Without thought, I sink my fingers into her hair and force her head backward to look into my eyes while continuing to enter her hard. The sounds of our harsh breathing, and slaps of our bodies meeting each other echoes throughout the room.
“Fuck, Mouse, fuck…” I can’t stop the words from escaping my mouth. Pleasure fills her eyes, and her body shakes slightly, her pussy squeezing around my cock as she falls apart.
An incoherent moan fills her throat, and I release my hold on her hair, shoving her face back down into the mattress.
She cries out, in pleasure or pain, I’m not really sure, but I’m too far gone to stop. I hold her in place, fucking her straight through her orgasm, forcing her to take more of me, deeper.
A tightening in my balls tells me I’m close, and I can feel Mouse’s release dripping down over my cock.
“Mine. All fucking mine,” I roar, slamming into her, my pace relentless, as an earth-shattering orgasm tightens deep inside me. The knot of pleasure unravels, and I explode, my sticky cum filling her tight womb. I hold myself in place, letting her tightness milk every last fucking drop of my release. My chest heaves, and my heart races. I’ve never come so hard before.
Her pussy quivers around my cock, pushing out our combined juices. My gaze drops down to where we were connected. I made her perfect pussy all messy.
I untie her arms, and then her ankles, watching as she sags to the mattress in exhaustion. I brush a few sweat-slicked strands from her face, lying down beside her. Her big blue eyes peer into mine, her cheeks are pink, and her body is thoroughly worked over. She looks like she might fall asleep, and I couldn’t blame her if she did.
“I’m sorry for everything that happened tonight.”
“No. You have no reason to be sorry. None at all. You did everything I asked you to do. But like I told you, there are worse fucking men than me in this world and you met them tonight.”
“I found her,” she announces, placing a hand beneath her cheek, like a small child would, as she continues to gaze at me. “I walked down that hall instead of coming back for you.” Tears glisten in her eyes, and I know she feels guilty for doing what she did. But wouldn’t I have done the same? Hadn’t I? I’d killed or thought I killed our father for Damon.
“I betrayed you… I put myself in a situation and got caught. I made you spend all that money on me. Money that I’m not worth.” Guilt coats every word she says, and her bottom lip trembles. Her voice cracks me straight down the middle. She’s beating herself up over something that has already happened.
“I already know, Mouse. I know everything. I killed Benny, but not without getting all the information I could out of him first.” I felt no remorse over killing him either. He deserved to die.”
“You… you aren’t mad? You don’t want to punish me? Or kill me?” I blink, realizing I need to let her know how important she is to me. Maybe paying five million dollars to save her and have her as my own wasn’t enough. Maybe I need to tell her… with my voice
“No, Mouse. I don’t want to hurt you, and I won’t, nor will anyone else. You belong to me, and I…” My voice trembles. “I belong to you.” I whisper into her hair, pulling her into my chest.
“You… you love me?” She sounds shocked, as if she can’t believe what she is hearing.
I chuckle. “I don’t know if I can ever love anyone, but I care about you, and I think that’s the same thing. I’ve killed for you. I’ve protected you. I’ve showed you kindness that I don’t even show my brother… so if that’s what love is, then yes… Yes, I love you.”
“Xander.” My name falls from her lips on a sigh and I know I’ll never get tired of hearing her say it. I’ll never get tired of having her as mine, because for once in my life, it feels like I’ve found a home.
“Mine,” I growl, holding her tighter.
Always mine. Always.
Chapter 16
Ella
When we return home from Vegas, Xander and I get into a normal routine, or as normal as being with a criminal can be. I start to feel less like a prisoner and more like a member of his family. He treats me with the same respect he gives his brother and even leaves me with his son here and there.
I start to get comfortable with the idea of being his and maybe us being together but there are so many unknowns to our situation.
Xander comes with a heavy price tag… one that could cost me my life, and after Vegas, I’m not certain I’m prepared to go against any of his future enemies. I eye the adorable little boy sitting on the floor in front of me.
