiraling around us, but none of it could touch us in this moment. Our problems were long forgotten as I kept my lips on hers.

Without breaking our kiss, I lifted her in my arms, carrying her toward my bedroom. Her eyes popped open, and she pulled away.

“Niko. We can’t see the driveway from back here—”

“It’s fine,” I told her, setting her on my bed. “They’re gone for the weekend. If they come back, my dad will call.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” With that answer, I crawled on top of her and leaned down to kiss her again. Alex and my dad were doing research for the group, and it had been planned for a while. They were most likely already halfway out of Michigan by now.

Raising her head, she met my kiss, wrapping her arms around my neck. She opened her mouth, allowing my tongue to slip back inside. I was going to savor everything about this night. Because I wasn’t sure when it would happen again.

Her hands went under my shirt, her fingers trailing down my spine. She gripped the bottom of my shirt and pulled it over my head. It only took a few moments for the rest of our clothes to end up in a pile on the floor. I lay back on top of her, relishing feeling her soft skin against mine.

“You know, this is the first time we’re actually going to sleep together in a bed.” Her giggle turned into a moan when my tongue traced her collarbone.

“Not sure how much sleep we’ll get,” I muttered between kisses as I moved lower down her stomach.

No more words were spoken when my tongue reached one of its favorite places. She kept her legs spread as I licked and sucked liked she was my last meal. I slowly slid a finger inside her, keeping my mouth on her clit. I added a second finger, and her thighs began tightening around my head.

My cock was hard and aching to be inside her, but I wanted to savor this for as long as I could. Things were changing. Our sneaking around wasn’t going to happen anymore. Not when my dad wanted me to help with the group. I’d seen it in her eyes earlier. She was at her breaking point about being here. She’d leave soon, and her future wasn’t going to have me in it if she was successful with whatever she was planning.

Her cries made my cock twitch when she came hard. Her thighs crushed the sides of my head as her body heaved with every breath. Once her hold loosened, I lifted my head up to see her looking back at me. Her gaze that once held pure hatred for me was now full of emotions I’d never expected to see from her. Warmth. Trust. Desire.

I couldn’t wait anymore. I had all night to taste her again. Reaching into the nightstand drawer, I grabbed a condom and ripped it open, sliding it over my cock as she stayed still underneath me. My hands pressed into the mattress on either side of her head as I eased inside of her.

Her pussy clenched around my cock as I inched deeper. My eyes were locked on hers as I started moving. Her legs wrapped around my waist, giving me a better angle to hit her sweet spot.

“I don’t know if I can do it,” she mumbled breathlessly. “I don’t know if I’m strong enough to leave and do this, not knowing if I’ll ever see you again.”

I didn’t stop my slow strokes as I answered. “You are. You’re going to leave and end this, Sage. Then you’re going to live. And enjoy life.”

“Without you?” she choked out. “I don’t want to.”

“You don’t want to stay trapped here.” I pulled out and plunged back inside her, making her cry out. “I’ll help however I can. But you’re going to do it. Understand?”

She nodded. “I’ll tell you what I’m planning.”

“Tomorrow,” I told her as I lowered myself down on top of her, both of us sinking into the mattress as her legs began trembling.

Her arms went around me as I continued to plunge inside her. This time was different from what we’d done in the past. There were no barriers between us anymore. I gave her what she wanted. I chose her. And I always would.

Her breathing quickened as she climbed to the edge again. My face was in the crook of her neck, her scent surrounding me as I moved faster. She felt so fucking good. I wanted to remember every single detail about her because those would be what I lived on once she left.

My balls tightened as pleasure ricocheted through me, her screams heightening my climax as she came too. I stayed on top of her as we caught our breath. Her heart pounded against my chest as she ran her hands through my hair.

After a while, she broke the silence. “I don’t want this night to end.”

Lifting my head from her neck, I kissed her on the lips. Neither did I. When Alex came back, everything was going to change. I was going to make every single second of this weekend count before we were forced back to reality.
