“I can’t let anything happen to you,” he said. The words spilling out of him came from a place he wasn’t even sure about. They were part of him.

“Nothing will.” She cupped his face, kissing him, and as he held her, something stirred within him. He didn’t completely understand it, but it was there, coiling in deep.

With a final thrust, he got inside her as deep as possible and filled her, his release flooding her cunt. At this time, he didn’t care for babies. He wanted them, but being with her wasn’t about making children and more about being alive with her.

Kissing her shoulder, he collapsed against her. “You should be resting.”

“The doctors don’t know what they’re talking about.” He stroked her hair. “I meant what I said. Nothing can happen to you.”

“Stop worrying about me. Nothing is going to happen to me. Look what happened the other day. I wasn’t there and you were the one in danger, not me.” She sat back and sighed. “I know we haven’t known each other all that long, but I can’t stand the thought of anything bad happening to you.”

Liam pressed his lips together, knowing there were no words he could say to convince her that all was fine. Nothing was fine.

“You never told me what caused the accident,” she said.

He shrugged. “I don’t know. I’ve had the guys look over my car, and there’s nothing.” It baffled him. “One moment, we were driving along, the next, boom. From what they can tell, my tire blew out, and with me making such a sharp turn, I flipped the car. That’s when Lewis … you know.”

“I know.”

“I never meant to hurt him. I hope you know that.”

She touched his cheek. “Of course, I know that.”

“We don’t know what he did inside that building,” Liam said.

“Maybe I should go and talk to him?”

“No,” he said. “You said so yourself. There’s that bad spirit and all that. I’m not going to have you put yourself in danger for me. I’m not having it. We’re going to enjoy our married life. I’ve already put a call in to my dad and told him straight. I’m spending the next two weeks with you.”

“Two weeks?”

“Yes.”

She gave him a smile.

“I know we’ve got your brother’s funeral to go to, but I’m going to be there. Your father’s arranging a burial for Anna as well. She’s going to rest beside her father.”

They had discovered that with Anna’s death, Lewis had no choice but to put Tana, her mother, into a ward to stop her from killing herself.

“Thank you,” she said.

There was nothing to thank him for. They were her family and by relation, his.

“You’re checking out my ass, aren’t you?”

“Guilty.”

Jenny laughed as she glanced behind her to find her husband indeed checking out her ass. “That’s got to be illegal somewhere.”

“What has? A man looking at his wife’s ass?”

“No, the way you’re looking at me.”

“And how am I looking at you?”

She smiled at him. “Like you want to eat me.”

Liam climbed off his lounger and crawled toward her. He dropped a kiss at the back of each of her thighs, pulling the bikini panties she wore tightly so he could nibble each curve of her ass. She let out a gasp as he sank his teeth into her flesh. The slight nip of pain sent pleasure through her entire body.

“You’re not playing fair,” she said.

“Since when do I have to play fair to get what I want?”

They’d been enjoying their honeymoon for a week. The only sadness had come from attending Lewis’s funeral. She had expected her brother to turn up so she could talk to him, but he’d been distant. With Liam’s constant attention, she hadn’t been able to go to the house either. There were no spirits to visit her. Even her grandmother was giving her a break.

The outside world had ceased to exist, and for now, she was more than happy for that.

In one easy tug, Liam had her panties completely off her body.

“You’re still not playing fair.”

“I’m playing exactly how I need to,” he said, muttering the words against her skin. He cupped her ass cheeks, squeezing them tightly together before opening them. She glanced over her shoulder and saw his gaze was on her anus.

“See something you like?” she asked.

“Fuck, yeah.” His hand moved down, cupping her ass, and then she felt him slide between. He pushed a finger deep inside her, but he didn’t go to her clit, he pulled his fingers back, stroking over her anus.

She tensed up, but as he stroked across her asshole, she couldn’t help but relax. Each touch sent more and more pleasure rushing through her entire body.

“Do you have any idea what I want to do to you?” he asked.

“I’ve got an idea.”

“I’ve had your mouth, your pussy, and, baby, it’s time for me to take this ass.” The last word was said in a growl that had goosebumps erupting all over her skin.
