Damaged and the Knight (Damaged #2)

“I’m threatening the guy who tries to take you away.”


“What’s he like?” I teased, stepping away from his curious fingers. “How does he woo me from my man?”

“Who cares? He’ll be dead before he touches you.”

“Because I’m yours?” I said, backing up towards the bed. “Because I’ll always be yours?”

Watching me slide under the covers and hold them up for him, Judd gave me a soft smile. “You really are my angel.”

“And you’ll always be my knight.”





Chapter Twenty Six


Waking up next to Judd, I smiled at the sight of him in the pink sheeted bed. His skull tattoo looked especially silly surrounded by so much frilliness. I wanted to reach out and touch the tattoo, caress my fingers over the inked flesh then follow with my lips and tongue. Knowing he destroyed one of the monsters who once destroyed me, I wanted to claim every inch of Judd. Yet, he was tired after a long stressful night, so I kept my hands to myself. Despite my self-control, Judd likely felt me watching him because he opened his eyes.

“How you feeling, babe?”

“Tired.”

“Want to sleep more?”

“No.”

“Want to climb over here and wake me up real soft like?”

“Yes, please.”

“Fuck,” he groaned. “I love when you say please like that.”

“Do my good manners turn you on, stud?” I asked, straddling him. “May I please slide your cock in me now, sir?”

Judd laughed as his fingers went to my nipples. “Sure. Have at it, ma’am”

Stroking him between my legs, I softly scratched at his chest. “Thank you for letting me fuck you this morning. Now, please make me come so hard I lose the ability to make noise and wake up my sister.”

Grinning, Judd pulled me down for a kiss. What began as tender quickly grew heated when he nipped at my lower lip. By the time I slid back and he filled me, Judd looked like a man possessed.

“You’re mine,” he nearly growled. “Never forget that.”

“Stop bossing me around,” I muttered, moving faster. “And stroke me clit. You’re so lazy sometimes.”

Judd’s hungry expression softened and he sucked on a few fingers, wetting them nicely before stroking me. Quickly, I slapped a hand over my mouth and kept from waking the house.

As soon as I caught my breath, Judd rolled me onto my back and thrusted hard into me. Again, he seemed possessed with something between fear and anger. I held onto his arms and enjoyed every thrust. When I knew he was close, yet fighting the urge, I stroked myself and tightened around him as I came. The sensation was too much and Judd let go. Resting over me, he studied my face, tracing it with his index finger.

“Cooper, Tucker, Kirk, me, and few guys are hunting down the other bastards that hurt you. The fucker last night spilled info on his buddies. Once we kill them, you’ll never have to worry about another one showing up.”

My hands caressed his chest, stroking the tattoo with punctured heart. He looked so beautiful in the early morning light that I felt blessed to have him.

“I love you, Judd.”

“I love you too, babe,” he said, finally pulling out before resting next to me. “Vaughn can’t go with us because we’ll pass into territory that’s not safe for him. Since he’s staying, he’ll watch over you and Farah. That’s another thing. I want you to stay here with your sister while I’m gone. Can you do that?”

Nodding, I nuzzled his chest. “Do you think it’s safe for you to go after them?”

“They’re a small club. Nobodies really and they won’t see us coming. It’ll be fine, but I need you to be safe, so I can concentrate. You know how you distract me.”

Grinning, I caressed one of his nipples. “On purpose too.”

“My angel does have her naughty side.”

“I’ll miss you.”

“I doubt I’ll sleep good until I’m back,” he said then took a deep breath. “When I get back, I want you to move into my place.”

Swallowing hard, I gave him a grin. Mostly, I fought not to scream and jump up and down with excitement. “Are you sure?”

“I need you with me. It’s stupid to pretend like you aren’t already living with me when you’re there every night. Besides, Pearl needs a woman around the house.”

“I’ll give you space when you need it,” I said, stroking his face and ready for another around to celebrate this new arrangement. “I know you’re not used to sharing a space with someone and I’ll be cool about it.”

Judd’s eyes looked so pale in the morning light as they studied my face. “We just fit. It makes no sense, but I don’t feel right unless you’re around. Even just sitting somewhere doing nothing, it’s not good for me unless you’re sitting next to me doing nothing too.”

“I want to sit next to you doing nothing forever,” I said, stroking his cock.

“You’re quite the poet yourself,” he said, hardening in my hand.
