Assumption (Underground Kings #1)

“You love me?” I ask, ignoring everything else he just said, my mind zeroing in on that one fact.

 

His eyebrows rise and he shakes his head. “What do you think we’re doing here?”

 

I swallow and shrug my shoulders at his familiar words.

 

“Baby, you need to start looking at what’s going on around you.”

 

“You never told me.”

 

“I show you every day,” he says, looking dumbfounded.

 

“You should have told me you loved me.” I resort to getting angry. Why the hell are guys so damn stupid?

 

“Love.”

 

“What?”

 

“I love you. It’s not past tense. I love you now and will love you until my heart stops beating.”

 

My belly flips and I shake my head. “I’m in a whole lot of love with you too.”

 

“Why didn’t you tell me?” he asks, his eyes narrowing.

 

“I didn’t know until today.” I shrug, pulling the sheet up higher on my chest.

 

“What?”

 

“I didn’t know.”

 

“I know you love me,” he says, and I’m sure he did know, because he knows what love feels like.

 

“I have loved—really loved—only one person, and that was my son.” I look around, trying to think of a way to explain it to him. “My love for him was different. It was one-sided and pure of any other emotions. Then, today, you sent me a text message, and when I read that you would meet me at home, something in me clicked into place. I have never had that—a home or someone to go home to. That’s when I understood what I’m feeling. You’re my home. You’re the person I belong to.”

 

“Stop,” he growls, and I know that he understands now.

 

“You’re the glue that holds all of my broken pieces together,” I say quietly.

 

“Autumn—”

 

“You love me for me,” I whisper, and I know he’s done when he plows into me, his body knocking mine backwards onto the bed, caging me in.

 

“I said shut it.” His mouth comes down on mine, his tongue seeking entrance.

 

I open my mouth under his. My hands go to his back, feeling his warm, smooth skin under my fingers. His fingers go to my center, where he pulls my panties to the side. Then his fingers run down my slit, causing my hips to jerk at the contact.

 

“Lift your hips.”

 

I do what he says, raising my hips off the bed. His hands pull my panties down my thighs, his weight leaving me only to drag them off me. As soon as they’re gone, his fingers go right back to where they were, making my hips shift and jerk once again.

 

“I think it’s time I get your mouth. What do you think?”

 

My * convulses, sucking his fingers deeper.

 

“My girl likes that idea,” he says, licking up my neck before rolling to his back.

 

I watch as his hips lift and he pulls his boxers down, kicking them off the bed. His hand wraps around his cock, stroking twice and causing a bead of pre-cum to seep out of the tip. My mouth waters and I lick my lips. His groan has my eyes going to his as I bend forward on my knees to lick the tip. His taste bursts on my tongue, and I want more, so I wrap my hand over his and close my lips over the tip, swirling my tongue around it.

 

His fingers run over my cheek, around my ear, and down my neck, shoulder, back, and ass before hitting me just right. I moan, taking more of him into my mouth.

 

“Com’ere,” he groans, shifting my hips over his head. The second his tongue touches me, I cry out, forgetting what I’m supposed to be doing. “You stop, I stop,” he growls, slapping my ass. I moan, taking him as deep as I can, causing him to hit the back of my throat, which makes me gag.

 

I can feel his fingers holding me open while he licks and sucks, not missing any part. I feel my orgasm approaching and know that it’s going to be huge. My hips start bucking against his face, my hand working fast with my mouth. Do I know what I’m doing? No, but I know him, and I know the noises he makes when something feels good. I know we’re both close, but then he lifts me off his face with an order of, “Ride me.”

 

I start to turn to face him, but his hands hold my hips in place.

 

“Reverse, baby.”

 

I can feel more wetness build between my thighs. One of his hands holds his cock upright, the other wrapping around my hip. I position myself over him and sink down hard. My head flies back and a loud moan leaves my mouth. I just found my new favorite position.

 

The head of his cock hits my G-spot on each downward thrust. His hands slide around my waist, one going up to cup my breast, the other down to roll over my clit.

 

“Shit. I need a mirror.”

 

I look over my shoulder and down at him. His eyes are at half-mast and his cheeks have a slight pinkness, and I know I did that to him. I made his hot even hotter just by fucking him.

 

His hand wraps around my hair, pulling my head back, and I hold the position for a minute before leaning forward. My hands go to his shins as I start to ride him hard and fast. I can feel myself getting closer the harder I ride. When his hips start lifting to meet mine, I cry out my orgasm as he grunts his.

 

“Wow,” I breathe into the crook of my arm, where my face had ended up.

 

“Fuck yeah. Perfection in everything you do, baby.”

 

I smile into my arm before lifting myself off him and turning around to lie against his chest with my chin on my hands. “I love you,” I tell him, looking into his eyes, my finger tracing first one eyebrow, then the other, and then around his lips, which I love so much.

 

“Love you, baby.” He leans up, kissing my mouth. “I gotta clean up. You wanna come, or do you want me to bring you something?”

 

“I wanna come,” I smile.

 

“Smartass.” He smiles back, smacking my ass lightly and shaking his head.

 

I follow him into the bathroom, where he cleans me up before smacking me on the ass as I walk back into the bedroom. I don’t even bother saying anything when he does it; I know it’s pointless to tell him to stop. Instead, I pick my panties up off the floor, toss them towards the closet, and grab a new pair from the drawer before stepping into them.

 

“I fucking love those.”
